On the Variotui Xodes of Saltation.
The modes of salutation, as practiced
by the different natious of the earth,
are as cations as some of them are curi
ous and fool;sh. In tho performance
of those salutations there necessarily
exist different cilktoms.
' Every nation imagines it employs
the most appropriate and most reabon
able ones. Even the South Sea Island
ers consider their own clumsy core
nionit.,s superior to those of the most
civilized and enlightened nations of
Eu rope.
These various ceremonies may be re
duced to two kinds—to reverences or
salutations, and to the touch of some
part of the hainan taidy. Many of
these display great refinement and
taste ; while others are remarkable for
their simplicity and ludicrousness.—
he first we shall notice is the practice
cf shaking hands. This custom is not
only very ancient and nearly univer
sal, but has been alike participated iu
by religion and Notiety, and may be
thus explained :
In the early chivalrous times it was
customary for two combatants to tight
only with the right hand ; and when
the one succeeded in disarming the
other they -graitptal each other by the
• right hand. This was dons as a mark
of future friendship, and because, While
they bold each other by the hand,
neither was snppoeed to have the power
to inflict further violence. The prac
tice of bowing. now carried to such a
high state of perfection by the French
people, also had its origin in the days
of chivalry, when honor was valued
more highly than life, and is a mark of
entire submission. It took its rise, it
l ig said, about the time when decapita
tion was almost the universal mode of
execution. The condemned criminal
was led to the place of execution and
'made to he down with his neck on the
block, when, at a given signal, the exe
cutioner severed the head from the
body. After a time the proud and
high-spirited txrt.l. s would not submit
to a hat they considered a dishonor,
and, instead of placing the neck on the
block, they stepped boldly forth, in
clined the head forward, and bade the
executioner strike the fatal blow while
standing. The practice of eourtesying,
signifies a •supplication for mercy, and
originally meant nothing more nor less
than that the lady was ready to fall
upon her knees to obtain a pardon or
some desired favor.
The next most important mode
salutation was that of kissing hands,—
From the remotest times men saluted
the aan, moon, and stars, by kissing
I the 'hand. This ceremonial action ren
!dered respectable the earliest institu
tions of Christianity. In the early
days of the Church it was customary
for Bishops to give their hands to be
kissed by the ministers who served at
the altar. This custom, however, died '
away as Paganism declined. '1 heprac
,
tiro of kissing bands is spoken of by
nomenaa prevailing at the time of the
taking of Troy; and the custom was
also not •nknown in ancient Rome.—
Cortes found it established at Mexico,
where more than a thousand lords ea
'
dated him, by touching the earth with
their hands, which they afterwards
carried to their mouths. " This cus
tom," observes a French writer, "would
now be entirely lost, if loves were not
'solicitous to preserve it in all its full
power." When the Arabs satiate each
other, it is generally in thaw terms :
Saban akikian, "Peace be with you";
laying, as they utter the words, the
right hand on the heart. The saluta
tion bektveso intimate friends in Persia
is made by iedettbe neck over sack
other's perk, sad then pressing *heap

There were five of us--yes, five as
happy fellows as ever were let loose
from college. It was "vacation," and
we concluded to make a trip to tho
Falls. Wo got aboard the cars at ti—,
and were soon traveling very rapidly
toward our destination.
'We had just seated ourselves and
'prepared for a comfortabto smoke,
when in came the conductor, and who
should it be but our old friend B—.
After the common salutations—“how
are you, old follow," ect., had passed,
Fred said be had somo business far us
to attend to.
"Out with it, old ebura,v said we;
"anything nt all will be aeceptable, so
let us have, it."
" Well, boys," said Fred, in a very
confidential tone, "in that next ear
there is as lovin' a pair as it was ever
my lot to see. They are going down
to Zl Ito get married, and now if
Tou can have any fan over it. just pitch
in. They must bo eared fur, and I
don't know who can do it better than
you."
.1-
In a mn'etent Fred was gone, and we
set our helots together, to form a plan
for taking a•nro of the losers.
"1 havili it, boys," said Bill Severs;
"we must intake that girl think that her
lover is a tarried--"
" That' it, Bill—that's it," said we,
not giving hint time to finish the
sentence. •
" That Ite to a married man and the
father of children," said Bill.
" That'a.i he game, boys, now let is
piny it on ti."
It dere red linen me to commence
ope ra t low*. Accordingly, I entered the
car in which wo wore informed the lov
ers were. IThe girl thinking, I suppose,
that she tunqt g:ve her lover all the

