12 THE CRAZE OF HANDSHAKING. Prominent Men Whose Hands Are Grasped by Unthinking Thousands. from the Chicago .Vers. _ “When is this habit of continually l&aktog hands to cease?" said a gen jklwnan to a reporter the other day in the bwtunda of the Palmer House, after has had been violently shaken by at least five passing acquaintances. "Do you know,” he continued, “that it is becoming a horrid nuisance and it is getting worse and worse every day! The English are bod enough, but we are fifty times more so. If a man is of any eminence or reuown lie is often intro ducea to forty or fifty people in a string, and to omit to shake hands with any one of them would be considered an act of disre spect. Even the waiters and porters at the hotels expect you to shake hands with them on vour second arrival, if they re member your face and you "tipped'' them on your previous visit. I was stopped o*l the street the other day by a hack driver, who insisted on shakiug hands with me. It's all very well to be popular, but there is a limit to everything. Look at the President, I wuuder how many thousand shakes he aas to give in tho course ot the yeari I think the limit of republican simplicity was reached the other day when the chief magis trate of 30.00u.000 jssople had to shake hands withjthat brute, John L’Sullivan. They aay Lincoln used to take As revenge out of some too-importunate hand-shakers by giving them such a squeeze as to cause them to remember him with pain for a few hours after the infliction of his cordiality. The nuisance is equally bad in summer as iu winter. In summer you are sure to meet some fat and greasy friend, who forth with extends his flaccid and perspiring digits and holds your hand m hi* until the sudorific poultice becomes absolutely unbearable. In the winter, too. your shivering fingers have to creep from out the vary corner of yvar overcoat pocket into the relentless clutc h of some skeleton whose band is an icicle, tend who borrows fima your scanty stork what ever animal warmth there may be. The Parisian digs his bristly chin into your cheek and hugs you like a bear; the Indian approaches more soberly with the pipe of peace; the Laplander pick* up a hand ful of hard snow and mbs it on your no*. Now any or all of these molts together I prefer to our abominable tumd-m tkuiv. I'll let the Frenchman dig his beard into me, or smoke with the Indian, bnt this hand shaking absurdity I can in no manner or by any available philosophy abide. “Did you ever cousider how people first began to shake hands?” he continued “Not Well, then, sit down here and I'U fell you what I think about it, for I have given this subject some study. “My opinion is that in early and harba Bus times when every savage or semi- Hvrge was his own law giver, judge, Bldiei. and policeman, and had to watch Ber his own safety, in default of all other Bqtection, when two friends or acquaiu- Bpccs, or two strangers desiring to be HSynds or acquaintance*;, when they chanced ■ in ere. offered each to the other the right End alike of offense and defense, the hand Bat wields the sword, the dagger, the club, Be tomahawk, or other weapon of war. Bn-h did this to show that the hand was and that neither war nor treachery Bis Intended. A mas cannot well stab Bother while he is engaged in the Bt of shakiug hands with linn unle* he he a Bttbte-dyed traitor and villain and strives B aim a cowardly blow with the left while Bving the right and pretending to be on Bod terms with him. Did you ever observe Bnt ladies never shake hands with the cor- Hdity of men unless it be witb each ot her; Bie reason is obvious. It is for them to re- Bive homage, not to give it. They eaunot expected to show to persons oftheother Bt a warmth of greet mg which might be Btsmterpreted unless such persons are very Bbsely related, in which eases hand-shaking ■ not needed, and the lips do more ago -a B duty, ■*;Bvty man shakes hands according to Be nature, whether it be timid or uggres- Bve. proud or humble, courteous or churlish. Elgar or refined. There is certainly a great Bt in hand-shaking, but I tell you the Kind B handshake I hate, and that is one of the what I call the jolly-rood-fellow hand shakes. One of those fallows will grasp your hand, squeeze it until the tears run Jk>wn your checks, and then, using your arm B the same manner as a pump handle, will K on shaking all the time he is talking to Em, letting it rest easy for a moment or so, Bith the exception of a little spasmodic Bake now and again, only, however, to Bart in afresh. The first tiriie yon imagine Be is doing it because he is extremely glad E> see you, but when you sec him manifest Be. same cordiality toward people whom ho Bet for the first time yesterday, and toward Kcse with whom he ha* t<cen intimate fbr Bars you