tfiTT Petitions are frequently signed by miny
persona without the slightest knowledge of their
content?, and merely to get rid of annoying can
vassers. It is stated that several years ago,! at
Albany, two members of the New York Legisla
ture were disputing on this subject, when one of
them ; laid a wager that within three days he
could produce a memorial jwith one hundred
veritable names attached, asking the Legislature
to pass a law to bang one of the most disttn
guished clergymen at the State capital. The
bet was taken, and, witTiin the time, it is asserted
the memorial was produced.; In this case it is
very evident that the memorialists neither, knew
nor cared what they had signed. j r f!

' An! Incident of the War. I
- TT ' . m . aw ': ' 1 .' - - '' L'
in an arucie in tbe iNew York Weekly, en
titled ''Scenes at the Gallows," among heroic
deaths upon the scaffolds is mentioned that of
Capt. John 1 Yates Beall, of Jefferson county, Va
a Confederate nayal officer, who was hanged in
1864 upon Governor's Island upon some; charge
preferred against him by the U. 8. authorities.
The writer says of that gallant and unfortunate
gentleman:, i' .;..' 'H
In my own experience, he was the!; 'noblest
criminal ever condemned to death. ; j
Between his tlace of confinement and the
scaffold, was a distance of several rods, which he
was, compelled to walk, between guards,' and the
executioner by his side, j ii '
The gallows was situated on a green knoll com
manding a lookout over the bay to the south
west, and was surrounded by a select j throng
of invited guests of perhaps one j hundred and
Beall marched over the green hillocks, very
pale, but perfectly self-possessed. The ominous
black cap was on his head, and its long! tassels
swayed in the fresh morning breeze that breath
ed gently from the sea. His step was firm and
steady and; upon arriving at the edge of the
scaffold, he crazed at the dread instrument of
death without the least exhibition of emotion-
no matter what wild thoughts may have ' made
a theatre of his breast. : It was a beautiful day.
The ground upon which he stood, and the Islands
surrounding it, were fresh and . green with the
first kiss of early spring : Manhattan Island, with
its steeples and towers, gleamed in the distance:
and the bright, blue waters of the bay were
leaping in the glad, morning sunlight, j j i
Kverv obiect invited the Drivileere of existence.
and rebuked the very idea of death. ; I ; i
But by no expression ot the doomed man s
face could be detected the slightest emotion. He
submitted to .the Jape and tedious readipc qf . his
jseptence wi&Qut impatience, and made the ifaw
remarks in palliation of. his crime which have
been recorded in all our daily press; ibufc just-
before the black cap was. drawn over his face
Heaven! what an infinitude of love and beauty
it shuts out at such an hour, I who stoo4 nearest
to him, (with the exception of the hangman I
alone heard him utter the words: 'I ani coming
:to you quickly, Alice; do not think I am afraid.'
The tone of his voice was low and steady, and
.the next instant he was launched into eternity;
but. (here .was .something ' brave and simple in
those last wortls,, the memory of which has never
.ceased to hapnt me." ' : '
