" A DIFFERENCE.
Eugene Guard:
It makes a difference. General Law
ton was shot and killed but of a yes
terday, and already congress Is passing
a pension bill for his widow. In 1S55-6
a few hundred devoted men furnished
their arms and accoutrements' and
brought the bloody-thi-sty Indians of
Southern Oregon to a finish. Some lives
were Jost, others received wounds one
of whom was buried in this county
yesterday. '
This grateful government that pen
sions, the general's widow before the
body has been consigned to its native
earth has persistently neglected to do
justice to the men who not only fougnt
the Indians, but paid their own way
while so doing. There is no dispute
about the facts In the case. But, the
Indian war veterans are few; their
votes do not count for much, and they
have little political influence. They are
neglected.,

GOOD INCOME , SECURED BY A
NEW .YORK HOUSEKEEPER.
The story of the visiting house
keeper gets Into the papers once In a
while, but no one reaily knows wheth
er there Isn't a good deal of romance
about it. But there .really are such
people, and they do a ve.ry goovj work,
and ijyork ;that Is appreciated. . One
woman has two families for which
she keeps house. There are among
the wealthiest in New York. ad she
gives them "her entire attention and t
has not time for anything else. She
'receives 1150 a month from each fam-. i
ily, so that she makes a good f Income.
She is hot. paid for nothing,, howev
er. People seldom are. Her business .
necessitates the ' exact knowledge of
how a large establishment should be '
conducted, and she is very Jhorough j
and up to date. The problem' of a'
housekeeper in families of wealth hss
been as great as that of the general
domestic in families of small means.
There are not many really good house
keepers and the "reduced gentlewom
an," If she knows -the business, Is not
always! willing to take the housaJJP
er's position.- The reduced genue
woman has not yet learned to take
herself common sensibly. But with
the visiting housekeeper there Is no
trouble on either side, the mistress of
the house and the housekeeper are
equally independent, and the arrange
ment seems to be ideal.
There are three othr wealthy fami
lies In New York three sisters-who
have solved the, problem of the house
keeper by importing the genuine Eng
lish article, the woman who takes prl de
in her ' position. Is absolutely mistress
In her own sphere, and has her own
suite of apartments and Is a strong
hold Hi which entire confidence can be
placed. There are some ether visiting
housekeepers who have more 'families
on their hands," these being smaller
households, and for this work they re
ceive good, hut not so large, salaries.
OlilGIN OF THE CURFEW.
Its Use Gradually Abandoned Because
of Modern Improvements.
-Curfewr Is a corruption ot cou-re
feu. which means "cover the fire."
The curfew was rung to protect lire
and property 'In a time when houses
wer mostly built of wood, and there
were no engines, as now, to extinguish
a conflagration, and ho water was
We immediately (obtained. It was ai
useful artd necesary regulation In lts;
day. when barbarity characterized the
times, and it was doubtless very rigor- J
ously enforced. v
' The custom was prevalent In many
European countries, and old . authors
Indicate that curfew was known In
England before the Sforman Invasion
(106), stI It was continued for 00
years after the Conqueror died. The
practice of ringing the boll at o'clock
at night was observed for many years
in New England villages, as elsewhere,
but as town clocks and other time
keepers became generally used, and s
there no longer existed the necessity
for enforcing the custom. It has ceased.
