But none of these appears so unredeemable, reasonless and intrinsically ungraceful as the sight of a ladv and gentleman fishing at each otner lingers with the gesticulations or Angloo oaxon saints in missal s. una aaiiy social problem to know how to deal with the man or woman who is affected with the new mania, and makes for you with this lofty dangling gesture.

It is no use holding out your hand in your own old familiar fashion. They won't come down to you, and perforce you have to get np to them. You -dont like doing it, and yet there is no help for it; and so, feeling supremely ridiculous, you, too, cock np vonr elbow and become as big an offender "as the rest of the world. There is not really anv positive vice or harm in the foolish practice. It is not, perhaps, so dangerous a trick as the rapidly growing tendency to talk slang, use the metaphors of the turf for all possible events, and habitually adopt the dialogue of the stable boy, but we insist on one point it is downright ugly and unmanly, and the sooner we go back to our old honest, simple way of shaking hands as eur forefathers did, the better.

If elevation of elbows is to be the new test of sincerity in greeting, we shall all, perhaps, in course of time, be getting on chairs to salute each other if we meet indoors, or running up ladders and doorways if we chance to come across each other on the streets, to show the fervor of our affection. Common sense killed many ngly forms of dancing, and the i lurch" ana tne "canaeiaDra crawl" were voted "bad form," and have gone out. Elbow cocking must, in like fashion, be censured and abolished and when it goes the way of the once popular "Grecian bend," society will, we are convinced, be grateful. The "jubilee jump" sadly proves, as did crinoline and other recent aberrations of social sense, that nothing is too fantastic or foolish to be temporarily adopted by our age. This pump handle mockery of the good old British hand grasp seems, however, really too pitiful a piece of nonsense to be left to die out quietly, as such follies always do die.

Let it be dealt with and dispatched to the limbo of nonsense incontinently! Let every man who has felt the grip of a friend's hand at the level of his heart refuse and disown the new form of salutation! Women will all drop it so soon as the other sex becomes ashamed of the innovation, and the best way to make them ashamed is to regard the practitioner of the "over shoulder delivery" as a muff and a manakin, not an Englishman. SOME GEORGIA SNAKES. AFew Tarns (That Kival the Marvelous Fiction of Baron Mnnchausen. Taylor Strickland, an intelligent colored man, was telling me about the big snake that he and James TutUe killed a few days ago in Kelley's bottom, near dimming, writes a correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal from that enterprising village. It was of the specia known as the bull, or horned snake, resembling in color the rattlesnake, and nearly seven feet in length.

It had a large, bull like head, a slender neck, and on he end of its tail a sharp horn two inches or more long. At sight of us, he said, it threw itself into an angry coil, with head up, ready for battle. "But that is not the first snake of that kind I ever saw. Years ago, before the war, when I was a boy, living with old Mass'er Strickland, we killed one during wheat harvest. The cradlers, on going to dinner, left their cradles in the shade of a large mulberry tree, and when we returned an enormous snake of this kind was found with his horn buried in the body of the tree, unable to free itself.

The leaves of the tree had already withered, and the tree died. Its stump is still there, and you can see it any time." "Dis snake, remarked an old darkey, "muser had er power o' fun in de pas twenty-five years. He muser mos split his sides laffin at dis nigger runnin' one time. I wuz in dar huntin' er stray calf, when I hear rami on blow; de noise made me feel sorter lonesome like when all of a sudden it blow off ergin, den I see that snake gittin' down tords wha' I wuz; right den I fo med thequick'us 'pinion I ever did. It wur a kase of 'mergency, and I incited that 'mergency.

It wuz er time for praying and speed. My legs never did work better cor dey did on dat knsion. Spec I run more'n a mile a minit, and eft hadnt been fur de creek he'd fetched me sho nuf. It was wide nnd deep dar, but I made one spring und jis touched to top o' de water uni made anoder spring nnd landed on de odder side. Spec da water change he min' for I see no mo' o' Mr.

Snake atter dat" "I remember of seeing one of those snakes," said Uncle Ed Davenport, who is a recognized oracle of incidents in tbe far away past "It was about noon of a hot June day that I was riding along between Warsaw and tbe state bridge, in what was then Forsyth county, but is Wilkes now, when some distance ahead I noticed an object stretched across the road, which on nearer approach, I found to be a very large snake, apparently dead, with a little king snake wrapped around just back of the head. Each was perfectly motionless, end for a time I sat there watching them, until, becoming tired, I dismounted, and walking np to them, tapped the little snake with my riding switch. It instantly uncoiled and crawled away a short distance. Curious to see the result, I stepped into the shade and sat down to watch. The king snake cautiously returned to within a few feet of the other, and flattened down to await movements of the larger; it hadn't long to wait Soon the large snake began to show signs of life, its body moved, it swelled out a little, then slowly raised its head: quicker, it seemed, than it would take any one to bat his eye, like a flash the king snake was around in the exact place choking out its life.

