cense of "Tourgueneft in FarU," published
in The Century, with a portrait from life:
"It wai at tlili period tlint we conceived the
Idea of monthly gathering at which we
friend should meet; it was to lie called 'the
Flaulwrt dinner.' or 'the dinner of binned au
thorn.' Flaubert belonged to it by right of

Zola with 'Uouton de Rose,' De Ooncourt
with 'Henrietta Marechal.' Emilo do Ulr
anlln wished to ilip into our group; but
though he liad been heartily hissed at the
theatre, he wai not a writer In our m ime of
the word, and we excluded him. Ai for
Tourgueneff, he gave ui hli word that he had
been hissed in Russia; and aa It waa very far
off, none of ui went to tec.
"Nothluir can be more delightful than
' these friendly taut, where you talk In per

Mnearlng at the Mule.
A Coil deal of attention ha recently been
paid among student of animal intelligence
to the power of comprehension of huuuin
spoevh shown by certain of the lower order
(if creation. The foregoing anecdote is told
in supHrt of the theory that uiulenitandlng
I due to the effect of tone rather than
words, and that such is the case would seem
to lie Indicated by the tichavior or mule un
der tbe stimulus of a professional "swearer."
Who that ha heard a western plainsman
"wear" a mule team out of a slough can for
get the cumulative effect with which tlie
climax is reached. It Is said that on some
much-traveled route there are certain driv
ers who are sent for In case of trouble simply
liccauM) they can "persuade" more work out
of a mule team than the combined lashings
of all Ui rest of the train can whip out of
them.
It must be atmlttel, however, that the
coie of English In the way of plcturempi
sweating is vastly wider than that of any
other language, of civilisation. We do not
say this In ajnilogy fur the ungeutlemanly
and wholly inexcusable vice of vulgar pro
faulty, but because it affords an example of
the siierior flexibility of English as a form
of speech. We doubt if there is any other
language whose current coiu of expletive
can lie lined with any effect on a western
mule team. The oaths of French, Hermans
and Italians are coniiarativey harmless, and
are capable of but few variations, Kngllsh,
therefore, may .wsihly be the most compre
hensible to the animal creatlou, simply be
cause ot the readincNi with which It lends it

New Tork Time.
A plainly but richly dressed gentleman, of
pcposseing appearance and quiet, unas
suming manners, boarded a train on the
rlixtb avenue elevated road at Franklin street
the other evening He was recognized by a
Time reporter as one of the best paid
"drummers" In the country. Thore
was something in his appearance that was not
familiar, however. Tbe inevitable accompani
menu of one of hi clam, the silk skull
cap and the "grip-sack" were mining. In
tbelr place be had a formidable bundle of
newspaper and magazine. There were, in
addition to cople of several of the daily
papers, Issue of Tbe Irish Nation, Tbe Inde
pendent, The American Review, Tbe Free
man' Journal, Harper Bazar, The Chruch
man, The Clipr, Tbe Baptist Weekly, and
varlou trade Journal aud reviews. The
collection wa remarkable because of the
widely differing character of tbe publica
tions and the topic of which they made a
specialty.
"About to start a news tandr" asked the
reporter of hi friend, a be sat dowu b ide
him.
"No."
"Going to become an editorr
"No. Pm still In the same old line, selling
clothing for the million at price utterly be
yond competition."
"What iu the world are you doing with all
those papers, then! Surely they can't be a
part of your stock in trade your sainplesP
"No, they're not sample, but they are a
part of my stock In trado, and a very Import
ant part."
"Will yon tell me what part they ploy In
the sale of shoddy trousersf
"Yes, I will reveal a trado secret, and ona
that I consider a very valuable one. I read
every one of those papers nearly every week,
and a great many more not Included in the
list you here. I read a many pier
each week, in all probability, as due the
editor of any daily pajier, anil in addition I
keep up with the current literature of the day
and with all theatrical, musical, and sporting
event, and am constantly "cramming" up
ou the prlnclal event of the day at home
aud abroad. It is bard work, as you can
well imagine, but I believe It to be necessary,
and also believe that It pays. I know It has
paid me.
"When I wont Into the business of a com
merclal traveler I Intended to make a success
of it You know that I have done it 1 had
a love for the business. Most men in tbe
profession, for I hold that when tho business
is properly done It rise to tlie dignity of a
profusion, devoted thelrleisiire time to story
telling, billiard-playing, and other recrea
tions. I nuute up my mind to master the
business, so that I could uot only get, but
keep customer. This was a score of years
ago, I noticed that a customer was more
pleased to meet a drummer who could talk
Intelligently uxm sonm subject in which he
was interested than one whose merits, outside
his samplo trunk, consisted of his ability to
tell a good story ami to buy unlim
ited cigars And drinks. Ho I lie'im

a suHrfleiat knowledge of every
thing, and 1 read both sid.H politically. The
new iii)ein of those days didn't treat matters
so fully or intelligently as they do to-day.
Consiyiieiitly I supplemented the informa
tion. 1 got there by reading weekly (mpors
or well-conducted monthly publications
and (piarterlioi which treated special topics
exhaustively. I had both European and
American politics, and social, sectional, reli
gious, lliiuncial, and a hundred other topics
at my linger' and tongue's ends. If I ha I a
customer iu view I found out his peculiar
hobby, called on him and bilked atmiit Ilia
hobby. That pleased him. He became a
goodlly for this very greedy spider. Of
oouiw, I didn't forget to nilnglo with my
swialty as a heavy man the low comedy ele
ment that Is, the story telling and joke
cracking. Nor did I neglect tbe
social irt of my duties-that's what we
call cigars and drinks. The schems
worked admirably and paid well. I got new
customer and hold them, because I kept ace
with them on their particular hobby. Home
of them, I really believe, were glad to see me
come around. I gave up my salaried pool
tion and wer.t to work on commission. The
general plan worked so well that in every
city I visited I made it a point to read the
daily aiers thoroughly for their lix-al new
alone before I visited a customer. Ho tar as
I could while flying alsmt the country I kept
track of what were distinctively matters of
Interest to particular localities only. That
paid, too. It pleased customers, because it
made them think I was interested Iu their
cities aud localities,
"My experiment had convinced me that
the newsiapers were the great educators, and
from them I managed to keep posted on art,
literature, the science, and the thousand and
one topics with which I deemed It ueoossarv
to keep acquainted to meet the aa mviy dif
ferent hobbies of my customers. There were
among my victims a large nunilier of Ger
mans and Frenchmen, and I wanted to culti
vate their trade, so I went to work as metho
dically as I had done in my newspaper scheme
and studied llh languages, and now I speak
Ixith, and have added to my list of paHra

other way, too. My knowledge of these

assx-iato drummer are concerned. Some of
those are of tieruian and French birth, and
are specially engaged to handle that tin le in

Man v times a revelation of their plans has been

forestall a rival that I feared In a particular
locality and didn't fear in another. For in

route for my trip, and because ot a chance

"A pipe! It Is a great comforter, a pleas

breath! It ripen the brain; it opens the
heart, and the man who smoke thinks like a

Lord Lytton, who may have been right, and
niay have been wrong, though judicious peo
ple will have no desire to see smoking made
the tost of wisdom and virtue. The ancient
did uot indulge in tbe habit, and appear to
have enjoyed themselves fairly well without

North American Indian name of tobacco.
Could some Hellenic Jean Nlcot, or Latin
Walter Raleigh have taught the Greeks and
Romans the seductive practice, Alclbiades
and the Athenian dandle would assuredly
have puffed cigar ttoa, and Horace, in dressing-gown
and slippers, sitting in an ivory
chair beside his Bandusian fountain, would
have watched the delicate blue wreaths curl

while Seneca, as much man of tbe world a

A II u ice Exuberance.
I apprehend that at the present moment
there is no question more interesting to the
American lieople than their newspaper press.
H has become a huge exuberance of the day,
like Gulliver making his advent into Lm-
tmtia. It can not be tied down, and it Is dan
gerous when it stands up. When it relieves
itself iu the ordinary operations of nature
tlie scandal is like the sun in heaven. Iu New
York the increase of newspaper is entirely
induced by avarice. The reduction of the
price of apers there is nothing but a matter
of avarice. The old citadels of prosperity are
being assaile l in every way. The attack is
not only directed on the prosperous 4-cent
and 3-cent patters, but on the prosperous
cent paper, and the tendency is to wIjmj out
the penny papers entirely. Yet, in the long
run, that channel which best serve tne put)

