Wxhave on hand two or three letters asking our opinion about "planting m the moon." So far as experiments ondnotexl through a series ot years go fee settle anything, they settle the fact that the noon has no perceptible influence upon the germinating of seed or an the yield of any crop. Recent experiments made with the electric light, to tost the effect of continuous daylight pon plants, go to show tha', plants so r. anted grow more rapidly than those w posed to only Abe ordinary amount of lfent. That there k some effsot caused y moonlight, -perhaps a grantor grswi uiaa wnon tnore k no moor, ny be inferred from these exneriU set be niantod m "the oM

An exokango says: There va8 nevor a poHdar tdnion or )revahmt error without some sort of Ivasis for it; and that which attributes influence upon vegutable growth, to the moon, while it is a delusion for the greater part, yet lias some sjeek of truth at the bottom of it. Light in necessary for vegutable growth, and the increase in growth is in proiwrtion to the amount of light. In Northern regions, where the sun does not set for several weeks or months, the growth of vegetation iu 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, vegetable growth will be increased accordingly. So far the irioon has an elect upou vegetation, but no further. To suppose that it causes beans to twine about a pole, or to sprout downward instead of upward, is an example of the usual exagitration in which ignorant persons oiten 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 a journey; or that breaking a mirror portends a death in Ute family; or that spilling salt will bring on a quarrel. Our advice is: Get yonr soil in good order, and then plant moon or no moon. (Jor. Chicago Triubne.

The Strawberry's Isscct Enemies. Stkawrkkky plants like plenty of moisture, and if there have been frequent and plentiful showers during the growing season, from May till November, the ptauts of strong-growing varieties, such as Sharnlerw and Monarch of the West, should measure twelve to tiftecu inches across provided the ants and other insects have let them grow in peace. First on the list of thes nests is the "white grubber," as he is called by t la ft Kriio utt ttlint fur laim in wit tun ktumi$ 83 t0 chnhs wittl. . ... He works just below the surface, eating through the main stem of the plant, and killing it entirely. If you should happen to come along about tlte time be has finished that plant, you may easily rind him by stirring the earth with a stick; but if you are a day too late, he is oft to another, and frequently kills half a dozen or more plants before he is captured. As an illustration of the destructivoness of tiicse pests. 1 will give the ex perience ot a nejsrhttor, who, m the foil of 1878 and spriug of 1679, Wanted eight acres of Sbarptees seedling plants. making targe calculations otimanceling; an immense crop of fruit next June; butthe grubs destroyed one-third at least of his plants, and the were drought of lass summer so crippled them that he will not gather as much fruit from hi eight acres as he would from two acres, had all things been propitious. His 60,800 plants He could have sold last spring for over 1,800, a r!--it nmrBlliin tw rati rmliTO frfim Jits I nut this season, alter laboring faithfully all last summer, with three hands betides him&elf. The next pest that we have to contend with here is the ants, and so destructive are they in tlu locality that some growers think of turning" their attention to other pursuits. They honeycomb the ground right under the plants, eat oft the fine roots, and as fast as new ones are put forth they share the same fate, and the plants soon lose their vitality. If the grass and weeds are allowed to grow among the plants, they will not suffer so much, as tlte ants will work among the weeds as well as the strawberry plants; bnt to grow fine fruit the ground must be kept clear of weeds and runners. A third post promises to be raore destructive still. Catawissa has long been noted for its extra tine berries, both in size and quality. I had intended that next year should be my last for growing strawberries in any quantity, as I am getting; too old for the work. I planted 3,000 hills in the fall of 1878 in three different plots, with the ground well prepared ana enriched, with the determination, if possible, to produced A.000 quarts of fruit next season. In one of the patches not a grub molested a plane, and only a few were molested by ante. In another two-thirds of the plant wore very nearly ruined by ante. In the third, which produced some fine fruit last June, as the plants were set the previous August, there appeared about the time the fruit was gathered a small insect resembling the grape-thrip, only one-third its size, or less than one-sixteenth of an inch long. They are perfectly white, and keep on the under side of the leaves that are nearest the ground. The leaves soon turn black and dry up, and the ground under the plant gets foul, as if soot had been thrown there. As fast as the dead leaves were removed, they would collect on the lowest leaves of the plant as before, and soon cause their decay. So numerous were they that they would fill your even and nostrils full when you were cleaning off the plants. Ijgavethema heavy dose of air-slacked lime, but it did not seem to destroy any of them, and the plants were nearly ruined. Before the season was over, I could nee some of them on the other plots on my ground, and on some of my neighborsra mite away, and if they have not been destroyed by the frost they may do as mttch damage this neon. for.

