SALUTEs AND SALUTATIoNs.-To those of
our readers who occasionally inquire as to
which should give the sign of recognition. the
man or woman, we commend the following
remarks. They are not exactly in our line.
We are not much afraid of Mrs. Grundy, and
would be liable to give wrong advice were we
to undertake to do it upon our own RESPONSE
bility. But as this comes from an authorita-
tive source, a lady, who is much IN favor
with the inhabitants of Japonicadom, there
fore we unhesitatingly accept the decisions in
matters of etiquette
A lady must not first recognize gentle
man by bowing before he can salute her,
She is to Judge Of whether she wishes to
appear to know him. Should she recognize
him. he should raise his hat from his head
with the hand that is furthest from the lady,
and return her salutation with slight incli-
nation of the body. He must not claim
acquaintance of his own accord neither
should he of necessity consider he has been
1" CUT because the lady did not recognize
him. 1t is quite possible she may not have
observed him. A lady need not stop In the
street to speak to gentleman she knows
Should she do so, however, the gentleman
should at once stop, no matter how urgent
his business. He can at least stop long
enough to say he cannot stop any longer
When the lady wishes to end the conversa-
ton, she makes an inclination of the head as
a sign thereof, and the gentleman should at
once take his leave. If the lady moves
onward, still talking, the gentleman should
turn back and walk with her. Married
ladies can do as they please in these matters.
1t is not etiquette for young married ladies
to do more than bow to gentlemen of their
acquaintance if they meet them in the street,
unless, of course, the gentlemen are related
to them. Mrs. Grundy would, however per-
haps object to cousins" being included
among the privileged class. Unless lady
is intimately acquainted with a gentleman,
she should merely bow, not give her hand,
when meeting him. In her own home she
may-even she should-weleome all comers
with shake of the hand.
When Sir Walter Nanny and his men
returned from a successful sortie out of Hen
uebone, Froissart tells us "the Countess of
MOntfort came down from the castle to meet
them, and with a most cheerful countenance
kissed Sir Walter Nanny and all his com
panions. one after the other, like noble and
valiant dame"

A Young Man Anxious to Wed.

The afternoon services had ended, and the
congregation were arranging themselves for
the benediction, when the good parson de-
scended from the pulpit to the desk below,
and said in calm, clear voice
"Those wishing to be united in the holy
bonds of matrimony will now please come
torward.'
A deep stiffness instantly fell over the
congregation, broken only by the rustling of
the silk, az some pretty girl or excited matron
changed her position to catch the first view
of the couple to be married. No one, how
ever, arose, or seemed in the least inclined
to rise. Whereupon the worthy clergyman
deeming the first notice unheard or misun-
derstood, repeated
Let those wishing to be united in the
holy bonds of matrimony now come for
ward"
Still no one stirred. The silence became
almost audible, and painful sense of awk-
wardness among those present was felt, when
young gentleman, who occupied vacant
seat in the broad aisle during the service,
slowly arose and deliberately walked to the
foot of the altar. lie was good looking and
well dressed, but no female accompanied,
his travels. When he arrived within a re.
specttul distance of the clergyman he paused,
and with a reverent bow stepped to one side
of the aisle, but neither said anything, nor
seemed at all disconnected at the idea of
being married alone.
The clergyman looked anxiously around
for the bride, who, he supposed, was yet to
arrive, and at length remarked to the young
gentleman in an undertone:
THE lady, sir, is dilatory."
Yes, SIR"
Had you not better defer the ceremony"
81 think not"
Do you suppose she will be here soon ri
Me, sir ?" said the young gentleman,
60 how should l know of the lady's move
ments ?'
A few moments were allowed to elapse in
this unpleasant state of expectancy, when
the clergyman renewed his interrogatories.
"Did the lady promise to attend at the
present hour, sir ?"
What lady?"
Why, the lady, to be sure, that you are
waiting here for"
a. did not hear her say anything about
it," was the unsatisfactory response.
Then. sir, may l ask you why you are
here, and for what purpose you thus trihe in
the sanctuary of the Most High ?" said the
somewhat enraged clerical.
g came. sir, simply because you invited
all those wishing to be united in the holy
bonds of matrimony to step forward, and
happened to entertain such a wish. am very
sorry to have misunderstood you, sir, and
wish you very good day."
The benediction was uttered in the
solemnity of tone very little in accordance
with the twitching of the facial nerves, and
when, after the church was closed, the story
got amongst the congregation, more than one
girl regretted that the young gentleman who
really wished to be united in the holy bonds
of matrimony had been obliged to depart
without wife.