That evening my partner in passing saw the large snake dead, showing that the king snake had done just what it seems their mission to do kill the poisonous one. From tbe stumpy appearance of its tail, I judged it to have been the horned snake with the horn broken off." "The king snake is an interesting character in the reptile kingdom," remarked a drummer. "Years ago I bad a friend who was interested in developing some coal fields on the Black Warrior, in Alabama. One day they came into a den of poisonous snakes. The place seemed a reptile's paradise.

The hill was full of coal, but to stand on a moccasin, with a copperhead behind and a rattler before, placed coal at two' great a discount to make it profitable. An old sand mountain citizen came forward and offered to take the contract ot destroying for a five dollar bill, and only tvrenty-four hours' time to do it in, providing a quart of whisky was furnished to sorter cheer him up. The bargain was closed and the sand hiller left The next evening when my friend visited the place he was horrified to see 1SS venomous reptiles lying not a dozen feet from their tools, which a half dozen little king snakes had crushed the life out of." "I seldom ever tell a little incident that came under my observation one time," said another. "I have been on the road a good while in the northwest and needed recreation. The house suggested that I take a little trip down in Arkansas and mix business with pleasure by collecting a bad account from a broken customer, and hunting a little game by way of amusement I gladly accepted the proposed.

It only took fifteen minutes after my arrival to settle with the man by agreeing there was no hurry about payment A pair of pistols and nine dogs induced me into this friendly spirit; and the next day I sought the solace of the swamps. I had killed some small game and Bat down on an old log to rest, when I heard a growl and snapping sound in the direction of an old tree, a fork of which had been broken off some twenty feet above ground. Imagine my astonishment when I saw up this dead tree a bear industriously hauling out honey with one paw, snapping and snarling at the bees, who were just as industriously trving to sting the old robber away. I stood "thus for a moment looking at the head of bruin and tbe myriad of bees around, when, chancing to lower my gaze, I saw one of the bear's hind legs half way down tbe largest snake I ever saw. To say I felt a creeping sensation would be drawing it faintly.

There, within twenty yards, was the first wild bear I ever saw, and a snake of such enormous size it was swallowing it Did I kill the bear? Yes; and the snake too. But I quit tbe swamps next day, fearing a snake would toil one man who never told a lie." AY lien lights Orow Loos. The front ate and the hammock. The old bench in thegrrcve.

Wasliingfon Critic. John B. Hawley, attorney for the Elkhorn railway, was in the city yesterday. It is claimed that his mission was to try to induce Attorney General Leese to tbe rail road suit pending in the supreme court. It is also intimated that he will not be successful.

"It's just this." declares one of Lincoln's most enterprising business" men. "If this place is given fair treatment bv the railroads we will have a city of 100.000 people within the next three years. If fair rates are not given we will not have more than 50,000 inhabitants at the end of that time." There appears to be a general desire among the citizens to turn the city hospital over to tbe management of the ladies who in such an unselfish spirit have volunteered their services. They are much better fitted than the city council to look after the" needs of this institution. The council have other weightier subjects to engage their attention, and the city hospital is there bv neglected.

The absence of a first class gymnasium is sadly felt In thisjeity by younftmen fresh from the east, where the gymnasiums are the pride of many cities. This need will be provided for when the new T. M. C. A.

building is secured. It is the intention of the board to make the gymnasium one of the principal features of the association, and it will be equipped with an abundance of scientific apparatus. The present gymnasium is as complete as the size of the room will permit. The university students are in' a state of unrest, and all because the seniors are occasionally required to give orations in the chapel. Yesterday a dozen wretches captured the orator of the day as he was walking meekly toward the place and detained him by force until long after the time set for the exercise had passed.

The young gentlemen of the university are generally pretty level beaded, but in this case they come so near making fools of themselves as to lead to the suspicion that they desire to turn this into an eastern college. "This foreign missionary business is all nonsense. I am going to preach a big sermon against it one of these days. Here the women are sending about $200,000 out of the country to help the heathen when they really don't need help. There are plenty of women in every town in the country that need assistance more than the people of China, India or Japan.