But Mr. ami Mr. Hayes have been sleeping in Samuel J, Tilden's bed at the White House for some three ywirs. That is something nobody else has done. IfoetoH lmt. Republican journals occasionally air their importance by twitting Democrats as to inaction of Congress on providing a more definite manner of counting the Electoral rote, but when the subject is brought forward, they grow nervous and whine about snap judgment. But it does not make the slightest difference, there will le a fair count or a fair fight next time. PiiUburtfk The way in which John Sherman worked to secure delegates from Mis sifsippi is the best illustration of Hayes1 civil service reform that has come recently to hand. Of the delegates to the Convention eight were employes of the Treasury Department, six" wero postmasters and route agents and one was a Federal District Attorney. Such of the Federal employes as were unable to get into the Convention as dele-pites constituted - themselves into a strong Sherman lobby on the outside. The wages received by these Sherman men from the Federal Go-nrnment amount to the sum of j?35,OGO yearlv. ifcwtoN Ghbc. The 1'rents of the Fraud. The fraudulent lVesklunt is enlarging his residence at Fremont, preparatory to removal from Washington next March. He will have occupied the White House four years without the color of honest title, and will have drawn four years salary that rightfully belonged to Mr. Tilden. There is good reason to believe that of the two Hundred thousand dollars received during this term he will carry away from Washington more than one hundred ami sixty thousand dollars in tames and in money. Indeed, persons who ought to Ims well informed, from their opportunities of association and from their knowledge of the footing upon which Haves'' household is conducted, estimate that his savings will aggregate between one hundred and seventy and one hundred and seventy-live thousand dollars. Money hoarding seems to have been, from the very start, the absorbing thought of tlte fraudulent President. His personal meanness is as well known at the capital as tlte personal hypocrisy which is one of the distinguishing traits of the intmder. Never before has such niggardliness been exhibited to the world in the management of the household of the Executive Mansion as has been thrust upou the attention of everybody, resident? and strangers, citizens and diplomats, since the 4th of March, 1377. Not wily has the large pay voted by Congress for becoming hospitality at the White House been pocketed by the occupant, but the contingent fund appropriated to special objects has been diverted to uses never contemplated bv the law. Hayes entered office in the last quarter of the fiscal year of 1876-77, for which six thousand dollars had been granted to his predecessor to cover contingent expenses. One of his first acts was to ask through his Secretary, Rogers, for a larger deficiency titan the whole sum allowed for the year, without giving an item to justify the request. And it' was not until John Sherman had patched up a false estimate that a scandal was prevented which must have involved both Grant and Hayes, but particularly the latter, in an attempt to grab money to which he was not entitled." K. . Skh. The Demecratle Situation In Virginia. We don't expect the leaders of the Re-adjuster faction to act in concert with the Conservative party in the coming Presidential and Congressional canvass. They are already stepped in too far to return, and for them it is safer to go forward and cross over to the other side than to retrace their steps. And we can well afford to let them go. For some years they have not acted with us, and yet we have experienced no loss or ' disadvantage from their defection. In j the last Congressional elections they ran candidates of their own independently in many of the Districts, bnt failed to make any impression upon the Conservative nominees. In this District, as well as in the extreme Southwest, where they gather strongest, we easily defeated them, although they were aided by the entire Radical strength, and we can doit again, if only the Conservative people will remain true to their principles and party; and as there is no question before the people but the simple one of whether liemocratic or Radical ideas shall prevail in the administration of the Federal Government, whether we shall continue to be a Constitutional Republic of sovereign States or a grand centralised Empire, we do not suppose very many real Virginians will halt four in lecidmg how they vote. We will even make a liberal allowance
