Said this enchanting fair Had late retired from the Bodies, A cant appellation given among the soldiery to the corps that has the honor to guard his majesty's person. In all the pomp of war.That drums and merry fifes had played To honor her retreat, And Cunningham himself conveyed The lady through the street.Great Wayne, by soft compassion swayed, To no inquiry stoops, But takes the fair, afflicted maid Right into Yan Van Poop's.So Roman Antony, they say, Disgraced th' imperial banner, And for a gypsy lost a day, Like Anthony the tanner.The Hamadryad had but half Received redress from Wayne, When drums and colors, cow and calf, Came down the road amain.All in a cloud of dust were seen, The sheep, the horse, the goat, The gentle heifer, ass obscene T

eets, room was made for 3,000 prisoners. Both churches were stripped of their pews, and floors were laid from one gallery to the other. Sugar-House in liberty Street. Provost jail. Smaller churches were used for hospitals. Rhinelander's, Van Cortlandt's, and Livingston's sugar-houses contained hundreds of prisoners, whose sufferings for want of fresh air, food, and cleanliness were dreadful. Under Commissaries Loring, Sproat, and others, and particularly under the infamous Provost-Marshal Cunningham, the prisoners in these buildings and the provost jail received the most brutal treatment. Hundreds died and were cast into pits without any funeral ceremonies. The heat of summer was suffocating in the sugar-house prisons. I saw, says Dunlap, in describing the one in Liberty Street, every narrow aperture of those stone walls filled with human heads, face above face, seeking a portion of the external air. For many weeks the deadcart visited this prison (a fair type of the other

ile on one of these excursions, in company with Kosciuszko, he fell into an ambuscade and was killed. This, it is believed, was the last life sacrificed in battle in the war. The 25th of November was appointed for the evacuation of the city of New York by the British. The latter claimed the right of occupation until noon. Early in the morning Mrs. Day, who kept a boarding-house in Murray Street, near the Hudson River, ran up the American flag upon a pole at the gable end of her house, Cunningham, the British provost-marshal, hearing of it, sent an order for her to pull down the flag. She refused, and at about 9 A. M. he went in person to compel her to take it down. He was in full dress, in scarlet uniform and powdered wig. She was sweeping at the door. He ordered her to take down the flag. She refused. He seized the halyards to haul it down himself, whereupon the spunky lady fell upon him with her broom. She made the powder fly out of his wig and finally beat him off. This w

ty, A political organization in the United States which grew out of several labor societies which had actively entered political life. From the same source was also developed the National Union Labor party. Many members of these two parties were formerly identified with the Greenback-Labor party. In the Presidential campaign of 1888 the United Labor party nominated R. H. Cowdry (Ill.) for President and W. H. T. Wakefield (Kan.) for Vice-President, and this ticket received 2,808 popular votes. The National Union Labor party nominated Alson J. Streeter (Ill.) for President and C. E. Cunningham (Ark.) for Vice-President, and this ticket received 148,105 popular votes, both parties receiving support from the same source, showing want of harmony. In the Presidential campaigns of 1892. 1896, and 1900, neither of these parties appeared under their former names, but in each year a Social Labor party made nominations and received popular votes of 21,164, 36,274, and 39,537 respectively.

of Maj. John Andre. The circumstances which brought about the death of that brave, bright, and unfortunate young officer are narrated with such ample detail in all American histories, and the whole story of the treason of Benedict Arnold and the arrest of Andre is so familiar that I need not dwell upon them. His one Monument to Major Andre, Westminster Abbey. desire was that he should not be regarded as a spy, and that he should be shot as a soldier, not hung as a felon. But Provost-Marshal Cunningham had hung Capt. Nathan Hale, and hence Andre pleaded in vain in his letter to Washington that he had agreed to meet a person (Arnold or his agent) who was to give him intelligence upon ground not within the posts of either army. Against my stipulation, he said, my intention, and without my knowledge, I was conducted within one of your posts. Surely, he said to Major Tallmadge, you do not consider Hale's case and mine alike. Yes, replied the American major, precisely similar, a
