The BEGINNING of the End

We clip the following paragraph from a
Northern paper
The Massachusetts Grand Division. at
the quarterly meeting in Ncwburyport on
Wednesday last, resolved, 81 to 10, 10 main.
tain the Subordinate Divisions to admit
members TO the Order without regard to
color. This is against the National Division
i'll Boston, which voted, 76 TO 6, that it is
improper to admit colorcd men,
We have little question but that, sooner
or later, the determination of Massachusetts
will be sustained by the National Division
and when that is done the South will OF
course withdraw. In the meantime VIC
think that no person. having card from the
Grand Division of Massachusetts should be
recognized inthe South as n Son of TEN.
perance. The contumacy of that Division
should be treated, as, ipso tacto, a forfeiture
of their charter.

Washington Monument.

The Washington National Monument
Society was formed in 1899, by some OF
the hrst men Of the nation. The plan was
10 bui!d the monument by voluntary con.
tributors of 81 each. In 1856 there
were contributed, on this plan, $2S, ,OOO.-
ms money was invested in safe stocks,
and the interest added yearly, until il had
accumulated to nearly S50,00O.
with this fund to operate with, site
was procured, design for the monu,ncn,
selected, and the foundation laid july l,h.
l0iS. The work has been steadily pro.
crossing from that period, and the original
plan ct erecting it by voluntary contributors
is still adhered TO, but without the Im;ta.
ton to one dollar each. Large contribu-
TONS from the rich, and smaller but not less
patriotic offerings from those not classcd
among the wealthy, arc alike acceptable
f,very American ought to esteem il priv
ilege to be- able to assist in this patriotic
work.
The monument will consist of two parts
"a lofty column or oLclisk in the centre.
and temple around its base The great
ooclIsk III The centre is the part now in pro-
grcSs, and to be completed first. This rrel,
structure is to be 800 feet high, 55 tcct
square at the top, with an opening in the
centre ~ feet square. The walls arc ID
iect thick at the base and will be four and a
nan al the Top, faced throughout, with
large deep blocks Of excellent white mar
bic. More than 80 feet Of this lofty col.
umn arc already completed, and it Will he
carried up an hundred fee, year, if funds
are provided The estimated cost of the
ohcilsk is half million OF dollars, Of which
nearly one hundred thousand have been al.
ready received.
The Pantheon at the base, embraces a
circular colonnadcd building, $50 fec, in
diameter and 100 feet high, from which
springs the obclisk SHAFT, thus giving the
latter total elevation Of G0U feet. This
vast ro'nnda is surrounded by 80 columns
OF massive proportions, being IL feet in
diameter and 10 feet high, standing upon II
base OF 20 feet elevation and 800 fee,
square; surmoun,cd by an cntablaturc &c
feet high, and crowned by a massive baus-,
trade fifteen feet IN height. The total cx.
pense Of the monument is estimated q