Look at the condition of the 'shop for instance. You will find that they get only $4 or $5 a week. Six or eight dollars is big money for such work. How can a woman support herself on that? Everybody knows that it cant be done, and everybody knows what the results must be. Put that money that' is foolishly sent out into the dark every year into a fund for helping the poor working girls and it will be well spent.

There ought to be a fight started against the employers of these girls that will make them increase their pay or be boycotted. It will take lots of money for this work, and I think that ttie women ought to furnish it instead of fooling hundreds of thousands of dollars away on foreign countries as they do." A fat commercial traveller spoke in this strain as he basked in the smile of a steam radiator at the Windsor hotel yesterday morning. "You have already preached as long a sermon as I care to hear." This from a man sitting near a cadaverous chap, evidently a salesman for a coffin house. "It might be a little long for yon, but I could preach a good deal longer one on this subject. It is a live and practical topic I like practical things.

Give me a preacher who talks on live subjects, and above all, one who practices what he preaches." I see. By the way, how much did you say you had contributed to help these poor girls." "Well, you see there hasn't been a chance yet." "How much have you given the women for their missionary work T' Not any, of course," "And yet you feel privileged to criticise them for doing all they can to help the poor women in other countries. What right have you to say anything? If you think something ought to be done for other women why don't you go and organize a Society for Bettering the Condition of Shop Girls and Boycotting the Dealer who won't Pay Twelve Dollars a Week? There is a grand work for such a society if what you have told me is true." The fat traveller rose with an annoyed air and hastened to the bar to make a contribution to the national surplus. The "coffin man'! inquired the way to. St.

Paul's church and went down to attend one of the meet- ings. He was a missionary man "IT'S ENGLISH, YOU KNOW." Tbe Vsly Fai-liion of Hand Shaking 1'rbVAlent iu Loudon. What are we to say to the new fantastic, foolish, and extraordinary method of greeting which has of late been stealing in on us? asks the London Telegraph, fttiardly needs more than a single day's experience in social circles to observe that the noble art of shaking hands is being seriously tampered with. Two educated apparently well bred people meet, and they are beheld suddenly raising their elbows to the level of the shoulder; after this abrupt and ungraceful 'cock" of the arm, they mutually allow the hand to dangle in the air like a worm at the end of a rod and A swinging, pendulum like motion is then given to the palms, which somehow manage to collide in mid air, and a few feeble flaps ot a tentative and flabby character are supposed to indicate degree of mutual joy and pleasure is felt'at the meeting. Nothing so absurd and ridiculous has been silently imported into our habits and customs for many a long day, and we are constrained to ask who has introduced it, where did it come from, what on earth is the meaning of it, and as Mr.

Gladstone would say, what will it lead to? Our chivalrous old grandfathers had a graceful, courteous man ner of raising a lady's gloved fingers on the back of their own hand and lightly saluting with the lips; but they would as soon have thought of patting a fair friend on the back as or waving eievatea nanus in the mon. strously grotesque fashion which has for some nonsensical and incomprehensible reason been taking up in many of the best social circles during this year of jubilee. We confess we are not learned in the precise mysteries of the new school, and it may be, for all we know, that the degree of friendship intended to be expressed is, in some occult manner, suggested by the precise angle and elevation of the stuck out elbow. If we are only on terms of mild acquaintanceship with Jones, we may give him a six inch rise of the elbow and two wabbling undulations; Brown, who has, perhaps, done us a good turn, and who is by no means a bad fellow, may come in for a few inches more of elevation and a warmer wabble; while for Robinson, our bosom friend, is' perchance, reserved the fullest possible lift of arm, thrown up with a quick jerk and followed by a pendulum movement of thirty seconds' duration. The worst of it is that the custom is growing, and that imitative children are sure to pick it np unless sensible folk refuse to adopt it.

Gemer. It was for the plaintiiT, damages sUSo.50. Yesterday udge Field and a jury tried the cause of George Williams (colored) vs. J. M.

Knox et al The plaintiff was represented by Mr. Ricketts and Mr. Wilson of Messrs. Lamb, Ricketts Wilson, and the defendant by Messrs. Billincsley Woodward.

The action was one in replevin, to decide the right of property in two horses, a Smith wagon and a set of double harness, all of the value of The defendant, Knox, it ap peared, had commenced foreclosure proceedings on a mortgage covering the property in controversy, which mortgage eeonred a note for $oOU given by the plaintiff to John P. Dorr and transferred by him to the Capital National bank, and by the bank to the defendant Knox. The contention of the plain-till' was that he was not responsible on the he was for the balance of a loan, if any, obtained in 1SS5 from John P. Dorr, lie had honored, he claimed, and had g.ven his note for 310. He had made some 3' merits, and then, fearing foreclosure proceedings, he had substituted for the old note a new one for $300.

