Breaches Of Etiquette at Court.

There is a story going round in civic
circles to the effect that lady distin-
guished in that social world of which the
Mansion House is the center. committed
strange and most inexcusable breach
of etiquette. ON the occasion of the recent
visit of the Queen to Epping forest. The
lady had to make small presentation
to her Majesty, and instead of kissing
the royal hand, she shook it vigor-
0usly! I never heard Of but one other
person who made . similar mistake, and
that was young student of Trinity
College, Dublin now the staid vicar OF
parish in Cheshire nervousness
overcame when he was first introduced
to the presence of royalty. Hudson, we
know, once offered his arm to the Queen.
but her Majesty, thinking, doubtless,
that the railway Eng'' had matters on
his mind more important than court
etiquette, accepted it with smiling grace.

The Man Who Boxed.

There are scores of respectable and
reputable head of families in this city
who take regular lessons in the manly
art OF self-defense, and who spend an
hour every evening in swinging clubs
and otherwise developing and hardening
the muscle. One of the most enthusi-
astic of the lot had finished his boxing
lesson the other night, when the trainer
said:
Il am sorry to loose your money and
your company, but / feel it my duty to
say that can learn you nothing further.

to clean out crowd, and Heaven help

The citizen went home with con.
sclousness that only towards carry re-

would look after he had given him a
sock-dologer straight from the shoulder.
The next morning as he was leaving his
house along came strawberry man who
was yelling his wares at the top of his
voice.

EDuoR OF THK GAzETEs-A petition from The
members of some of the prominent business
houses of Honolulu - was yesterday presented and
read by native member, praying that the Legis-
lature enact, that commercial travellers pay a
license tax of $500. This is aimed at the repre-
sentatives of American manufacturers, who have
or may come here on business. II is somewhat
surprising that the representatives Of other for
eign manufacturers have not excited any hostility
such this petition calls up. Travellers from
England, Scotland Germany and other European
nations have been permitted to solicit orders for
sugar, machinery railway supplies, etc, etc, with
out remark. ! presume the Treaty which the
United States government has so generously be
slowed upon these Islands-and which has made
these merchant petitioners rich at the expense Of
American citizens warrants this proceeding on their
part The desire to be admitted under the Treaty
free, but at the trim to place heavy license
upon statesmen from the United States wonder
Mr.. Editor what next will come up in the Legis-
lature against Americans How would il suit the
ideas of these merchant petitioners, were they
called upon to psya for contracting for the sale
Of their sugars in San Francisco. Yours &C.,
