The Cnrfew.

As in Old England, so in New Eng
land is the curfcw still heard. In Boston
the nine O'Clock bell was rung from time
immemorial up to within q very few
years. So, also, at eight O'Clock In the
morning and one o'clock in the after
noon. Many Bostonians regretfully miss
this good old custom; old, as - wit
messed By Joseph Josselyn, who visited
Boston in 1868, and in his description
saws: ssOn the South there is a small but
pleasant Common, where the gallants, a
little before sunset, walk with their
marmalct madams, as we do IN Moors-
field, etc, till the nine o'clock bell rings
them home to their respective habita-
tions, when presently the constabies
walk their rounds to see good order kept
and take up loose people
In many o. orr towns the curfew still
rings out ocr hill and dale. In South
America il is called the "Stay-bell"-
tooue de Ia queda-and after twas rung,
at ten O'Clock, the use Of the streets was
forbidden by municipal ordinances to
the inhabitants Of Quito aud other Peru
Wan towns.-Nem Eagland AogaSanA

a sudden scattering of the group. The
gun had been recharged- and Sampson
vas on his knees sighting 1t for q third
messenger of death when Signal Ohcei'
Leonard exclaimed: 'sThac shot killed
General Polk"
What" exclaimed several, bishop
Polk killed.
Yes" was Leonard's answer; ''they1
are signaling it over the mountains"
What's that2' exclaimed Sampson,
still on his knees sighting the gun.
Captain Leonard told him the news.
For a moment SIMPSONS head dropped
: forward and his hands rested ON the
breech of the piece. Then looking Nj
he remkared .'Tbank God! They killed
my brother the other day-only a Lieu
tenant. I have killed a Lieutenant
General"
The third shot was not fired, Sampson
rising and %remounting his horse. All OF
our party were visibly affected by the
incident, no one more so than Genera
Howard, who, after recovering from the
effects Of the news, solemnly remarked
Bishop Polk killed. Then we have
killed a Christian gentleman"
Shortly after the signal officer reported
that the enemy was ev~acuating the
mountain, and an advance was ordered.
l went up the mountain with the first
troops to the spo. where the Confederate
group had been stationed, and there
found . fallcl tree. about thirty feet
long, before which Bishop Polk aad his
associates had stool, and upon which
their staff officers had been seated. On
the fallen timber / found what colorel
guides told us was the blood of General
Polk.
Thus did General Polk fall at Pine
Mountain. Neither Thomas nor Shcr.
man was near us at the time, as they did
not reach the front until later.

There's a good deal of
guarantee business in the store
keeping of to-day. It's too
excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means moth
ing. Words -mly a0oraS.
This offer to refund the
money, or to pay a reward, is
made under the hope that you
won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the
reward. Oh course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works-not on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some
thing he has faith in back of
the guarantee. The business
wouldn't stand a year: with
out it.
What is lacking is conf
dence. Back of that, what is
lacking is that clear honesty
which is above the average
practice.'
Dr.. Pierce's medicines are
guaranteed to accomplish what
they are intended to do, and
their makers give the money
back if the result isn't APP
parent.
Doesn't it strike you that
a medicine (which the makers
have so much confidence in,
is the medicine for you?

Queer Facts About Beavers.

James Sherman, of Clifton, who
is trapping beaver at Knappa,
was telling recently some queer
things about beaver-trapping. The ami
NAL, he says, has the most acute sense of
smell of any animal that exists. In set
ting the traps you must wait till low
water, in order to have the tide when it
comes in to obliterate all traces of your
presence. When a beaver is caught in a
trap the other beavers at once enable
him to make good his escape by Selling
him by the tail and hauling him away
until they release him, often leaving the
limb in the trap as an evidence of the
struggle that ensued. He caught a beaver
last winter on Puget Island, and said
that it had only two toes on a hind foot,
the other three legs being %amputated as
close to the body as if the limbs had
never existed.
Mr.. Sherman says there is one faculty
the beaver possesses that would be a pro-
ftable and interesting study for scientific.
men, and that is tbs power of making
objects adhere to the bottom of a stream
without any apparent means of securing
them. The beaver lives mostly on wood,
which it cuts and deposits on the bottom,
where it remains, contrary to the natural
laws, which would in ordinary cases
cause the wood to rise to the surface.
How this is accomplished it is difficult
to decide, but it is nevertheless a fact,
as Mr.. Sherman assures us that he tried
it time and again. Beaver-trapping pays
we'll where any considerable number can
be caught, the average price of the fuEs
being from S3.5 0 to IS. 90 per pound
