a Street Duel.

There was a street duel at Mont
gomery on the evening of the 3lst ult.
between j. &. Montgomery, the popu.
lar eX-mayor of that town, and Col. b.
w. Moore, an attorney at law, which
took place in front of the postofice
there. 1t seems that Moore was argu-
ing In front of the postoflice over some
private matter and he insulted Mr..
Montgomery, who resented it by knock
ing him down. When Moore arose he
pulled 32-calibre revolver and fired at
Montgomery, the ball passing into and
was stopped by his overcoat. Mont.
gomery then drew his revolver and fired
at Moore twice as rapidly as he could
pull the trigger. The first ball struck
Moore in the foot and the second in the
thigh. Moore then fired second shot,
which went wild. Montgomery then
rushed. upon Moore and threw him to
the ground, and catching his pistol BY
the barrel prevented him from pointing
lt at him again. A by-stander then
caught Moore's pistol and wrenched it
from his hand. Moore was removed to
the drug store and from there to his
home where his wounds were examined
and found to be painful but not serious.
The Gdsette reporter called on Mr..
Montgomery at his home, and when
asked what he had to say and how he
came to shoot Moore he said, Moore
insulted me and l knocked him down.
l never thought of shooting him until
he shot at me, then in seif-defense
shot. 1t was either shoot and shoot
quick or be shot. 1 took the former
alternative and shot him. '-Kana,cha

Variety of Means of Salutation as PraOs
tfced by Different People.
"'Tis certaif,'' said Dick Steele of
kissing. mature was it's author and that
it began with the first courtship." But
this is incorrect. IT'S certain that to
many human tribes kissing is I'M
known. Instead of saying kiss me,
they say smell me-" and this, doubt
less, represents an earlier form OF salu-
tation. The kiss is much later than the
dance 1t is still unknown among many
races and may be called conventional
Some nations smell and rub noses, IKE
horses, in salutation, and where two
Frenchmen will run and kiss each 9TH
er, two central Africans will deliber-
ately spit by way of friendly greeting,
according to the Spectator. DR.. ray
lor says: 1.-THE idea of the kiss being
an instructive gesture is negatived by
its being unknown over half the Worio,
where the prevailing salute is that by
smelling or shifting, which belongs 10
Polynesians, Malays, Burmese and 9TH
er Indo-Chfnese, Mong0ls, etc, extend
ing thence to the Eskimo and westward
to Lapland, where Linnaeus saw rela-
tives salute by putting their noses to-
gether" The kiss has to be taught to
children. Preyer, in his excellent book,
''The Mind of the Child states that at
first they are ayerse to, and even fear
full of the performance. However this
may be, it is certain that Europeans
speedily take to it as though to the
manner born. Oscillations were far
more common in the good old times than
at present The custom which most
delighted Erasmus when in England
was that the girls all kissed him. When
ceasing to be performed some OF these
ceremonies leave their trace in Ian
guage. Thus both Austrians and Span
iards say: 81 kiss your hands" as
polite term for returning thanks. John
Bunyan was very different man from
Erasmus, and in his Grace Abound
ing" he saws: 1.-The common saluta-
ton of women I abhor; it is odious to
me in whomsoever I see it, And to
those who defended it as the holy kiss,
he pertinently asked: why do they
salute the most handsome and let the
ill-favored go?''

donned new uniforms of gray and black.
The girls first proposed to wear uni
