CUSTOM OF HANDsHAKING.
Degeneracy Of an Act Of Fellowship
into Meaningless Custom.

Degeneracy of an Act Of Fellowship
into a Meaningless Custom.
From the Brooklyn Eagle:-The hand
shake is a relic of homage. the lifted
hat is a memory of the lifted helmet
and sign of peace. There are curious
reasons for some of the customs Of
greetings and good-byes, which in
times past have been a matter Of I'M
portaDce, though they may seem ri-
fling now as friends meet each other in
the street Or drawing groom. 1t seems q
pity that the inconspicuous, friendly
handshake should degenerate into any
thing so ungrateful, so peculiar as the
present fashionable maneuver, which
gives rise to many awkward situations
The pump handle shake has nothing 10
recommend it. At the best it is only
whim OF the hour to please the tickle
idler It is an awkward attempt to
shake two hands on the level of the
face, with a curious sideways move
ment lower down, which finally ends in
a ridiculous saving of the air indescrib-
able. It lacks dill the spontaneity of
the easy. cordial grasp Of the hand.
and bids fair to turn customary act
of friendship into ridicule. Ludicrous
instances occur often in society. which
leave a feeling Of chagrin on the part
of one. at least, for nobody likes to put
forward the hand with pleasant
smile of recognition only to find the
greeting ignored, because one does not
happen to be familiar with this new
pump handle action which the old fri
end has adopted. Vagaries of fashion
change. and it is to be hoped this late
style Of hand shaking will soon be drop
ped, while it be perfectly good form in
any circle to keep to the older dignified
fashion of salutation.

Gladstone to Resign

LONDON. Feb. q The evenir q
News Of Edinburg, ANNOUNCES, on
what it claims as good authority. that
Gladstone has resigned us Premier,
but will remain in his place in the
Cabinet ard continue to represent
Midlothian. Though following many
contradicted rumors regarding the in
tentione of great statesmen, it meets
with wide belief in we'll informed cir
oles, and is causing the greatest ex-
oitament and hurried exchange Of
kilograms between TT Q leaders and in
innate advocates. That he has act
ually rendered his resignation is not
counted on so much as that he ex-
pected to take such action within the
present week. The reasons assigned
are that II cataract is forming in one
eye which must soon be operated on,
and the criticism OF the liberal pc pers
ON him for not forcing the fight on
the House OF Lords. To the Asso-
ciated Prees Gladstone's private
secretary would not deny the truth
Of the public rumor, restricting him
self to the statement that it was
unauthorized.
The evening News this afternoon
says that the Premiership has been
rendered to Lord Roseberry, W.T. de-
olined. Later it was offered to the
Earl OF Spencer, frst Lord of the
Admiralty, who accepted.
Gladstone's resignation goes into
effect Easter.
