Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Olivia Letters: Being Some History of Washington City for Forty Years as Told by the Letters of a Newspaper Correspondent The time has come when our wealthy citizens need not to go abroad to see the finest specimen of architecture of the kind in the world. Visitors to the shrine of St. Paul and St. Peter return westward and award the palm of superiority to the dome of the nation's Capitol. Towering 300 feet from the base to the summit, its superb porportions, unsurpassed in the world of art, at once attract the attention of all beholders, and, as the king of the landscape, it reigns supreme. But to see it in all its regal beauty it should be aflame of a night, with its innumerable gas jets; then it becomes in every sense of the word, a "mountain of light," and shares the honors of the evening with the "Pleiades," "Orion," and the "Milky Way." The Pharaoh who built the mighty pyramid of Egypt simply constructed his own monument, and in the same way the architect of the dome, a citizen of good old Philadelphia, has woven his name into a fragment of the web of Time. Thomas U. Walter - do you know him? - the man who held this mighty tower in his brain, in all its perfection, long, long before it ever saw the light of day. When you and I, dear reader, are not so much as a pinch of dust - when the names of Washington and Lincoln are as remote as the sages who lived before Christ - the great architects of the world will live, whether they sprung from the tawny mud of the Nile, the soil of classic Greece, or the rich vegetable mould of the western hemisphere.

Congressmen Speer, Clymer, Ackley And O'neill. 'Washington, January 15, 1880. "Birdie, oh, come and live with me; You shall be happy--you shall be free." Contrary to all precedents of the past, the coming-of Congress has had little or no effect on the matrimonial market, although it is confidently believed that Charley O'Neill is holding a vast amount of "stock." Notwithstanding the danger and difficulties of carrying this weight, he has decided to enact the role of the immortal Don Quixote, and has already planted the banner of his famous predecessor on the soil of the capital of the New World. But lest Philadelphia take umbrage at this unnatural exploit, as it looks like spurning the city of his beloved soul, he wishes it understood that had he fixed Philadelphia as a starting-point he would have been confined by the meshes of the Camerons, whereas Washington, being the centre of civilization, offers facilities that cannot be breached until the farthest limit of the whole country is reached. As matters now stand, there isn't a maid or widow at the capital whose heart is not pit-apat, and even married women are providing against a morning of storm which might close in perpetual sunshine. Already the first celebrated battle has been fought, and contrary to the usage of ancient chivalry. But as this is a different age, and bottom side the globe as to Spain, it must not be expected that ancient rules will be followed. When Charley O'Neill attacked the windmills the other day in the House it was found that he had hit Sam Randall in disguise. When he learned that he had got the wrong pig by the ear, he soon scattered his forces and comforted himself by thinking, if he had not destroyed a windmill of which Philadelphia...

Download or read book Mark Twain in Washington D C written by John Muller and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rollicking account of how Mark Twain mocked and mined DC’s self-important, incompetent, and corrupt political scene to further his literary career. When young Samuel Clemens first visited the nation’s capital in 1854, both were rough around the edges and of dubious potential. Returning as Mark Twain in 1867, he brought his sharp eye and acerbic pen to the task of covering the capital for nearly a half-dozen newspapers. He fit in perfectly among the other hard-drinking and irreverent correspondents. His bohemian sojourn in Washington, DC, has been largely overlooked, but his time in the capital city was catalytic to Twain’s rise as America’s foremost man of letters. While in Washington City, Twain received a publishing offer from the American Publishing Company that would jumpstart his fame. Through original research unearthing never-before-seen material, author John Muller explores how Mark Twain’s adventures as a capital correspondent proved to be a critical turning point in his career. Includes photos! “Muller’s careful research, hard facts, well-chosen illustrations, and fresh discoveries bring Twain’s Washington period back to life.” —TwainWeb
