M. B. HOPKINS.
A Story of Hie Curfew.
The first line of Gray's elegy, "The curlew toll* tlwt knell of parting May," has made the word curfew familiar to every English speaking boy and girl. The word is formed of two French words, cn.ivrc feu or couvrir feu (covered fire), and came into use when William the Norman, the first monarch of England of the present line, made a law that all fires should be extinguished at the sound of the evening bell.
To many hearts in the old country, that cherish its traditions, the curfew recalls a story of love's devotion.
In the time of Cromwell a young soldier, lor some offense, was condemned to die, and the time of his death was fixed at the ringing of the curfew. Naturally stich a doom would be fearful and bitter to one in the years of hope and prime, but to this.unbappy youth death was doubly terrible, since he was soon to have been married to a beautiful young lady whom he had long loved.
The lady, who loved him ardently in return, had used her utmost efforts to avert his fate, pleading with the judges, and even Cromwell himself, but all in vain. In her despair, she tried to bribe the old sexton not to ring the bell, but she found that impossible. The hour drew near for the execution. The preparations were completed. The officers of the law brought forth the prisoner, and waited, while the sun was setting, for the signal from the distant bell tower.
To the wonder of every body it did not ring! Only one human being at that moment knew the reason. The poor girl, half wild at the thought of her lover's peril, had rushed unseen up the winding stairs and climbed the ladders into the belfry loft and seized the tongue of the bell.
The old sexton was at his place prompt to the fatal moment. He threw his weight upon the rope, and the bell, obedient to the practiced hand, reeled and swung to and fro iu the tower. But the brave girl kept her hold, and no sound issued from its metallic lips.
Again and again the sexton drew the rope, but the young heroine held on. Every moment made her position more fearful every sway of the bell's huge weight threatened to fling her through the high tower window, but she would not let go.
At last the sexton went away. Old and deaf, he had not noticed that the curfsw gave no peal. The brave girl descended from the belfry, wounded and trembling. She hurried from the church to the place of execution. Cromwell himself was there, and was just sending to demand why the bell was silent. She saw him— and her brow. Lately white with sickening horror, glos with hope and courage now At hi.* feet she toid her story, showed her hand all bruised and torn, And her face still young and haggard with the ant'iiish it had worn, Touched his neurl with sudden pity, lit his eyes with misty light— "Go, your lover lives," cries Cromwell, "Curfew shall not ring to-night
The Logatisport Pharos learn that Jonathan Shaffer, of White county, a few days ago shipped two car leads of cattle to Chicago, but upon arriving there found the price so low that he concluded to reship, which he did. After getting home, his cattle were attacked with the Texas fever, and fifteen have died and about fifty head are now sick, including a number belonging to an adjoining neighbor. There is a good deal of excitement in and about the neighborhood over the the matter, and it is feared that the whole country will become affected by the disease.

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE SATURDAY EVENING JOURNAL.
The Emigrant.
[From the Situ Francisco News Letter.] The car door opened, there was a rattle and a rustle on the platform outside, and she came stumbling in. At tlk- same instant there came in with her a ruddycheeked, blue eyed boy, whose years were not counted above" ten. Slie* carried in her arms a bundle closely and carefully wrapped, at one end a tiny face appeared, a diminutive copy of her own. Carefully placing this bundle on a seat, she next dragged in a box and basket, and the strong odor of bilge water, such stepped forward and as ever pervades the steerage or betweendecks of the emigrant vessel, announced to the indifferently interested passengers that my fellow passenger was an emigrant.