HORRIBLE MULTIPLICATION OF THE FLESH BY

HORRIBLE NOTIFICATION OF THE FLESH BY
CHINESE FANArIcs.-That Chinese are capa-
BILE of enduring much for religion is to be
seen hv the long and toilsome pilgrimage
undertaken by many, as also in the works OF
modification of the flesh in which their zeal
finds vent instead of in proselytsm. On one
occasion, few weeks ago, | was witness to
these notifications of the flesh. The place
was New Wang, temple close to Ningpo,
which has really gained high reputation for
the piety of its inmates. AT the time L
entered, two priests were undergoing the
operation of having the finger burned OIL
The way it was done is as follows: A string
was tied tightly around the finger under the
second knuckle the band was then surroun-
ded bv ball of clay and the fist doubled up,
leaving one finger sticking out. Round this
finger was tied sandal wood, which was light
ed, and boiling and blazing resin and oil
poured upon it. The person operated on sat
in chair united, with the burning hand on
the altar. Nothing prevented him moving
his hand at any moment. At any time he
could have asked, and the torture would
have been discontinued. l stayed for an
hour and half witnessing this strange sight
all of which time gongs were beating and
PRAYERS being said. Behind one of the suf
ferers stood an aged priest, his hands on the
shoulders of sufferer, q young, healthy
looking man. From the hands of the OLD
Bonze. five fingers were missing, they hav'
ing been burned off. l must confess tina

Gambling In New York.

This vice is spreading so rapidly in that
city that Society for its prevention has been
organized, and it is becoming so formidable
that the gamblers have been obliged to form
an Association to watch and fight it. A
recent writer, speaking of the anti gambling
organization, says:
who. controlled by that despicable sin, seeks
TO win by chance what he is too indolent to
secure by industry, will emerge from gam
bling saloon a loser he will give all the
information necessary in his case. This is
all the testimony the Society is likely to get /;
but these cases are so rare that the efforts of
the Society will accomplish but very little
good. Indeed, the only thing that can be
done concerning gambling, which will prove
efhcacious, is to cultivate a strong puplic SEN
timent against the vice to, in fact, hedge in
the miserable votaries of the passion, and
force them to keep their own company, and
none other and thus brand them as disre-
putable characters. and let them devour each
other. Nothing is more reprehensible than
one who has been yictimized by gamblers
who has been led into games of chance by
So called '..stool-pigeons.' There is no ex-
cuse for such an one. He goes in to win
not to lose-and you would not hear whim.
Der FROM him if he won Then it would be
all right, and all his friends would congrat-
ulate him upon the result. But because he
loses, and has been swindled, of course up
goes a shout of condemnation against gam
bling. This will never do. Gambling like
treason must be made odious, and must be
punished by shutting outside of all respect

A SPICY SToRY.-There was knot of
sea captains in store at Honolulu, the
keeper of which had just bought barrel of
black pepper. Old Captain -, of
Salem, came in, and, seeing the pepper took
up handful of it.
:" What do you buy such stuff as that
for ?" said he to the store keeper: g its half
peas"
' Peas !" replied the 'tOrekeeper, "there
ism pea in it,"
Taking up a handful as he spoke, he ap-
pealed to the company. They all looked at
it. and plunged their hands into the barrel,
and bit a kernel or 80. and then give it as
their universal opinion that there wasn't
pea in it.
"ItelI you there is" said the old Captain,
again scooping up handful, and III bet a
dollar on it."
The old Boston argument all over the
world. They took him up:
"Well," said he, "spell that, J" pointing
to the word P-e-pp-e r" painted on the
side of the barrel; eff it isn't half p's, then
I'm no Judge. that's ALL.

AssAssINATIoNs OF RULERs.-The divinity
that Shakespeare afirms to hedge king is
not much regarded in this century, and the
heads that wear crowns must lie more un-
easily than ever in view of the following
facts
"Even Queen Victoria has been four times
attacked. There have been at least six plots
to assassinate the Emperor Napoleon. In
October 1852, when Napoleon was at Mar
seilles, an Internal machine, formed of $50
gunbarrels charged with 800 balls, was to
have been discharged against the Prince and
his cortege but the design was not carried
out. On July 5, 1858, a fresh attempt was
made to assassinate him as he was going to
the Opera Comique On April %, 1855
Jean Liverani fired two shots at the Emperor
in the Grand Avenue of the Champs Elysees.
In 1857, Thibaldi, Bartolotti and Grill came
from England to Paris to assassinate the
Emperor but were discovered, arrested, tried
and punished. On January IA, 1858, Orsini,
Comes, Pieri and Rudio threw their shells at
the Emperor On December "A, 1868, Greco,
Trabuccy, Imperatore and Scaglioni. who
had gone from London with the intention OF
killing the French Emperor, were arrested in
Paris The King of Prussia was fred at by
Oscar Becker, a law student of Leipsic, at
Baden on the 18th of July, 1861, and his
Minister, Bismarck, had last year narrow
escape from young Blund. The Emp reror of
Austria on February Is, 1858. was struck
with a knife in the neck by a Hungarian
named Libeny; in 1858 an attempt was
made on. the life of Victor Emmanuel and
the Queen Of Spain has been twice assailed-
There is something very remarkable in tn
almost invariable failure of these attempts.
In recent times only two rulers have fallen
victims to assassination-the Duke of Parma,
who, in 1854, was stabbed with a poignarc
in the abdomen; and Abraham Lincoln.
who was shot by Booth on April IA, 1860"

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates, dupe
the unwary. Some of the self-styled doctors,
whose names to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, are tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some are tnsmiths shoemakers
newspaper carriers intelligence office keepers, &c
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1868. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make nqury-:t will cost
you nothing and may save you many regrets for,
as advertising physicians in eight cases out of ten
are bogus, there is 10 safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are. Dr.
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles, certificates, pretended patients letters &C.
