SQUEEZING THE HAND. Il is but late
" that we have understood the strange
constructions that are sometimes put up
on squeeze of the hand. With some
persons, it is entirely equivalent to dec
laration of love; this is very surprising
indeed. We must take hold OF lady's
hand, as we would of hot potatoe afraid
10 give it squeeze, least it should burn
our fingers. Very fine truely! Now it
was our ancient custom to squeeze every
hand we got in out clutches, especially
a fair one. Is it not wonder that we
have never been sued for breach prom
Use! We would not give scuPPaT nail
for one of your cold, formal shakes of the
hand. Every person who protrudes one
or two fingers for you to touch, las if he
were afraid of catching some disorder
should 90 to school to John @. Adams.
He shakes your hand with vengeance
and shakes your whole body with it un-
less you happen to be as thick set as him
self. Well there is nothing like tit
shows good heart at any rate and we
would rather man would crush the
bones Of our fingers and shake our should
er out of joint, than he should poke out
a reluctant paw, as he were to come in
contact with bear or hyena. The la
dies may rest assured of this, that a man
who will not squeeze their hand when he
gets hold of it, does not deserve TO have
such hand in his possession-and that
he has heart seven hundred and forty
nine times smaller than the smallest grain
of mustard seed.

Upon the subject of the Electors in New Y ork,
and the Encouragement of the Albany Regency,
so called, the Dutchess Republican "a Jackson pa
per, be it remembered) holds the following Ian
guage:
"Thc regency think they carry the Jackson
electoral ticket without help, and have resolved
That they want no man to vote for Jackson unless
at the same time he will vote for the entire regency
ticket. There is an insolcnce in this which may
work more and farther than they expect; need
they be surprised TO find many acting the
hint. The Herkimcr convention will soon he held,
and by its proceedings VIC can plainly learn what
course the regency mean 10 pursue. Should they
continue, they have thus far acted, pursue the
remorseless and tyr.nnical career of persecution,
'ndignity and revenge, it is not too much TO say,
that the electoral vote of this state is utterly and
hopelcsly lost to Gen. Jackson; and that being So
it is idle for his friends who are anti-rcgcncy men
to waste unavailing efforts in his behalf, longer
refrain from an open and general cooperation in
the common confederation of the people of all par
tics, against regency misrulc and domination"

PENNSYlNANIA.--EAt Of letter fiona a
gentleman in Pennsylvania, to tho editor ofthe
Baltimore Patriot, dated September 10, 1892.
-''I am not one who is prone to make
travagant calculations, TO take for granted that
which ho wishes to bcliove; nevertheless the signs
in this, the key stone state, are such, afford
strong presumption that the 30 electoral votes of
PenISy vania Will be C ,St against Jackson.
1.-The administration Wolf party, entertain at
bottom but little regard for the Hero. They would
indeed, not hesitate to cut Jackson and Wolf" u
sundcr, did they not fear that the severance might
tend to compromise thoir success in the struggle
which awaits them with lie Ritneros. The on.
position presents itself boldly and forcciully in
front of the Jackson and Wolf array, that the lat
ter have neither time nor strength to risk any change
IN the order of battle. Hence, you are to under.
stand that if the Wolf party even gain the election
in the contest for Governor it does necessarily
follow that Jackson will get the electoral vote of
the State. Should that party gain decisive vioto-
ry, should not be surprised they to assert
their true sentiments and renounce Jackson, who
has once and again literally denounced and dislo.
norcd their leading men.
But the struggle between Wolf and Rincr will
be close onc-candid Of all sides seem to
agree in this; and the weight OF opinions, which l
have heard advanced, inclinoS the scale in favor of
Rncr lie ciU pro6ably be elected; and if he should
be, you may easily guess tho result, when, after a
