You spoke of our seeing the country. You’d laugh if I told you that I never saw Niagra Falls in niy life until I was tlurtv-five years old, though I had Been within two miles of it hundreds of times. It is so. I never had time. At last I was ashamed’of it, and absolutely took a day, and wrote the house I was going, to the Falls on a spree. I went there and stayed a couple of ning to tbiuk of 0 see in Buffalo, took tlie first train for that city, and let the Falls go to pot; the fuct is, when I am on business, I can’t take any pleasure in fun. 1 scarcely know one plaee from an other, except hy the business houses in them, and as for scene ry—the finest scenery 1 know of, is a merchant calling at .your ho tel two or three times before you arrive, wanting to know ifyou have'iit come yet, so he can buy a bill of goods of you. ’ 1IOW THEY LIVE. 'We do not stop at first-class hotels, and we always get as good accommodation as there are iu the house. Why? Because we pay our bills; because wc arc the big gest kind of walking advertise ment for a hotel, and the men who know how to keep one, un derstand that fact. Wc can send hundreds of dollars worth of busi ness to a hotel, or drive hundreds away from it, simply hy report ing to each other how wc are treated. We get together in smoking cars and iu our rooms at nights, and detail every mean act or petty extortion, and von bet that landlords don’t make any millions out of us by crowding! Some of us have our regular rooms—best family rooms, too, wc occupy every month, for years, and wc always get them, even- time, uo matter who is in them. The head wallers know us like a hook, and so do the hoys; and you bet we don’t get any tender loin steaks or broiled chickens or birds and tilings ! Oh, no ! they ain’t for us ! "* ! Certain towns are celebrated for their mean hotels. Provi dence, R. I., was, until a few years since; the meanest of all mean hotels, eight.or nine years ago, was the City Hotel. For a place of eighty thousand inhabit ants, it used to lie a wonder to us why such a hole was in existence ; but it was the only one in town and we had to goto it. The boys got so they used to do their busi ness up in n day, and then go to Boston, fifty miles off, and stay, rather than sleey in town. I be lieve it is better now. It makes a mighty sight of difference to a man who works twelve and four teen hours a day, as wc do, talk ing and walking all the time, what h- at big places on the New York a store until I got* an order. Central, like Syracuse, Utica, [you haven't given me any, Rome, Rochester, etc., was $6 90 per day, exclusive of salary, of course.

Our sal aries vary from $800 per year and expenses to $5,000 and ditto.— For me, 1 get $3,. r >00, which is fair, l consider, though I earn every cent of it. My house is a good one to work for, that’s one comfort. They never write me scolding letters, blowing me up when I have done 1113- best; but thoy sav, ' Mr. Jinks. 3-011 have had a hard trip this time ; better go home for a few days and see your wife, and then come hack [ and try it again.’ I can’t keep; here 1 !

Itnprji- j dent speaking did much mischief I sometimes. There are occasions in tin life of a great part.v, when silence, prudence and n masterly inactivity are its highest policy, because then the opposition is al lowed to develop its pernicious schemes and show its hand fully, and then can find no shelter from tiie storm of popular indignation certain to come upon it. These seem to lie his views, and, further, that it is ot the first importance, that the friends of Constitutional freedom, with whom is tiie hope of the future ot this Govermneiit, should fully understand and wiae- . *, ly appreciate tiie truth that, ’ in .senator Gordon on j ,^5,.* , atil . m . c , llo8wlW they their le Senate the other! ,,1'. J THE SITUATION. Vieira *11100. A. II. Mr|thr»«. Washington City, I>. ^ Fehruar}' 2, 1875. } My Dear Sir.—I have been here now, long enough, I think. 1 can but feel that the sober, sec ond thought, has conic to the peo ple at large, and that this genera tion at least, will not and cannot he hurried again into fraternal strife and bloodshed. I’wa*grati fied to hear the floor of tiie day, after declaring iris fealty to the Constitution and tiie Union of these. States, make hisappeal from the sectional hate'on that floor to tl.e popular heart and tiie patriot ism of the whole country. Thu speech was a masterl}’ one iu nil its features, but grand in its mun- awav from tiie store two days at a 1 hood, its uuscctional patriotism with him twain.’ ' This is a queer sort of life 3 011 lead,’ I said, on being seated. Don’t 3'ou enjo3* going altont the ountiy, living at first-class ho tcls, riding iu palace cars, smok ing the best cigars, flirting with *11 the prett3’ girls you meet, and, in a word, making a long spree of life all at other peoples’ expense? Seems to me, a commercial trav eler has a mightv- easy berth of of it. I’d iike to bo one myself.’ He listened to all I said with an amused twinkle iu his 03-0, nnd replied : ' Well!’ now it is strange that about even* man outside of the business, has just exaeth- 3’our idea of it—which is just exactly the wrong one. There never was more incorrect idea of the du ties nnd animus of commercial travelers than the popular 011c Win - , man alive!’ he said spirit ed^-, '3-011 mustn’t suppose the merchants of New York are idiots,' or that they lose sight of us the moment we leave the store.

