being completely filled by the sle .antly set tables. The drummers and ladies, in numbars filling the hall, began to assemble at about 3 o'clock, and at baif past three the hall was crowded.
Invocation was pronounced by the Rev. Geo. R. Pierce, after which a bountiful menu was served by Mr. W. Sage. As a conclusion of the afternoon exercises a number of toasts were announced and various persons called on to respond. The first, "The Mora! Status of the Traveliug Men,"' was to have been answered by Mr. Auguat Brentane, of Evansville, bat for reasons announceo he was unable to be present at either the meeting or banquet. Instead the response was made general, and at the request of Mr. Edwin 0'Boyle, chairman, Messrs. G. C. Webster, G. W. Geirer, W. Wright and T. A. Dean made briet addresses. The next toast, "The Ladies." was responded to at some length by Mrs. Anna V. Lakin, of this city. The last, "Tbe Drummer's 'L'ps? and Downs,'" was very fa vorably answered by Mr. Brace Carr, of Indianapo 1 Le. Three rousing cheers were thee given for the traveling men, Merchants aud manufacturicg men of i'&rrc Haute, and three mere for th3 Vacdalia railroad. Before the serving of refreshments, the tables, which presented a bemuifu1 appe&rsnc?, were photographed. Throughout the afterncou muiic was &!- ternataly furnished by the When aid Ringgold hands, both eliciting long and hearty applause.
The Evening Reaptioi.
As a closing and fitting tribute to the victors, a grand reception was tendered Iftt evening, at Dowlinghall. Throughoct the entire meeting an unanimity of opinion and good will has been expressed by all, and a more social and pleasant gathering cannot be thought of than that which assembled last evening. The laOies were generally arrayed in elegant evening attire, a3 were also the gentlepj'?n, and to the music of the fnll Ringgold orcbeslta, dancing was indulged in until a reasonably hour. Ti programme, cons'ta'ing of fouile^n

be:i, composed of the latpst rnd most enjoyable dances, and was of the style suitable for all. At the request of the door committee, Prof. Oikar Dnenweg assumed mac-asemant of the dances, and led the grand march. Under his skillful management, quadrilles, Bciottisches, polkas, etc., moved on smoothly, and the occasion made one of constant euj jyment to fill present. Not only did the young folks respond to the invitations to dance, but RISO the old ones, who were most conspicuous throughout. 'ITiis meeting of the Traveler' association in this city has, through tha energies of the business men, been made a complete success, both socially and in the line of mutual benefit to all. Confidence in the league has been strengthened, many new friendships formed, neighborly relations advanced, and fraternal and common
sympathy extended, not only in a manner which will leave a faint remembrance, but such that the impression will lait for a lifetime. The association lis a demonstrated clearly that it does cot exist as a union for making unjust demands of employers, but as an institution for the general advancement of the interests and standing of commercial travelers. The meeting just closed has been one of constant pleasure to the hosts of this city, and it is hoped the same opinion will be shared by the visitors, thus assuring another assembly here a! some future time. ua». LA KIN'S ADDRMiS. .MR. CMAIBMAN, LADIES AND UFWTI,F.MD.V: I am exceedingly glad that tMs opportunity is afforded me of expressing my sincere thanks to the traveling men of Indiana, snd especially to those of our own city, for the privilege they have eo kindly granted us of participating in tho pleasures of this, their twelfth an nnal meeting and this sentiment of gratitude is, 1 am sure, 9hared by every lady present, not one of whom but could li are expressed it much more fittingly than I shall be able to do. And our prosence her* to day, among our husbands, fathers, brothers snd friends, is not by mere toleration, but we were invited so cordially and artistically, wel corned so warmly, and have been entertained to royally, as to leave cot the sb dow of a doubt in tbe mind of any one that, those who ar.angtd this beautiful hospi la'ity for us are also sincerely glad to ha ft nt bare among them. But, in justic) to the gentlemen of ths committee of arrangements, who have spared neither tii le nor labor to make this occasion an es.iecially delightful one to the ladies, a fe words of explanation is necessary, lfrt, when 1 am through, their judgmeat be questioned for selecting me to resj- md to this toast. With btisy people, sii as the ladles of Terre Haute are,, who have our Reading clubs, our Cbauta iqua circles, cur Chapter work, onr CI nrch aud Sunday-school work to at te to, in addition to our domestic duties, such an effort as th's must necessa lly lie pressed into the least po.eibie spice of time. I had expected to devote th leisure of the present waek to this, scd had had hoped to be able to say so aothing worthy of the occasion, but. during the last two weeks, I have been obliged fo fight a hand to hand battle with that ranch to be dreaded disease, rheumatic fever, in which a strong, vigorous man WHS rendered, through intense suflerinu, as belplees as an infant. And it is only duriug tha last three days that have hi 1 the happinesesof gni jingthe feeble, to tering steps, ai he is learning once rn^re to walk, but just as slowly, and wi~.li as much difficulty as he learned ye irs ago when his mother held his baby hand. So the few words I shall ofler this afternoon, written in the brief intervals when my dear invalid slept, are but a poor substitute for what I had purposed t-i S9y when your committee did me the honor to plaoe my name on the ., il programme of exercises for this occasion.
