The GINSENG ExcIrEMENr.-The business
of digging Ginseng, in Minnesota, continues to
encits thousands to industry in gathering it.
The employment is better than wildcat bank
ing Chicago Journal thus explains what is
done with the precious drug after the Ameri-
cans get rid Of It:
THE Chinese are very superstitious relative to
this root which in fact possesses very limited vir
tues but the "Children of the Sun " callit "pure
spirit Of the EARTH" and 'plant that gives immor-
tality:" Webster's dictionary says the name GIN
sENG is probably Chinese, and signifies a mans
thigh, and in the Iroquis language signifies legs
or thighs separated. 1t is said to be native of
Tartary, and is collected with great by Tartars
in the spring and autumn and is so rare as to bring
that the Emperor Of China once employed 10, 600
Tartars in procuring this root. 1t is within forty
years that the ginseng trade between America and
China has grown up. In 1926 there were sent
from the United States to China l5S 455 pounds of
ginseng, valued at $1O2, ,073."
About thirty or forty persons came up on
the Milwaukee on Friday evening, bound for
the Minnesota Valley to dig ginseng. They
were prepared with hoe and sack. 1t is bare
ly possible that this ginseng business may be
overdone and some get bit in tie trade. Look
sharp!
The following parody on Excelsior is
now appropriate to St. Peter, Farribault,
North6eld, &C.:
A traveller, passing by the place,
Reports that all the vacant space
Is packed with the gigantic weed!
The youth, with unabated speed
Digs Genseng!
There through the lvelong summer day
IT'S dug, and washed, and piled away
But, whether clarified or dry,
Celestias will forever cry
Dig Ginseng!

AN EXCURSION PARTY OF CINcINNATfANs.
The Steamer Itasca brought to our City on
Saturday evening whole party of Excursion
lists from Cincinnati, numbering about thirty
persons. They had came to Chicago on the
grand Railroad Excursion last week, and from
there thought they would take jaunt up to
see the Queen City of the North West. The
party comprises some of the we'll known citi-
zens of Cincinnati, several Of whom we are
happy to reckon among our personal friends.
The party staid aboard the Itasca yesterday,
but will visit the Falls, the Fort, and other
places of interest this morning. A hearty
welcome to them, ard may the many ties that
already bind the Queen Cities of Ohio and the
North West be multiplied and strengthened.
The following are the names of few of
the party: VIM. F. Thorn and Lady, VIM.
Hart and Daughter, Jno. Gates and Lady, L.
F. Shaw and Lady, T. F. Barker and Lady,

About that Frost,


The Rev. w. A. Van Doren, of College
Hill O., preached sermon on the late des-
tructive frost. He said
:! Our nation but few evenings since
were all unconscious of message which our
Sovereign Head sent to us in our sins. We
slept well in our guilt, as though all was
right. But he saw that even the cruel was
of other nations, instead of humbling our
people in the dust and in prayer that God
would hush the tumult, and teach brother
kingdoms to love one another, had whetted
the appetite of our covetousness! We cody
counted the gain resulting from the famine
and neglect Of planting of the nations engag.
ed in butchering one another: On the broad
wings of sovereign power and vengeance the
angel passed. He breathed on our fields, and
the blast of death, in one single night sank
millions of treasures, and laid countless hopes
in the dust and despair"

ANOTHER ITEM OF IMMIGRATIoN.-We are
never tired mentioning facts about immi-
grafton, which, as we have before noted, is
increasing every day. Awhole caravan came
over the bridge yesterday, bound for the rich
country on Crow River, in the Glencoe region
There were several wagons full of "plunder,"
agricultural implements, &C., while one was
crowded like an omnibus on rainy day, with
a large assortment of juveniles of both sexes,
and all apparently of about one age. A drove
of milch cows, a lot of fine sheep, &C., made
up the cavalcade, which was managed by
several hardy looking men-good material for
frontier life and the right sort of immigrants
to welcome to this country just now. They
wont stop to croak, but will "pitch ina
thing We advise all classes to 90.
The immigrants we are getting now, are
material aids to the salvation of this State, and
we rejoice to know that the country is being
rapidly settled up by them. They are not of
that class who hang around cities and swell
the votes so much, but develope the resources
of the country. Many of the immigrants who
arrive here are fresh from Europe, and started
with Minnesota for their destination. We
see in the street every day the costumes of
Central Europe, which will ere long become
the usual garb of the frontiersman, while all
national tynns will hn Loo :.; tl.at Scueral one
of "the western man."
