The Nuehr tribes on the White Nile
have, according to Mr.. Petherick,
rather peculiar method of saluting a
stranger. A chief entered the cabin of
that gentleman Nile boat, and kneeled
on one knee, after which, grasping my
right hand, and turning up toe palm, he
quietly spat into it, and then, looking in
my face, he deliberately repeated the
process. Staggered at the mans au-
Siaeity, my first impulse was to knock
h. N down, but his features expressing

pressed us conviction that | must be a

with his att endants, and friendship was
established. - In one form or another a
similar meth, I'D of saluting prevails
among several tribes, though some are
polite enough (according to our ways OF
thinking) not to spit in the hand, but
only pretend to do so. 1t is dltilcult to

INTERNAL FOOLISHNESS.

There is no foolshness about some oil
the fathers of Dubuque county who have
manageable daughters, and they know
how to precipitate business when the
fruit is ripe for the plucking and hangs
wasting its sweetness when it should be
plucked. Matters were brought to a
climax with a rush at certain farmers
residence in Vernon township. A
young tiller of the soil had for months
and months been paying most assiduous
attention to one Of his daughters, but he
was such bashful, modest chap, never
having been very much in the company
of girls, except this one, that he had
never been able to raise courage suffi-
GENTLY high to pop the all-important
question. He had gone to the house in
which bis admirer lived upon at least
twenty different occasions, resolved to
know his fate, but when ushered into the
presence Of the fair one, into whose keep
ing he had placed his heart, his courage
would invariably Ego back on him, /"
and he would return to his lonely room
in greater suspense than before. Upon
the evening in question he had deter
mined that come what would he would
tell his Mary he loved her. He would
once for all decide the matter but as
upon each former occasion he could get
the proposal no further than his throat.
There it stuck, and he had just deter
mined to gulp it down and give up the
siege. when the door opened, and in
stalkcd the girls father. who advanced
to where they were sitting and thus adj
dressed them:
