In Early Onyn.
The Boston Globe gives omo interesting
information concerning commercial travelers
nwny back in the fifties :
"Tho commercial traveler has not always
existed ns ho does to-day. Ho and his busl-
ness nro both growths of rooont years. 1
lave DOOM out on the war-path , with the in- ,
tontlou of finding a man who knowsomcthtng
of the tinio when the drummer' * occupation
wns born in this country. I have found him ,
and ho Is not n very aged son of Adam either.
His bennl U not.pray , neither is his stci |
glow and Infirm ; but , on the contrary , ho is
m the full vigor of u sturdy , ouorgotlo man
hood , at the ugo of Ilfty-flvo years.
"This man's unmo Is Joel O. Page , and ho
an ox-pri-sidont of the Boston 13oot and
Shoo Travelers' league. Ho Is , without
doubt , the first man that sold shoos by exhi
bition of samples to customers In the United
States.
"His first trip out of Boston wns made for
.ho Merchants row house of .lames C. Easter-
jrook , In the nutumn > or 1851) ) . His trip was
node more by accident than by design. Mr ,
L'agc had been working , nlrout the store of
Mr. Eastarbrook durlnc the spring nnd sum
mer of the year when ho inuilo his flrst
venture us a drummer.
"The dropping loaves nnd early frosts of
.ho fall reminded him of the old folks nnd
the plrl that ho had loft behind him up
imong the urccu hills of Vermont , whim ho
came down to the city to labor for his dally
broad. He wanted n vacation , nnd his ro-
juest to his employer that ha might take ono
wns favorably considered.
"Just before starting out for the country
lie requested Mr. Eastorbroolc to allow him
, ho privilege of taking along with him on the
; rip some sample shoes , with the hope that
: io might by tliolr aid succeed in selling n few
Mirs to his acquaintances and friends among
the storekeepers of his native and neighbor
ing towns.
"His employer's reply to his request
was that ho might take as many sain-
lies as ho desired , but that It was ab
surd to think that anyone would buy goods
simply upon the display of a sample of them ,
[ tw.is promised Mr. ljnco , however , that if
no should succeed in making n sale , one-half
of the accruing profits should become his.
"The result of the trip turned out to bo
Most gratifying in every way. A large num.
l > or of shoes and boots were disposed of to
the country dealers , uud the pioneer of nil
commercial travelers returned to Boston at
the close of his ilrst tour with a wcll-llllcd
order book.
"This unexpected end of a venture that
promised so little nt first led to the establish
ment of a regular force of drummers among
the wholesale shoo houses of the city.
To-day n fair conservative estimate gives
the number of men that nro employed us
drummers in this trade interest ulono as at
least 1,600.
"Mr. I'ago , on his semi-annual tours
among the towns In northern ixow England ,
which were made when spring mud and au
tumn's ( gay-colored leaves were on the
ground , ws the only commercial traveler
that took his gripsack loaded with samples
out of Boston for several years.
"During the year 1857 the drummers came
out in considerable numbers , and they have
boon Increasing the size of the busy army to
which they belong ever since. "

ngainst physical odds. Ho { jots nn un-
ubunl amount of pleasure out of life and
gives n great deal to other people , too.
Ho has a sunny disposition and ho
knows how to make people laugh ; the
consequence is that ho is in constant de
mand for public halls and private
houses , and he has not only made a lot
of money , but ho has made a host of
frionds. In this country ho counts
among thorn the late General Grant ,

George Elliot desired above all things

The llfth volume of this series is now
issued , and so far subscribers have
nothing to complain of regarding punc

glvo evidence of exhaustive and
methodical labor. In thcso notes
eiioh main head of jurisprudence ,
touched upon in the case , is taken , nnd
under it the rules of law , as modified by
different propositions of facts are laid
down , with citations to the authorities