which you have if we consider our relations expression to
our appreciation of the traveling men, perhaps it may not be inappropriate since the hardships and discomforts peculiar to the life of a traveling man are shared in a greater er less degree by the
iadie« of bis family. If he be a rnarrieJ man, which of course, since lie is preminently a sensible man, he is or—expects to be—his wife, although she may be a happy woman, must of necessity often be a very lonely one. The compamonship of the one dearer to bar than ai 1 others, can be enjoyed only during brief intervals. The evening-) are few and far batffeen vlieu she cao gather all her dear ones iround the family heartb. TOP. timid wotnmlhe locg lonely nights without the comforting pressnce of ft man in the houEe, are a real terror, though every doorbs triple locked, and every shutte, hermetically sealed. She tremblingly examins every closet, and looks under every bad, and t\hen she rethes has a loaded revolver hindy, which nothing on earth could induce htr to uee
The care of the children devolves almost entirely on her, and anxious days trs spent in trying to solva the knot'y problem of liow best to manage and train them, and many a night-long vigil does the keep watching alor.a over their childish ailments. Her socul pleasures are much intarferred with, since no true wife finds much etjoyment in going tbout without her husband, even though other friends be numaroua and kiad. She ijoes to chnre'u so often alone that those who do not know to the contrary tupjjoss iter to be a widow. She takes up •ho daily paper durinc her husband's abser-ce with fear and trembling, and lays it down with a thoughtful hairt tvhen she fiuda that no railroad accident has happened where ho is. When his trips ar-.- long, outside bnsinesa-ss well is the aftnirs of tho house devolve upon her, thus adding to her burdens The small worries and annoyances of life must be borne without the "encouraging smile, tbe helpful word, so grateful to the weary over-burdened housekeeper and wife, and even when the husband is at bonis they ars z?.a!o: sly kept out of ai^ht b?ca'.isa ehe will not spoil hiB only happy time.
The traveling man's wife soon learns to know that there is nil the difference in the world between the sound of tbe omnibus when ii is taking her dear one away from hoaip, and when it announces h:3 rctura. In the former esse it falls upon her reluctant ears like tbe hollow rumbling of a hoarse, but in the hitler it has the glad, merry ring which :\c aleish b.itls ev.r had. No night passes when by is away that she dots not, on bended knees with reverent lips, p.nd trnstinct heart, eorumenci her dear wacJerer to the care of One who suflereth not even a sparrow to fall unnoticed, and who alone can shield him from the innumerable dangers which beset his pathway.
Aud, amid all these cares and aintielies, she must keep herself happy cud cheerful for his sake, and make her home so bright and attractive that not even the bigS-l'a day hotels can tival it in tha atlections ot iU master.
T!ut, above all things, tbe traveling man's wife must be a good cook, and

band's plate at every iusal, lest the family board suffer in comparison with other to which be fa accustomed to sit down. Tbe business capacity of the traveling man himself is conceded by all, since, without possessing ability and that in the highest order in a very marked degree, he could not be a traveling man at all. Everybody knows this. Many think that they know it themselves.