All this I observed from behind my book, which proved a medium of communication between my fellow passenger and myself. She had been looking at P" the back of the book attentively for some
and
much upon the portion of Bijou you go to." The ice being broken between myself and my fellow passenger she soon fell a victim to a professional American newspaper interviewer, to whom she told her story. "Yes, sir, I am from England. I left there three weeks ago. I observed you reading Dickens, and I took the liberty of speaking to you. Do I admire Dickene? Yes, sir, 1 loved him. I am a relative of his, and have oft times visited him at his place at Gad's Hill. I am from Gloster. Do you know Gloster? It is a dear old town! I expect we will never meet again. We lived just within the shadow of that great cathedral (a sigh). Oh, the dear old town! It is a great old structure, sir. You can read all about it in Uncle Charles' last book, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood.' He describes our town just as it is. We all loved Mr. Dickens. 1 walked many times with him in the grand old structure, for he made our home his home when he came to Gloster. He only lived ten miles away, and frequently came to see us while he was working upon his last book. I observed you reading one of his works, and I made so free as to speak, for
I am—oh! so lonesome and strange here! Did I conic all the way alone? Yes, sir but it was wrong in me to attempt it. I think sometimes I shall give up before I reach my husband. But Charles is quite a man to me. You have no idea, sir, how clever and kind my little son has been to me, both on the voyage and at Halifax, at Baltimore find Cincinnati. How do I like the States did you say Oh, sir, I don't like them at all. I like the State of Cincinnati the best of any I have been in. I stopped at Halifax. It is a dull, cold, miserable place. They kept us three days at Baltimore to discharge cargo. At Cincinnati my baggage, was smashed, and I had to purchase deal boxes to pack in. They charged me a sovereign for them. I was detained one day at St. Louis—a nasty,
gloomy, smoky place, is it not, sir^ At Leavenworth they refused to take my English gold for my hotel bill, and 1 was in great trouble and distress. Did I get my baggage all right? Yes, sir. There is 900 pounds of it. Why did I bring so much, did you say? Why, sir, my husband wrote that he had got a perfect little Eden in Colorado. "Yes, sir, be calls our new home Eden, and I thought I would bring as many of -the old things from home as possible, and I brought a box of tea, a barrel of sugar, several bolts of long cloth, some boots and clothing and at least a hundred different kinds of garden seeds. We will be so happy when I get home. But, sir, (crying) I really think that I will never reach home again. Three weeks of travel all alone has nearly cost me my life. "What is my husband doing in Colorado, did you say? He is sheep farming.
He was a tailor and a gentleman's furnisher in Gloster. We lived in one house nineteen years my father kept the business before I married my husband. We were doing very well and getting rich, but my husband who had been a sailor when a boy, and who was born in Brazil, was always discontented and wanted to travel. In an eyil hour I consented to sell out our business in Gloster. He took £5,000 with him and started for Colorado. His letters which he wrote from Colorado were very'interesting they were printed in our county papers at home. Oh, sir, if you only could know how tired I am of traveling, how lonesome I feel upon these plains so many thousand miles away from home, you would realize how anxious I am to meet my husband."
The sun and the train rolled on westward, and toward evening on the second day out from Kansas City we came in sight of Bijou. My fellow passenger was all bustle and excitement she had been a half dozen times to the glass to adjust her hair and apparel. The beautiful little boy in the Scotch cap, blue jacket and black stockings, had bis golden locks freshly curled, his rosy cheeks washed, and stood upon the car seat looking out of the window—looking for "Father." "Oh, mother, I think I see father," said Charley. "No, mother, it is some one else. Oh, I see a coffin, mother some person is dead. They are taking the coffin out of a wagon, mother. There it is, mother, there we are past it now. Now we shall see father we are home."
The train stopped. The weary travelsoiled niece of Charles Dickens gathered up her parcels and her cloaks and stepped out upon the wild, bleak spot called
Bijou station. The passengers all interested in the talkative and unsophisticated pair of travelers, crowded to the windows to witness the expected meeting between husband and wife. They saw it. While her baggage was being kombled out of the car, she stood with her baby in her arms and her brty by her side gazing around upon the strange scene, and peering eagerly among the rough clad ranch men for the face which alone of all others she wished to see. A rough looking, but polite ranch man

The "White Man's Pat ty." The "white man's party," Democracy, is making a big noise about mixed schools. Here is some sound sense from their last candidate for the Presidency.
In a speech made to the colored people at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., in July, 1S72, Horace Greeley said:
I trust the day is not far distant when their (the black men's) common rights to any public conveyance and in public I meetings and institutions, will be recognized, as they were not recognized of old, and as they are imperfectly recognized still. I hope the time will come when I our educational institutions and seminaries will be open to men of all races, with a freedom, with a hospitality, which has never yet been enjoyed. I trust the time will come when no man's color will exclude him from any church or any religious organization whatever. So, then I say with regard to our common schools, where a rural dinlricl contains but twentyfive or thirty families, it is umply impossible, where two or three of those arc eolored, to have separate schools. And in those cases to say that black children shall not go to school with white children, is to say they shall not have any school whatever.
Grasshoppers in Minnesota. The St. Paul Press says: It is safe to estimate the tilled area in the ravaged district at 275,000 acres, and the area in wheat in that district at 200,000 acres. Of this area probabK not less than 150,000 acres have been destroyed. This represents not less than 2,500,000 bushels of wheat' devoured in the germ or milk by grasshoppers, or about one-twelfth of the wheat crop of the State. Add to this 40,000 acres of oats at 33 bushels to the acre or 1,320,000 bushels in all, or onetweifth of the oat crop of the State 35,000 acres of corn at 32 bushels per acre, or 1,120,000 bushels, or one-twelfth of the corn crop of the State, and perhaps 20,000 acres more in rye, buckwheat, barley, potatoes and other crops, ami the full extent of the grasshopper havoc can be readily estimated.
