The Blue and the Gray.

New York World: Seventy-five gray-clad ■ members of R. E. Lee camp, No. 1, of confederate veterans, arrived in this city yesterday morning. They are to be the guests of Seward Post, No. 37, Grand Army of the Republic, with headquarters at Auburn, in this state, a committee from which post met them on their arrival. One of the veterans, speaking to a World reporter, said: “We came by invitation of Seward Post, who extended it to us some weeks ago. By our presence with our former adversaries in arms on the Fourth day of July Ave mean to emphasize the idea of honest and heartfelt fxaternity as existing between those who fought. Next year we shall entertain our kind friends of the north at Richmond.” The camp left for Auburn last night at 6 o’clock. They will spend tbe Fourth in Auburn and on Sunday visit Niagara Falls, re-“ turning home on Monday. - A eurtosity at Rockford, 111., is a young negress with a luxuriant growth of auburn ringlets.
