Tho orators and poets of the celebra tion at Yorktown overlooked ono of tho ploasantest as well as one of tho most titling thoughts on that occasion. Looking ovor the annals of a hun dred yoars ago, it is striking how tho royal ohnrootor of tho assistance given by Franco to our struggling arms is kept in tho foreground by our ancestry, then taking thoir first lossoys in repub licanism. Evorywltoro tlio foremost blanks and praises are for King Louis. It lias boon said that France demandod the treaty of alliance from "an indif ferent King mid a reluctant Ministry;" but nono the loss through our historio records of this period sound above all -others tho glorifications of "hh most Christian Majesty." When, on tho momoraUe 1-tth of October, 1781, at Yorktown, tlio regi ments of Gatlnols and Deux Touts, win ning ovor tlio German sentries, storm od tho main advancod British redoubt, leaping tlio parapet, and carrying it against a deadly tire, Count (iuiihiumo do Doux l'roits raised tho cry of " Vivo lo roll1' and it was with thin shout through tho French column that tho victory was won. Louis XVI., as a mark of honor for the regiment Oali nois. named it the ' Iloyai Auvorgne." When Washington issued, on tlio day after the surrender, his general order announcing the result, he began it as follows: "The General congratulates the army upon the glorious events of yesterday. 'I he generous proofs which his most Christian Majesty has given of his at tachment to the cause of America must lorco conviction on the minds of the most deceived among the enemy rela tive to the good consequences of the alliance, and inspire every oiti.on of these Slates with sentiments of tlio iii4 unalterable gratitude His lleots, the most numerous and powerful that ever appeared in these seas, etc." Congress, on receiving news of tho groat victory, resolved to sot up a mon ument on the battle Held neglecting it, however, for generations, so that we arc now to build it- on which should be inscribed our obligations to his most Christina Majesty; and accordingly among the inscriptions prepared will be one following the admonition of Con gress to do justice to King Louis. Of course a part of this ascription of praise to the French King was formal and representative a convenient form of phrase. At all events, even that typical and formal method of speech I huh vanished now. No photographs of Louis XVI. were hawked about by tho Yorktown darkies last week. No odes praised his puissant sword. Franco was tho ono word that told all, in the ascriptions of honor, ami it was to France that tho expressions of National gratitude were uttered. Surely the central congratulation for our brethren across the sea is that re publican I' ranee lias celebrated the centenary of Yorktown with republican Antoricft. Our generous ally of an elder day has, in the fullness of time, herself reaped her share from the seed slto sowed with our ancestors. Tlio happy reflection for Americans is that it was the two greatest republics of tlio world that exchanged, on last week's field, tiio memories of an alliance whoso far-roaohinsr results the French throne, in making it, little dreamed of. xY.

Many of tho farm crops Huffer very materially, and not in frequently whole fields of Indian corn arc destroyed by tlio countless thou sands of those dreaded posts. No farmer who has followed the business long enough to he entitled to tho namo, but has had woeful experiences with cut-worms, and has buen fortunate, in deed, if at times ho has not boon com pelled to abandon a field of norn, giving over the whole to I ho greedy wurnis. And then in the garden, who nas not found, morning aftt-r morning, that some miserable pest was cutting oil Ins young cabbages, tomatoes, lettuce, and other plants, which wore unfortunate enough to suit the taste of this m nowise dainty worm. In the flower garden, petiin its, pansies, verbenas, and balsams go down to death before tills destroyer. It is no respecter of rank: the partrician of the llower-border falls, as woll as the plebeian of tho vegetable garden. Hy a littlo foresight wo may very greatly reduce, if not entirely pcvofit, tlio desl ruction by cut-worms. This work of destruction can be bettor un derstood after studying the natural history of cut-worms. Although 1 have thus far spoken of cut-worms as if they were all one species, the fact is, theie are many species having widely dif ferent habits. Some live in the ground and barulj come to the surface to cut oil" the young plant, others come out of the ground, attack tho plants at tho height of an inch or so. while still others climb trees and oat tho tender buds. However, all aro sufficiently alike in general appearance, and trans formations, to be spoken of as a whole in this article. In goneral tho worms mav lie described as smooth, groasy looking, black or blackish worms more or loss mottled 'vith white. When disturbed thoy havo the habit of curling up to one side for a moment, hut they soon try to burrow into tlio ground again. They possess powerful jaws, which thoy use in cutting oft the plants, afterward dragging them partly into their hole, where they feast un molested. After reaching maturity the worms burrow deeply into tlio ground, whore they undergo their transforma tions, finally appearing as a perfect winged insect. 