SILENT TRAVELLERS.

New York Sun: On a parlor car thai
was pulled out Of Baltimore a few day
ago were six travelling men, headed fol
New York. The conventionalities to &C.
guardianship in society are not OBJ
served by travelling men, but in this case
1t happened that the six preferred their
newspapers to stories, ETC., and each re-
tired with himself, showing that he
wanted to be let alone.
At the first stop an old man boarded the
train, and he too had a chair in the parlOr
car, for the first time in his life, as he
told the conductor. He got lonesome and
started in to get acquainted. He picked
out the biggest man, an amiable, Tom
tteed-lOoking traveller from MINNEAPOLIS.
Wher' the depot for Boston," was
the first query Of the old man.
Inc DIG man was not quite prepared to
break the rule of silence established by
his confreres, and made no reply.
The Onl man waited about as long as
an impatient old man can be expected to
wait, and made another attack.
I'm goln' to Boston when l get to New
YORK. and | want to know if We know
Wher the Boston depot is?'
The big man looked at the INQUIRER. hut
said nothing.
Once more the old man returned, on a
higher key:
~ say I'm goin' to Boston-do We know
