The tenor of the reports from the cotton
growing States on the condition of their great
staple, says the Philadelphia Record, is most
encouraging. Taken in connection with the
bountiful wheat harvest which seems assured
throughout the West and Northwest, this
looks as if the year 1879 was to be productive
ofpleasant memories for farmers and planters.
A good foreign market for grain and textiles
is certain From present appearances the
current of European gold setting America
ward will broaden and deepen as the months
go on. Good crops and good prices among
the agriculturists are the basis of genuine
prosperity in any country. The outlook is
peculiarly favorable for us.

Weather SuperstitiOns.

g Mr.. EDITOR; always admire the writing of
your very clever and efficient correspondent G..
u. Curtiss, and therefore read with interest his
remarks upon weather Superstitions" Now,
while agree with Mr.. Curtiss mainly, yet there
are some points in this question not brought out,
which think would interest and instruct many
of the readers of The 4EgiS who have not investf-
gated those axioms, supersttions II you please.
There Is no political blaze sweeping the minds of
the people yet, and just now should like to read
discussion of this subject and will there
fore open the question again, and respectfully re-
fer il to Mr. Curtiss.
Following his Meteorological Report for June,
Mr.: Curtiss says: MANY people wait patiently for
change of moon to affect the weather favorably
and have faith that it will rain when the moon
changes. The moon gradually approaches a GER
tain point relatively to the earth and sun day by
day 1t nears point where it will be exactly be-
tween the sun and the earth Why should 1t af-
feet the weather only when it is at that point?"
Now, Mr.. Curtiss will admit that the sun and the
moon each have their attractions upon the earth;
that the attraction of the moon is greater than
that of the sun is proven by the rise and fall of
the tides; and that they each have attractions Is
set forth by the fact that when they are both
upon the meridian their joint attractions cause u
greater rise in the tides. And if the moon rules
the tide, may 1t not also affect the atmosphere
around the earth, and in such a way us to produce
conditions favorable to rain? Again, does not
reason teach us that the attraction of the moon
upon the earth is through the medium of the at
mosphere, rather than aerial tides?

ment was made that sufficient amount had
been contributed by the members to enable the

that place. The horse is described as bright
bay, sixteen hands high. The buggy was a
piano box, made by Gurther u Co., the harness
being silvermounted. Twenty-Five dollars re-
ward are offered for their recovery. The region
of country named seems to be infested with
horse thieves The impression prevails here
that the horses and buggies stolen from there
are taken either to the Delaware peninsula or into
the mountains of Pennsylvania. When they are
brought through Bel Air they are almost inyar-
iably captured.

because not one Of them is ever named for
office and not a cent of the money they pay