You needn’t laugh, it is so. Business of all kinds now-n-days, is done tn* actual personal representation and solicitation. A merchant has certain kinds of goods which he puts on the market; he adver tises them ful^-, and then follows up his advertisements by iris trav elers, nnd rakes in all he can.— Commercial travelers are more numerous to-da3* in all lines, than ever before. When you sec a smart, active mau going from store to store in suburban cities, talking with the proprietor con fidentially, and producing a hook ill which he makes notes from time to time, that man is a commercial tourist, as we call ourselves for feu, and is doing as much busi ness in his way, tor his house, as “£a?«cuHjo& ,i ^ V 'a“ur! wPsiiopXktSl .they do for themselves.

IIow is a man to have any spunk or spirit in him, alter riding, sav five hundred miles a week, and talking all the time, except when lie’s asleep, if lie i- disturbed I13- lings or fed on bull- beef and slops goneralh ? lie can’t do it. Can't ride live hun dred miles a week and do any business. Young mail, we work all day and ride all night. That’s the way wc do it, except in J>ig towns like Buffalo and Chicago ; there, ot course, it's different. SAMPLES ANI> EXPENSES. ’ Samples ! 3"cs, ot course, wc carry samples; some ot 11s have half a dozen big trunks lull ot ’em; regular store in itself, to lug around. Diy goods, hats, hoot and shoe uien, all have 'em; and at the end of their trips, tl>c3' sell the lot for what they can get to some Cheap John ; trunks and all; unless thc3' arc sample trunks made on purpose for their busi ness. Some have samples which thc3- cany in hand, and those are the* worst of all. Cutlervmen catch it heavy 011 these. They ain't hcav’3’ enough to put in tiie liaggnge, but the3' have to be toted round from store to store; weigh 011I3' twent3*-fivc pounds, some of them. You take one of them, carry it all day in a country town or cit3% talk all tiie while, and perhaps make 110 sales after all—find some chap has lieen ahead of you and done it all for 3-011 and when it conies night, ifyou don't feel tired, 30,1’re a horse, that’s all. Big bill expenses! Well, that depends on where and how you travel. In the Eastern States, where distances arc short and ho tel charges small in the towns, the expenses arc ver3‘ slim ; $2 75 to $4 a day, unless 3-011 hire a horse too often, covers it all; but when 3’on get to Boston or Phila delphia, or go West, the scene changes, and 3-011 can’t go decent ly for less than six or eight dol lars per diy for legitimate outla\". That’s what it will cost day in and day out. For live years, my ac- in detail, from .fall. II, llL. . . 1 Some have twenty travelers ftc ro,,ntr - v nt thc sa,uc time.

Why, mail}’ 1 big house in this cit}- depends more upou its travelers than upon its partners for trade and saga cious conducting it. and if tiie}’ lost llicni, would be in a box. I have known travelers to stand b}- a corner, voluntarily accept a re duction of salary, cut down their expenses all they could, dcceutly, and work hard when thoy knew the house was in a tight place, and their efforts were in no small degree, enntrihutive to final suc cess. rXTKCSTWOETHY TRAVELERS. ’ Black sheep in the business ! Certainl}-, there are ; just as mail}- as in any other profession; and they make so much noise, live so much in the public eye, that they get the whole ot us a bad name sometimes, but that afl’ects us very little. They don't get far; their lareer is soon terminated. Thc telegraph is too long now-a-days and roaches too far for a nmn to j cut up man}- didoes. First thing lie knows, in one of iris drunken sprees, somebody telegraphs or writes to liis folks that their trav eler has been drunk about town for five or six days, and tiie}- had better get him home, which they do might}- quick. Then again, there arc men who smooch fifteen or twent}- dollars a week hy 1 op- resenting they have been to such and such places, when all the}- ever did, was to talk to a mer chant from town whom they met 1)}- chance on tiie platform of an other place fifty miles a fray : they charge traveling expenses all the same, but such tilings are like all otlier forms of human swindling and dishonesty, found out sooner or later. Then again, there are men who pick up loose women and go about lintels with theui, thinking that nobody knows them or tlicir company, lint they soon get undeceived upon that point, by hearing of it in many W113-9.— Yon must not judge all travelers hv the misdeeds of a few. for no class of men work harder and more faithfully, than they do. DIGNITY OF THE PROFESSION. 'Get snuhlted sometimes? I don't understand you ! Rebuffed ! Wliv, who should rebuff me? I am not a bootblack or match ped dler! It is a favor a man does me, to Inn-1113- goods ! He knows that as well as 1 do. ^ on don t rebuff }’our grocer, do you, when he brings }*our order in. or your butcher? Not much. I would like to see the man I couldn't ap proach. All men are approacha ble one way or another; and if you know your business, you know how to meet them. No merchant ever tried to put on am" airs with me, simply because I al ways respect nnselt. It docs not take long to see that. A good mail}' men are sent out in driving times, who ought never to lie on the road at all, and they get re am! comprehensive appreciation of tiie great issues of the pending crisis.