know he is a humbug, or is, at By rate, acting from habit. But of all the Ban to be avoided the man who squeezes B>ur hand in an excruciating manner on a Else pretense is tho worst. Ho dislocates Bout joints to convince you that he regards Bou highly, and as soon as you arc out of Bght forgets you or thinks that you are no Brest shakes’’after all, or, w orse still, abuses Bou behind your back. V “Another and even more odious kind of Band-shaker is he who offers you his hand, But will not permit you to get fair bold of B. To be treated with tins cool contempt or Eijiercilious scorn which such a mode of saluation implies is • worse tlrnu not to be saluted at all. If hand- are to be shaken let it be done properly. Another species of hand shaker I detest is the man who offers you one finger instead of five, as much as to say 'I am either too preoccupied myself or think too little of you to give you my whole band.’ With such a man toe interchange of buy but the barest and scantiest courtesy it rendered difficult by any one who has a particle of self-respect. “Yet another objectionable man is the one that shoves out his left hand in greeting you. That is discourteous, sometimes inten tional and sometimes not, but it is an act that- no true gentleman would commit ■here is really no reason why it should be Bore discourteous than to kiss the left cheek Extend of the right, but doubtlees the ous- Bnn that makes the right hand imperative Bi all sincere salutations date* from those Body times when hand-shaking first began, And the hand that shook or was shaken ni friendship was of necessity weapon lass. The poor left hand that orie would think ought to be of a* much value and strength as the right, just as the left foot or leg is as strong as the right foot or leg, because they are both used equally, has fallen into disrepute as well as into comparative disuse, until it lias become an accepted phrase to say of any proceeding that is inauspicious, artful, sly, or secretly malicious, that it Is “sinister’'—that. Is left handed. I do not, remember, object to shake hands on certain occasions, but it is this per petual ‘shake, shake,’ with everybody that, j object to. It is pleasant t* touch the hand of an honest man or woman, and to be on such term* of acquaintanceship with either of the* masterpieces of creation as to jiue Wly you in the thought that you are their equal. Even to grasp the |W of an intelli gent dog, who hokls it up foe you to shake on being asked to do so is something pleas ant. For tho dog, unlike some men would Ksarn to give his pa w to one in whose eye and in whoso face he, by his fine instinct, in some respects the equal if not the superior of reason, discovered treachery or evil. As 1 have said, it is the continual hand-shaking with Tom, Dick and Harry that ought to be out a stop to. You know the story of the Scotchman who objected to hand-shaking which is apropos of this. Donald M/wdon ald’s ‘quid wife’ bad gone to Edinburgh to attend to some hub** and on her return her (mouse, who was mending a fishing rod, hardly looked at her and only grunted out; “K'u ve’ve came hack, gtiui wife!’’ “ ‘That have l, ItonaHl,’ she replied, ‘and am uni-o’ glad to see ye again, guid man.

From the Xeut York Evening Sun. In any corner of the globe an Irish man cannot lie found who has not heal'd of the ok! song, “Tbe Rakes o’ Mallow,” writ ten to the jaunty, rollicking air of “Sandy Lent tbe Man his Mull.” It is as well known to Irishmen as the air of "Patrick's Day” or “Garryowen.” The town of which it is written is a borough in the county Cork, Ireland, and that same town is the birth place of two of the brightest intellectual lights that have apiieared in the firmament of Irish politii* in the present century. William O'Brien, editor of United Ireland , and Thomas Osborne Davis, the grand and beloved luminary of the Dublin Xation, were born there, Thomas Davis was of Welsh extraction, a stench Protestant, educated at Trinity Col lege, Dubliu. aud one who turued all his mental power* and educational acquire ments into the cause of poor Ireland He is the author of 0109 of the grandest battle bal lads m the English language, uolenowledged to be unrivaled by the first of English oriuce, to whom its Irish sentiment* must be unpal atable. It is named “The Battle of Fonte noy.” Davis was born in Mallow in 181A and died in Dublin in IHAS One of the grandest eulogies ever pronounced was de livered over hi* new-made grave by Daniel O’Connell, the great Irish tribune, who passed away himself two years later. Williain O'Brien, who is to reach this city on Wednesday, is also a Mallow man His mental calibre can !