How "Curfew" Was Written.

Of the hundreds of residents of thes
city of San Antonio, Tex, says the
Brooklyn Magazine, only few who,
frequently meet tall, slender lady.i
with raven brown eyes and hair, and
with singular attractiveness in her
face, know that she is Mrs. Rose Hart
wick Thorpe, whose famous poem, Cur
few Must Not Ring Tonight" has
given her a reputation in both hemi4
spheres. How, at the age of 16 years.
the young country girl was led to write
the poem, now so widely known, is thus
narrated, as furnished by her personally
for this publication: The poem was
suggested to me by the reading of q.
story, Love and Loyalty in April, 1867.
was then a plain country schoolgirl
not yet II, residing with my parents at
Litchfield, Mich. and under the pretext
of working out mathematical problems /
with my arithmetic before me, wrotei
the poem roughly on my slate. / was
forced to carry on my literary work un-,
der these difficulties because of the opin-4
ion of my parents that my time could
be better employed than in idle dreams,
and useless rhymes l wrote the first
copy on my slate between 4 and 81
o'clock in the afternoon, but much time
has since been spent in correcting and
revising it. had no thought that q
would ever be able to write anything
worthy of public notice. The poem was
first published in the Detroit Commercial
Advertiser in the fall of 1870. The
editor, upon receipt of my manuscript
at once wrote me lengthy letter of
congratulation and praise in which he
fho 1l.,r- for hn
which they have since received. had
no literary friends, not even a literary
acquaintance at that time, and did not
know the simplest requirements for pre-
pairing my manuscript for publication. !"
The poem at once attracted popular at
tention, and bestowed upon its young
author a reputation which each sue
ceeding year has enlarged. Although
it has been published in innumerable
forms and different books and collec-
tions, and has been translated into the
French. German, and other languages,
the poem has never brought its author
any financial remuneration, as is too
often the case. lit raised me-" writes
Mrs. Thorpe, from a shy, obscure
country girl into public notice, and
brings to my side yearly hosts of new
and delightful friends. Wherever | 90
my friends are there before me, and the
poem, which gave to the public with
no right reserved, while it has made a
fortune for others and. dropped golden
coins in other pockets, has reserved for
its author admiring friends" Mrs
Thorpe spends her summers in her ma
tive climate of Michigan, where she
yearly recuperates from the effects of a
Texan winter. The author is sc years
of age, is happily married, and is en-
abled to quietly enjoy the respect and
love of her neighbors and friends, while
| her literary admirers are legion.

Music.
rar of my INV and uriaf

To thee, sweet sharer of my Joy and grief,
Sweet comforter and sOlace of my woe,
To thee I come. If happiness though brief
Mysterious sounds float on the air; they rise
And fall in measure slow, then wild and
clear
Burst on my brain song of Joy; my eyes
Grow DIM with tears; my heart beats fast;
/ hear
In that swift rushing melody the sound
OF wind among the pines-of beating rain
Of roaring waters-thunder crashing sound;
And then, by magic touch, the sweet refrain
OF singing birds, the lowing kline; the air
Is hlld with fragrance and the sun shines
fair.
Thou speakest unto me of Life and Death
OF love and her whom more than life love-
OF things unseen, unheard-the perfum'd
breath
From angel wings, and spirit forms above
My 'wilder'd head, Thou speakest unto me
OF all my charishd dreams, the sad sweet
dreams
That may never know-the face see
Still mlrrord in my soul-the eyes whose
beams
Are not for me-the form shall not clasp
The mem RES of the past, the future dim
OF that which in my life cannot grasp;
or misspent years; of blasted hopes, the
grim
And ghastly skeleton of wasted life
The long, deep sleep which ends all toll and
strife.

James H. Warder, of Nokesville,
Prince William County, Va, contributes
the following: My wife's old turkey
hen was sitting beside the garden fence
on thirteen eggs. About week ago q
large black snake came along and ate
the turkey, curled himself on the eggs
and stayed there until they hatched out,
and then ate the whole brood at once,
tell you he was some snake"

DR.. Munford, proprietor of the Kan

street-car and badly wounded by an in

he was no better than living skeleton,

willing to admit that the hostile attitude
OF the Pacific Mail cuts any material figure
as an opposition to overland rail routes,
claiming that people with money will not
make the trip to New York by water. II
was admitted, however, that there were a
large number of Eastern people in the city
at present who, not calculating upon the
sudden rise in fares. and becoming en-
barrassed In consequence. would grasp
with Joy the steersge proposition made by
the Pacific Mail, which offers them food

CABLE

The reduced tariff for cable business
between this country and Europe went
into operation on the 9Th instant. The
Commercial or Mackay-Bennett Com.
pany, which has two cables, has reduced
its tariff from 40 cents to 25 cents per
word. The Anglo American Company,
which has four cables; the Western
Union Company. which has two cables;
the Direct and the French Companies,
which have each one cable-have all re-
duced from a tariff of 40 cents to II
cents a word. Consequently. the public
may expect that for a few months to
come-or possibly years-there will be
sharp competition, and perhaps yet lower
rates. The Anglo.American, the West
ern Union, the Direct and the French
Companies-four companies with eight
cables-are not only entirely ont OF debt,
but they have a reserve fund of nearly
$1,000, 900. The Mackay-Bennett Com
pany has, we are informed, a bonded in
debtedness of So, O0O, 600. Cable bust
ness should be very lively with these
rates, by which for a comparatively small
sum important messages may be sent
Some p~essimistic persons imagine that
this so-called wal rate must necessarily
be for a short time only, but there is nj
certainty on that point.

Once more the great case of the trade
in infected rags, or in rags reasonably
suspected Of infection, is heard from.
This time a badly frightened New York
doctor discloses his apprehensions. His
fear in regard. to dirty rags is not the
same as the fear of the public. People
generally apprehend that in a cargo Of
rags the cholera may come. But the
doctor is not afraid that the cholera will
come. Perhaps he is afraid it may moi
come; for is not such a visitation the
doctors field of glory? But what this
doctor spprehends is that in signing q
petition against the admission of rags
without disinfection he may be involved
in some scheme Of corruption and job
berry. He is more sensitive than acute,
that doctor.

The current number Of the Nouvelle
Revue Of Paris contains the first batch
of the promised letters by Count
Vasili" on the society of Russia. II
claims to give some extremely interest
ing revelations concerning social affairs
in st. Petersburg, and particularly with
regard to the Imperial family and the
personal characters Of the principal and
representative members OF it. This let
ter represents the Car as a model man
10 private life, and says that he is a
Woodworking ruler and gives an immense
deal OF time and care to the details OF
government. The writer declares, how
ever, that the Car lacks altogether the
power to take a political coup dell, so
that, while intimate with numerous small
things of State consequence, he is unable
to understand broad and statesmanlike
view of his Empire and its interests. In
addition to this he is extremely reserved,
and Is not easy TO talk 70.
The Empress, Count Vasili asserts, ex-
e~rcises very little influence over the

Despite all this, however, he is declared

high at court and in politics are criticised
