At the South early marriages are quite
common. A New Orleans letter-writer
relates the circumstances Of runaway
match, where the bride was but ten years
of age. Her father applied to the courts
to get her marriage annulled. The judge
decided that it was null, and that the par
ties could not live together; but he added
that if the girl was willing to wait until she
arrived at the age Of twelve, she could then
claim her husband. This was comforting
the damsel waited as patiently as she
could, until the clock announced her d dog

lover and husband, who had kept himself
sunspotted from the world" in the mean

OCEAN TELEGRAPH.--r The following from
the Washington Star, would lead US to be-
lieye that the gigantic scheme of directly con-
Meeting Europe and America by telegraph will
yet be realized;
1t may not be generally known that Prof.
Morse, the distinguished American telegraph
patentee, has for some time been pursuing
Investigations with the view to the adoption of
his patent for a telegraph between Europe and
America. In the course of this labor he has
taken occasion to address Professor Lieut.. Z.
S. NJ Maury, to ascertain whether, all other
difficulties being overcome, the bottom of the
ocean, which the Professor has sounded in
direct lines across (between the two continents,)
were not Of such nature as to render it prob
able that the communication could not thus be
maintained. We hear that in reply, Mr.
Maury SAYS that between the north point of
Newfoundland and the south point of Ireland,
where the distance across is shortest some
1000 miles Only--the bottom is in all respects
perfectly regular plateau, as though 6esgned
for the successful laying down Of such work
He adds that there is no current there what
ever, the water on the bottom being always
still and further, that the apparatus, if laid
down on that line, will rest on very fne
shelly matter, which cannot abrade it Injurious
lv. In fact, that So far as those elements in
the success of tie enterprise are concerned.
Prof Morse will find there all be can desire
Such, we hear, is the substance of what Lieut..
Maury has written upon the project.

ANECDoTE OF ARAGo.-The following anec-
dote, taken from review of the life and dis
coveries of the illustrious Arago, may serve to
illustrate the truth that courage, however in
nate, depends, after all very much upon fa-
miliarity with the s.tuai IN which tries it:
When the construction and safety of steam
boilers had become objects of national impor-
tance, Arago and Dulong were in 1920 en-
ployed by the Government to make expert
ments on the subject and they drew up tables
exhibiting the elastic forces ofsteam at different
temperatures. This task, which was executed
with much ability, was as dangerous as it was
difficult. The bursting of boilers, to which
they were constantly exposed, and that, too, in
limited locality, was more hazardous tlan
that of shells in field Of battle, and while
military officers who assisted them--men of
tried courage-grcw pale and fed from the
scene, the two sayans went on coolly making
their calculations and observing the tempera
ture and pressure with boilers every moment
on the point ofexplosion. H-- t-

These have been known for years, and
leads extending into Missouri immediate

success for the last few years. The

Maj. Ogden, U. s.eA. has shown US some
fine specimens Of gypsum discovered on

talline masses and easily splits into thin
plates which are transparent. This is the
Selenite of naturalists. Another was of the
white, ine-grained, translucent class,

resented as having been found high up on

From the Montrose Democrat
The appointment of Andrew H. Reeder,

his life and health will be spared to return

charged the duties of organizing the gov
eminent of that territory In accordance with
the spirit of the age, and the pure princi-
pies of American Democracy.

F.om the Lycoming Gazette.
A. H. Reeder, Esq, is specimen of the

Pennsylvania may well be proud. His ap-
pointment is renewed evidence Of the
high trust placed by the general administra-

and progressive democrat could not have
been selected within our borders, nor could
any man have been found that will more
assiduously devote to the duties of his ap-
pointment the weight OF his unshacliled en-
ergies and high attainments.

From the SN2sS5aUsch Islands.
Honolulu papers to the 29th of July have
been received at San Francisco.
There is nothing in them on the subject of
the negotiations relative to the annexation
OF the Islands, OF which so many reports
have been rife. The San Francisco Herald
however, remarks:
The most notable event of the fortnight
is the receipt ofintelligence here ola propo-
sition on the part OF the Hawaiian Govern
ment for the annexation of the Sandwich
Islands to the United States. Nothing has
transpired relative to the terms of the treaty
Of cession which goes by the steamers OF
to-day to Washington, Tut enough is known
to establish the fact that they are advanta-
geous In the extreme, and will be readily ac-
ceded to by the General Government.
ALI the members of the Hawaiian Privy
Council, with the exception of two, are in
favor of the annexation, and the old King
himself, anxious to be divested of the cares
of r1nsubstantial royalty, is one of the chief
promoters of the measure. The heir ap-
parent, however, is svery unwilling to see
the sceptre pass from his illustrious house,
and by no means relishes the idea of being
reducedto the level of a plain American
citizen.
The Alta California says:
We are now assured, through the medi-
ttln of one who is behind the scene in the
Sandwich Islands, that it is a positive fact
that the Restless brought here on its way
to Washington for acceptance, a deed ol
cession of the dominions of King Kameha-
meha. This is certainly the most impor-
tant piece of news we have received since
the report of the Japan Treaty and we have
no doubt that the information is perfectly
correct. What the terms of the cessior
are, have not of course transpired, but we
presume they are of a favorable character
