THE DRdlHUIEB.

[Texas Siftfngs.J

The drummer inhabits railroad trains. He is always at home on the cars. He also temporarily infests the beet rooms in hotels. In winter he wears an ulster, with the surcingle hanging loose behind, and in summer a linen duster.

He is usually swung to a satchel containing a comb and brush, another shirt, a clean celluloid collar, and a pair of cufls also a railroad guide, and a newspaper wrapped around a suspicious looking bottle. That is about all the personal baggage he carries, except a Seaside Library novel, and a knife with a corkscrew in the back of it. He has a two-story iron-bound trunk containing "sambles of dein goots," which he checks through to the next town.

He always travels for a first-class house—the largest firm in their line of business in the United States, a firm that sells more goods and sells them cheaper than any two houses in the country. He is very modest about stating these facts, and blushes when he makes the statement, but he makes it nevertheless, probably as a matter of duty,

He can talk on any subject, although he may not know much about it, but what little he knows he knows, and he lets you know that he knows it. He may be giving his views on the financial policy of the British government, or he may only be telling you of what, in his opinion, is good for a boil, but he will do it with an air and atone that leaves the matter beyond dispute.

He is at home everywhere, and he never seems out of place wherever you find him, although we do not remember ever to have found him in church. Sitting on his grip sack at a way-station, waiting for a train six hours behind time, ana abusing the railroad officials from brakesman to president, with a profuse and robust profauity that gives the air a sulphurous odor for miles around, he seems in perfect keeping with the surroundings. The scene would be as incomplete without him as a horse race without a yellow dog on the track.

When

the drummer gets into a rail

road train, if aloue, he occupies two seats. One he sits on, and on the other he piles up his baggage audovercoat, and tries to look as if they didn't belong to him but to another man who had just stepped into the smoking-car and would be back directly.

Drummers are usually found in pairs •or quartettes on the cars. They sit together in a double-seat, with a valise on end between them, on which they play euchre and other sinful games. When they get tired of flaying they go out in the smoking-car, where the man who is traveling for a distillery "sets 'em up" out of his sample case, and for an hour or two they swop lies about the big bills of goods they have sold iu the last town they were in, tell highly seasoned stories about their personal adventures, and exhibit to each other the photographs of the last girls they made impressions on.

While the drummer is not oaten ta-' tiously bashful, neither does he assume any outward show of religion. Hiaj

fis

reat love of truth ia, however,

strong points, and he is never known, to go beyond actual facta, except in the matter Of excessive baggage. Regarding this, he will sometimes stretch a point until it will coTer up two hundred pounds of a three hundred pound trunk. He i* the only man who aares to address hotel clerks by their Christian names. He knows every hotel in the country, and every room in every hotel. When he arrives by a late tram he is first to get out-of the 'bus and reach the clerk's desk, when he says to the clerk: "Hello, Charley, old fel, how are you? Got No. 16 for me?" and the clerk flashes his Kohinoor and a smile on him as he shakes his hand, pounds the nickle-plat-ed call-bell, and shouts: "John, take the gentleman's baggage to No. 16."

In the dining* room the drummer is a favorite with the colored waiters, although he orders more dishes, and finds more fault with the fare, than other guests do. He does not believe the waiter when he tells him that the milk is all out, but sends him off to enquire further about the matter, and while the waiter is gone he fills up his glass out of the blue milk in the cream pitcher. He flirts with the chamber maids, teases th^ bootblacks, and plays practical jokes on the regular boarders. He goes to bed at a lateliour, and sleeps so soundly that the porter wakes up the people for two blocks around, and shakes the plaster ofi the wall, in trying to communicate to him the fact that too 'hue for the 4:20 a. m. train will fttKt ia leu minutes.

The drummer baa much to worry and fret him. Traveling at night to save time, sleeping in a baggage car or the1 caboose of a Jreight-train, with nothing but his ear for a pillow, bumping over rough roads on stages and buckboards, living on corn bread and coffee dinners in cross-roads hotels yet under all these vexatious circumstances he is usually good humored and in the best of spirits, although he sometimes expresses his feelings regarding the discomforts of travel, and the toughness of a beefsteak, or the solidity of a biscuit, in a language that one would never think of attributing to the author of Watts' hymns.

All kinds of improbable stories are told about drummers, some of them being almost as improbable as they themselves tell. For instance, we once heard that a man saw a drummer in the piney woods of North Carolina camping out under an umbrella. "What are you doing here?" "1 am camping, and living on spruce gum to save expenses," replied the drummer. "What are you doing that for?" "To bring up the average."

