Well, Lime City, so you think you
will become n suburb of Toledo some
whore in tho 3000. I hardly think you
took a birdseye prospect of this part of
Ohio, before you wroto that prophecy.
You see down hero is Bradner, a town
of prodigious size, nearly in the center
of the "go off Itself" (nitro-glycerine)
country which is growing very rapidly
and tiB largo towns always grow
towards each other I think it will be
so in this case. Now you see these
two towns will meet probably as early
as somewhere in the 4000's and as Le
Moyue is about half . way between we
think when the two cities collide it
will be about here, nnd as that will
bring us in tho center why of course
our little town will be the heart of this
great metropolis then. But sister city,
what is your opinion of Stony Ridgo
which is situated just betneou? I think
they are on to the situation of affairs
and are u little frightened now and nre
beginning to die off as wo have not heard
from their correspondent tor the last
two or three weeks.
JIow Prices of Farm Products nre Deter
mined. Tho size of tho crop is tho thing
that determines tho Bizo of tho prices.
There is a donitind for a certain amount
of farm products from year to year,
und the rise or fall as tho supply sinks
below or goes beyond this demand. The
theorists may talk tin much as thoy
pleaso about othur influences, but tho
question Is at last only ono of quantity.
Tho world must havo so many bushels
of grain per year, and It w ill pay thero"
for simply so much us it is obliged to
considering tho avniluble surplus.
Thero is no procoss of legislation by
which additional sales can bo forced
when tho demand hns onco beon sup
plied; It is not iu tho power ot Con
gress to compel pui'chubors to tnko
more than they want, or to give xnoro
than they arc willing to pay. Tho fact
that tho crop of n given year Is in
excess ot the measure of consumption
cannot bo concealed. It is known ever,
whore, and prices aro adjusted accord
ingly. When tho crop is short, the
Hiiino rulo applies, ntid thu markots nro
correspondingly affected. If tho farm
ers could manago to produce only
enough each yeur to moot tho domnnd,
thoy would nlways obtain just und fair
prices. It Is overproduction, in other
words, that puts prices down lor them,
and thoy ennnot expect to havo prices
kept up for them under suoh circum
stances by any sort of artificial force.

May bo tho Last Hnlute tor an American
Admiral.
Ab tho funeral cortego wound slowly
on its way townrd Arlington Inst Tues
day, bearing with it tho body of tho
late ndrairnl of the navy, a far-off boom,
ing of cannon was heard down tho
Potomac. Soventren times in solemn
succctsion tho sound reverberated.
Then, ns silence settled down upon tho
waters of tho Potomac, a navol officer,
in full dress uniform, standing on tho
bridge leading to Arlington, turned to
a companion nnd remarked:
"That is In all human probability tho
last timo wo shall ever hear Unit saluto.
That sequence of seventeen guns, tho
honors paid an admiral, will never bo
heard until the rank of admiral is
revived, which will never be, unleRS
this country becomes engaged in actual
warlare, when necessity may causo tho
creation of tho offico of admiral again."
Tho greater honor rested upon Admi
ral Porter, in that only two men ever
bore tho title. Farragut was tho first
admiral in the American navy, Porter
the second nnd last.

LIFE OF GENERAL HIIEHMAX.
Va literary announcement of the ytar is
of greater Interest to the general public than
that of a comprehensive Life ot General Sher
man, which Is about to be published nnd sold

Curtis (- Co. of Cincinnati, O.nnd lloston,
Ms. Admirable biographies of Grunt, Mierl
dan. complete to thu tiuiu of their dtuth, aro
already fniullinr tn thw public, but a life of tho
third great commander, to finish the scries,
has been lucking. Tho various biographies of
Sherman hitherto published have necessarily
been incomplete; anil even his own memoirs,
written in 187o, said inmost nothing of his
Intensely Interesting eurly life, and not a word
of course, ot tho more limn tuenly years of
social activity uud fraternity with old comrades
sluee the wnr.
Tho work which is now to bo issued will
splendidly supply thu widely felt demand foe
n history of tho great strntegctlc commander.
It is belmr written bv tienernl O. O. Howard.
a mun of line litcrury attainments, who knew
bliernmn better limn any otiicroi iiik comrades
now living, and ranked next but one to him,
in the army, una ny winis lieiener Johnson,
whooubility as a historian is familiar to tho
reading nubile of America through his former
unustntlly popular works, which have had
millikiis of readers, nnd the snles of their vast
editions enriched an army of hook uccnts.
That this history of Sherman, the Inst of tho
great uenerms, win surpass an outers in popu
larity is not to be doubted.
The story of this great General's career is of
a mnnellous march from the mountains of
time tn the sea of eternity. Of the three great
war hcrocc, Sherman was by for the most
interesting perronullty. Ho was the best
known to the public nnd tho best loved for
his genial disposition and warm rymputhr with,
the popular heurt Helms joli-ed his illustri
ous compeers In the eternal bivounc of the (lend.
He Is a life to study to emulate uud is a pro
found Inspiration. The forthcoming volumn
will tell the whole story of his marvelous
career, nnd from the authorship engaged upon
It, we -reassured It will be told in n way that
will enthral thu intention und interest of every
reader from llrst to lust, It i.s u book every
American will want and one every American
youth should read. It will doubtless be tho
best life of tho great clilcfiuiii published, and
we predict for It wonderful popularity. Sea
