Runaway Marrlagos.
The marriage laws in Virginia arc very
strict, a full account of the age, parent's
names, occupations and residence being
requited from both parties before a license
is granted. A clergyman who marries
minors without the parents' consent is
liable to imprisonment and a fine of $20
coo. It is probably owing to these safe
gttirds about marriages that divorces arc
so rare in Virginia, Ucforc the war a
village called Hard-Scrabble, just over the
Pennsylvania line, was a sort of Gretna
Green, and a quondom shoemaker, who
had been chosen justice of the peace,
ofliciatcd as god of love to join the flying
lovers who hide to him to escape the law.
When they weie very younj, however,
the old man often reasoned with them
like a farther, and more than once sent
them home to learn wisdom with age.
On one occasion, when the girl was a
mere child, Quimby, the shoemaker, laid
down his pipe, and fixed his eyes on her
blushing, trembling face. "Marry you?"
taking up two bits of thread. "Yes, I
can marry you as quickly as I can tie this
knot," and the old man rose solemn
ly "only God's hand can cut the knot
asunder. ' For the first time, peihaps,
the awful import of her act flashed uopn
the girl. She burst into tears, and sob
bed cut, "I want my mother!" "I'll take
you to her, my child; and as for you.
young man, go about your business.''
I hey were never married, and to the end
of her life the woman had reason lo thank
the old man for his Interference. The
papers have been filled lately with the
runaway matches of two young gitls, one
Hying from Vassar College, the other
tunning away with a servant. Girls who
have never probably chosen a dress for
themselves, in one rash moment fix inex
orably the fate of their whole future lives.
The only argument they hear in the mat
ter is the good looks of a young fellow of
whom they know really nothing. Girls
to immature and unreasoning ought not
to be trusted to choose their everyday
companions, rj rents are to blame if
these companions lead them into life-long
misery. The Youth's Companion.
Theso nro tho days when first the sen-
uiueiuai apart; nres tno soul ot the small
boy, and with his heart in his mouth
and tremulous footsteps, ho steals to the
front door of his "Lest littlo girl's" pa,
and pulling tho bell, hurriodly hides
himself around tho corner, leaving a
tissuo paper 3Iay basket.and threo cents'
worth of gum drops on tho door as an
earliest of his young but time-enduring
love.

No Intelligent man believes thero la danger
of tlio Short-horna ceasing to bo one of tho
leading and moat valunblo brccda of cat
tlo at lcait not in tho llfo-timo of tho

Judgo ot cattle, howover much ho may prefer
aomo other breed, denlea the very great im
provement mado by tho uau of good Short
horn blood, nnd now it a peculiarly favorablo
timo for commencing or continuing this im
provement, instead of continuing to breed
"acmbi." A good young Short-horn bull,
lit for service this season, can bo bought for
scvciity-fivo dollars. He may not be of
especially fashionablo breeding, nor bo a re
markably tine animal, judged by tho show
ring standard, but for this aum bulla of
breeding really na good as that of many of
tlio fashionablo strains, nnd with aubatantial
individual merits, may be obtained in many
parta of tho country. So, too, good young
heifers or cowa, perhaps a littlo post their

A Mosquito Factory.
A physician corresponding with tho
Scientific American says : For soveral
years past 1" havo noticed in warm
weather that my wooden cistern, which
is nbovo ground, has lieen infested with
peculiar looking littlo ml worms. I
havo heard many others liko mvself
complain of theso worms, and I havo
taken it for cnuitcd that thov wero a
species of earth worm. However, last
Summer I procured a class iar and
ojii iiiim-il mo UOIIOIII 01 u WUJl 11
very small quantity of sand and clay.
I thon half filled tho jar with clear,
fresh water, and, after putting a
dozen of these worms in the jar, I tied a
liieco of cloth over the mouth nnd placed
it iu a light, airy place. Tho worms
wcro from half to three-fourths of an
inch in length, of n bright red color, and
had rather a jointed nppearanco about
body. Thoy would crawl on thobottjm
of tho jar, swim through tho water by n
rapul bending of tho body backward or
forward, and occasionally como to the
suriaco ot tno water and HoaL Within
twenty-four hours after placing them in
the jar I noticed that they had all gone
down to the bottom of that vessel and
had enveloped themselves separately in
sum 01 temporary sneu made ot earth
anu sanil. in a few days after this I
saw ono of these worms crawl out of his
temporary houso at tho botton of tho jar
and swim to tho surfaco of tho water.
Here, after twisting about for a few
seconu, no ruptured a thin membrane
that enveloped his body, and out
came a full-fledged mosquito ready for
business. I noticed many of the other
worms going through tho same lierform-
unco within a short time nfteruar.l
Some of tho mosquitoes wero lmirb
larger than others, but as I have already
stated, somo of tho worms wero also
larger than others.

