on either side of the scaffold. One hundred and ninety bounty-jumpers and brokers, previously marched out of their cells, occupied the background, the brokers separated by a short interval from their victims. A dozen newspaper reporters stood near the gallows. The first act under the gallows was the reading of the findings and sentence of the court- martial which convicted Kennedy, with the order of General Dix confirming the sentence. During this ceremony, which was performed by Captain French, the prisoner preserved his composure, occasionally smiling or breaking out into such expressions as these: "A d-- lie! " (referring to the charge of being a spy). "That isn't a crime, is it?" (referring to the charge of being in the rebel army.) The reading of the death-sentence having been concluded, Kennedy said, in a loud voice: "Gentlemen, this is murder." At the conclusion of the prayer, the clergyman kneeled in front of the prisoner and offered a touching plea in his beha

whose individual strength of character and complete adaptation to the work he had to do, the settlement at Jamestown would have been a disastrous failure. We have no disposition to detract from the merits of any of the other pioneers of civilization in the Western world. Nearly all the great nations of Europe made various attempts to plant the germ of empire upon American soil. In addition to the representatives at Jamestown and Plymouth of the Anglo-Saxon race, there were the Swedes, French, Spaniards, and those Dutch of New Amsterdam who, in the veracious and charming chronicles of Diedrich Knickerbocker, are embalmed for immortality. The descendants of those last still keep up, as well they may, an annual festival in honor of the days of Peter Stuyvesant, Worter Van Twiller, and the broad-bottomed and many trowsered burghers who laid, with much deliberation and the patient industry of beavers, the foundation of what is now the Empire City. But none of all these European set

ded, and the proceedings quite interesting. It appears that, some time after the late war commenced, the District Grand Lodge granted a dispensation to certain brethren of Alexandria, Virginia, under the title of "Union Lodge," and for several months they worked harmoniously. During the past year a continuance of the charter was refused, and the affairs of the Union Lodge honorably closed. At the November communication of the District Grand Lodge, a committee, consisting of R. W. Brothers French, Donaldson and Stevens, was appointed to visit the Grand Lodge of Virginia, at a meeting which subsequently took place in Richmond, for the purpose of re-establishing fully all the fraternal relations which formerly existed between these two bodies. The committee proceeded to the Grand Lodge of Virginia, were cordially received, and in due form welcomed. A committee, consisting of Messrs. J. R. Purdy, L. B. Williams, H. W. Thomas, T. D. August and T. F. Owens, were appointed by the Virgini
