Fellowship of Hand-shaking.

Amongst the Romans hand was the
emblem of good faith, and the almost
universal adoption of the clasped hands
in marriage, and other solemn ceremonies
proves this to have been custom i'll
stinctively considered as emblematic OF
union and fidelity; unfortunately, Just as
the kiss, at any rate between women and
relations has ceased to be a token Of the
trucst and strongest affection 50 has the
hand-shakc fallen somewhat from its
high estate, and become u mere idle GER
emony, not necessarily conveying an i'm
preston OF any special interest OF regard.
Though not an unerring index to mans
character, it gives a clew to it all at least
as trustworthy as chronology and physi-
ognomy. For instance, the man of IN
honest, open nature is not likely to use
habitually the hand-shake secretiye, nor
will he of modest, kindly disposition only
vouchsafe two fingers to his friends. The
languid hand-shake will generally he
found peculiar to persons of cold, lynn
phatic temperament, while the hand
shake which is retentive shows what may
he, in many respects, fine character
married by 4 certain seli-sutficiency and
want of consideration for the feelings Of
others. The hand shake muscular gen
orally accompanies great warmth and
intensity of affection, combined with
great strength of will, and q nature good
il somewhat coarse in its apparent fibre:
and the unpleasantness of this develop
ment of our subject being question not
so much of the matter as of the degree,
it can easily be modified by culture into
the hand-shakc of most unexceptional
character which, as a matter of course,
distinguishes nearly every reader OF this
article.

Atmospheric Dust.

Every one is aware that the atmos-
phere holds quantities of dust in suspen-
sion. The dust betrays its presence by
settling upon our clothes, furniture and
other objects; but ON account of the
minuteness of its particles it cannot be
seen as it floats in the air, except under
the illumination of a strong light, as in
the case of a sunbeam shining in dark
room Besides the grains of dust which
may be seen in this manner, there are
others which can be perceived only
through hemicroscopc, and other smaller
still, little nothings like nebulosities in
the sky, which seem to become more
numerous AS they are songht for with
more powerful Instruments. These bits
of dust, lifted up and carried hither and
tbither by the atmospheric currents,
must not be Overlooked-for they play 4
part of considerable importance in ter
restrial economy, and give rise to rear
geological formations. Clouds of impal-
pable dust, falling from the air in show
ers of considerable abundance, arc not
uncommon in some countries, and have
been noticed in periods of history. Show
ers of dust, both wet and dry, are quite
frequent in the Cape de Eerd Islands,
and are called cred fogs by the sailors.
They are also common in Sicily and Italy,
and occur so often in some parts of Chi a
as hardly to attract remark. A shower
of very fine dust which fell in Southern
France in October, 1916, was found by
the analysis of NJ. Dumas and the micro
scope tests applied by NJ. Ehrenburg, to
be composed of the fine sands of Guiana,
and to contain the characteristics dat
oms and microscopic shells of South
America.

which business was too arduous to admit
of his entering actively into other mat
tcrs, but We Lad taken it for granted he
was in full sympathy with the temper

he built up a little pile of quarters,
when you take whisky the right way.
Now listen to my advice, boys. Regular
habits are valuable i'll everything, and in

The doctor joined heartily in our laugh,
and then went on, pointing to bottle
which stood on one of his shelves:

The Forests.
sensation.

The sharp trosts of the last few nights,
says an exchange. reminds us that the
woods should now begin TO blaze with
the most glowing colors, but it is proba-
BILE that our autumn scenery will, this
year, fall short of its usual attractive
ness in this particular, and give renewed
occasion to lament the ravages of the
drouth. Many trees, especially those
growing on the thin soil Of rocky hills,
are already stripped of their leaves, which
died and dropped before they had ma
tnred; and it is to be feared that the
more persistent foliage, for lack Of the
needed vitality, will burn out with dull
flame as compared with the brilliancy Of
more prosperous years. But matter for
more serious apprehension is suggested
by Il consideration of the possible effect
of the unusually dryness of the earth
upon the trees. All trees. and especially
evergreens, through their foliage, give
out certain amount of moisture during
the winter. This is the season when
they should be storing up a supply of
juices to meet this evaporation, tnfor-
tunately, the deepest roots can find no
water. and the fall rains, if we are to
have any. will come too late to be of the
greatest service. No doubt, too, the cell
structure of the trees is in bad condition
to carry on this storing process. Every
growing thing has been enfeebled by
long struggle with the drouth. There is
a lack of recuperative power and lusty
life in every tree and shrub, and they
will meet the trying drafts which the
winter makes upon their vitality with
imperfectly developed resources. Per-
haps it would be safer to wait until next
spring before making prediction, but
there seems to be good ground to fear
that the winter will be q fatal one for
many trees which, under ordinary condi-
lions, have nothing to fear from the cold.

