The stagnation in ocean steamship freights is so
great and the rates offered are so ow that there Is
a lack OF competition for steam charters. -Four
loads or 81 900 bushels of wheat. were taken on a
steam charter to Liverpool yesterday at one penny
pcr bushel. In 1880 the rate was seven pence a
iushel. As it costs about one penny bushel to
handle the grain, il is simply taken as ballast An
other charter for the same amount OF gram was
made Yesterday for Bristol at two and half pence
per bushe the rate two years ago being eight pence
Der bushel what are we TO do 7" said an agent Of

is held here The English and Continental ports are

speed attained was only about ten miles per hour.
Mr. Edisons track is like that OF any ordinary rail-
road involving curves grades lone over thirty feet
10 the milel, with the various obstacles Of ravines,
streams and rocks The car resembles our modern
horse-car The electricity is communicated from the
generators, some 300 yards away by two heavy
wires one connecting with each track The tracks
are insulated by covering the ends of the ties with
a nOn-conducung compound. The wheels take up
the electricity from the tracks and communicate
with the dynamO-electric machine and gearing in
the locomotive Thus is given to the train noise

TOBACCO-A PARABLE.

Then shall the kingdom of Satan
be likened to grain of tobacco-seed
which, though exceedingly small, be-
ing cast into the ground, grew, and |
became a great plant, and spread its
leaves rank and broad, so that huge
and vile worms formed habitation |
thereon. And it came to pass, in
the course of time, that the sons of
men looked upon it and thought it
beautiful to look upon, and much to
be desired to make the lads look big
and manly. So they put forth their
hands and did chew thereof. And
some it made sick, and others to
vomit most filthy. And it further
came TO pass that those who chewed
it became weak and unmanly, and
said ''we are enslaved, and can't
cease from chewing it. And the
mouths of all that were enslaved be-
came foul; and they were seized
with violent splitting: and they did
spit, even in ladies' parlors, and in
the house of the Lord of Hosts. And
the saints of the most High were
greatly plagued thereby. And in the
course of time it came to pass that
others snuffed it; and they were tax
en- suddenly with fits, and they did
sneeze, with great and mighty
sneeze, insomuch that their eyes fill
ed with tears, and they did look ex-
ceedingly silly. And yet others cum
ningly wrought the leaves thereof
into rolls, and set fire to one end
thereof, and suck vehemently at the
other end thereof, and did look very
grave and calf-like and the smoke
Of their torment assembled up forever
and forever. And the cultivation
,, thereof became great and mighty

chantmen waxed rich by the com
: merce thereof. And it came to pass
that the saints of the most High de
filed themselves Herewith even the
poor, who could not buy shoes, no
. bread, nor books for the little ones
spent their money for it. And thu
Lord was greatly displeased there

n Turn now your fields into corn an
II wheat; and put this evil thing ia
from you; aud be separate, and de
