oUR DAsHING DKUMMERs.

A class of men cleveriy portrayed by
the versatile pen OF Dickens as the COM
mercial travellers of England are repro
duced and revised, ii mot improved, in
the modern American drummers. They
are distinct and distinguishable from all
other men; and they possess many traits
so prominent and peculiar as to lead us
to the conclusion that your genuine
drummer, like the poet, is born and not
made.
Asrailroads have multiplied and the
facilities for travel have increased, the
territory of the drummer has been ex-
tended until his face has grown familiar
in the most remote settlements, and he
has positively become o power in the
land. Very few commercial houses at
tempt to carry on business without his
assistance, and in many cases he holds
complete control OF their entire trade.
In factiit is frequently the case that all
the enterprise and business tact of an
establishment is embodied in its repre-
senta tive on the road; it depends upon
him for support, and the withdrawal or
transfer Of his services would be the sig
nal for it's destruction.
Perhaps the most prominent charac-
teristic of the travelling salesman is
that abundant assurance which is most
tamiliarly designated as 'cheek." With
out it be is a failure; but possessed of it
in sufficient quantities, he will overcome
the sterRest OF difficulties, and subdue
the most stubborn OF customers. To
this indisputable feature he adds ia.

all times, and which, by judicial man.

is an fdit in the newest jokes

THE Legislatures OF Massachusetts
and Illinois commence the work of elect
ing United States Senators to-day. In
the former State the prominent caudi-
dates are Hon. George 3. Boutwell,, Hon.
George f. Hoar, Ex-Governor Rice, and
EX-Governor Alex. II. Bullock. Mr.
Boutwell, is the present incumbent, and
will most probably be reelected.
In Illinois John A. Logan Is
the nominee of the Republi-
can caucus, but there is strong
fight against him. The Democrats have
determined to support EN-Gov. Palmer,
and the Independents Judge David Da-
Wis. Through this division of the oppo-
sition, Senator Logan will probably Sc
cure re-election.

with you on political matters it will be
in such a spirit OF good humOr that you
will never find fault with his senti-

Notwithstanding the rollickiug repu-
tation which the drummers sustain, it
seems that there are still number OF
sober and serious men in their ranks
who take warm interest in the spirit
ual welfare of their rowing companions.
A meeting of travelling men of this class
was held in Chicago few eve
nings since, at which a society
was organized to be known as
the Travelling Mems Christian Union.
AS the members of this fraternity
will be men of ''rapid transil," and
scarcely OF any tixeu abode, being here
to-day and there tomorrow, 1t can
hardly be hoped that the organization
will have much influence over them.
And when we consider the many at
fractions the city Of Chicago presents TO
the travelling man which are not OF a
strictly moral character, we are forced

ment and many tribulaticns.

CONVICTED HIMsELF.-The French
Bar has just lost In M. Chaix-d' Est
Ange one OF its greatest masters. His
greatest triumpns, perhaps, and one OF
the greatest trlumphs ever obtained at
any bar, was achieved in the case OF a
man called Ben0it, whom he was prose-
cutting for parricide. Benoit had all
along persisted In declaring he was i'll
nocenL, and there was nothing but cir
cumstantial evidence against MIN. Nj.
Chaix-d Est-Ange resolved to employ
one of the most startling and dramatic
figures of rhetoric ever used in court
Of law. Turning TO the prisoner, he
placed the scene OF The murder in vivid
and striking language before him.
"There," he cried, 'sat your father,
quietly reading the newspaper, near the
window. He could not see who came
into the room. You stole in ON tiptoe
and crept close behind him. Y You paused
one moment and then raised the

THE Eastern situation has taken a
shape that neither fools nor statesmen
dreamed of at the commencement OF the
Conference. When arrangements were
in progress for ameeting of the repre-
sentatiYes of the Great Powers it was
questionable whether or not Turkey
would even be allowed hearing. The
understanding seemed fully to be that
Turkey was at the mercy of the Powers
and would gladly accept whatever part
allotted her. Negotiations had not pro.
caeded far, however, before it began to
be apparent that Turkey meant TO have
something to say, and as the work of
concluding basis of peace went on it
was soon evident that the hardest lot all
to satisfy was Turkey. Neither the
threats nor advice OF friendly Engla nd
served to bring her to terms, and twice
the Great Powers, after fully agreeing
among themselves, have been compelled
to modify their propositions in
the hope of satisfying the
Gaptious representative Of the
Sultan. The COME ence yesterday again

The Conference meets again on Thurs
day, at which time either one party or
the other must yield, or, according to
the abatement of the foreign representa-.
tives, they will all leave Constanin0ple.

HARRINGTON, the ,nan Who is likely to

ty. is credited With doing . great many
smart things in his life. He is said to
be one Of the smartest criminals ever Ar
rested in the State, and unless the Off
GERS keep . sharp watch upon his actions
he may yet escape his approaching doom.
In regard to his ingenuity We give an
extract from the Chronicle relative to q
trick he attempted while an inmate Of
the prison at Carson. About two years
AGO he vas working in the bootmaker's
department and succeeded in manufac-
turing boot which he must have expect
ed would be OF considerable use to him
ON future occasions. In the shank was

fiue saw and file, both Of which had evil

Warden happening to strike his hand
against one Of the bolts of the cell. found
that the head came of, being nothing

heads Of several bolts and made good
imitation in wax. which he covered With
lamptlack to give them the appearance
Of iron. When an opportunity Of es-
cape presented itself he expected to drive
the bolt out and then mako his exit.

At last tho Third House is about
to be organized with all due form
and ceremony. By reference to our
Legislative columns it will be seen
that the use of the Senate Chamber
has been granted for next Tuesday
evening, and there and then an or
panization will be effected. In con-
sequence of the immense crowd OF
strangers and politicians who are ex-
pected to be present, the first ten
rows of seats will be reserved for
ladies, and they are respectfully IN
vited to be present. After due de-
liberation and q great deal of argu-
ment, the Governors message has
been selected as the theme for the
discussion, and the different parts OF
this will be presented in an able and
masterly manner. Cicero will not
be there, nor Demosthenes, nor
Daniel Webster himself, but others
will do Justice to the subjects in de.
tail, and rhetoric and argument will
predominant on the occasion. Bis
marck and Gladstone, Tilden and
Hayes have been invited to be pres
ent, but the distance from Carson to
London and Berlin will preclude the
two former from attending: The
latter gentlemen are expected, and
their presence will add materially to
the interest of the proceedings.
Eight o'clock is the time announced.
but children and aged persons had
better go early in order to escape the
rush and tumult of the crowd.
