Two hundred and thiri.. il ? ly-inree ropnes nave been received from Hpocial correspondents of tho department of agriculture regarding the condition of the crops on August 1, 101 of whom report the weather as favorable and 20 unfavorable.

Thero has been a slight improvement in the condition of cotton during tho month of duly, though 42 correspondents report damage from excessive rainfall, which, in some localities, has caused the plant to shod.

After a drouth there is reason to expect a change of weather upon the so-called full of tho moon or one of its phases, because these phases are only seven and throe-eighths < lays apart, and the farther wo advance in time the nearer we como to tho change or rain, and this time cannot be, at any time, more than three and eleven sixteenths days from a so-called change of the moon Hut there is, in fact, no change more than about tho same as occurs to tho earth, and as the earth does not contract to a narrow crescent and then expand to the globosity of a full orb, so does not the moon. l'lie moon is a globe, approximately, now and always. It is common knowledge that the moon has no light and no heat of its own. No light save that reflected from the sun, and as a full measure of the sun's light grows and vivifies plant and animal life as well, and a total deprivation of that light sicklies both plant and animal, so will every measure between the full power and the entire deprivation differ. The moon then by reflecting more or less light may effect more or less variation in plant or animal life. So much for theory, facts, says Gadgrind are stubborn things. 1 have kept u record of all operations for years on plants, corn, potatoes, etc.; 011 operations on animals, swine, male and female, horses and cattle; on fni.nn biiilfliiwr. ?Ih"? etc., ami as a result find no difference in result no mutter what the phase* apparent, of the moon may lie, and my results nro also fu 1 ly as good as those who mind the moon. Hut to return to tho weather business. The utter nonsense of tho idea that the "moon governs tho weather" is shown from the plain fact that under the power of tho samo moon Texas may have a two-year's drouth, Ceorgiu good seasons, tho South good seasons^ the West, Illinois, etc., parched by drouths, ono neighborhood good and seasonable rains, another settlement not five miles distant not a shower; tho ono rejoicing, tho other disheartened. 1 may add that ono reason why some think that the moon's power is potent, is tho fact] that such rotnember tho coincidences and forget tho failures of the theory to connoct with tho fact. Furthermore, in tho time of a year's or one-half year's drouth tho moon will have apparently had its clmngos at many different times of tho day?thus showing that tho time of tho apparent chango has no controlling influence, but pointing to tho fact that the groat Organizer of the universe has appointed agoncios or powers for tho controlinent of the weather, more substantial than moonlight. Certain districts will be found to be more favored by showers, and others more companioned by drouths. The valleys or land along streams, lakes, woodlands, etc., being favorod, while belts distant twenty miles aro slighted. Tho continuation of the subject would not always lead to a consideration of the results of tbo denudation of forests and of the practice of drainage, but it is nowdry enough to go to work. What I have written is not now, but some nood reminders, as work is often dolay ed for an imaginary influonoe. Ark. * V. A North Carolina Invention. Some time ago Mr. Haylis Cade, of Raleigh, N. C., invented a system for communicating by telegraph with moving railroad trains. His plan is to havo a drag attached to the car to communicate with a wire near the track and running parallel to it. The experiments recently made at Raleigh would seem to demonstrate that the thing is a perfect success, as the results were most } i in Baltimore for tho purpose of tie veloping tho invention and placing , it upon the market. Tho first plac< at which it will bo given a prnctica , business test is on tho road betwoei Bultimoro and Washington which ii to bo equipped for tho pnrposo oi ascertaining whether tho apparatus will work as satisfactorily in prooti cal operation as it has hitherto done experimentally. By this system, collisions between trains equipped with tho apparatus will be an impossibility, as notice ol tho approach of a train on tho same J track will bo given automatically by 11ho instruments. Besides this, there will ho a great actual saving to railroad companies, as with tho advent of the (.'ado sys tein, tho usefulness of, and necessity for, the block skoals will have doparted, as train dispatchers will then 1)0 ablo to oominunicato directly with tho moving trains, thus being kept thoroughly cognizant of I ho exact whereabouts of every train on tho road.
