Commercial Travellers as Seen from Ru-
raj Standpoint.

The Utica Herald thus talks of that much
abused class, the commercial travellers:
Most noticeable, both for voice and manner,
are hosts Of ''drummers," who know every
body; whose fund of stories is never exhaust
ed; who travel to the best of our belief all
night, and who sell goods and customers all
day; 1--WE never heard of ones being caught
asleep, indeed we believe they never sleep,)
who keep one eye ever open for business, and
the other constantly watchful for car firtations.
Men whose clothes, although of good materi-
al, have general air of having been worn
several week. without being removed whose
''cheek'' is bo, ndless; whose tongue is tire
less. They are .,e exclamation points in the
history of modern travel. They are the most
constant of all classes in the patronage of the
tells, fiattery of the servant girls, and the
abuse of the porters. They are comets of busi-
ness astronomy, eccentric in orbit and appear
ance. They possess much Of the shrewdness
of the old Yankee peddlers, together with
more of their own, and they increase in num-
bers, in ingenuity, in persistency, and in ev-
erything with every year. While they resem-
BILE each other, each class has peculiarities OF
its own. The New York drummer may be
known by his diamond, by his restlessness, by
his pocket full of illustrated papers, and by
his assumption Of superiority over all other
drummers. The Boston drummer wears
clothes of milder cut, displays the most
faultless taste as to travelling bags, is particu-
lar as to the gloss of his hat; but for all that
wears the distinctive marks of his profession
in his face and tells his profession in his man

GENEROSITY UNLIMITED. General Ed
ward McCook was standing in the Sherman
house yesterday, talking with friend, when
he was accosted by seedy looking individual
of woe-begone aspect, who approached and
in voice quivering with emotion, inquired.
''Th's is Gen. McCook, 1 believe ?' eyes,
sir" courteousiy replied the general. Where
upon the man produced dirty cotton hand
kerchief, and made an unsuccessful attempt
to hide the tears which welled up from his
heaving bosom. As soon as he could COM
mand his voice he faltered feelingly: 81 was
with you at Memphis, sir.'' 81 never was at
Memphis" said the general. I'll meant
Manassas" hurredly rejoined the emotional
veteran. "Ah, yes, Manassas returned
McCook; ''what regiment did you belong
to?" .'rhe second Illinois battery, sir" said
the other, with cheerful alacrity "Just So"
was the generals dry comment as he pressed
five dollar bill into the mans palm, remark
ing to his friend as the Second lllinoisian
shuffied away, 81 never had such battery
in nv command" ."-ChicG9o Tribune.