he, for the purpose of protecting her,
of course had thrown his arm around
her waist and so they sat, In real soft
lovers' rty,le.
All thi. I gathered at a glance. Step

N 11W (►xrosn, Sept. 27, 1859
To JAool Ross's, En., Sec.:v.,
Gin . ..murex conformity with a
previous arrangement with you, I have
made a preliminary survey of th pro
posed routes for a Railroad frOrn East
Berlin to York, which I commenced on
Monday the sth inst., and completed
on Saturday followieg, and herewith
transmit to you the result of the survey,
on which can be based a reliable estimate
of the cost of the work, yet in n perma
nent location vnriaus changes can be
made which would Considerably im
prove the line and lesson the oost.—
fbe time to which I was limited did not
penult me to make the changes, or place
the route on the exact ground it should
be, though enough data were obtuined
on which to base a reliable estimate.
The first line starts Nom Wolf's Al
ley, passing the foundry and crossing
the Conowago creek at an elevation of
twenty-three feet, where a Bridge "giv
ing 175 feet water way will be required,
and then rises by a grade of sixty feet
per mile, until wo gain the summit,
where it will require a cut of nineteen
feet, yet by diverging a few livadrod
feet to the left, this cut can be lessened
about ten feet. Wo thou descend by an
easy grade to where wo mast cross the
Conowago creek ?gain by a Bridge of
the same span and elevated 20 feet'
above the water, on an ascending grads
of 60 feet to the mile, for ;140U feet,
, where we connect with the lino that
crosses Beaver run near Ilershy's Mill:
Both lines pass near Butt's Mill before
they connect. Tho difference of the
two routes to where they connect is 11,-
095 cubic yards of embankment, and
18,579 cubic yards of excavation, and
the superstructure of the two bridges
crossing the Conowago will cost s3sou,
and require 680 cubic yards of stone
masonry, amounting to 82720. The
total difference of expense of the two
lines to where they connect will be
11470 including grading, bridging, iron,
spikes, tics and laying the track, all
complete—this awn is in favor of the
route crossing Beaver creek, altogether
avoiding the Conowago, although this
route is nearly mile. longer.
Tho second line sterns from the Alloy
where the survey of the route was run
in February last, connecting with the
Gettysburg Railroad at New Oxford.—
We have a level for 600 feet, than des
cend by an easy grade to Beaver creek,
near Ifershy's mill, which creek we
crosser an elevation of 18 feet, on a
then we run along the Conowago
creek, rising gradually with a very easy
gado to opposite Butt's midi, diverging
fIW the creek till an elevation of some
30 feet is obtained, when we leave the
creek and running along a line fence
and passing wi thin 100 feet of Mr. Zinn's
Barn, then crossing a few ridges to the
summit at Mr. Crist's, in whic h there
are few depressions and none that an
swer very well except at the sacrifice
of direct:Ms—however, by throwing
the lineivray from King's spring house
and run in front of Mr. Christ's house,
the cutting at the summit, which is 21
feet, can be reduced same 6or 8 feet
for a considerable &stance before we
renal the summit. The line then fol
lowsa very direct course from this point
for about four miles, and we have a lev
el country and easy grades and no cut
ting or embankment. scarcely exceeding
five feet. In the vicinity of Weigles
town and beyond, until wo reach the
Little Conowago, the lino crosses a few
ridges and will make the work a little
more costly. From the Little Conowa
go So York, a distance of about five
wiles, the line follows a pretty direct
fours() and with comparatively easy
grades and over a level country. We
bad several trials before wo could over
: come what I believe is termed Baylor's
summit, but by passing to the South of
Eisenhart's buikling,a, wo avoid heavy
gutting and embankments, and have
then a fine country to York, crossing
the Cotton's below Philadelphia street.
Hero it will require a Bridge giving 175
feet water way, and from near Newbury
street to the way ,
it would bo chea
pest to have about 400 feet of Trestle
work, as there will be a scarcity of
earth to make the embankment, and in
case of high water it.will make a good
outlet.
The indications for Rock excavation
are not very frequent, nor would there
bo min4ll to encounter. There will be
some iii the neighborhood of East Berlin
and near the Little Conowago, though
meetly of a loose nature. The Masonry
will not form an important item; though,
I may remark that where Masonry
will occur, excellent building stone may
be had. The quantities of embankment
and excavations are calculated upon a
road bed of
,12 feet wide, and sloped on
each side of acid Railroad one foot and
a half to each foot of altstatle. The
distance from East Berlin to fork, or ,
to whirs the line crosses the Codorns,
as the accompanying documents will
show, is nearly 15 utiles, but upon a In
cation I think it could be made at about
14} mass.
The following statement presents an
estimate of the entire cost of the work,
excepting the land damages and engi
neering. Jro lb milts, not illaltuting