A paragraph like this appeared iu a recent paper: A Harvard professor lias made the calcnlaIhtion that if men wore reully es big as they sometimw feel there would be room ia the United States for oely two professorB, three lawyers, two doctors and a reporter on a Philadelphia papar. The rest of as would be crowded into tho seu and would hava to swim for it.
Now it is often assorted that the travig man has more than his share of that sub'.imaselfrconfideace commonly known as cheek. Such specimens of tho geuus traveling uiau may possibly exist. It ia no* fer me to deny the fact. But I am positive that they cannot be found Fnv na:irer to us than Maine or Florida, ff oa ever passed through the state of Indirnal never heard of it, tnd lam quite sure that one of that sort never stopped, evou temporarily, in Terre Haute.
The moral status of the commsrcial tri-.veler has been so ably discuued that nothing can bo added, only that when b's reputed irregularities, away from home, are commented upon, I am remiaded of an incident which occurred in this city. At one time the superintended of the public schools submitted a monthly report to tbe trustees, in which the number of cases of tardiness were-a little more than usual. The trustees locked grave, and sugg«sted that tbis WES a large—in fact a very large—nnmbj.- of cases for one moath. The superintendent said, in his suavest manner, yc:', it was, unless they should take into consideration the number of cases which misbt have occurred. There were 3,000 pupils in the schools, and two sessions pa: day, and twenty school days iu a month, therefore there might have been 120,000 caees in one month. So it is with the traveling men. In a country wbere he is so numerous an to bs counted by the hundred thousand tbe proportion of those who, when a.vsv from home influences and restraints, forget Eelf-resprct and the obligations due to others, ia not larger than th it which obtains among any other chies of men—no single class excepted. Oil the contrary, when a man travels so continually that he may be said not to hsve any home life at all, as in a case of which I know, when hia longest stay at home during a whole decade, except wlen occupying a bed of sicknes, was oniy three weeks when he mingles constantly with strangers in whom he hci no special interest, and who ha\e no interest in him who passes lonely days and nights, and interminable Sundays, aui yet seeks no questionable pas time or resort, loyal in thought and dead to truth and right, and the dear or,: she leaves behind him who gaatlv puts aside every time theprofi'sred glass, from whose lips fall no blasphemous word or ribald joke, who improves every opportunity of uttering to the young end inexperienced that "word in season" which may, and no doubt often does, prove the turning point in a life who reverenc#s womanhood, and womanly innocence so much as to be wiUing to peril his life to protect and defend them, to whom the aged or theneedy and helpless never appeal in vain who in all places and under all circumstances, is an illustration of the dignity of Christian manhood one who is capable of all this, amid the hardships, the trials and temp ia'iotis of a traveling Plan's life, what

i^t'les with firlf must first have been fought and won, snd what must, be the moral strength to which he b#s attaiued? Such a life is a living sermon, which, in its constant and ever-widening infltienca is more powerful for good than any ever preached from a pulpit. And yet tbia is not an ideal life, existing only in the imagination. Such a life I have known, and snch lives are, no doubt, known to every lady present here tc-day.
No one need wonder, then, that we, who are nearest to them, and know best these modern Kuisjhts of the Grip, whose annnal cruaados in search of the golden fleece of business, actually do mora_ to keep the wheels of commerce moving, and promote the country's prosperity than any other class, and whose chivalric regard tor the ladies has passed into a proverb, should feel it a duty and a pleasure always to defend them against unjust accusations. And so ths tadi whom they so loyally trast to day, say, "God bless the travel ing men." Muy their faces never be clouded with care, nor their steps less elastic than now. May their trade always be good, their homes kind and appreciative, and their salaries never be cut.

HARRY W. GRADY.
A Brief Sketch of tbe Distinguished Southern Kdltor. Mr. Grady's speech at the banquet of the New England society, New York, has made him famous.
