Washington and its environs: an illustrated descriptive and historical hand-book to the capital of the United States of America . ircase, the same as on the E. At the footis the head of Bee-she-kee, The Buflalo, a Chippewa warriorfrom the sources of the Mississippi, from nature by F. Vin-centi, 1854; copied in bronze by Joseph Lassalle, 1858. Op-posite, over the first landing, is Westward Ho, a chromo-silica,by Emanuel Leutze, 1862, 820,000. The best view is fromthe balustrade at the top of the staircase. The painting rep-resents an emigrant train crossing the Rocky Mountains. Thefigures are excellent, and the face of nature in those high al-titudes is faithfully portrayed. A guide to tiiese wild regionsleads the way. The faces of the travel-worn emigrants beamwith hope. In the distant valley in the rear is an emigrantcamp. The snow-clad peaks and rugged rocks all appear intheir wild sublimity. Above are the words Westward theCourse of Empire takes it waj^, and below is the GoldenGate, the entrance to the harbor of San Francisco. Theentu-e picture is surrounded by an appropriate border.