*■ judged by everybody who has read his speeches in Canada ex posing Lord ne's conduct as a land lord in Ireland. His first entry into jour nalism was as a reporter on the Cork Da tig Herald, about 1870, to which he also con tributed novelettes that fascinated public attention away beyond Cork’s borders. He afterwards worked on the staff of the Du Iv lin Freeman's Journal, until Mr. Parnell, with his dincriminating eve for real worth and ability, asked him to'to assume the edi torship of fin' I reland A reporter met a fine old Irishman last evening, who, with all the vigor and vehem ence of youth, sang, “The Rakes o’ Mal low,” in honor of Mr. O'Brien’s coming to this city. One of the statists ran: Spending faster than It conies Beating waiters, bailiffs, duns, Bacchus’ true, begotten sens Live the rakes o’ Mallow. Too Full for Utterance. From the FUegende Platter. A clerk in a hanking house rwlehrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his conaectjoa with Die firm. Hchntul. the prtnriixU, hands him iu the morning a closed envelope in - htribal: “Ii memory of this eventful day.” The clerk gratefully receives the envelope without opening, but ou a gracious hint from the head of the firm be breaks the cover and finds—the photo of his master. "Well, what do you think of itf” inquired Bchniul, with a grin. “It’s just like you,” was the reply. THE MORNING NEWSPHPPH, JUNE 5, 1887--'TWMHHM(ES. H O NEKS FOK TH E PEOP LE. A SNAKE STOEY That Originated In North Carolina. From the Washington Star. “Tell about yer snake stories,” said Ous, “when Jake and I wont a gunning down in the mountain wilds in North Carolina, I had an experience in the snnke line, and saw a snake, such as I do not believe was ever seen or heard of before. “Jake wgs acquainted with the country and knew where there w as an old deserted cabin. This wo took |wsession of for t he few days we snatched from our business for recreation. Game w as plenty. It was in the fall of 1872: the nights were rather cool. 1 was not feeling wail; Jake had gone to tho spring tor water, and on the way Iwek he, stepp'd to jiick up some wood for tho even ing. “While salting there atone, by the dim light of a few small stieks, my mind running lxick to tho early days when the country was inhabited by the red nmu, and game was plenty, there came, a sudden sharp sound from the closed door, and, with the rapidity of lightuiug, something sue mod to Ixi going around the room. As it jatsscd iietween me aud the fire it seemed like a snake 8 or 10 feet Wig. In less time than it take* to tell this I should think it marie more than forty circuit* of the cabin. Another sharp thud at the door, and it was gone. Soon Jake came in, bring ing an armful of wood and a bucket, made of an old beef can. full of freak water from the spring. I told him what had happened. He laughed, and said I must be oomi&g down with Die fervor and getting delirious. If I was a Uttle unwell, I knew I was not what might be termed sick. But Jake laughed ou, and so rediculed my story that I said no more. “By the now glowing fire wo rooked our rations, armv fashion; smoked mir pipes, and talked of things in general. With a few boughs collected near l>g we made a fair bed. The next morning, us we lay there a montents alter waking, 1 saw Jake looking earnestly at the door. “ 'Wliat are you looking at?' said I. “ ‘At thews two nice round holes in that door. Jast look at them. They were not there yesterday.' “Then he got up aud examined them. He opeuened the door and lookod at them from the outside. “ ‘Bv jing*,’ said h, “that's mighty queer.’ "Then it seemed as though a thought flash ed across hi- mind. " 'Gus, what wa that yaru you was tell ing me lost night ?' “I repeated the story to hint ‘Wall, it is queer enough. 1 know too much about the snake tribe iu general to beliavothotatnake cou Id make, iu the maimer you words imply, such holes as these; but, nevertheless, it looks that way, by George, don’t it! Get up here anti "flie and look at thesa boles. Don't be lying there all day.’ “Bo I arose and Its iked at them. Thay were a mvrtery to us both, and more mys terious when, u tew moments later, we fottixi 1 Wo nlco, smoothlv-eut, hkieks, like hogshead bung*, one oufslile and ona with in the enbta, which fit the reepoctiva boles perfectly. “We went out to bunt for the day, and soma how strayed a long distance from the cabin; so did not succeed lu reaching it until quite late. As we approached the cabin Jake mo tioned to me to lay low. I knew by his PERSPECTIVE VIE \V. DESCRIPTION! OF DESIGN. Cost—sl,B/90 to -S“,000, for each house complete, except kitchen range. Special Features. —Alley-ways, - feet 8 inches wide, afford acccess to the rear doors anti backyards of three of the houses. The rear door of the fourth or corner house is reached from the side street. The second stories of two of tho bouses are enlarged by being built over the alley-ways.

