Making a Bow.

In public, the bow is the proper
mode of salutation, also under certain
circumstances in private; and, accord

men, except when one would be es-
pecially deferential to age or position;
but in saluting lady, the hat should
be removed. A very common mode of
doing this in New York, at present,
particularly by the younger men, is to
jerk the hat off and sling it on as
hastily as possible. As haste is incom-
patible with grace, and as there is an
old pantomi ic law that every picture
must be held for longer or shor. err
time, the jerk-and-sling manner of re-
moving the hat, in salutation, is not to
be commended. The empressement a
man puts into his salutations is gradu-
ated by circumstances, the most
defercntial manner being to carry the
hat down the full length of the arm,
keeping it there until the person salut-
ed has passed. If a man stops to
speak to a lady in the street be should
remain uncovered, unless the CONVERSE
ton should be protracted, which it is
sure not to be, if either of the party
knows and cares to observe the pro
prieties.

A mans animosity toward a political
opponent is sometimes SO bitter that it
does not cease even when the opponent
is dead. A year or two ago a gentleman
who had figured most prominently not
only in the history of Massachusetts
but in the history of the country, sud-
denly came to the end of a long and
useful life. On the day Of the funeral
one of the strongest political enemies
of deceased, and a man whose name is
well known to every man, woman and
child in the commonwealth, was asked:
''Are you going to attend Mr.. IS
funeral to-day?n ssNo,' responded
the distinguished gentleman, deliber-
ately; but (dryly) wish you to un-
derstand | heartily approve of it. -

Because some one sent word to the
Indian commissioner that the settlers
on Grow Creek and Winneoago agencies
we're claiming Indian cattle, the follow
ing order has been issued.
10 Agent Gassman, Grow Creek, D. r.,
The secretary has granted you authority
to remove all settlers and unauthorized
persons from the reservation, and,
il necessary, to call upon the command
ing officer at the nearest military post
for force sufficient to effect their re-
moval. Proceed at once to remove them
and their effects. (Sigred)
I'D. G. ATKINS. Commissioner.
There wac probably no truth in the
report relative to the cattle, though it
has produced the effect intended by
those who sent it. The time allowed
by the president in his proclamation for
the settlers to yacate expired month

force the terms of the proclamation

There will be general compliance with
the order, we are told by gentleman
just arrived from Chamberlain, though
he says few may possibly contest the
order and wait for the military to forci

the settlers have already
gone from the disputed lands, being too
poor to wait for permission to make fur
ther improvements. When they mad
their homes their last spring they ex
pected to raise something in the way G
sod crops this year, but the order of tn

been slipping away one by one an

One Of the most observed and interesting
equestrian statues of the city is that of Gen.
jackson. which stands in the park just in
front of the White house grounds. 1t was
designed by the late Clark Mills, and is pc
cUliar to itself in the position of the horse
upon which the figure is mounted.
There are a number of equestrian
statues in the city-ScOtt, Thomas,
Washington, Mcpherson and Rawlins-but
none of them have the popularity spoken
of. In this statue the horse upon which
the figure is mounted stands upon the hind
feet. as if in the act of rearing. 1t was
quite problem when Mills designed the
statue whether he would be able to balance
the bronze horse in a natural position in
this way especially with the figure of
man on its back. He was positive, how
ever, that it was practicable, and to illus
trate his belief and to silence those who con-
tended that it would be impossible, he had

city. On Fourteenth street. at the inter
section of Massachusetts avenue, thefe is
an equestrian statue of Gen. Thomas in
bronze. AT the intersection of MaSSa-

there is another of Gen. Scott.
AT the crossing of Massachusetts
and Connecticut there is a standing figure
of Dupont. Farther up Connecticut ave
nue. is the FaTagut statue. giving the name
to Farragut square. Beyond the war de-

statue of Gen. Rawlins. On Pennsylvania
