Ginseng Excitcinrnf.

We are thankful there is one locality that has
a home made excitement to relieve the Pike
Peak fever. At St Peters, in Minnesota, there
is ginseng excitement. The Free Press, of
that place, says:
This new branch of business bids fair TO be-
come very important item in this region Of
the State. II is becoming a regular branch of
business aud pays largely-better by fur than
the gold diggins. big Woods are filled with
lit, aud nearly everybody has taken TO digging

went out last week, aud in three hours dug twen.
ty pounds. This at ten cents per pound, gives
'S2 as pay for nine hours labor--a very good re-
turn, surely. IN the neighborhood of Lake
Washington, VIZ learn that men have made as
high as Is 80 per day that even children make
Il dollar day At present, mon, women and
children are digging away. as for dear life
Ginseng is about the only thing talked or
thought of. 1t is the burthen of their songs bv
day, and of their dreams by night We are
crtdlbly informed that there is a capital of at
! least one hundred thousand dollars in this VIZ
entity for the purchase of ginseng"
lt may not generally bo known that ginseng
is an article very Important in a commercial
| point OF view, 1t is "A trade that in Ohio em-
ploys considerable eastern capital. 1t is the
root OF the plant that is used, and this is sent
in large quantities to- China where enters ia to-

with the higher class's. The Chinese are very
superscIouS relative to this plant, which, III
fact possesses very limited virtues but the
" Childreu of the Sun call it "plre spirit OF
the earth and "plant that gives immortality"
Webster says the name ginseng is probably Chi
lnese, and signifies mau's thigh, and in the Iro-
quois language signifies legs or thighs separated

collected with great care by Tarlars in the spring