Before I < ould reach him he was pinning something down to the ground with his gun. It proves to be a large snake. tVe made sure of it, aud then turned iu o\u‘ cabin and made our selves comfortable for the night. The uext morning we found the large dead snnke. " *A queer-looking head,' said Jake, “Yes; It was a queer-looking head. You know how a turtle draws his head into his shell. Well, thi snake had something that seemed to fit over hfs head, that could be drawn back and forth, like, say apiece of tooth-pointed stovepipe. On the end, which could lie thrown out beyond the head, there were sharp aud hard teeth, much like a tre panning instrument. Studying the dead specimen, I should sav that he must have had the power to throw this covering for ward and at the same time to give it a twist, and thereby make a neat round hole. “Jake now became more interested in my ‘yarn,' as lie termed it. He tusked more quest inns about it than I was able answer. “‘Weil, that boats the Dutch, don't it? We mast keep mum, though, when we get home, else tire folks will think we have been among the'moonshiners’;uid had some of their 'pine-top whisky.’ “Wo thought to bring the sjiecimen home with us, but the next night, wheat wc Sot back to the cabin, we found it occupied v some natives, and it seems they bod bruised the rerpent’s head with their heels till it wo* of no special value to any one. We spent the night with thorn, but no more snakes came around to pay a visit to that cabin while we were there-” Jackson Obeyed Ordors. From, the dan fh-ancbco Chronicle. ■William H. Lawrence is a well-known lover of tine field dogs, and a few days ago was the happy and smiling owner of an English blixxled bitch sent out to him by a gentleman who had received kindly social attentions at his hands. As is wall known, Mr. Lawrence will not allow any infraction of any orders isiued bv him, eitlier by the workmen employed on the Spring Valley plant or those in his own immediate ser vice. Lately lie ha. lieen much annoyed by the visit* of dogs from adjoining ranches, and, calling a man named Jackson, Lawrence gave him strict orders to shoot every dog found around the place. Mr. Lawrence then drove ott for the morning train, and was soon engaged in a learned discussion with different gentlemen iu the car with re gard to the necessary points which a dog should possest to render him a thoroughly valuable pile. Upon his return toward home ia the even ing he SI) ied Jactavin at some little liistance. with n shotgun over his shoulder, evidently guarding the premises from intruding dogs. “How’s Lucy f shouted Lawrence. “Dead!’’ yelled Jackson. “What's that f' cried Lawrence. “I said site's dead, air,” replied Jackson, tuwuriuglv. And aba was. Jackson bad killed the valuable annual, sotuig upon what, he be lieved u> be ins orders from Mr. Lawrence. It is not known what Lawrence said, but lie evidently worked off his feelings iu words, for Jackson still holds his place. “i ana your pardon, air." said the waiter to a guest who had about half finished Ids breakfast of soft biiited rag*, “but three eggs dou't seeiu fresh. I'll bring some others." “I Itig yon n buUgwn, walder," replied the Grisl’s Husband Convicted of Forgery. From the London Telegraph. The name of that celebrated goddess of song, Giulia Grisi, who died about seventeen years ago in Beilin, after having entranced and captivated a generation of patronixois of Italian opera, has just been dragged into a French assize trial in a rather remarkable manner. Her (juoudam husband. Auguste Gerard d<' Meloy. the same who had the fauioits duel with Ixird Castlereagh, nephew of the statesman of that name, has liecn tried and found guilty <M forgery at the Ardetmes Assizes. De Melcy is now a fine looking, gray-haired old man. Despite his 70 years, his lieurd is still as black as if he were only BA. He belongs to a good family, and married Grisi in 183 G, behig hardly 20 years old at that time. In IS4G bo obtained a separation decree, and Grisi was to allow him i'-ghi a year, hut never did so. He returned to his native place iu the Ardennes, where he had con siderable property left to him by bis fattier. Although not lavish in bis iiersonal expendi ture, De Meloy sjient a lot of money in im proving his estate, and in working some mills and iron foundries. In l>CiS, however, he failed, and in lstiO was proceeded against as a fraudulent bankrupt. His brother. M. Adolphe de Melcy, a land owner, there upon came to his rescue, jiaid hi* creditors in part, owl succeeded in staying proceed ings. Numerous lawsuit*, nevarthaleas, still con trnufed to crop up, and Augusto de Meloy, although he has been able to live in compar ative affluence for a considerable time, was reduoed almost to the verge of poverty iu 1668. He then went to live with his brother, and spent sixteen years with him. During this time the two were frequently employed in going over the bankrupt's aocouuta, and Auguste induced his brother to employ an aooouutant named Carre to assist them in their work. This was agreed to, and Carre spent four years in examining the bank rupt’s accounts with Messrs. Gudin, Cos telle & Cos., bankers, of Vouziers. In 1881! Adolphe de Melcy fell seriously ill, and Auguste, fearing that, he would be turned adrift by bin sister-in-law iu the event of her husband’s death, forged, in con junction with Carre, a promissory note on stamped paper, which set forth that he was his dying brother’s creditor to the amount of something like C 4.000. By the exercise of further sleight of hand the fletipoua debt was swollen to £lO.OOO, Adolphe de Melcy ‘lied iu ISBF, und his brother left the chateau and went to live with Carre at Cornay. Mine. Adolphe de Melcy supplied him with funds for some time, but'refused to continue liet assistance uulem he sent the ob noxious Carre away. It was then tiiat the forgers presented their bills, but no attention was paid to them by the trustees of M. Adolphe de Melcy's es tate- Those, however, after legal proceed ings had been threatened bv tue swin dlers, put Cite matter in the hands of the Paris Judges. la the meantime Auguste de Melcy aud W confederate carried their suit to the local tribunal, where the forgery wu> easily de tcctcl Tim tables Were aivoalingly tiuited <>n the conf 1 derates liefoio the hearing of their case, aiid tbej- were couniiitted for trial at file Assizes.
