It was a nice place, and merchandise and other business was being carried on as if there was no war.

Hotels were doing a thriving business; steamboats were at the wharf, whistling and playing their calliopes.

I remember the one I heard was playing "Away Down on the Sewanee River." To me it seemed that everybody was smiling, and happy, and prosperous.
THE CAPITOL I went to the capitol, and it is a fine building, overlooking the city.
When I got there, I acted just like everybody that ever visited a fine building--they wanted to go on top and look at the landscape.

That is what they all say.

Now, I always wanted to go on top, but I never yet thought of landscape.
