cm;,! : halfnot for-et the first
time I saw General I Garfield. It
was the morning alter 1 reou lent
Lincoln's assassination. I lie country
was excited to its utmost tension,;
and New York t itv sinned ready
for the scenes of the French rcvolu- j
lion. The intelligence of Lincoln's j
murder had leen Hashed by the;
wires over the land. The news- j
paper headlines of the transaction j
were set up in
the largest type, and
the high crime was on every one s
tongue. Fear took hold of men's
minds as to the fate of the govern
ment, for in a few hours the news
came on mat me reward s inroai
cut, and that attempts had Wen
was
made ujon the lives of others of the
government ollicers. Posters were
stuck up even-where, in great black
letters, calling uimh the loyal citi
zens of New York, Urooklyn, Jersey
Citv and nei-ihl Hiring tilaees to meet
around the Wall street exchange i
and give 'Xpniin to their senti
lnent-. It was
a kai:k and Ti:iii:n:i.K Hon:.
hat mirlit come next no
one
could tell, and men spoke with
bnied breath. The wravh of the
workingmen was simlv nneontroll
able, and revolvers and knives were
in tlie hands of thousands of Lin
coln s friends, ready, at tlie hrst op
port unity, to take the law into their i undulating, something like mat i
own hands, and avenge the death of i the inch or measuring worm, but
the martyred President ujon any or j without so much elevation to its
all who dared to utter a word against jback. It has a ravenous appetite,
him. F.Icven o'clock a. M. was the I and evidently possesses strong or
liourof renleivous. Fifty thousand j gans of digestion, asit is continually

With a few to whom FjK-cial favor j

silence, waiting for General Butler, j
who it was announced, had started
from Washington, and who was
either aire;

hundred generals, judges, statesmen, j
lawyers, editors, clergymen and
others were in that room waiting;
for Butler's arrival. We stepped!
into the balcony to watch the fear-j

length the batons of the jKUce were
seen swinsmz m me air. tar up on
the left, parting the crowd and
pressing it back to make way for
the carriage that moves slowly and
with difficulty jogs through the com
pact multitude. Suddenly the si
lence was broken and the cry of
'Butler !' 'Butler !' 'Butler !' rang out
with tremendous and thrilling effect,
and was taken up by the people.
But not a hurrah! Not one! It
was the cry of a great eople, asking j
lo know how their President died.
The blixnl lntunded in our veins,
and the tears ran like streams down
our faces. I low it was done I forget,
but Butler was pulled through, and
pulled up, and entered the room,

And they were restless and slumber
ed crosswise and kicked, so that
Mustapha slope not a wink that
night, neither closed he his eyes.
And about the fourth hour after
midnight his uncle smote him on
the back and spoke unto him, say
ing: "Awake, arise, rustle out of this
and wash your face, for the liver and
bacon are fried and the breakfast
waiteth. You will find the well
down at the other end of the cow lot.
Take a towel with you."
When they had eaten his Uncle
Ben spake unto him saying : "Come,
let us stroll around the farm."
And thev walked about eleven
miles. And his Uncle Ben sat him
upon a wagon and taught him how
to load hay. Then they drove into
the barn and he taught him how to
unload it. Then they girded up
their loins and walked four miles,
even into the forest, and his Uncle
Ben taught him how to chop wood,
and they walked back to euppcr.
And the morning and the evening
were the first day, and Mustapha
wished that he were dead.
And after supper his Uncle Ben
spoke once more, and said : "Come,
let us have some fun." And so they
hooked up a team, and drove nine
miles down to Belcher's Branch,
where there was a hop. And they
danced until the second hour in the
morning.
When the next day was come
which wasn't long, for the night was
already far spent his Uncle Ben
took him out and taught him how
to make rail-fence. And that night
there was a wedding, and they danc
ed and made merry, and drank, and
ate, and they went to bed at three
o'clock, Mustapha prayed that death
might come to him liefore breakfast
time.
But breakfast had ah early start
and got there first, And his Uncle
Ben took him down to the creek,
and taught him how to shear sheep.
And when the evening was come
they went to a spelling school, and
got home at the first hour after mid

There is a mode of declaring by
the words "hc has kicked the bucket"
that a person is dead. There is a
tradition that one Balsover, having

futurity, and it was up with him
that moment. 1 here is a story ot a : rations. It is thought, and justly,

A curious piece of history is wraj

posing it to be, indesd dcribed as
many etymologists have considered,
from the Latin "police truncus," one
that is deprived, or who Iris depriv
ed himself, of his thumb. We know
that in old times a self mutilation
of this description was not infre
quent on the part of some cowardly,
shrinking fellow, who wished to es
cape his share in the defense of his
country. He would cut off his
rirrht thumb, and at once became in
capable of drawing the bow, and i
thus useless for wars. It is not to ; taxes, will have a property in land

