"PIanting in the Moon.

WE have on hand two or three letters
asking our opinion about ''planting in
the moon.n So far as experiments
conducted through q series of years 90
to settle anything they settle the fact
that the moon has no pcrceptible in
luence upon the terminating of seed or
on the yield of any crop. Recent cx-
periments made with the electric light,
TO test the effect of continuous daylight
upon plants, 90 to show tina. plants so
treated grow more rapidly than those
exposed to only the ordinary amount of
light. That there is some effect caused
by moonlight, perhaps greater
growth than when there is no moon,-
may be inferred from these expert
ments. If seed be planted in ''the old
of the mOOn,n and it appears above
the surface so that the moon gives it
light during its earlier stages of growth,
perhaps growth may be more rapid
than if it germiuated just at the be-
ginning of ''the dark of the moon;" yet
we doubt greatly whether the differ
ence could be perceived by the naked
eye. An exchange says:
There vas never popular opinion
or prevalent error without some sort of
basis for it; and that which attributes
influence upon vegetable growth to the
moon, while it is a delusion for the
greater part yet has some speck of
truth at the bottom of it. Light is
necessary for vegetable growth, and
the increase in growth is in proportion
to the amount of light. In Northern
regions, where the sun does not set
for several weeks or months, the
growth of vegetation is excessively
rapid, corresponding to the excess of
sunlight, which is without intermission
during the nights. When the moon is
full and the nights are quite light, veg
etable growth will be increased accord
ingly. So far the moon has an effect
upon vegetation, but no further To
suppose that it causes beans to twine
about u pole, or to sprout downward
instead of upward, is an example of the
usual eXaggeration i'm which ignorant
persons often indulge"
The superstition regarding the time
of planting TO conform to the different
phases of the moon has probably no
better foundation than that Friday is
an unlucky day to begin Il journey; or
that breaking mirror pOrtends a
death in the family; or that spilling
salt will bring ON n quarrel, Our adj
vice is; Get your soil in good order,
and then plant--moon or no moon. ---

Indian Rain-Makers.

"Speaking of rain makers among our
people and the Creeks" says the Cher
okee AdUOcdLe, "they had them in all
the tribes. Many years ago we were
returning home from journey, and at
the ford of the Illinois River, seven
miles from town, we found large
gathering of Creek Indians, these that
then lived below Park Hill. They were
in gay attire. Some of our pc ople were
present, who informed us that they had
gathered for the purpose of making it
rain We halted to see what next.
Two elderly men retired a short dis
tance, and they appeared to be num-
bling prayers, we presume conjuring is
the name for it, but after some time a
fire was made on the bank, when these
two conjurers gave an order and a
young man plunged into the river; the
river was very deep, and when he came
up he had q blue catfish in his hand,
which was taken by one of the two old
men and thrown into the fire. There
was profound stiffness while the fish
was being consumed. There was more
mumbling and other strange ceremonies
going on when we resumed our jour.

Couple of Travellers Get Taken IN by a
Tramp.
There arrived in st. Paul yesterday morn
ing two sight seeing Englishmen, who were
doing the blasted country for pleasure
and recreation, q side issue being the coHeo-
ton of few odds and ends of general in
formation. Having travelled all over the
country, they entertained the idea that they
were up to snuff in most things, bat as the
sequel will show their wisdom teeth were cut
for the first time in st. Paul. The method
by which they were taken in is quite as IA
milier to the reading public as an old song,
but for the benefit of those who are willing
to be duped it may be stated as follows:
The names of the parties are John aud
George Wilkinson and about noon yesterday
they sauntered down to the levee to inspect
the great father of waters. In viewing the
mighty stream it occurred to one of the men
that trip down the river in canoe would
be about the thing and they decided to pur-
chase boat and make the journey in easily
stages. The parties didn't have much
ready money and no credit, but they pos
sessed q couple of watches which they de-
cided to pawn until they got to st. Louia,

Several boats were tied to the .levee, and
they accosted couple of tramps who were
Longing around to ascertain where one of
the boats could be purchased. One of the
tramps said he knew the owner and that o
boat could be purchased cheap.
The strangers then explained their tinan-
cial condition and enquired where thsy
could raise loan. The tramp could accom-.
modate them here, and stated that if they
would give him the watches he would take
them to see mine uncle.
They unloosed their silver repeaters, and
handed them to the tramp, when the party
started up Jackson street. On reaching
Montgomery's restaurant, the tramp casual
iy dropped to the rear, and in a twinkling
he bolted into the restaurant, making his
exit through the Third street door, and by
the time the astonished Englishmen had re-
covered their wits, the man wasn't to be
found. AL day yesterday they were looking