flying and Elevating Society" Mr.. Ar
thur is the ablest and most scholarly
Wesleyan in Europe, and his essay sus-
tanned his high reputation. Bishop Peck
said no one could know how it hurt him
to touch the bell. but happily they would

in which the bishops bell had to be

grievous to the assembly. \ remarkably

Rev. Mr.. Price, was making a speech

during the Conference. Nothing could
exceed the literary finish. the wit, and
felicitous expression of the extempore
speech which came through the musical
voice of this negro. The assembly was
thrown into a sort of ecstasy by it. When
the bell sounded he instantly sat down
like Mr.. Arthur, stopping in the middle
of a sentence. There were cries Of $50

should be allowed this speaker: but the

rose, and after an admirable little speech
on the love which he and his white
brethren of the South had always felt
for the colored people-whom they had
never neglected turned around and
greeted Mr.. Price in the name of the
Southern delegates, and shook him
warmly by the hand. In front of the

great missionary Thomas Coke, already
described, one could see here remarka-

speeches from them by no means inferior
to others by their white friends. During

Baltimore, presided, and with perfect
dignity. Some thought him the best

fused chairman had to apologize to DR..
Tiffany. An eminent English Wesleyan
preacher told me that the chairman's
confusion arose, no doubt, from the fact
that-though he is President of the New
Connection-he never imagined that any
one could possibly attempt to set aside
the recommendation of a committee.
On certain day two laymen-one
English. the other American--were put

There was different chairman every

Peck carried off the palm. The Confer

its cons titution and the conduct of bust
ness, and among these was Il rule that
each subject should be introduced by an
essay of twenty minutes, followed by an
invited address of twenty minutes. and
that for the rest of that particular SEES
sion each voluntary speaker should have
five minutes. Bishop Peck had a table
bell beside him which he struck with ter
rible punctuality. But when he did so
it was always with some good humOred

IN lnn0:enS Man Acquitted.

The Philadelphia Times thus notices i
ease just disposed of in the United States
courts : "1t is not ut all likely that Mr..
Fritschc, who was completely cxOncratcd
on Tuesday from the charge of under
valuation Oh an invoice of Vicnnesc mcrr-
schaum wares, will take any steps to in
dcmnity himself for the injury which was
inflicted Oh his business or to call TIC Gus
toms officials to account for tho outrage to
his character which the high-handcd pro-
ccedings involved. And yet it is Il crying
wrong that the case should be dropped
where it stands. The government seems
to have presented not shadow of cvi-
dencc to sustain its allegations of fraud,
and without prima facie grounds for the
seizure the officials who participated in or
who ordered the detention OF the goods
are personally LIABLE
This case was tried ut previous term of
the court when VIM. il. Morton, of this
city was juror. The jury disagreed and
remained out 3G hours, when they were
discharged. In Mr.. Fritsche's later ac-

THE city Of Newark IS attracting 4
good deal more attention than can be
very agreeable to its people. The ques.
ton is whether there is an honest man in
the town. II seems very doubtful at
least whether there are any honest Off
cials i'm it, either of the municipality or
the corporate institutions. Jersey JUS
tice used to be thought very severe but
it has not been successful in deterring
from crime the very best citizens in this
part of its extent. 1t is but few years
since the neighbcring city of Elizabeth
achieved an unfortunate reputation. 1t
may he that the trouble comes upon
these Jersey towns because of their
vicinity to New York, Of which in fact
they are but suburbs. Gambling in Wall
street has been the ruin of the jersey
men who were only smart enough to
steal but not to give their stealings in
crease.

James Smith, rather good looking and
we'll spoken young colorcd man of Co

Office to-day to tell us that he had
just Iecn released from Jail this
morning, thouah the bill against him
was ignored on Nov. 2;. Upon ex-

that date, ignored ;in Indictment against
Smith for carrying concealed weapons.
According to his story nc lives ill Colun-

lOaeing boats. Some time ago he wa,
carrying razor TO the barber shop for
Isaac Craig, when Officer Struck arrested
him and Squire Frank sen: him down.
The case could not be made out before the
grand jury and the bill was ignored. He
never knew it until to day when Under
keeper MentZcr at the prison i'll
vitcd him to get ready to go home
and gave him his discharge. 1t was bad
enough to commit man to Jail and keep
him there without being able to prove his

little more than 4 white smith Or black