FrofoHor. Hilgard on Cheat.
l'rofcsaor Hilgard, of tho Department of
Agriculturo of tho Stato Univcreity, in refer
ring to tho articlo on "cheat," that was pub.
lishcd in tho Santa Ilosn Daily Democrat of
.May tilth, contributes the following lcttcrt
llKHKELnr, May 23, 1870.
Kill tor Democrat Your auggestion that
tho "cheat" of California diners materially
from tho cheat or chess of tho K.ist Is perfectly
correct. It is, however, not n now grass,
but simply an old-world weed, imported with
tho seed wheat) ns Is likewiso tho eastern
chess, or "bromiis accalinus." In fact, every
groin growing country, has Its own "cheat,"
vizi aomo species of hardy grass which iu wet
acasous gets tho advantage of tho grain, nnd
partially or wholly ovcrpowors it. Such la, in
fact, tho only general definition that can bo
given of tho word "cheat."
The California "cheat" is simply tho
"bearded darnel" (lohum tcmulcutttin) of
Kuropo, in bad reputo for rtges, ns ono) the
few grosses Biipposcd to bo poisonous; that it
la really so is, however, seriously questioned;
and cxpcricnco in California w hero it Is"
nioro povnlcnt than lu any other wheat-growing
country seems nlmoat conclusive against
this Idea, which may icadily havo arisen from
causes entirely independent of tlio darnel seed,
mixed with tlio grain. Its next kin, tho
Knglish and Italian "rye-grasses," aro among
tlio best "fodder-grosses" known, nnd tho
latter especially is fast coming into favor in
this State. l!ut whilo thero might bo somo
show of reason for contending that tho darnel
nnd tho rye-grasses nro but different forms of
ono nnd thoaamo plant ns thoy nro com
monly mistaken for ono another tbcro is not
tho slightest ahnw of reason to suppose tho
darnel to be 'wild wheat,' or to bo formed out
of wheat by unfavorable seasons. This
belief dates from tlio time when witches wcro
burnt on tho supposition that thuy had caused
such transformations to tako placo; nud was
then prevalent with regard to many other
weeds. Tho appearance of "cheat" among
wheat is simply n caso of tho "survival of tho
fittest" under trying circumstances; for wheat
is readily injured by wet, which, on tlio con
trary, favors tho various wccd-grasios known
aa "cheat." Tho seed of each ono of tho lat
ter "cornea truo" when sown, ns in nny other
plant; and it would bo sad for tho farmer if
nature had adopted such n system of change
lings as Is believed in by thoso who cling to
tho old delusion, according to which nob
only wheat, but each one of tho other cereal
grams may in one season bo changed into each
ono of over a half dozen different grasr.es. In
practico it makes just the dillurcnco between
knowing, on tha one baud, that you can suc
cessfully fight n noxious weed, or, on tho
other, behaving tho appearance, of "cheat" to
be ono of those "mysterious dispensations of
Providence" beforo which wo can ouly fold
our bands. Tho tlmo was, not long since,
when typhoid fover, for instance, was so ac
cepted, nnd swept over wliolo communities,
unchecked, on that score. Wo now know
that it wns our own improvidence, ignoranco,
or disregard of cleanliness and tlio natural
laws of health, that caused and still causes,
audi dispensations; and when thoy now occur,
wo nt onco look for the foul drain, sower gas,
or ill-kept privy, na tlio natural cause of a
natural effect. Tho "cheat question" has
long been oven mora definitely settled by
oxpenenco and experiment; and when tho
farmer finds tho cheat overpowering his grain.
ho may bo euro that ho ia only reaping what
ho has Inadvertantly aown, or allowed to bo
sown; and that ha has only to put his shoul
der to tho wheel in a rational manner, in order
to get rid of it, ns of nny other weed.

Longevity of tho Perctieron-Normaru.
Our attention wna called n few daya ago to-
a statement mado by a correspondent of tho
cstcrn Hum, to tho effect that the Tcrche-
ron-Nonnan horses wero notoriously lacking
iu "constitution," and that thoy wcro con
sequently a short-lived race. Without having;
given this aspect of tho question any especial.
thought, wo had been under tho imprcssioBi
that the horses imported from Franco to this
country had, aa a rule, been remarkable for
longevity; and if this impression ia correct, it
certainly furnishes tho most complete refuta
tion of tho cbargo that they aro lacking in,
"constitution," by which term ia meant that
atructural and organio vitality and vigor
which givca to a great cxtcut immunity from
diseaso, and which enables tho individual to.
successfully resist attacka under which others
lesa favorably organized would auccumb.
Turning to firat volume of tho Perchoron
Norman Stud Book for data upon which to
aatisfy ourself aa to tho facta in tho caso, wo
found that, of tho alx importationa mado to
Ohio prior to 1 SCO, tho average terra of life
had been 24 yearn, with ono atill living. The
earliest oge at which any of them died was la
tho case of llolliu (418 of tho Stud Rook,)
foaled 1S52, imported 1850, who died June,
18C9, aged 17 yeara. Old Louia Napolepo
(No. 281 of tho Stud Book), foaled 1848, im.
ported 1S31, died August 1871, in his 24th
year. All the others lived to be over 24, ani
one, a more, ia yet living," in her 28th year.
. When it iaconaidercd that these French
draft horses are almost universally kept in a .
state cf obesity, peculiarly unfavorable to
health, this showing of longevity ia very re
markable, and apeaks volumea in favor of
their constitutional vigor. It would certaiaii
ly bo mor satisfactory could we have had
larger number of individuala upon which to
Uae our figurea, but the importations)
prerioua to I860 were very few. We have
been able te obtain the dates of birth and
death of only five others in all the Unheal
Statea, besides those above given from Ohio,
imported or foaled prior to I860. Of tbeM
five, one died in hia eleventh, another in hi
twelfth, two in their twenty-firat, and on ia
hia twenty-aecond year. National Live-Stock
Journal, Chicago.
