Tbe S:orm in the East. The "Woman-Hater" is finished in the prscent Part. It was time to draw to a close, writes tbe author, for tbe womau-UaLur in epoilt by being married, mar-ried, and tliu oilier characters are utlably provided for. i,-r r -i , - t in iwtuijr j. cam oi .iricuii j.ruvui is a concise account of all that has bsen done by individual explanations, giving a fair general idea of what that continent ia, of what it is capable of being made, and of the people by whom it ia occupied at present. "How I Caught my First Salmsn" will be pleasant reading for angleri, who may be contemplating an excursion excur-sion to the less frequented salmon-runs salmon-runs of Canada. Thirty-four pages are occupied with a discussion ol "Lord Derby'B Dispatch" Dis-patch" and "The Storm in the East." The aim of the firat article is to vindicate vindi-cate the policy of the dispatch; and in the second article an attempt ia made to place tbe coudition of the war before the reader, and to point out some of the contingencies which may ufFect the result. The writer prudently abstains from prediotion. "There are good reasons why Russia should final iy win, if she can bold out, ana n none but tue lurks reBisi her. But then, aain, sho cannot probably hold oat, and Turkey may find allies." Tbe periodicals reprinted by The Leonard Scott Publishing Co. (41 Barclay ttreot, N.

Born with the curfew cur-few bell in feudal barbarism, the mailed knight shook hands with the steel-clad warrior before tbe deadly combat. The cowardly duellist and brutal prize fighter, under the glamour of the code of honor, imitates the custom before committing the murder. Preacher and hangman also shake hands with the condemned before the black cap ends the diBguat-intr diBguat-intr exhibition. All nations have their peculiar greetings. The Japanese press the floor with their forehead, the Chinese kneel, the Arab bends himself double in his salaam, tbe Germans kisB on both cheeks, Fijis rub noses, some Indian tribes press stomachs; but nobody shakes hands but Christian nations. I have talked with S00,000,000 Asiatics who never suaks. Emperors, kings, queens, shahs, czars, sultans, khedivea, pashas only shake with their own order. Am I less than they? Mine was the instinct in-stinct of tblf-preBervation. Hand shaking ia eft times impertinence. Contain; t d-Hows from it easily. Children m-v, r shake. How ab;urd it would k,uk to Bee two three-year olda go through the Grant and Hayes Dump-handle motion. |
