THE FARMERS PROSPECTS.

The Northwest Miller which is authority
on futures and present crop outlooks in
speaking of the. French prospect says:
-'In the first place the area sown is at
least $500, 900 less than last year, which
taken at the average yield of eighteen
. bushels per acre, means 45, 900 900 BUSH
els, with regard to the area damaged by
frost and replowed it is still estimated
to be at least one fourth, or say 4,500, 900
acres. 1t remains to be seen what
amount of this will be resown with
sprihg wheat, but in any case, the con-
dition of the plant where it has not had
to be replowed is so unfavorable that
even the most optimistic authorities
look for a further loss on this account, of
5O,O00,000 bushels compared with last
year. So that, altogether we may look
for a crop go, 600 900 to 95 ,OOO, 900 bushels
short of last years which was officially
announced at 336, ,OO0, 900 bushels, but is
commercially recognized not to have ex-
ceeded 320 200, 900 bushels. Thus pres
ent indications point to crop of 225,-
100000 to 230,000,0O0 bushels, while
France consumes annually 34O, 900 900 to
$4,000, 900 bushels.
Under the circumstances it is not sur
prising that French farmers who must
hold plenty of wheat from the last good
crop, are indisposed to sell, though that
foreign wheat is already entering more
largely into consumption than might
have been thought. Already about 81
OOO, 1000 quarters have been imported into
France in the past seven months, which
even supposing the last crop was only
10000, 900 quarters, is sufficient to supple
ment the home crop if the latter were
forthcoming in larger quantities. The
large purchases which have been made
for forward delivery, and which probably
amount to about l 900 900 quarters, are
therefore destined to help satisfy future
deficiency. ...ft . ..
The price of grain is steadily increasing
all the time, there having been several
upward jumps during the past week
owing to continued reports of poor
prospects in France, Belgium, Holland
and part of Prussia. On last Friday
there was jump of about four cents,
caused by dispatch stating that the
French government will probably be
compelled before August next to ask the
chamber of deputies to suspend duties
on cereals, and that the German govern
ment expected to have to ask the reich
stag to take similar action.

TRIBUTE TO WEBSTER.

That level-headed Historian newspaper
says that when our republic rose Noah
Webster became his schoolmaster.
There had never before been a great ma
tion with universal language, without
dialect. The little island of England
holds people whose dialects are difficult
Tor English speaking people to under
stand. But now the Yorkshireman can
talk with him from Cornwall The
peasant of the Apennines, as he drives
home his goats at evening, look down
upon six provinces, none of whose dia-
iects he can speak. Here in this great
country, 5000 miles scarcely change the
sound of word. Around every fireside
and from every tribune, in every field OF
labor, and every place where men toll
with head or hand, is heard the same
tongue, the same accent. We owe it to
Noah Webster's spelling book and die
tionary. He has done more for us than
Alfred did England, or what Cadmus did
for Greece. His books have educated
three generations. They are forever
multiplying his innumerable army oi
thinkers, who will transmit his name
from age to age. Only two men have
stood on the New World whose fame is
so sure to last Columbus, its discover.
er, and Washington, its savior. Web.
ster is and will be its great teacher, and
these three will make the future trinity
of fame.

GruT Ben Butler.


Butler has a great law practice, and
many irons in the fire besides-his bunt-
ing factory, his granite quarries, and SO
on and so forth. But much of his law
practice is made, up of desperate cases,
such as those claims before the court of
claims which no one else will undertake,
and in which the compensation is all con
tingent upon success. Besides, like other
men with many irons in heating, he can
not keep them all white hot, and loses
every now and then on one of them
Then, too, he is one of the most generous
and charitable of men, He lives on a
scale which seems extravagant to most
men, keeping up three or four establish
ments-one here, one in Lowell, one in
Boston, and so on-and treating all his
relatives and friends most generously in
all his dealings with them.
Rough and gruf as he sometimes seems,
his heart is tenderness itself, and his com
passionate ear and hand are always open.
He gives away a small fortune every year,
to say nothing of his thank you" practice,
which exceeds that of any other lawyer in
the United States, and probably in the
world Naturally, with all his shrewd-
ness. he is deceived by the designing, and
loses more money in this way than most
people give away. Unless his forthcoming
"Reminicences'' yield large sum. Butler
will not leave a large fortune behind him.

Sun Spots.

For several years the sun has been in a
quiescent condition, his surface being com
paratively free from spots, and his promin-
ences of comparatively infrequent occur
renee and insignificant proportions. The
great luminary has been passing through
his minimum sun spot period; for the spot
producing activity of the sun is governed
by laws that the, close observation of the
last two centuries has interpreted, while
observers are still cropping after the cause
of the spots themselves.
1t takes about eleven years to complete
q sun spot cycle. though the intervals are
irregular. Each cycle includes maxi
mum and a minimum period, which are
also irregular. The spots vary greatly in
number. During some cycles the suns
face is never free from them; during others
it is unmarried for days, and even for
months. AS the last maximum period oc-
CURED about 1872, it is time to antici-
pate recurrence of solar activity, and re-
cent observations show that the activity
has already begun. - 80
Enormous fluctuations are taking place
on the surface Of the sun, and will be fol
lowed for the two or three coming years by
spots of every variety. There will be normal
spots, consisting of an umbra and penum-
bra, and spots irregular in form or gather
ed in groups. The sizes of the spots vary
from 500 miles to $1,000 miles or more, and
they are often large enough to be visible
to the naked eye. They may last for a few
days, or for weeks or months. Their dis
tribution is mostly confined to two zones
on the SUMS surface, between 5 degs. and
10 degs. of latitude north and south.
Other signs of solar agitation follow in
the wake of the sun spots. Gigantic solar
eruptions, known as rosy protuberances,
rise from the SUMS border. like tongues of
flame, sometimes to the height of hundreds
of thousands of miles. The earth bears
witness to the disturbed state of the sun,
for auroras flash in the heavens, magnet
ism reaches its greatest point of oscilla-
tion and electricity takes on it's most brill
iant manifestations. Companion
