Hesing had seat in the hall. The meeting
called AIr. Joseph Hahn to the chair, and Mr.
Henry Metz was elected Secretary.
The Chairman called the attention OF the
meeting to the yotc on the eAagtar Of 1879, which
ia to DO taken in Chicago Friday. They ahou
vote down that char;ar If thay wautol to main
tain their i,bortios.- Re catlod upon Mr.. l. c.
Hesing to speak upon the subject. -
Mr. HRs1Sa
denounced the charter OF 1879 "a fraud, and
said that the Citizens Association had petitoued
tor it under a uaisapprehenslon. After
wards that body made cxertions for
the passage OF thu charter Of 1875,
recently passed BY the Legislature, which would
be brought ia . roto in Chicago on
the 10th day OK August. Tho charter OF "1s72
WAS detrimental to the sa:oon-leepers' interest,
and placed too much power in the lands of the
Common Council. the latter body, BY ita pro.
vis:ona. had the power to apFoint uumoroua citT
oficiaIs. It did ,ot. however,, contain apy gro
vision compelling railroad companies to hui
limits The charter gave power to tho Common
Council to suppress at pleasure, any saloon,
bll1iard-hau etc., within tue city. Il
vas true that aono small citiea OF tho STATE hal
adopted the chsrter OF 1872 before the full ex-
.en:,of its provisions was generally known. but
lately it had haep almost atways voted down.

SALUTATT0Ns.

Every nation probably imagines that it
employs the most reasonable mode Of saluta-
ton. The Grcenlanders laugh when they see
an European uncover his head, and bend his
body before whom lie calls his superior. The
Islanders, near the Philippines, take the hand
or foot of him they salute and with it gently
rub their face. The Laplanders apply their
nose strongly against that of the person they
salute. In an Island situated in the Straits Of
the sound, salntations are really gymnastio
performances. Houtman tells us that the
natives saluted him in this grotesque manner:
: They raised his left foot, which they passed,
gently over the right leg, and from thence
over his face" The inhabitants of the
Philippines use most complex attitude;
they bend their body very low, place their
hands on their cheeks, and raise at the Same
time one foot in tho air with their knee bent.
An Ethiopian takes the robe Of another and
ties it about his own wrist SO that lie leaves
his friend half naked. The salutatory core
monies Of negroes are farcal The greater
part pull the fingers till they crack. When
two negro monarchs visit, they embrace in
swapping three times the middle finger.
Barbarous nations frequently imprint on their
salutation the disposition of their character.
When the ancient Franks would show a Pc
culiar mark of esteem they tore.the hair from
their heads, and presented to 1t the person
they saluted. The slave cut his hair and
offered it to his master. Tho Chinese are
singularly affected in their personal civilities,
They even calculate the number of their
reverences. These are the most remarkable
pastures. The men move their hands in an
affectionate manner while they are Joined to-
gether on the breast, and bow their head
little. If they respect a person, they raise
their hands joined, and then lower them to
the earth in bending the body. If two per-
sons meet after long separation, they both
fall on their knees and bend their faces to tho
earth, and this ceremony they repeat two OF
three times. Surely we may well proclaim
this ceremony to be ridiculous. Still, 50 long
as men salute each other in an amiable man
ner, it makes little difference how they per-
form the cremony--'tis only a question Of
taste and custom, after all.
