 fresh from the fashionable circles of Lon don, instead of kissing the ladies in the hearty old English way. simply bowed profoundly to each in turn, and with such grace and assurance was this done that he won all hearts, and kissing at once went out of fashion. There is no young gentlewoman," laments the poor squire. within several miles of this place has been kissed ever since his appearance among us." From all this it is clear that in the days of Queen Anne the once uni versal mode of salutinS lady was no longer fashionable in town, and was nearing it's end in the country.
 The excessivxely familiar salutation was succeeded by bows and curtsies of great dignity and alarming profundity, and these again became less and less ceremo- nious until the whirligig of time has brought back the reign of familiarity in aonther way. m the somewhat casual and offhand How do you do?" which, nine times out of ten, implies no inter- est whatever in the health of the person addressed, but is simply a meaningless formula of greeting. The still more meaningless Good morning" is of later date than How do you do?' The earlier forms which long preceded the latter phrase were Good morn" and Good morrow" which both date from the four teenth century. The latter is no longer in use in actual conversation, though the poets have a weakness for it.

Killing of Fitzgerald by W. Godfrey
 Huntar IT.

New Orleans, Dee. I6.-Senor Agulas Rosa pima, editor of The Diaro Americana at Guate- mala City, arrived here last night on the steam ship Breakwater. He says he was within two squares of the killing of William A Fitzger- aid by W. Godfrey Hunter. Jr. and declares that Hunter shot in self defense.
 Fitzgerald fired first and Hunter then be- gan shooting, his first bullet disabling Fitz- Eeralds shooting arm. Hunter fired three shots into Fitzgerald's body and ~when Fitz- gerald turned to escape another bullet caught him in the back. Hunter was with Bailey and the meeting with Fitzgerald was accidental Fitzgerald slapped Hunters face and they grapped until Fitzgerald pulled away and drew his pistol.