He contended further that the transaction was usurious, and that all for which be could be held was the balance he owed on the $300 he first borrowed, and further that the transfers of the second note were without consideration and void; aiuLso the plaintiff asked that the property in controversy should be adjudged to him, and he only required to pay tbe balance due a9 above stated. The defease was a denial of all the allegation of the plaintiff. The note, it was argued, was in nowise usurious, but a straightforward legal transaction. The note was transferred for a valuable consideration by Mr. Dorr to the Capital National bank.

and by the bank in the same wayto Mr. Knox, who was an innocent holder. The note was not paid when due, and the daiendant Knox therefore acquired title to the property, and toot possession thereof under the mortgage with a view to foreclose. The replevy then took place, which replevy the defendant contended could not affect his rights. After the jury had been sworn Mr.

Woodward moved ior a judgment for the defendants under the pleadings for the reason that the property v.aa taken possession of under a chattel j-iortgage and an action for replevin will not 1h by Ltte mortgagor against the mortgagee utter conditions broken as shown in the 1 leadings, tne only action that could lie being one- in equity. After a discussion on this legal point between Mr. Woodward and Mr. Ricketts, the motion was overruled, and exception allowed. Testimony was adduced oi both sides as to the transaction and then counsel addressed jury and court adjourned.

fEHALE ATTIRE. How Often a Woman Should Change Her Dress. Philadelphia Record. The question how many times a day a woman of good standing ought to change her gown is one that has been subject to great deal of discussion at the various summer resorts this season. Naturally, numerous opinions have been forthcoming.

It is, however, needless to say that the matter can properly be settled by refinement and good taste and nothing else. Of course every vulgar par-vena who goes to a watering place with dozens cf trunks and hundreds of gowns, who covers herself with jewels, and whose sole object in life is to make herself as conspicuous as possible, changes her dress certainly three and very of ten four times a day. A woman of this sort knows perfectly well that her only claim to distinction lies in her clothes, and consequently she must dress or die. It actually happened a few wesks ago that a very brilliant and charming actress was dubbed "no lady" because she wore but two gowns each day, one in the morning and the other in the evening. It would thus seem that a woman's social position, in the eyes of a ceatrin class of ignorant vulgarians, is to be determined by the extent and exhibition of her wardrobe, and if this be actually the case it is a comparatively easy task to distinguish the newly rich from those women whose pretentions to gentility are well founded.

It would be difficult to discover why any lady should think it incumbent upon her to dress oftener at a showy watering place than in her home. True refinement, on the contrary, would point to an absence in the toilet of all that was calculated to attract attention. No woman in any kind of society whatever who understands what is due to herself should dress more than three times a day. A morning dress, indeed, ought to be worn until dinner time, unless shopping, driving, or visiting entails the putting on of a street costume. In summer street gowns are not necessary.

Therefore, twice a day should the dress be changed, and no oftener. Women who parade as many as four and five gowns daily at summer hotels are generally persons who would not be tolerated in good society. Auction Sale.

A young lady, an invalid, residing at San Rafael, on9 of the health resorts of California, illustrated St.

James' assertion that every kind of bird has been tamed by taming two free, wild humming birds. Her doctor ordered her to recline daily during the summer on rugs spread on the garden lawn. While taking this agreeable prescription one day, she noticed that two humming birds were inspecting her from a safe distance. Their wise little heads, turned to one side, showed their curiosity, and she, taking advantage of it, planned for a more intimate acquaintance, i She plucked a fuchsia, attached it to a branch oyer her head, and filled it with sweetened water. In a few minutes the two little birds thrust their tender bills down into the flower and took long daughts.

The next day she filled a fresh fuchsia with honey. The actions of the birds showed that they preferred it to sweetened water. In a few days the birds became so tame and so impatient that they scarcely waited for her to leave the flowers before thrusting their bills into the honey. One day, while she held the flower she was filling with drops from a spoon, the birds caught the drops as they fell, and then, becoming impatient, darted their thread like tongues into the contents of the spoon. The two birds were both males, and therefore fought for possession of the honey filled Cower.

But they united to keep other humming birds away, and when a wasp or a bee came near, it was chased away. When the beginning of the rainy season drove the young invalid into the house, she tried to coax them to the parlor window. At first they acted as if they thought there was some mistake. They would hum about the window, where she stood with the flower and the spoonful of honey, or watch her from a neighboring branch, but not a sip would they take. But at last one bird, responding to her call, hovered about ber hand, and took I from it repeatedly drops of honey.