It seems that the firm allowed him a certain sum per day for expenses, and by

riotouB

living he had gone far beyond

bis daily allowance. By camping out under an umbrella and living on spruce gum for a few days the expenses would be so small as to offset the previous excess he had been guilty of. This story is probably a fabrication.

The chief end and aim of the drummer is to sell goods, tell anecdotes, and circulate the latest fashionable slang phrase. If he understands his business, the country merchants might as well capitulate at once. There is no hope too forlorn, nor any country merchant too surly or taciturn, for the drummer to tackle. Our illustration at the head of this column shows the country merchant under the influence of the drummer. That same merchant, not long ago, loaded up a double-barreled shot gun with nails, with the intention of vaccinating the first drummer who entered his store. The commercial emissary represented in the picture has only been talking to him for fifteen minutes. In that time he has told the old man four good jokes, paid him five compliments on his business ability and shrewdness, propounded two connundrums, and came very n^ar telling the truth once. As a result, tb$ sanguinary old man is in an excellent humor, and just about to make out an order for $600 worth of goods that he doesn't actually nrod, ana then he will go out and take .-'.drink with the drummer.

The drummer is'tlie growth ol this fast age. Without him the car of commerce would creak slowly alone. He is an energetic and genial cuss, ana we hope that he will appreciate this notice and the fact that we have suppressed an almost uncontrolable impulse to sa thing about his cheek.

Parallel int* the Ground. [Pall Mall Gazette.]

That rare bird, "a practical theorist,* writes 'to the Egyptian Gazette to announce a great historical discovery. "Thomas Elshaw, practical theorist," for that is his name and superscription, has discovered that French history is an exact reproduction of English history 131 or 144 years after date.

He begins his camparison with the persecution of the Lollards in England, in 1414, which was followed 141 years later by the persecution of the Yaudois, in France. The Wars of the Rosea, which began with the battle of St. Albans, in 1455, and closed with the battle of Bosworth, in 1485, had their counterpart 135 years later, in the French civil war, which began with the battle of Arques, in 1589, and ended with the pacification of 1620. But his theory ia most cleary shown by printing some of Ins dates in parallel columns: 1034. Ship money 1778. Necker's filevied IG40. Charles escap's to the Scots. 1G49. Charles beheaded. 1653. Cromwell Protector. i* 1660. Restoratiofi of monarchy. 1688. Revolut'n and accession of junior branch.) Mazarin followed Wolsey a4 140 years' distance and an equaL term separatee Shakspeare from Voltaire. Algena was founded 145 years after the English conquest of India. Therefore, Thomas Elshaw predicts that Fnutoe will be troubled by pretenders till 140 years after 1760, when England was free from their presence—that is to say, till 1900. Dueling, he adds, will not become ex* tinet in France till 1976 or 1989. This Alexandrian philosopher^ with his "practical theory of prophetical arithmetic, will do well to remain in Egypt, where he is more likely to be appreciated than in Paris, where Victor Hugo and others have fostered the delusion that France, instead of lagging "131 to 144 years" behind England, is at least as many years thead of the rest of the world.. ~fo-1 #3, «wf.

It is indeed wonderful that chemists are able to change common sawdust into new and unlike substances, as sugar, oxalic acid, and powerful explosive agents.

The waste product, which artisans are glad to get rid of without charge can be so transformed in the laboratory as to serve the purpose of sugar in a cup of coffee at the breakfast table, or as a sharp and poisonous acid, useful in removing tarnish from the brass andirons in the fireplace, or as a substance which is capable of rending rocks with terrific force. Jt is only when such positive and practical results are accomplished by chemists that the popular mina is awakened to a full realisation of the mightfr work dona by toilers in the laboratory.

An Intliaaiastic Greeting—Speeches :.: of Welcome and an Eloquent response-

Bemarkt by Colonel N- Hudson and Wm- E- McLean and Senator Voorhees'

Heply.

On account ot the bad weather yesterday evening the reception accorded to Senator Voorhees was held at Oriental Hall. At a quarter before eight o'clock the Ringgold band, MeKeen Cadets, Land League Club and some foity or fifty exsoldiers marched to the Terre Haute House and escorted the Senator to the hall, where there was assembled a crowd so laree that the hope of all getting in was abandoned. The hall was packed full, a hundred or more standing, and many were obliged to leave for want of even standing room. The meeting was called to order by Maurice Haggerty, who announced N.G. But!' 88 president of the meeting.

