THE OURFEW BELL.

LIZ is proposed to revive the ancient lnstl-
tuition OF the curfew bell in Canada. The
idea is not bad. The original curfew was a
bell which was rung in medieval cities as q
signal to put out fires after nightfall, the
object being to prevent CONGREGATIONS.
When William of Normandy conquered
England he established the curfew there,
and the English regarded the measure as a
piece OF tyranny. 1t was, however, a
judicious police regulation, especially
when it was used to compel boys and girls
to go home at o'clock. 1t was adopted
in Mexican California and was vigorously
enforced at Monterey sixty years ago,
when that city was the capital of the
State; the bell is still rung at p NJ. at
places in the interior, but its warning voice
is not always needed.
In olden time, boys and girls were adj
monished to go home at for fear of
ghosts. which, as Shakespeare tells us,
begin to walk at curfew and 'walk till the
first cock" We are not as much afraid OF
ghosts as we once were, but now as in the
old days the night is the season for all
manner of wicxedness, and it is a season
when young people ought to be at home.
The devil is known to be afraid of day
light; it is when the shades OF night en-
velop the world in darkness that he comes
forth, swinging his tail, and seeking what
he may deyour. Three-fourths of the
crimes which are debited to the account of
minors in the Book of Fate are committed
at night.
The day is long enough for all the work
young people have to do. If they rise at 6,
as they should, and go to bed at 8, the
period allowed for sleep is nine hours,
which is none too many for growing boy
or girl who desires to keep we'll Those
who are content with less do not ripen
vigorously; the waste of their systems is
not fully repaired by rest; and the nervous
machine has not time to recover from the
labor OF the preceding day. A man in the
full vigor of health, with all his organs
well developed and correct habits, may get
along with seven hours but those who
have not reached adult age will find that
short allowance stints the body.
Public opinion is so firmly hostile to any
thing which smacks of sumptuary legisla-
ton that proposition to restore the curfew
in this country would not be met with
favor. 1t is thought that parents are
the best judges when their children should
come off the streets. But the old curfew
had its merits,

A PIONEERS ILL FORTUNE.

The death of Charles Edward Christian Russ
produced a feeling of profound sorrow in the
breasts of the gray-haired men who gathered
at the hall of the pioneers. 1t was as the sun
deripg of one OF the few links still remaining
in that rapidly shortening chain that unites
the past and the present.
The Society of Pioneers aims to procure and
publish all the facts concerning its deceased
members that can be ascertained, for it may be
truly said that the biographies of the men who
have helped TO form the community in fact
constitute the real history OF the State.
Charles Russ was born in Hildburghausen,
Saxe-Meiningen, Germany, in 1928. He immi-
grated with his fathers family to New York in
1884. Upon the breaking out of the war with
Mexico, and the formation of the First Regi-
ment of New York Volunteers, popularity
known as ssStevenson's Regiment" he, with
his father and his TWO brothers, Adolph G. Russ
and Augustus Philip Russ, joined that COM
mand. They were all in the best OF vigorous
manhood and ambitious to reach California.
The regiment was recruited with the ex-
press understanding that it was for service in
California, and that upon the termination of
the war they would be discharged in Califor-