Tannsi tt Salotatlon. I
Of tie many 'forms of salutation, ,
the custom of shaking hands is the ;
most common among civilized na
tions. It undoubtedly comes from
remoU:.'.1arl4iri6ni;wl'ien two inrn
meeting g;tvf each other their weapon
hand.4 as a security against treachery
or sudden attack.1 On the European
continent it is usual ;i'or tueuu who
are intimate to kiss one another, but
this custom prevail.-? onlv among la-j
. .1 1 . Ti- t i
dies in tins country aim orrai jmi
tain. In the greater jiortion of Ger
many it is an act of ioliteness to kiss
the hand of a lady : but this privi
lege is allowed in Italy only to near
relatives, while in Russia it is ex
tended to kissing the forehead. In
the East and among the Sclavic na
tions the character of salutations is
quite different, The custom of
throwing one's self upon the ground
and kissing the feet of the monarch
prevails among the Persians. In
China an inferior upon horseback
meeting a superior dismounts and
waits till the latter has passed. In
Japan the inferior removes his san
dals when meeting his sueriors,
crosses his hands by placing his
right hand in the left sleeve, and
with a slow, rocking motion of his
lxxly, cries out: "Atigh! A ugh!"
(Do" not hurt nie). In Siam the in
ferior throws himself upon the
ground before his superior, the latter
sends forward one of his slaves to
see whether the former has been
eating anything, or carries with him
any smell at all offensive. If he
does, he is immediately kicked out
without ceremony, but if not the
attendant raises him up. In Ceylon
the inferior on meeting a superior
throws himself upon the ground, re
peating the name and dignity of the
latter, who appears to take little no
tice of the prostrate form as he passes
it. Among some tribes of the Ameri
can Indian the custom is to salute i
by rubbing noses together. This
custom is also common in tlie
Friendly and Sticicty islands, where
it is returned by each taking the
hand of the other and rubbing it
upon his own nose and mouth.
The Moors of Morocco ride at full
sliced toward a stranger, as if they
intended to run him down, and, on
arriving near, suddenly stop and fire
a pistol over Ids head. In the Pelew
islands the inhabitants grasp either
the hand or foot of the one they wish
to salute, and rub their face against
it. The Arabians shake hands six
or eight times, but, if jiersons of dis
tinction, they embrace and kiss sev
eral times, also kissing their own
i hand. Yemen persons of rank per
mit their fingers to be kissed, after a
lonir refusal. In Turkey it is the
custom to place the hands upon the
breast, and bow to the person saluted.
They are erhaps the most affection
ate in Burniah; fancy the following:
A gentleman meets a lady or another
gentleman, and applies his mouth
and nose closely to their cheek and
draws in the breath strongly, as if
smelling a delightful perfume with
both mouth and nose. Hence, in
stead of saying "Give me a kiss," a
Burmahan would say "Give me a
smell. " Ch icrifio In ter- Oren n.

As sages in old times assert ;
The happy man's without a shirt."
"Bill Campbell," as he was famil
iarly called, made much and saved
little money, for he had no idea of ?
its value. 1 le endorsed for every- f

One day, thc Sheriff, in replv to
to Mr. Campbell's question, "Wha't
the news?" said:
"I had to sell out your house and
lot for the debt you owed as securi
ty to Mr. Hill.
"Oh that's nothing," answered
Campbell ; "the property is not
lost; it has only changed hands."
Mr. Campbell was an easy-going
bachelor, and had the reputation of
being one of thc most slovenly dress
ed lawyers in the State. On one oc
casion as he was about leaving home
to attend the legislature, his sister
informed him 'that she had packed
a dozen new shirts in his trunk.
"Now brother," she said, "do be
more particular about -our dress,
and don't forget to put on a shrit, at
least; twice a week. It's very mor
tifying to have you go about look
ing so dirty."
On his return home at the close of
the sessoin, she congratulated him
on his hearty appearance.
"Whv you have grown as fat as a
pig," sfie" remarked they must have
fed you well at the capital !"
"Yes, they take good care of us,"
he replied, "for they are always in
want of some appropriations."
Looking into her brother's trunk,
and finding but two shirts, she call
ed ouf :
"Where, brother, are those new
shirts, I gave you ?"
"ikm't vou find them .in the
trunk?"
"No, I see but two."
"Possibly I may have some on
me."
An examination disclose that he
was wearing six shirts, a fact which
accounted for his apparent improve
ment in flesh. ' .
A Busy Scene in New Tort.
The place to see all the world,
writes the New York correspondent
of the Alta California, is the corner
of Fifth avenue and Fourteenth
street and Union square, west side.
Here the throng is so dense that it is
almost like coining out of a theater,
and the lobby would represent the
street, or the street the lobby, which
ever you like pay your money, etc.
It is a perfect pimorama and variety
fair people, all well dressed, for no
other sort venture in this neighbor
hood. The stores, like the streets,
are crowded from morning till night
with eager women, all intent upon
shopping, lniying, until one wonders
where all the money comes from that
they spend apparently so recklessly.
It is almost impossible to get up to
a counter and get waited upon.
Every window is blocked up by tlie
pwple looking at the display of hats,
silks, dresses, works of art, and bric-a-brac.
The rage for the latter is
growing more intense. Every dry
goods store js a magazine of art, and
speaking of that, those that were
once confined to tlie specialties, all
dry poods, for instance, now include
in their stock every known variety
of small objects of art and perfumery,
soaps, toilet articles, stationery, fancy
boxes and Chinese goods. The rage
for the latter is something wonderful.
All along Fourteenth street are little
street-shojis- and stands, vendere of
Chinese bric-a-brac, c.
Thc man who sells sieves is in the
holesale business. -