On motion M. C. Rankin and Geo. H. Purdy were elected vice-presidents. On assuming the chair Mr, Buff said:

LADIES AWTO GENTLEMEN—'This elegant and enthusiastic demonstration has more than a single significance. It has a double meaning. It not only means that the friends and neighbors of Senator Voorhees extend to him a hearty welcome and enthusiastic greeting, but that his recent utterances in the Senate meet with the same hearty approval at home as throughout the country. It means that his utterances are appreciated and when we say this it likewise means the widespread disapproval of the conduct of our minister to England and of the government solar as it has sustained his course. We therefore have met to extend to Senator Voorhees our congratulations, and in order to do so there are others than your bumble servant who will apeak. I have the pleasure »f introducing to you Col. R.N. Hudson.

COL. HUDSON'S ADDRESS.

SENATOR VOORHEES:—I am deputed, as the representative of ihe Irish Land League of this city, to welcome ywu to your home and'your friends. This duty is doubly pleasing, because it gives me much pleasure personally, and affords the League a proper opportunity to tbank you for the bold and patriotic position taken by you in the Senate of the United States, in demanding a speedy trial or an immediate discharge of American citizens confined in British prisons. We are proud in having the privilege of thanking you for that speech in defence of-the right/)!' citizenship and the rights of man. It was courageously spoken, at the proper time and in the proper place. It would have been a disgrace to every American citizen within the va bounderies of the Republic, had the Government remained longer silent, when American citizens wexe deprived of their liberty by a foreign government, without trial and without sufficient reason. If there is one personal right, more dear than another to an American, it is the right of citizenship, that constitutional right which follows him wherever he goes, and shields and protects him wherever he may be. In defense of this right of citizenship, you have spoken, in your place, in the equate of'.he Nation, ably, eloquently and courageously. For. this we thank you.

It is unnecessary for me, Senator, at this time, to refer you to the continued oppressions which have been from year to year, and from century to century, imposed upon the Irish people by the British government. They fill some of the blackest pages in the world's history. From their perusal the student of history turns with a sad heart, and a apirit at wax with tyranny and oppression everywhere.

I will aotr* therefor^ detail oa this occasion the long and continuous train Of abvses aod usurpstioas the Irishman his been forced to endive from the English-

How the poor tenant farther has

been rohbedigfcthj* product a of hislabdr, in order that a fowi olaiining ownership t« the soil, may revel in aU ihe luxuries the world can afford, flow English lawa have been made to g-ive protection to Englishmen, and to despoil and rob Irishmen. How the sons of Emerald Isle have been deprived of their national rights— the innate, absolute, unquestionable right of every man ,to bring forth from the soil, by the sweat of his brow, sufficient to support, educate and clothe himself and lamtiy. There is no power that has the right'to deprive a man of this, and whenever any power, any government or any organization Qf men, attempts to deprive a hutnan being of this right, that power, government or organization should be overthrown, and one more in sympathy with human rights and absolute justice organized. It is not necessary, Mr. Senator, that 1 should point out how the poor of Ireland have been driven, by a merciless landlordism, from their lonely huts and forcel to starve on the very prolific soil where they were born. How the English Government, by her laws, gives protection to a small number of absent landlords, who annually swoop down upon the poor Irish tenant, and vulture like rob him of the very products of his labor which are necessary to his .support and his life. r* i:

To recount til such neart^aching facts on this occssion might become tiresome and would certainly only be rehearsing what you are familiar with, and what are known to every reader of passing events. But to think of them stirs the deepest fountains ot the human heart, and not to

41:^,-' "~f

in their present struggle to ODtricatelbeaaselves from this terrible ©ppR»sicm. sod wrong, is it to le wondered that an Iri-h-American would now and then find, his way to his native home, and having learned lessons of personal liberty and the individual equality of man in this country, be found battling for the same freedom and equality on the soil of the Emerald Isle. If he would not, ho is less than an Irishman, and if he did not. he is not worthy of being an American citizen.

It affords me personally, special pleasure and pride that a few Irish American citizens did find their way across tbe ocean, and did give "aid and comlort" to the Celt in bis struggle to secure to himself, and to those who come after him, the enjoyment of natural rights, and when they were arrested, under English laws, and thrown into English prisons we thank you, sir, that as a Senator o, the United States, you demanded that they be discharged or tried. They were not tried, but they will be'discharged.