'J his perfect insect is a niirht-Uyin moth or "miller," of nil ashen or oroWnish-grny color. They are given to visiting lighted rooms in tM0 8luumor ,mu''1 to tno disgust of the uuuup.iuis. in uiu inner pari oi me summer tho "millers" lay oggs on or about tho plants which they infest, and then dio. The eggs soon hatch into very small worms, which immediately begin feeding upon the plants about them. During the fall months the young worms oat and grow, and by winter aro about half grown; they then go doopor into the ground, or get under rubbish, and there pass the winter. Upon the rotnrn of warm weather in tho spring, such of tho worms as sur vived tho winter come to tlio surface, and now, having thoir appetites shar pened by thoir long fast, thoy attack whatever comes in their way. If thoy happen to appear in tho clover fields, or tho meadows, we seldom notico any bad results, but if thoy coino to the surface where the ground has been cleared of all plants except the fow pur posely sot thoro, wo are immediately mado aware of tho presence of the enemy through the destruction of our choice plants. Early in the summer the worms atta n thoir full growth, and then burrow deeper into the ground to appear later as a now brood of "mil lers." ami thus the round of lifo goes on, generation alter generation. A numbor of insects are parasitic upon cut-worms, wliilo still others at tack and -novour them. A largo black ground-beetle, marked witlt rows of small copper-colored spots, is very use ful, as its larva, or young, follows tho worms into their burrows and kills them. Ants, also, when sufficiently numorous, kill mnnv of them. Hand picking that is, digging out and kill thoin, is porhaps tho most succossful direct mothod of warring against them. but this is a long, slow process, and bo- sides, wo know whoro to seek thorn only after tho damage lias been done. The method which I havo found to bo the cheapest and most success'ul, is tlio following: As tho young worms food during tlio autiynn upon fall-grow ing plants of various Kinds, it follows that by clearing entirely any piece of ground of weeds and other plants dur ing this timo, tlio worms must stnrvo. In tho garden, then, no part must bo allowed to bocomo woody after tho crops are romovod, for every wood may bo nourishing several cut-worms. As rapidly as crops mature, thoy should bo removed, ami tho stems and rubbish carted to tho compost heap. It may be well to so arrango the rotation of crops that tho crop preceding tlio planting, wliioh is subject to cut-worm doprodations, is ono which can bo ro movod early from tho ground. After removal of tho crop tlio whole ground should bo thoroughly plowed, and if plowed again just boforo frosts sot in, so much the bottor. When it is not pos sible to remove tho crops boforo tho close of tho season, much good can still bo dono by oloaring off tho ground and plowing, for although tho young cut worms aro present in the ground, tlio late plowing will disarrange thoir plans for hibernation, and the groator pArt of them will bo killed by tho frosts and other hardships of tho wintor. On the farm tho same motliods can bo success fully appliod. If a clover-fiold is to bo broken up and planted with corn, tho plowing must bo dono in tho fall if young cut-worms aro abundant. Sum mor .fallowing is a most excellent preparation for crops liable to bo Cut Worms; troubled with cut-worms, provided that the ground be actually fallow; a fallow liola full of weeds is of no avail what ever. In a single sentence, I may say that clean m"urc ami fall nlowiny are tho secrets of success in dealing with cut-worms. I'rof. V. K.

It is not HUrnrisincr to lind thn un learned in things medical unable to understand that brain development, which of course is generally a mat ter of herediu. determines charac ter. Such, however, is, und must needs be. tli fact. Whether the mind is something outside matter which acts through or by the bruin, as a musician may use a musical instrument, or whether, as some think, what we call mind is simply brain function, it should bo manifested on consideration that upon t lie quality and conformation of a man's bra n must, depend his mental capacity; and consequently, also, his characteristics both intellectual and moral. We are not disposed to urge specialties of development as excuses for conduct because, given an average degree of intelligence and fairly strong will power, the individual is clearly re sponsible for his action: but it must not be loi'golten that his instincts of right or wrong, mid the faculty of judgment with which he distinguishes between good and evd, will lie acute or dull in prooortion as his brain is developed. Tho mind is in a largo sense tho char acter of the man, and as directly de pendent on tho physical growth of the bram as tho speed of a race horso is dependent on its muscular develop ment. This is not sulliciently recog nized, and because it is not wo every now and then find sillvrcmarksin print such as the following: "The convolu tions of tho brain may have something to do with tho difference between mediocrity and genius, but at present they are not recognized in the law courts, and it is dillicult to see how they can be;" with such weak and wide moral rolleotions :us that " it would bo scarcely satisfactory to a pick pocket to havo his brain examined, in, order to prove to those ho loft behind that he really could not help being a thief!"
