in the traffic: In 1884 there was ship
ped 0. 1S2 barrels and 39G, 1874 boxes, while
in 19S4-95, S,333 barrels aud 500, Ais
boxes have been shipped. The season
1884-S5 is not yet ended and is holding
out remarkably well. The season will
lap over into the vegetable season,
which will begin in about two weeks.
Already quantities of cabbage are going
northward, while few struggling cases

scalpers Gaining a Foothold.

That ticket-scalpers are gaining a strong foot
hold in the railroad world is daily becoming
more apparent. There is ample evidences that
at least seven Indianapolis roads are working
through indianapolis scaping Offices, and nearly
all western connections of Indianapolis roads as
well are working through Indianapolis scalpers.
The promises of local passenger agents between
themselves amount to nothing-there is not one
IN ten of the passenger agents whose word can
be believed on rate matters. The agent who
says he is working with the scalpers is the most
likely to he the who is not and vice versa.
In railroad circles point has been reached
when the agent who can tell the biggest lies
about his route and his methods Of doing business
stands the highest in the estimation of his SUI
perior officers, and the scalper has come to be
the fairest man of the two, for he advertises
his business to be emitting rates, while the pas
senger agent denies that he is so doing, either
at the local Office or through scalpers. It is
hardly probable. however, that a local agent will
work with scalpers. unless countenanced in 80
doing by the general passenger agent The fact
is that many competing lines find them excellent
agents and give them tickets direct from the
general Office, in many cases. Every now and
then the roads declare that they will do this no
more and promise not to offer tickets no brokers
to be sold un der the regular fares and at per-
centage hut they soon forget such promises.
and to-day the ticket scalper, broker, as
they wish to be called, has better hold than at
any time since they commenced doing business

of the mob of the city Of Boston, you annoy

Mrs. IIvermore paid hearty tribute to Gen.
Benjamin Butler, who was the friend of Wen
dell Phillips. She said it was common for peo-
pie to say i'll things of him, but to her he was
almost immaculate. He was always the friend
and champion of the poor and friendless. Eleven
times had she called upon him to labor in their
cause, and in every case he had come forward
to their succor; the strong champion, carrying
their cause forward to success, without hope OF
compensation, and at q sacrifice of his own
money.
She pictured Wendell Phillips's strange court
ship of Ann Terry Green, whom he first met in
stage-coach, and showed his great love and fdel-

votion. They had property, but their

Mr.. Phillips needed opposition to spur him on;
without it he tagged. 1t was customary even
among his friends, when he seemed to lack
proper fire, to send some one in among the back
benches to hiss. That always reused the lion.
The old Abolitionists rather liked the opposing
| mob. After the Mexican war meeting was
held in Boston to welcome Caleb Gushing
who had been something of a hero
in that affair. His soldiers did not
like him, and when the meeting began and the
taffy was about to be given, Cushings soldiers,
who lined the galleries, drowned all with the
humping of their sticks upon the floor. They
kept at it for three hours. Mr.. Foster, an emf
nent man in the cause of abolition. sat beside
Mr. Phillips in the midst of the noisy soldiers.
Mr.. Foster was one of those who didn't believe
that much could be done without mobs-without
opposition. Turning to Mr.. Phillips he re-
marked in tone of deep regret: "What pity
that SO good mob should be wasted on SO
worthless character as Caleb Cushing!"