As citizens of the American Republic, whose imperious destiny we believe is not only to cecure personal freedom and equaiity of political rights to all her citizens, but extend, as far as possible the enjoyment ot those natural rights to all men, we are in heart-throbbing sympathy with the Irishman, where oppression by the English Government is so cruel, so unjustifiable and so unchristian that it cries abroad to the civilization of the age for redress. And while we deprecate in the most earnest manner the resoit to the assassins' means for redress, we can not shut our eyes to the circumstances which justify us in believing that the means thus resorted to are tbe legitimate consequence of the long train of abuses and usurpations to which tbe Irish race have been subjected for centuries. The instinct ot the worm wben trod on and pressed into the earth asserts its natural right and turns upon and strikes its oppressor.

In conclusion, Mr. Senator, permit me to present to yon the following resolution pasted by tbe Irish Land League ot this city at its last meeting:

Learning that our distinguished Senator, Hon. D. W. Voorhees, is about to return to his home to spend a few days among his many friends, and being desirous of expressing to him our hearty approval of hi9 course while a member of the United States Senate, and more particularly in his bold and courageous defense of the rights of American citizenship, and his imperative demand that American citizens confined in foreign prisons be immediately brought to trial or at once discharged, therefore, be it

Resolved, That we, members of the Irish Land League of the city of Terre Haute, do join with other citizens in exlending to him a welcome to his home and friends, wih the plaudit, well earned, of "Well dona, thou good and faithful servant.''

It is not improper for me to say, Mr. Senator, that this resolution was passed without one dissenting voice.

At the conclusion of Col. Hudson's reparks Mr. Buff said: A few days ago a crippled soldier came to my office to consult as to the necessary steps to secure his pension, and upon examination of bis papers 1 found his petition bore" the name of Senator Voorhees.

Mr. Buff then introduced Col. Wm. E. McLean, who on behalf of tbe soldiers, epoke as followe:

COL. MCLBAN'8 ADDRESS.

MB. VOORHEES—On this cold, bleak ard unpleasant night, with everything out doorsso uninviting, one hundred soldiers who wore the blue, and whose steps have kept time to the music of the Union, are here to night to join in the welcome just extended you. A number of your old friends and neighbor*, without distinction as to party, and animated certainly by no partisan considerations, some of whom were soldiers in our Mexican war, and others Union soldiers in the war of the Rebellion, soldiers of two wars—have requested me—now a private in their ranks, in their behalf and in their name, to join with your Irish friends aud fellow oitizens upon this occasion and extend to you their cordial welcome, their hearty greeting to your home. They desire more particularly, however, that I shall convey to you their sincere thankg, that I shall express for them and in their name their high appreciation of the noble and patriotic stand which you have taken upon the floor of the Senate in advocacy of measures in which they, in common with many veteran soldiers, of the country have a deep personal interest, especially in reference to the various measures of pension legislation, which have recently been pending belore the National Congress. I am delegated by them to say that your active efforts in behalf of some of them ind ividually, as well as your eloquent and earnest championship of the most humane and liberal legislation by Congress upon tbe subject of pensions, jour recognition of the paramount claims of the soldier upon the bounty of his government, these things they will sJways remember with feelings

hey will always remember with feelhi )f the liveliest gratitude and emotion. If sometilMs in pain and in porertr, maimed, helpless and neglected, the soldier is tempted to think theirs is a hard lot and men and their country ungrateful, they are always willing to thank those who by their actions show to the world that they feel that the soldier has earned his honors, has earned his claim to the bounty of his government by the highest services which a citizen can render to his countiy. They are glad to know and to feel that you, their fellow citizen, whom in days that are past they have honored by their confidence, are not one ot those who would make hard and bitter the lives of men who have served their country, at pains and perils which would have appalled the stoutest hearts of many of the selfdenying heroes ot caucus and Congress. A countiy which would preserve its liberties and would transmit those liberties unimpaired to posterity cannot be too liberal to tbe men whose heroism saved the constitution, the unity of the states, and the honor and power of the nation and let me further say to you, Mr. Sena tor, that a countiy which would fail to cherish and protect, by a fatherly care, the familiea of the men, who fall fighting initscanse, is unworthy to remain a free nation. Again in the name of my soldier comrades I extend to your cordial greeting. ,c

speak b#| a few words, but they will be from my heart. This is a representative government, and the proudest thing that can fall to the lot of a public man. is an occasion like this, for nothing can be sweeter than the breath of approval.

Col. Hudson, let me say to you that words from your lips have never fallen so pleasingly upon my ear as they have to-night. Let me revert to the two subjects in their older (tbe Irish acd pension claims questions). My countrymen, 1 am happy to know that my conduct in regard to the two subjects, meets with your approval.

