We have not the leisure TO write out

sn9lsss OF social salptations, &c., We may
| say<tIset IN most German countries, It is
\ an act OF politeness to kiss the hTuds of
ladtstf but, In ,ltaly, this Is regarded MS an
act Of familiarity, Nhiel, is permitted only
70 the.nearese relations. On the contrary.
the Russian ladies allow not only tile hand
TO oe kissed, but even the forehead. and
would consider themselves insulted by tho
omission. of this ceremony. Tho pressing
OF hands, embraces, md kisses are among
other nations also, as well as those Of
Europe, marks ofesteem aud love. Some
NATIONS, IN shutting, touch other parts of
theibody. The sLaplnnders, for instance,
press their noses firmly together, In one
OF the larger lCyclades, persons reciprocal
/ " mOisten each others hair; and the
Franks are saidito have pulled out A hair
and presentedit to the person sal1ted.-
Ghe Turk crosses his hands, places them
tspon his breast, and bows. The inhabit-
fNants Of Lalnurzee, in the Pelew Islands,
seize the hand, or even the foot of the Der-
son whom they wish to salute, and rub
their face it. In the island of Sum
atra, the shutting person bows, begs the
left foot of him whom he addresses, knecls
onthe ground, and applies this foot TO his
crown forehead, breast, and knee. In,
Ceylon, when persons salute, they raise
the palm of the hand to the forehead, and
make low. bow. .Arabians of distinction
embrace each other two or three times.
Kiss each others checks, and inquire two
OF three times after each others health:
at the same time, each kisses his own hand,
The Arabiaus ofthe desert stiake bands six
or elghtitimes. In Yemen, persons ofdis.
hqoh hopt atlar @ long. refusal, allow their
fingers to be kissed. The. .Abyssinf1ns and
other nations fall on their knees, and kiss
the ground. Several negro nations take
e5eh other's hands, and pull the fingers
till they crack. Other negroes snap their
fingers in meeting eachother pull the comb
out OF their hair, and replace it. If the
Mondingoes salute female, they take her
hand, raise it to their nose, and smell it
twice. In Morocco, foreigners are saiutcd
by the Moors, on horseback, in n manner
which may well startle those not accus-
toned TO it. The Moor rides full speed
towards the StrHngcr, as IL ilbOut to run
him down. hc then suddenly stops and
discharges his pistol over the head of the
/ person. The Egyptians extend their hNnds,
place them upon their breasts, and bend
their heads. The greatest act of politcncss
is to kiss their own hand, and afterwards
lplnce it upon. their heads.
Another asks this question:
Does the constitution of South Carolina
| or the law of that State prohibit any man
! from voting who does not own ten slaves
or $4,000 worth of real estate?
And receives for reply that the editor
does not know, We have not at hand the
documents to show the precise amount or
species of property requisite TO constitute
II voter in South Caroliua, but to. be one
requires property qualifications. and that
of no mean order.
Some one troubled with straight, obsti-
nate hair is told the following:
