. The death of Thomas Hughes has re-
yived a host Of stories illustrative of the
manliness and charm If his character.
The democratic bias showed itself in
boyhocd. At Rugby, when head of the
eleven, he set ct naught the aristocratic
exclusiveness IF the place by bringing
the country lads into the school close to
play cricket with him. At Lincoln's Inn
he detied the beadle by opening the
gates of the Fields" and letting in the
children CT the slums. As special con
stable in the Chartist troubles Of l848
he was bcset with misgivings that the
agitators were right. But he knew
where to draw the line. At II Of the
socialist meetings in the days CT i. ID.
Maurice the national anthem was start

to hiss. Tom Hughes sprang upon a
chair and threatened the first man who
renewed the insalt to The queens name

Scare Among tho Parrot Owners In Paris.
Visitors to Paris cannot have failed
to notice the long rows Of psittaceous
birds displayed for sale IN the quays
that border the Seine, for if by chance
the variegated spectacle escaped their
eyes their ears must have informed them
of the neighborhood of the loud voiced
creatures. 1t seems, however, that this
hourishing industry is at present in
danger if not absolutely doomed to ex-
tincticn, greatly to the horror and alarm
of the Syndicat DIES Oiseliers. Professor
Gilbert, physician to the Broussais hos
pital and chief of the therapeutical lab
oratory Of the faculty, having traced
several cases of infectious diseases among
his patients to parrots, felt constrained
to reopen the old controversy, and SO
effectual has been his demonstration Of
this channel for contagion hat the love
of the Parisians for their gayly plum
aged pets has undergone complete revul-
sion. The sale of perruches has conse-
quently dwindled down to next to moth
ing. and to make matters worst the de-
sire to get rid Of the discredited birds
has led to immense numbers being
thrown upon the market, causing AN
unprecedented glut-London Lancet.

TERMS or SUBSCRIPTION
But One Trne Handshake.

The new kind Of handshake, "in
high seconde, " as the language Of fenc-
ing goes, was, and perhaps is, popular
with third rate "smart people" who
had q baronet for a cousin or an uncle
who was "a colonel in the army. These
brainless beings, says the London News,
had probably heard that some prince OF
princess shook hands in high seconde,
perhaps, because II. r. IL. had hurt his
royal arm or fer some such blameless
reason. This theory Of the origin of the
high crook is mere conjecture, but sure
ly no less potent cause could have
brought in the custom of raising the
hand above the shoulder" OF course
the custom has reached America, and
being totally senseless in its inception
has been initiated by the citizens. The
gregariousncss of human nature, its bo-
vine imitativeness, has never been more
oddly illustrated than by the transatlan-
tic adoption Of u second rate freak OF
British misses and British Johnnies.
The fact illustrates the old anecdotes of
how ruffs were universally worn be-
cause o royal person had q scar on her
neck. Westward the course of folly
takes its way, for q similar vagary of
New York would not soon devastate
this island.
The old handshnke is the only true
handshake, and it ought to be studied
and practiced in all its delicacies by
the young man who would succeed in
life. He must know how to be bluff and
hearty. how to be caressing and insinu-
ating. yet mot too bold" and he must
never be lifeless and indifferent, for peo-
pie resent this attitude. Probably Haz-
lit was so much hated because to shake
hands with him was like grasping a
cold boiled founder.
