THE KNOT OF BLUE AND GRAY.

Upon my bosom lies
\ knot of blue and gray;
You ask me why? Tears fill my eyes
is low 10 you | say:
! had two brothers once
Warm-heartcd, bold and gay;
They left my Side-one wore the blue.
The other wore the gray.
One rode with Stoncwall and his men,
And joined his fate to Lee
The other followed Sherman'S march
Triumphant to the sea.
Both fought for what they deemed tie right,
And died with sword in hand;
One sleeps amid Nirginias hills,
And one in Gcorgia's sand.
The same sun shines upon their graves
Nv love unchanged must stay;
And 80 upon my bosom lies
The knot of blue aud gray.

An Important Book .

Some time last spring Senator Cockrcll
introduced resolution in the Senate direct
ing the Secretary of the Senate TO employ
competent persons TO make complete
indcN Of all documents of "A public nature
printed by order of Congress from the
foundation of the Government to the close
Of the forty-sixth Congress. This work is
now being pushed forward as rapidly as
possible and when complete will be II very
valuable and al most indispensable book in
the library of every public man. The
journals, records, documents, and laws of
each Congress are carefully examined and
indeXcd. Then, when his work is COM
rleted, il is the intention to index the book
50 formed by Subjects thus giving the
scarcher after information every facility
that "a complete index can afford.
1t not unfrequently happens that to llnd
some particular item or action requires
search of days through musty, dusty old
publications. This indexing system is de-
signed TO reduce it to the search of but u
moment. 1t is wonder that such a book
has not been printed before this.

A New year.. Cir. for Guiaeam.

This morning an Adams Express wagon
arrived at the City Hail. and the delivery
man brought into the Marshal's Office
heavy coil Of rope directed to "Charles J.
Guiteau, in care of the sheriff Of Washing
ton County, D. c., with the compliments Of
the Garfield and Arthur Club of Ohio"
The rope was about fifteen feet long and an
inch and a-half through. 1t would make a
good cable for vessel. but is too thick for
use on the gallows. The deputy marshal
declined to receive it, as the prisoner was
not in his custody Mt the time, and the eX-
pressmall was told that he would find the
assassin do.iiciled ut the Hotel de Crocler
at which place rope will be brought into
Iequisition when the proper time comes
for the haugman's work. The expressrnan
took the rope eff with him, and it is pre-
snmed delivered it at the jail.

Insane at n Hotel.

New YORK tribune.
A woman dressed in sealsk in sacque and
silk dress, and wearing handsome diamond
rings and jewelry, applied for II room in
the Everett House on December "a, and
registered herself as Mrs. S. NJ Templeton,
from Washington. She had no baggage.
but gave the clerk three checks for trunks
which she was expecting. The trunks did
not come for several days, and the cork
traced them to the Mount Vernon Hotel,
Baltimore, where they were detained for a
board bill. Before this was discoverd,
however, the woman was noticed acting
in an eccentric and strange manner. When
told ofthe discovery she denied ever hav
ing been in Baltimore.
She refused to settle her board bill, stat
ing that John Jacob Astor had told her not
20 pay it, as he had recently bought the
hotel. She declared that Rufus Hatch was
her uncle, and by various other statements
showed that she was insane. She was
taken before Justice Patterson Tuesday,
who committed her TO the care of the COM
missioners Of charities and correction. The
woman then said she was not married, and
gave her address as No. 1855 Washington
avenue, Chicago. The proprietor Of the
hotel thinks that the woman is respectfully
connected, and that she has wandered away
from her friends, who are probably now
looking for her. Her outfit and jewelry
are estimated at $500