road, fncluding the chairs, spikes, MOM

leaving about 08,911 02 per mile. The
cross ties 6 by 6 inches and 8 feet long,
and 2 feet apart from centre to centre.
The cost of the road from Oxford to
Berlin as - per my report and estimate
made last spring, including iron,
chairs, spikes and laying of this'traek,
lie 653,295—making the total:wad of
the road from the intersection with the
Gettysburg Railroad nt New Oxford to
York, 1188,960 . 26, and the distance 211
miles. , It is through a fine country for
construction,
and as will be seen by the
reports, can be made at a comparative
ly small cost. The advantages of this
road 'to the country through 'which it
will pass, will be great. In the vicinity
of East Berlin, the soil is of set+ a
character as to require fertilisers, and
limo which is the most active on that
soil, leas now to be hauled a aonsiders
ble distance in wagons. In the ViVAD
!ity of York, limestone of the best quali
ty for lime abounds, and this weld bo
i burnt and furnished to the farmers along
' the whole line of the road as far up as
10xford, and even along the Gettysburg
i Railroad, and this trade of itself would
not only be one which would greatly
I benefit the Agricultural community, but
In mild bring in a handsome revenue to
I the road, as it only requires a glariee at
j the lime tinsincss already started on the
Gettysburg Railroad, to give a feint
idea of what it would be on thiamine.
Again, in retum the agricultural pro
ductiveness of the soil wonld be greatly
increased, and more produce would be
transported over the read. Farmers
will not only be benefitted by the ac
commodation it will afford them in the
I lime trade, but they will have markets
I for all the products of their farms, equal
to the city markets,at home, instead of
Ihauling thtym 10, 15 or' 0 miles. They
are thus in every respect deeply inter
ested in a pecuniary sense in the cam
plction of this railroad. Not only those
I who live along or near the proposed
l route, but farms 6, 8 or 10 miles distant
' from i he road—especially nearer Berlin
than York, will be as much benefitied
las those along the-line, because they
I will have a market brought just =near
in proportion as those along the line.—
! Alt then should give you a helping
hand. East Berlin prosesses natural
advantages rarely found in atuliqtroand
any of our towns. Conowage all a die
stream of water, with abundance 'flail
for fine mill sites, and the peoplehavo
availed themselves of it 1 a otirtahrits

power for all kinds of maohinery....
I Coal, lumber and iron would be brought
lup on the railroad for manahatering
purposes, and business of verities kincht
!spring up as if by magic.
I The object to be attained by the coat
' pletion of this road will not mtly be to

' but by that means connect with the
iYork, Wrightsville and Gettysburg

:an excellent road bed is graded from
