La Vie Payisienne favors its mas
culinc readers with some points upon
their demeanor toward ladies, which
are MS follows:
ITO kiss tho hand indicates icnder
respect; the glove. stupidity; to squeeze
tho hand. affection; to tread on the
foot, impertinence.
ITO offer ones arm indicates polite
ness; to press the lady's arm against
your own, familiarity.
.eTo speak in an undertone to n lady
Is in the worst taste; to show signs OF
emotion while speaking to her is in the
best.
ITO talk to a lady in an %incomprr-
hensible manner is very good form.

The steamer Florida, which left here for
Florida on Wednesday afternoon at four
O'Clock, returned TO the city yesterday in
tow of the steamer City Of Bridgeton.
When in the vicinity OF Romney Marsh, at
eight O'Clock on the same evening, the iron
which held her rudder gave way, and
she was unable to proceed any further,
and was compelled to remain at anchor
until the City Of Bridgeton came by yester-
day morning, when she was taken in tow
and brought to the city, reaching here about
half-past one O'Clock.
The rudder is very heavy, weighing nearly
2. 500 pounds, and the water Is rather shall
low in the vicinity Of the marsh, and it is
thought the accident was occasiOned by the
runder striking in the mud.
