The Fellowship Of Handshaking.
Golden Words.


Among the / oman a hand was the
emblem Of good faith. and the almost
universal adoption Of the clasped hands
in marriage, and other solemn cere.
monies, proves this to have been a GUS
tom instinctively considered as emblem
attic of union and fidelity; unfortunately
just as the kiss, at any rate, between
women and relations, has ceased to be Il
token Of the truest and strongest afiec-
ton, 20 has the handshake fallen some
what from its high state, and become a
mere idle ceremony, not necessarily
conveying an impression of any special
interest or regard. Though not an UNI
erring index to Il mans character, it
gives II clue to it at least as trustworthy
rs phrenology and physiognomy. For il :
stance the nan Of an honest open nature
is mo- likely TO use habitualiy the hand
shake se,retivc, nor will he Of modest
kindly disposition only vouchsafe two
fingers to his friends. The languid
handshake will generally be found pecu-
liar to persons of cold, Emphatic tenn
perment, while the handshake which is
retentive shows what MAJ be, in many
respects, q fine character married ~ a
certain sclf-suiiciency and want of con-
siderdtion for the feelings of others.
The h%andshake muscular generally ac-
companies great warmth and intensity
of affection, combined with great
strength of will, and a nature good, if
somewhat coarse in its apparent fiber
and the unpleasantness OF this develop
ment Of our subject being IA question not
so much of the matter ~ the degree, it
can easily be modified by culture into
the handshake Of most unexceptional
character, which, as n matter Of course
distinguishes nearly every reader of this
article.

The decision of Judge Blatchford, of the
United States District Court at New York,
Wednesday, on the question of the appoint
ment of Democratic supervisors Of election,
was a decided setback to Tammany Hall.
Mr.. John /. Davenport, Federal supervisor
of elections, recently addressed letter to
Hon. Lester b. Faulkner, chairman of tho
Democratic State Committee, asking which
of two lists Of Democratic supervisors
Tammany Hall or the County Democracy
should be appointed for the election in
the two Congressional districts in New
York city in which vacancies exist. Mr..
Faulkner decided that the County
Democracy" is the regular Democratic
organization, and its lists should be nc.
cepted. Mr.. Davenport accordingly recog-
nized this organization, and submitted its
lists to Judge Blatchford, who declared it
entitled to recognition, and that the persons
it names for supervisors should be APP
pointed. This action seems to settle three
things First that the County Democracy"
is the regular Democratic organization in
New York city secondly that so far as
the question can come before the courts at
all, this regularity will be legally upheld
thirdly that tho County Democracy's'
delegates will be admitted to the convcn-
ton at Albany. Tammany seems to have
been cut adrift, and has gloomy outlook
for the future. The County Democracy
is under the leadership of Mr.. Tilden's ad
hcrcnts.
