THE KNOT OF BLUE AND GRAY.
Upon ny bosom lies
knot Of blue aud gray;
Tou ask me why. Tsars sll my eyes,
as low to you say;
he'd two brothers once
Wzrm- hearted, bold, and gay
They left my side-one were the blue,
The other wore the gray.
One rode with stonewall and his men;
And Joined his fate to Lee
The other followed sherman's m sYeh
Triumphant to the soa.
Both fought for what they deemed the right,
And died with Aword in hand
One sleeps amid virginias hills,
And one In 0eorgis's sands.
The same sun shines upon THAR graves
Ny love unchanged must stay;
And so upon my bosom lios
The knot o. blue and gray.

JusrrcEs' CouRr-A. n. ARNOLD, Jon
Tuesday, Charles Prescott (colored), formerly a
citizen of Boston (Mass.), was arrested at the
suit Of Messrs, Bellinger 4 Brown, publishers of
the States Rights Democrat, Messrs B. 4 B. max
ing affidavit that the said colored gentleman was
owing them for eight months subscription to the
Democrat and for advertising in the same, the sum
of seven dollars and half, and that he was
about gallivanting without due payment thereof.
Mr.. Charles Prescott being arrested and brought
before the Court, demanded an immediate trial
Upon being asked if he had counsel, he replied
that he had not, that he desired the plaintiffs
should have the privilege of publishing in the col
umns of the Democrat that one negro had pleaded
his own case in Oregon; also, that he had urgent
business below He signed and filed his demurrer
to the complaint, upon which the Court ruled that
the complaint was bad, and Mr.. Charles Prescott
{colored) was discharged at the cost of plaintiffs.
This sudden and overwhelming defeat of the
editors of 50 the oldest Democratic paper in Ore
gen., in their first attempt to coerce q .snig ger.
will doubtless g sour" them still more againstthe
hated race, and lead them to go after - * mig

| When the summons came, Mr. Iitcomb was far
from his home and kindred, but his death peace
tul. and bis last days were made glad by the atten
lions OF kind friends, and by the presence and sup
port of that God in whom he trusted.
| A little more than year ago be came among us
stranger. but his kindness OF heart and purity Of life
soon won for him many friends and made linn ever a
welcome companion. Ills health had been poor tor
many months, and in November last he determined
| to return to his home in the East His preparations
were all completed and he to start in few days,
when q sudden illness compelled him 10 change his
plans and confined him to the house OF those kind
friends who SO tenderly ministered to his dying
wants.
For four months he fingered. and until within a
week Of his death, cherished the hope Of recovery.
But when he tonnd that such hopes were vain. with
the most perfect submission he yielded to the will OF
the Master, and began to make preparations to die.
He gave minute directions concerning his funeral,
selected the pieces to be sung and chose the young
men who should bear him to the grave. And through
it all he was cheerful and happy, not only willing.
but glad to 60. And when the last hour came he
passed away with the name of Jesus his lips. Mr.
Iitcomb was an earnest and consistent member OF
the New Jerusalem Church, and by his upright and
pure life he showed to most clearly the genuine
| ness OF his Christianity.
Sincerely do we mourn his loss, hut not as those
without hopes for we laid him to rest in the hope
glorious Immortality, and in that better land we
know he still lives with the loved ones who have
| gone before.
