When several persons stop in the passage,

The CurfeW.

The curfew ia q vulgar corruption of
couvre feu that is French tor 'covcr the
fire. 1t is more than doubtful whether
William the Conqueror IN reduced the
curfew into England. 1t is certain that
the practice prevailed in most other coun-
tries of Europ.; and there arc incidental
illusions by old writers. which, seem to
intimate that it was we'll known in Eng
land before the Norman invasion. The
object of tne cu1few was not to degrade
and humiliate vanqulshed people, but
to preserve life and property firm de-
struction by fire. The rule that firt and
candles should he extinguished at an early
hour, was no more arbitrary than the
same rule aboard ship, when We consider
the condition of society as it then was.
The houses were CHIEFLY built of wood,
and were far more combustlble than they
are now; the accidental outbreak of q fire
often ended In the destruction of half q
city and the loss of many lives. There
were no engines to put out tie fire-no
water supply to be obtained-no fire es-
lcapes to rescue endangered lives-no fire
offices to make good the losses. The cur
few was simply a useful police regulation,
and if it was sometimes barbarOusly en-
forced. it was merely characteristic Of the
barbarity of the times. No doubt Norman
William was rapaciOus, tyrannicai, and
arbitrary, but no censure can attach tc
him on account OF the curfew. The Gus
tom was, In all probability. practiced be
fore his time, and it was certainly con
tinued for six hundred years afterward
Even now. IN many places, the ringing d
bell is still continued at the appointed
hour, when
1.-The curfcw tolls the knell of psrtinl
day."
The custom of ringing the public bel
at nine o'clock every night long survived
IN New England villages, as we'll as else
iwbert; but on the introduction of town
clocks, and the general use of timekeepers
the necessity for this practice no longe
|continued, and it has gradually ceased.

An official report on the status of the
Russian Orthodox Church in 1873. pub.
Iished by Count Tolstoy. Russian Minister
of Public Worship and Procurator Gen.
eral OF the holy Synod. shows the said
Church to have numbered IN that year
81 ,CG2, ,O68 professed adherents, namely.
26, 3O2, $40 males aud ~. 759, 403 females
The recorded births number 3,0ll, ,33S,
namely, 1854, so boys and ], ,476, ,7G7 girls;
the marriages, 610,32O; deaths, 2,429 ,943,
namely, 1,245, ,3O5 males and 1 ,ls4, ,63S fe.
males. The administrative system of the
Church embraces sixty exarchies, of
which one has seat in America. The
hierarchy includes three Metropolitans,
sixteen Arcbbishops, thirty-five Bishops
aud thirty-seven Wears Episcopal.
About two years ago, there was q
serious secession to the Orthodox Church
in Poland. The movement began in the
Roman diocese of Chlem, when the Rus
sian Archbishop Of Warsaw proclaimed
that any United Greek congregation might
be received into the National Church,
with its pastor, without giving up its
liturgy and rites. 1t gradually spread
through all Poland, assuming large pro-
portions. In Sedletz, with a population
of 300, 600, there were 100. 600 persons
known as Catholics of the Oriental rite, -
a body acknowledging the Pope, but
whose priests are allowed, BY a special
dispensation, to marry. OF late, Rome
has shown disposition to abolish these
SPECIAL "rites," and an encyclical OF the
18th of May, 1874, caused so much irrita-
ton that half the "Uniates'' of Sed.etz
applied 70 the Gar for admission into the
Greek Church. After some delay, caused
apparently by ulwillingness to embltter
further the quarr.l with the Catholics of
Poland, permission was given, and on the
34th of January, 1875, $4,000 persons, in
cluding twenty-slx priests, were admitted
into the Orthodox Greek Church, since
which time the greater Part of their core
.|igionists have followed their example
