THE PROPOSAL

To Present Hon. Thos. =. Bayard With
Testimonial by the English People with
drawn at His Request
LONDON, Dec. lion. Thomas L.
Bayard, the American ambassador, has
written a letter to the Daily Telegraph
anent that journals proposal to take
up public subscription for the pur-
pose of purchasing him Il national
Christmas gift as 2 token Of the esteem
of the British people. The letter,
which is dated December 5, says in
part:
early Sunday morning l telegraph
ed you not to proceed further with
your kind and generous proposal for q
testimonial to me from the people OF
this country in token of their appre-
citation of my efforts to establish be-
the two great English speaking coun-
tries relations of harmony and good
will"
Mr.. Bayard then proceeds to say
that he was touched and gratifed by
the proposal and the Tclegraphs gem
erous eulogy of him, but that few
hours reelection showed him that,
holding his present Office and invested
with its discretion and duties, he should
scrupulously obey the spirit of his
country's law, which prohibits anyone
holding an Office of trust or profit un-
der the American government from ac-
cepting without the consent of con-
gress any present from any king,
prince or government"
He further says: "While 1 live
shall not cease to thank the people of
these islands for the whole hearted,
unstinted welcome have received at
their hands and the warm hospitali-
ties that have been showered on me
and mine"
The Telegraph in leader will Mon
day announce the withdrawal of its
proposal. 1t will say there is no need
TO inquire whether any high official
authority influenced Mr.. Bayard to
decline the proposed gift, The recep-
tion of the proposal has show how sin
cere is the good will of the English ma
tion towards him.

The CurIeW Bell.

People are often heard to wish for
,the good old times, but it is scarcely
likely that anybody-young people
especially-would care about one fea-
ture of bygone days, the curfew bell
1t was introduced into England by
William the Conqueror. He ordered,
under severe penalties, that, at the
ringing of the curfew bell at eight
o'clock at night the people should
extinguish their fires and lights and
retire to rest
In some of the towns in the province
of Ontario, Canada the curfew is still
rung at eight or nine o'clock nightly.
1t no longer means flights out" but is
simply a summons to little boys and
girls to take themselves OF the streets
to the shelter of the domestic roof
This custom is being introduced in Il
few small cities IN this country and it
seems strange that it is not looked
upon as an cucroachment on the priva.e
right Of tine head of the family TO
order the affairs OF his own household

Death of Judge NIailon,
DECEMBER MAGAZINES.
cAMrA1GNISo WITH GRANT.

AS the general felt that he could be
found more readily, and could issue his
orders more promptly, from the point
which he had chosen Tor his headQuar-
ters, he remained almost the entire day
He would at times walk slowly up
and down, but most of the day he sat
upon the stump Of tree, or on the
ground, with his back leaning against
tree. The thread gloves remained on
his hands, lighted cigar was IN his
month almost constantly, and his pen
knife was kept in active use whiting
sticks. He would pick up one small
twig after another, and sometimes hold
ing the small end away from himwould
rapidly shave it down to Il point; at
other times he would turn the point
toward him and work on it Is if sharp
ening tead-pencil: then he would
girdle it, cut il in two, throw it away
and begin on another. We had long
been accused Of being a nation of whit
tiers and this practice on the part of
such IL conspicuous representative
merican seemed to give color TO the
charge. He seldom INDUCED in this
habit in ubsequent battles.
The occupation played sad havoc with
the thread gloves, and before nightfall
from which his finger nails protruded.
After that day the gloves disappeased,
and the general thereafter went with
out them in camp, and wore the usual
buckskin gauntlets when on horse back.
1t was not tilluthe AppomattoX cam
palgn that another pair of gloves was
donned. There was mystery about the
use of those which was never entirely
solved. The impression was that Mrs.
Grant had purchased them. and handed
them to the general before he started
from Washington, and that, either in
Difference to her, or because he had
notion that the officers in the Eastern
armies were greater sticklers for dress
than those in the armies of the West,
he wore the gloves continuously for
the first three days of his opening cam
paign in Virginia; that is to say, as
long as they lasted under the wear and
tear to which he subjected them.-De-
cember Century.
