NOT satisfied with the already mixed and
chaotic system of English grammar which the
school book publishers persist in inficting up
on us, correspondent of one of the New

THERE never has been a time when freights
from the interior of the country to the sea-
board and across the ocean have been as low
as during the present season. During the
summer it has cost less than three cents a
bushel to send wheat from Chicago to Buffalo,
less than twelve cents to New York, and only
twenty-eight and half cents from Chicago
to Liverpool. 1t is said that all the through
railway lines have been doing this business at
loss, particularly those less direct. The ex-
isting lines have shown that they can take
care of the present business without great de-
tention to shippers, from which it may be
concluded that With the new road building,
there will be no occasion for Mr.. Windom's