"There goe another manufactured blonde!
Cegad I don't understand tbe fancy that
makes woman, whom nature ha fashioned
In fair and decent form, change themselves
into the counterfeit of other beings. I know
tlie blonde style is In vogue, and some of
them look pretty, too, with their golden locks
and innocent, ingenue air, but it's all deceit
deceit both in the hair and complexion lteelf
and the air and grace, however natural.
Blonde women are the most dangerous kind.
There is no steady harm in women who are
passionate. They may kill, you, or run off
with another man, but their acta are Impulses
and the creature thereof; there is no set
tled calculation in them. But a cool woman,
who can act from forethought, ud says
what she intends to do, and afterward does
it, is to be avoided. Yes, that class are al
ways blondes,"

soul are a false as the physical appearance.
But wby do I object to bleached hair and
calcimined faces) Because tbe women that

possess. O, I know that poet ing the praise
of fair-baired heroines, and angels are al
ways dressed that way. They all write that
way. but hbtory Is a better guide than
poetry."
"Give mean Instance."
"Mary Stuart, she came to Scotland, only
19 years old, with but two purpose in her
heart. She was young, beautiful, with blue
eyes and buir like shimmering sunbeaivs, and
a voice so low, melodious and full or cnarra
that it rivaled the sirens who lured Ulywesto
an attempted fate. Do you suppose a bru
nette would have lived her lifef Could the
impulses that usually urge on a young and
guileless girl have led to the schemes and
plot which finally resulted in Mary Stuart's
death J Her attempt was to dethrone Eliza
beth and overthrow the reformation. ' But
Mary acted from Impulses, you say. What
were they? When she yielded to Bothwell it
was with an idea to political advantage. She
could combine the baser and the loftier pas
sions and merge them both into one more ig
noble than all.
"Elizabeth was a blonde, too. Take Lady
Macbeth. True, she was only a vision of
Shakespeare, but Shakesxare was a reader
of types of humanity such as we have never
known. He soys that Caliban's mother, Sy
coras, was a 'blue eyed hag,' and look at
Maclxfth's story. She drives Malcolm to call
her 'fiend-like,' and the ouly holy passion that
sho has, her love for her husband, and her de
sire to better his fortunes, she follows out
with a cool, calculating jx;rsistence, which,
being totally divorced from all sense of honor
and uprightness, leads her only to final woe
and drives bim to the commission of his aw
ful deeds.
"Thackeray pictures Rebecca Shnrp a
blonde, and surely you would never lxk for
her characteristics among olive cheeks, blnck
ringlets, and eyes where the iris melts In the
shadow of darkly-shadowing fringes, Char
lotte Conlay's eyes were 'blue when she re
flected, almost blnck when called into play,'
and her hair 'seemed gold-colored at the
poiuts of the tresses, like the ear of corn
(lcexr and more lustrous than the wheat
stalk in the sunlight.' Helen Jegado, who
murdered twenty-five persons In her lifetime,
was a blonde of the purest tyx, and there
was a persistency about her cruelty, a calcu
lating, fur-seeing subtlety, that has no equal
outside of Milton's conception of the devil.
Ninon de l'Euclos and Mine, do Chevreuse,
who outwitted two cardinals, were blondes
lso, while Catherine do Medicis was azure
evecl, with sparkling hair and face like pearl
and silver. They were smooth-tongued' and
lieautiful to look UKn, these women, but
tliuir plots undermined courts and camps
and pulled dowu to destruction many brave
hearts."
"But the lack of the qualities that made
these women infamous would also make them

"Of course; but why should women be
strong. Let the mau be strong. Adam fell
liecause of bis weakness, and not because Eve

refused to obey him. For this she was driven
from the Garden of Eden, aud Eve was made
to order out ot one ot Adam's ribs. Then the
i'olden-haired Lilith jealous, enraged, pining

of a serpent, crept 'nto the garden, and
tempted Adam and Eve to their destruction
And from that day to this Lilith, the cold,
passionless beauty with golden bair, has
roamed up and down the earth, snaring the
sons of Adam and destroying them. You
