ancholy procession. The convention
OF the New York Peddlers' Benevo
lent association passed certain rules
the first Of which prescribes that NJ
| woman, except she is widow, shal
peddle with a push-cart. 1t seems
that when some OF the peddlers fee
indisposed, they send their wives
and these sometimes outsell their
neighbors OF the long boards. II IS
also prescribed that no peddler shall
shout out his wares, lest he spoil the
trade OF others This is more con-
slderation for others than we looked
for in peddlers, not finding It in other
dealers; but It is a good rule, and is
well observed, as not sound IS
heard from the peddlers in the
streets from morning 10 night. II is
trade 10 be learned. Only one
peddler is allowed TO one corner
the best corner being given to the
one giving most to the city. The
pushcart business is not affected by
the summer exodus, as patrons in
this line do not go away to the sum-
mer resorts. The association OF ped
dlers. though It had only seventy
delegates at the meeting, is n vigor-
GUS army, and every member of It
means business all the time.