When I spoke in behalf of Mr. McSweenev, who is imprisoned in Kilmainham jail, I spoke for the riehts of American citizens. It is not an Irish question not a German question, but an American question. In this country our people came from every clime fought on every field from Bunker Hill to "iorktown and we cannot afford to allow the fruits of their labors to be forfeited by our neglect to protect American citizenship. It happened that I spoke on the floor of the Senate in favor of a man long and favora bly known in Calfornia. He had lived there twenty-five years, and to-night lies in Kilmainham jail because he will not take bis liberty upon conditions. But had ha only touched upon our shore, and (were it possible) in that short time had taken citizenship, I would have spoken for him just the same. It is doctrine which we have long since established aud taught England to respect, that a man on board our ships is protected by our flag—and there have been no more seizures and searches ol our vessels. So it shall be upon our land. The man who takes out papers of naturaliz»tion shall be protected in his rights of citizenship. Short of this we should be unworthy of existence as a nation and would dishonor the graves dug by our Revolutionary fathers. The trouble is we are not living up to the doctrines of our government. I am not here to recount the bitter things said upon the floor of the Senate about our minister who is Misrepresenting us at the court of St. James, but I would call your attention to his way of putting tbe case when he said: "Let Mr. McSweeney be tried and if he be found innocent—mark you, if he be found innocent—set him at liberty thus throwing the presumption upon the side of his guilt.

The recent assassination in the public park at Dublin, where it was light and people were passing upon all sides, is still a mystery. No one knows who did it. I do not approve of assassination, but let me tell you that England, for the last seven hundred years, has been guilty of assassination. Is it more assassination to stab with the bloody, reeking knife than that which kills hundreds of thousands of women and children than that oppression which brings about such a #tate of affairs that less than thirty vears ago people were perishing in Ireland for the want of three grains of corn daily Oppression, wrong, cruelty breed death, audit will be so as certainly as the dynamite bursts up the rock beneath which it is exploded. Take away the oppression and there will be no assassination. Take it away and the killing will cease. The good book, that is wiser than all other books, tells us that what you sow you shall reap. England is reaping what she has sown. I challenge any man

dispute what 1 say. When

the government deals justly by the people says to families, "Gather about your firesides and build your homes," there will be no discontent. But where the right to own the soil is denied, and there is a crowbar in every landlord's house to tear down the little mud cabin of the tenant as soon as a pound's rent is overdue, there will be discontent and (rouble. But the question has been brought before the bar ot public opinion, and on trial before this mighty tribunal tbe right will prevail. We cannot see just how it will be, but it will be. As the great intellectual giant. Webster, said, public opinion is stronger than the wind it is stronger than the waves, and England cannot withstand its force. The repression act, now pending in the Commons, is another page in the record of oppression it is another coercion act, rubbing out that great and sacred right of trial by jury. Do they expect peace from such legislation? You might as well expect peace when you rise before the throne of the Almighty and deny every law that he has made.

But I am dwelling upon this subject too long, and my tellow countrymen of Irish birth, I turn from your ereat cause to the topic presented by Col. McLean and in this matter I arrogate no merit to myself. I only did my duty what I love to do what I find pleasure in doing. We are all getting older. Col. McLean, Mr. Buff, Col. Hudson and I are all older than w6 were when we have met on other occasions, and I am happy to meet them now on a no-party platform. I have been a pretty good party man and no doubt I may be again but did any one ever know md to step and inquire the

riiticsof a soldier? No I didn't care his politics. I knew him to be' a aoldier fy his walk knew him by his scars knew he had fought for his country, and when a ptor soldier eame limping to me I dWat stop to inquire how the war came abont, who was to blame &c, but when a set of men who thought nobody should have much money but themselves, sought to interfere with his rights, I defended his cause. And let me say just a word about frauds. I am well acquainted with the course of pro ceeding required for the procurement of pensions, and my firm conviction is that for every person who secures a pension that he is not entitled to, there are twenty persons entitled to pensions who never get them.

Only a word more. In this Re publican government of ours it is a glad thing to receive evidence of having done something worthy ol approval, ^nd I am glad to meet here to-night those who give me this kind testimonial of their approbation. What I have done 1 shall continue to do, bet lay no claim to honor for the performance ot' my duty, and if, when at last I come to pass away from this sphere of action can hear the voice of approval as I have heard it to-night, I ahall be happy. 1 shall return to theSenate next week with renewed strength and courage for the performance of my duties.
