The Curfew Tolls Again In the

OF all the returns to ancient u.s.
ages, the queerest IS the revival

the bells are rung in some towns
at 9 aud in others at 10 O'CLOCK,
and after them all children must
be home, and no boy or girl is free
from arrest. Even the parents
favor their being locked up II they
disobey. All the townSin Minnesota
except the two largest cities, have
adopted it, and the practice has
spread through South Dakota. In
some of the towns and cities the
the church bells are rung at the
curfew hour, and IN all of them the
town-belI, either IN the nre'tower
or the town hall, rings out the
command for the police to clear
the streets OF children. IL has be-
come such q question that in some

NO MORE OLD AGE.

tiOn merits.
The microbe he has discovered
is not only found alone in the
blood of aged people, but if 1t is in
jected into the veins of a young
person it produces at once all the
physical manifestations OF senility.
But DR.. Brisson goes a good
way further and declares that the
Injection of certain serum, whi ID
he has also found, destroys these
microbes IN the blood of an aged
person, and that, barring accidents
and disease, a man may live in-
definitely so long as the microbes
can be destroyed In the blood.
1t may therefore be possible that
we are on the borders of another
Methuselan age, and it is probable
that the reason for the remarkable
longevity of patriarchs In Old
Testament times may be due to the
fact that the 'OId-age microbe' had
not been developed, and so

IN AN OLD GARDEN.

Here, where summer laid her hand,
Lovelike, and idly kissed,
Like 8 sudden fash of fame
Red of royal roses came,
And the trellised walks were spauned
with trailing golden mist.
Peaches mellow TO tie sun,
Buzzed about In torrid moons,
Cherries plump their shining coats
For behOOf Of singing throats,
And through light and shade there spur
Memories of hundred Junes.
Little trllls of music break
From retreats of mellow shade,
And the ripple of the trees,
Like the lapse and lave of seas,
Makes the brlmmlDg senses ache
with delight Of all things made,
Very summer hath her neat
10 this air that perfumes throngs:
Blossoms to the heart uncurled,
BOund the gardens sunny world
Naught save ancient peace and rest,
Here, where silence matches song.

duty here will be transferred to other
quarters.
Mai. c. +. L. Il. Davis, in charge of the
Potomac River improvements and river
and harbor work in Virginia and the Caro-
linas, will to-day be relieved OF all duties
except those pertaining especially to the
improvement of the Potomac at Washing

of the charge of the aqueduct at this point.
Mai. Knight will be placed in charge of the
School of Engineers, at Willett's Point,

Maj Davis s,will be in general charge and
responsible for the work of the Washington
aqueduct, but Lieut. d. d. Gaillard, Corps
of Engineers, will have personal super
vision of the work. Lieut.. Gaillard has
been on duty with the Mexican boundary
commission, and will report in Washing
ton the 10th instant.
The Mexican boundary commission meets
in this city October IL, and the lieutenant
will continue his duties with the commits
sion as long as he is not required to leave
Washington. Il is thought that the work
of the American members OF the commits
sion can be readily completed now in this
city.
The last bit of Washington work to be
done by Maj. Knight, for the present at
least, is to submit his report to Congress
on the Lydecker tunnel, which he was ap-
pointed to inspect. This report will be
placed in the hands of the chief of en-
gineers about the 1st of next month, and
