over Mother Earth. In some Of the
cities Of the West the Curfew is now
tollcd nightly. and the disposition
upon the part Of the citizens Of some
other localities more castcrly, and
even in a suutherly direction, appear
to be to have laws enacted covering
the same grounds within their own
respective municipalities. In Buffalo,

similar measure adopted there they
have in some of the Western cities,
and it was only defeated upon very
close vote. In Shreveport, La, and in
Mobile, Ala, there is evident desire
to put On foot a movement Of the same
kind. These facts show that the
movement is growing, and there is no
telling what proportions it may
eventually assume.
The South is somewhat slow to
'catch onto any innovations that
would seem TO be an aOridgement Of
private rights, which the "curfcw"
most aSsuredly is, although not mis-
directed, because it is intended in the
interest Of the wellbeing and welfare
Of the youth Of the section and in the
cause Of morality and virtue; but it
would not be at all surprising to us il
the sentiment should extend in this
direction to such an extent that the
curfcw would be heard rung in very
many Southern cities in the course Of
the next few years. In NatchCz we
have heard nothing said Of the mat

that if we had some such law in opera

young people who are permitted TO

company, and the seeds Of corruption
thus planted are sure to bear their
fruits in later years.
