Modes of Salutation.-There is no GUS
tom in which nations differ from Others
more than in their various modes Of sallta-
ton, and it would be curious inquiry to
examine into the causes of this difference
and the origin of the different forms that
are observed. We do not intend, however,
to write an essay upon this subject, but mere
y to mention some OF the most striking
modes that are observed among different
nations.
DIsrael says-"that the islanders near
the Philippines take the hand or foot of him
they wish to salute, and with it gently rub
their face. The Laplanders rub their nose
strongly against that of the person they So
lutte. Dampier says, that Z" in New GUM
ca they are satisfied to put on their
heads, the leaves of trees, which have
ever passed for symbols Of friendship and
peace.
Other salutations are incommodious and
painful. 1t requires great practice to era
BILE man to be polite in any island situa-
ted in the straits of the sound. Houtman
tells us that they salute in this grotesque
manner-They raised the left foot, which
they passed gently over his right leg, and
from thence over his face. The inhabit-
ants of the Philippines use most complex
attitude--they bend the body very low, place
their hands upon their cheeks, and raise at
the same time one foot in the air with their
knee.
An Ethiopian takes the robe Of another,
and ties it about his own waist, so that he
leaves his friend half naked. The custom
of undressing on these occasions, takes 9TH
erforms. Sometimes men place themselves
naked before the persons they salute. This
was practiced before Sir Joseph Banks,
when he received the visits of two female
Otaheitans. Their innocent simplicity did
not appear immodest in the eyes Of the
pirtuoso. The Japanese only take off a
slipper the people Of Arragon, their san
dals in the street, and their stockings N the
house.
Montague says there is not nation, Q.
ven to the people, who, when they salute,
turn their backs upon their friends, but that
can be justified in their customs. This re-
mark may be true, with the exception of
one or two forms of salutation, which al
though they cannot be considered national
customs, are in very common use in this
country. We allude to the very funny
and pleasing practice of slapping man on
the back or giving him punch in the side.
1t was but the other day, as we were walk.
ing down Broadway, perfectly unconscious
of danger, we were saluted by tremen-
dous thump on the back, which nearly
knocked the breath out of our body, and
the simultaneous exclamation Of "How do
you do? How glad | am too see YOU"
from an old acquaintance. And the worst
of it is, in these cases, you are compelled
to turn about, look pleasant, and make
yourself agreeable, when you are almost
bursting with rage, and feeling as though
you would give any thing for an excuse to
knock your friend down. No, no-give
us the form of salutation in use amongst
barbarians, but protect us from such stri-
king manifestations offriendship. Rubbing
noses in hot weather is nothing to it.-N. Y

Convention were not unanimous; notwith.
standing that wo unanimously protested
against the right Of Congress to impose for

congress in violating the ordinance of 1877,
