that which exists in Great Britain, has recently
been projected in New York. The number of tray
cling agents hailing from New York, Boston Phil
adelphia and Baltimore, and constantly perambu-
iating the Union, is at least eight thousand and it
is proposed to form a society with number of the
leading merchants in each city at its head. for the
purpose of bringing these travellers into commun-
cation with each other, 50 that the wearing of
some slight badge or peculiar pin should at once
make individuals of this class acquainted with each
other. Each member is expected to pay a small
admission fee and annual assessment, for the pur-
pose of establishing a sinking fund from which
sums for the reiict of sick disabled members
could be drawn.