OUR LEGATION IN PARIS.
Some Account of Furini'r Members
Air. llclil'fl Now anil Gorgeous Home.
The now United States minister has
taken , at a rental of 4,000 a year , the
Comtusso do Grammont's house in the
Avenue Hocho. The residence has two"
carriage-way entrances , presents an im
posing air , is spacious , and Americans
expect that that it will bo the theater
of sociable entertainments of a nature
to increase respect for the Stars and
Stripes. Says Mrs. Crawford in a Paris
letter to London Truth. In the early
days of the republican partv , to which
Mr. Whitolaw Reid belongs , the United
States legislation used to bo really the
center , too , of American society. There
wore unpleasant intrigues bainir carried
on at the Tuilorios against Jonathan.
The United States muitttar , Dayton ,
could not gather around him the load
ing men in opposition to the empire ;
but Consul ( afterwards minister ) Bigo-
low , thought it a patriotic duty to throw
Ilia house open to them.
Mrs. Bigelowhad nothing short _ of a
genius for promoting sociability. As
fionsulcbs , she was very pretty , very un
affected , arch , original , and never lot
Frenchmen gather at ono- end of her
drawing room and French ladies congregate -
grogato at the ether , but was constantly
shullling her guests up. There was no
display , unless in the dresses of some of
the ladies , and the only expense
gone to was in providing ton.
As ministrcss her drawing room
was a less great success , because
it was filled with pretentious official
people , who gave themselves airs. The
big official personage is too apt in this
country to bo pompously allvo to his
own importance , unless when ho is in
demi-monde society , or perhaps at the
opera house in the foyer du corps do bal
let. General and Mrs. Dix , and their
daughter Kitty , wore hospitable , but
they had not the sweet , unassuming
cordiality of the Daytons. The Wash-
burnos came hero to save money , and
succeeded. General Noycs was minis
ter at a time when , to keep out
of scrapes , ho thought it well to
bo a good deal in North Af
rica. The struggle was going on then
between MacMahon and his ducal friend
on ono side , and Thiors and Gambftta
on the other , and the general felt that
ho could not help sympathizing with
the latter if ho stayed much in Paris.
Ho was not rich enough to ontnrtain
beyond the limit of his salary , ana his
moral courage , ho used to say , was not
equal to the tea-and-turn-out mode of
treating guests. This was a pity , as
ho had high spirits , and his wife was u
nice woman. People who can afford to
feed themselves at homo would not
have asked for more than tea-aud-turn-
out.
out.Tho
The Mortons wore wealthy , hospita
ble and gave very smart parties , but
they wore perhaps too much in the
"high Hfo" part of financial interna
tional society. Mrs. Morton wab affable ,
very beautiful , and , of course , not inson-
bible in this social zono. Her ono defect
as n hostess was not to know how to
shulllo her cards. Liko-to-liko is a bad
rule when ono is trying to have pleas
ant dinners and interesting parties ,
most people of any intelligence prefer
ring to go out in the evening for a
change.
Mrs. Whitolaw Reid , the now United
States mlnistrossis n lady of good men
tal poise and of intellectual culture.
She was much in her girlhood in Cali
fornia , but hns the good Bostoncum-
Now York manner. Still young , she
has an air of native refinement , is free
from all tracoof solf-asbortivo habit and
will take up her position with quiot-
unobtruaivo dignity. There is distinc ,
tion in her manner and mode of dress.
Her figure is slender , not tall ,
and being symmetrical and grace
ful , is what the French call
mignonno. So far , Mrs. Reid ( being in
mourning ) hns dressed in black. She
pins the lace strings of her bonnet with
an enamel brooch representing a clus
ter of violets , on which brilliants stand
for dow drops. Mr. Reid hus quiet gen
iality and is also unassuming. Ho is nn
able newspaper editor. Though notyot.I
should fancy , on the shady side of mid
dle ugo , l.o has done a deal for strays
nnd waifs , and for the infant population
of the close streets of Now
York. His first work , outside of
politics nnd newspaper editing , waste
to send male waifs out west , where
situations wore obtained for thorn as
farm helps. His next work , which still
gees on , was the creation of an opon-nir
fund to board and ledge children of poor
people In farm houses in salubrious lo
calities. The total number of children
sent for several consecutive seasons from
Now York ( whore in summer the heat
is , day nnd night , often that of an even )
would appear BO prodigious that I do not
dare to gi vo it. Chicago lias now taken
up the idea. By the bye , did Mrs.
Jeuno follow the example of Mr. Reid ,
or did Mr. Reid take pattern from Mrs.
Jeuno ?

The 1'olnti ot a Good Butter Cow.
A good butter cow should have a lonp
face , wide between the eyes , the eyes
alert and expressive , nnd placed a lonp
way oolow the horns , says the American
Agriculturist. A cow with eyes near
the top of the head does not know any
more than a man with eyes so placed.
She should have a largo muzlo , a slim
nock and yellow skin , especially inside
the oars ; the breathing .should bo regu
lar , the back and abdomen strong , the
udder wide where it connects with the
body , the teats squarely placed anil the
tail'slim. . Over and above all these
points , she must have the dairy form.
The points at best are only indications.
The dairy form is insnparatoly con
nected with a good butter cow. The
desirable dairy form is always soon in
the best typos of Jerseys. Guernseys ,
Ayrshircs and Ilolstoins. The best
beef form is. presented in the Short
horns , Ilcrofords and most of the
polled breeds. The intelligent dairy
man , witha knowlodco of born experi
ence , desire and cifpacity for the busi
ness , never makes the mis.tako ol
choosing hiscow with a hoof form.
While it is notdillicultfor a dairyman
with a knowledge of his business to
select a cow that will make ton pounds
of butter u wcok , provided always that
such cow is within the drove or herd
ho is insijocting , cows that will make
fourteen pounds of butter u week are
not to bo'found in the droves that are
driven about for sale. Such COWH are
seldom for sale except at brooders'
prices. A novice might by 'ohaneo
select a cow that was making ton
pounds of butter a week under the right
treatment , yotif ho Itopt her in a cold
stable and gave her ice water to drink
and fed her on timothy hay and ground
barley and corn meal , all of which are
lacking in protein , the cow would soon
run down to three and ono half pounds
a week nnd stay there , or make loss wid
loss. Another man who know his busi
ness might have selected the same cow
and Icopt her in n warm stable , glvon
warm water , warm ensilage made from
sweet corn well matured , two or three
pounds of clover hay and a plentiful
supply of wheat bran or middlings ,
ground oats nnd peas , or a little oil
meal or any ether food containing pro-
toln In liberal proportion , and the cow
would probably have Increased to
twelve pounds a wcok if her limit per
mitted.
