SUBSTITUTES ron KIssISG.--Some
rude aces have strange substitutes Tor
Kissing. OF Mongofiather, traveller
writes, che smelled from time to time
the head OF his youngest son, a mark OF
paternal tenderness usual among The
Mongols instead OF embracing. In the
Philippine islands, we are told, 1.-THE
sense oil smell is developed TO so great
degree that they are able, by smelling
at the pocket handkerchieb. to tell 10
which person they belong; and lovers,
al parting, exchange pieces oil linen they
may be wearing, and during their sep
aration lnhale the odor OF lbe beloved
being" Among the Citagong. hin peo-
pie, again, il is said the manner OF
kissing is peculiar. Instead of pressing
lip 10 lip, they place the nose and mouth
upon the cheek and inhale the breath
strongly" Their form OF speech is not
Give me kiss, = but Smell me- In
the same way according to another lrav-
eler, the Burmese DO not kiss each
other in the Western fashion, but sp.
ply the lips and nose TO the cheek aud
make a strong inhalation" Moreover,
"the Samoans salute by juxtaposition OF
noses. accompanied not by rub but a
hearty smell" There is scriptural pre-
cedent Tor such customs. When blind
Isaac was IN doubt whether the son who
came TO him was Jacob or moi, ''he
smelled the smell Of his ralment, and
blessed him."

. THE MISSING LINK.-Miss Bird, an
English lady, describes in book on
Japan, aud especially on the Amos, how
she was ierried across a river by one
Aino completely covered by hair,
which on his shoulders was wavy like
that Of retneyer, and rendered clothing
quite needless, either for covering or
warmth" and how in another place
she met with second man, whom she
emphatically describes as ''the missing
lint" His face was vacant and apa-
thetic, his arms and legs were unnatu-
rally long and thin, he sqnatted with his
knees tucked under his arm pits, and
his whole body was covered With black
hair more than an inch long, and slight
ly curled on the shoulders. He had.
however, bare patch on each side,
,robably marking The parts on which
he rested when asleep, a peculiarly
! found in the gorilla, who has bare spot
on his back where he leans against
trees.

Henry CLAY's Doc. Clay had

sented by an admiring friend who lived
in Nova Scotia, The dog was very IN

form a number Of wonderful tricks, one

pastures in which Mr., Clay allowed bis

which the cattle were supplied with

this manner the trough was kept con-

canine finally gave up the ghost, he
had him respectfully buried, and erect

8 OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES YARDs.

Recommendations for 1000 head Of cat
tie. Large scales WILDE provided az
different points ~ The yard, to ooyiate
the necessity of taking ne caitleto the
State scales to be weighed The Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company are
also constructing an abat,oir stock yards,
along the line Of their railroad, near the
c ty, where cattle will also be wePghed
and sold.
When these Two great stock yards
are finished The State Cattle Scales will
be ushered oct Of existencs and the
revenue derived from them lost 10 The
State. Tie last Legislature Passed ?
Law. upon the recommendation o. Gov,
ernor Hamilton, by which the State

lers of live stock 10 have il weighed A.
~. State Scaes or eisewherfs since
ire weighing was not compu sorry no
one would lease the yards, pay all the
expenses aud run the ti.k Of being re-
ihbursed by the fees for weighing.
Consequently The cattle yards are SUI
manage by The State as they were be-
fore the Iaw was parsed, except that
the fees for Weighing, We believe, have
been reduced, and the salary OF the
weighmaster, cut down from $1,000 to
$3.50. Notwithstanding they are not
compelled to have them weighed al the
State scales, yet from force of habit or
because il is convenient, sellers and
buyers still resort lhither, and the con.
sequence Is that the Cattle Scales Will
this year Weld a revenue TO the State
OF from $4,000 to $4,000. Nearly
all OF this comes not from citizens OF
Maryland, but from residents of other
States who bring live stock 10 Baltf-
more for sale. The amount derived
from the Cattle Scales is turned into
the Treasury, and when il is cut off, as
it soon will be, an equal amount must
be raised by tsxation. az M
Ofcourse when the Pennsylvania and
the Baltimore and OHIO companies stock
yards are finished no live stock coming
into Baltimore by either Of those roads
will be taken TO the State Scales TO be
weighed and sold, but il will all be
weighed al one or the other ofthe great
rival stock yards. The large amount of
money the State has invested at Cal
verton will nearly all he lost, together
with the revenue which under faithful
administration of It's affairs could have
been derived for the State,
Nor is this the worst feature OF thus
business. The farmers Of the State will
scarcely be able 10 see any superior adj
vantages IN having their cattle weighed
by irresponsible and perhaps interested
parties instead of by sworn State off
GERS. Besides the State officers were
compelled to weigh live stock alta fixed
rate of charges, while the private weigh
ers can charge whatever they please.
This abolition Of the compulsory lea
ture Of weighing, it seems 10 us, as
things are now going, is one Of the re-
forms which is likely TO be of benefit TO
two great railroad companies, and
great loss to the State.-BelaD .Egis
