BLUE AND GRAY.-(From the Cairo Bulte-
fn.l-The press in many parts of the coun-
try have given st. Louis the credit OF being
the first to decorate the graves Of both Con-
federate and Union soldiers on Decoration
Day. The people of Southern Illinois, who
meet annually at the Mound CITY Natlonal
Cemetery to strew with flowers the graves
of 5000 soldiers, have never made distinc-
tons between those of the blue and the gray.
Both have shared alike the tributes Of re"
membrane. During the first years OF the
observance of the rite this was done without
special Encouragement or comment. A
wear ago it was made the subject OF congratu'
iation by the speakers, and received the APP
prevail OF the large concourse OF peoPie VIM
took mart in the ceremonies. The Mound
City Cemetery contains the graves of no IN.
significant number of Confederate dead, ana
the fact we have referred to is not unworthy
of note.

day written by Mr.. Greeley in 1866 to Mr..
George Z. Baker, in which he suggests the
name of William c. Bryant for Secretary of
State. He says: You know / don't like
him personally, nor he me; but l can't think
of any man of greater mark, and | think be
is thoroughly honest and capable:" This and
much more Of generous praise Mr.. Greeley,
rising above his personal prejudices, gives to
his heightened enemy. The venerable poets
irasci6ility and petty rancor which have fol-
lowed Mr.. Greeley beyond the tomb show
in a pitiable light beside the generous i'm

Ropes for Firsmen

The Boston Traveller suggests to the
committee on he-reerganization of the
fire department of that city that there
ought to be attached to every hose car
uage a tail-block and 40 feet of 28-inch
rope snugly coiledup, with the turns care
fully taken out of it before coiled, and
arranged In such a way that man could
easily carry it on his back up stairs to
the to3 of building. The Traveller
says: 4" The whole weight of such coil
need not exceed fifty pounds. Let there
be a small hook in each end of the rope,
and hook in the end of the tail at
tached to the block. Manila hemp
rope, being timber, would be the best.
When, an alarm of fire sounds, let it be
the duty of one man to proceed to the
scene of the fire as fast as possible. If
it should be in a high building, and
there is chance to ascend by the stairs,
let the rope be carried up to the most
convenient window, shut the room door
to keep the smoke out, then make fast
the tail5block, and throw both ends of
the. rope into the street. One end can
readily be hooked around the hose, and
then the crowd below, taking hold of
the other end, could run the hose up to
the top of any building in a few seconds.
There a man would be on hand to re-
ceive it, and know how to arrange it for
service without delay. Those who own
high buildings would do well to have
such a coil of rope themselves -inde-
pendent of the fire department. But,
as manila rope is liable to swell when in
contact with water, whale line might
be used in preference. This rope would
also be a means of escape for the hose
men when they found the place. too hot
for them. With the blight of it around
under the arms and the hook over the
rope, man taking hold of the other
part could easily lower himself to the
street, having first sent the hose down.
The same process could easily be used
for raising or lowering ladders, or for
taking ont light furniture from upper
stories"