The gentleman who made such good use cf his opportunity to speak reprvsontatively for the South, Harry Woodftn Grady, is about 35 ye trs of 8ge. He was boru at Athens, Ga., and educated at the university of his state, which is located in tbe place of his nativity. While in college he was both a good student and an athlete, with the reputation of being the fastest ruaner in the icstitntien. After attendance for a tiua* at the University of Virginia, Mr. Grady began newspaper work. He was on a visit to Atlanta when he volunteered to go as the Constitution's correspondent on a projected excursion. His letters, which appeared one every day for a week, were brilliantly written and attracted attention. For while after this pleasant experience he edited a daily paper in Rome, but in 1871 removed to Atlanta, the progressive metropolis of hig part of the couBtry. There he assisted in the publioation aud editing of the Atlanta Herald, a clever newspaper, conducted with a generosity which led to its discontinuance and the increased success of the Constitution, which had

With money made by hard work and some (peculation—or a biographer mis takes—Grady bought a third interest in the Atlanta Constitution, for which paper he writes with considerable irregularity as to the length of his effusions, bat always with the fluency and cii3pness which ar^ an index to their authorship. His work for the leading magazines is always welcomod by their editors for its "informational" value, and its broad and liberal spirit. Mr. Grady possesses the sympathetic and genial temperament of the orator

THE KISS OF A SEA GULL.
Sot Much t« I'xclte (tie Superstitions, Rat It la a Qanlat Story. Providence Jonrcal.
In the shipping news of Friday morning in this paper was the announcement of tbe death of Seaman Jicomo Tarabocchia, cf the Austrian bark Ukraine, Captain Mircovich, by falling from the foretopgallintsail yard when the bark was about 450 miles off the shore of Saath Carolina. The bark came to this port from Italy with salt consigned to Stephen D. Andrews.
There is a weird tale in regard to the young sailorVdeath—hewas but 23 years old—by tbe "sailors of the Ukraine. It was just before 4 o'clock on the morning of Saturday, December 11, and, as has been said, the bark was far off tbe South Carolina shore. Tarrabocchia was at the wheel. Tbe weather wss clear aud quite cold, aud it was etill in the darker hours of tbe msht. Strangely enough, nt this time, there appeared over the bark a sea gull, and it flnttered and settled slowly downward. It flew toward the sailor at the helm, and at last lighted upon his shoulder, struggling hard to obtain &-foothold there. The s&ilor reached up and toc-k Ihe bird in bis hands. It was a fnll-fle!ged sea gull, as white aa snow. While be looked r.t it thus it stretched out its taper ncck and pressed its beak up to his lips ss if billing with its mate. Tha sailor caressed ji, and finally put it into the bosom of his blouse. It lay still there, the warmth of the spot apparently lulling it to quiet. When eight bells struck, at 4 o'clock, TarabacchSa was relieved. Going forward to the forecastle he clipptd Ibe gull's wings and then went below. The bird neatled by him in bis berth until it was time to Jise again.
That day the gull played aliont the deck, and acted as fully domesticated as a chicken. In the afternoon the bark est and the gnll quarreled, and thequar-r-i! closed in a terrific battle. This resulted in both suffering severe injuries, the cat the worst of the two. Tarrabocchia laughed at them both. He said to the cat ClS if it could understand: "You're never going to gc-l well, you're hurt bad!" And he told the gull that it too would die, be guessed.
That night, a! 11 o'clock precisely, the bark was far cfi the Chesapeake shore It wss jvi-t at the edge of the Gulf Stream. Suddenly a sqsall came up to westward, and the order wns given to furl sails. Tavabocchia went up and waa at work on the iVretopgalkntsail vard, when tho br.rk lurched heavily. He was ubout 138 feet above tho deck. Tho accident, fatal to him, uowhafpencd, Somehow ho fell, and his body, whirling through the air, struck the rsil heavily, and then slid ofl iuto tbe sea. It sank immediately, and WF.S not seen afterward, though every effort to find it was made.
As has been said, this took place at 13 o'clock exactly. At 12 o'clock the injured cat quie !y died, as it i3y on the vanished Bailor's chest in the cabin. Just one hour later, at I o'clock, the sea gull died. It had been taken to Taraboccbia's berth tbat e7fcuiDg, aud the sailors watched the end with strange feeliuge, for front the first the actioss of the white bird had seemed ominious to the bark,
