TOe Arabian often says, “God grant thee
his favors'" also, “Thank God! bow are
vo/r And the Turk, “My prayers are for
thee” or “Forget me not in thy prayers.”
tn Poland a visitor to a house will cry out,
“The Lord be praised!” to which the hostess
vJli answer “World without end. Amen!”
Thi “sweet eiri graduates” of conventual
Ihools iu this country involuntarily
-a knock at their doors by the word
jours instead of “come in,” through the
habit formed when the sister at the convent
dormitory door used a formula in praise of
the v'irgm Mary, to wh.ch the obligatory
was “forever!” Very lately a
similar custom prevailed throughout Spain
1 y which the visitor ejaculated Maria
nurmima! the reply being sin pec ado con-
Lhida' On other occasions the Spaniards
sav Vaya con Dios! “Go with Goal” In
the Tv ol people exchange the formula,
“Fraised be Jesus Christ 1” and the Neapoli
tans that of “Increase in holiness!”
2. The forms of greeting that pra r for
the health aud well being of the friend
addressed are distributed generally. Indeed,
our term “salutation” is derived from the
Latin saius, and similar etymologies are
found in other languages, Toe Ottoman
cries, “Be under the guard of God 1” In
Arabia on the first meeting of the day, the
proper phrase is, “May God strengthen your
morning:'’ or “May your morning be
good!” The Persian begins his polite ad
dress with “1 make prayers for thy great
ness.” The return to a salutation in the
Orient is sometimes not only religious but
noo-committaL Jlf an Arab is directly
asked about his health, he responds, “Praise
be to God!" leaving his condition to be in
ferred from the modulation of his voice. If
the f *rm cf the query is “Is it well with
thee!" the answer is “God bless and pre
serve thee!” The Zuni exchange the prayer,
“Jlay the light of the gods rest with
tbee!”
Neither the English “good-by” nor the
French adieu need be explained, but an
example within the writer’s observation may
be offered to show how meaningless words
of ceremony originally significant may be
come, and how easily they may be adopted.
The Jlicmaes two centuries ago picked up
cni'mg a few French expressions that of
adieu as the proper word in friendly part
ing, and now commonly use it with the idea
thar ;t beings to tbeirowu language. When
questioned as to when they got it from the
French, one of the chiefs haughtily ex
claimed: “We did not get it from the
French; they got it from us!” It may be
noted that the French have in att revoir an
alternative and less religious form used in
parting, and other nations have similar ex
pressions. The Cingalese bluntly sav; “I
will go and come.”
3. The general wish for health and pros
perity, of which the English "farewell,” as
distinguished from "good-by,” is an
examp.e, is often only implied in the query
showing interest as to the present possession
of those blessings. The Arab reiterate* the
query, "How are you ?’ for some minutes,
and, when well brought up, afterwards
interrupts the subject of conversation by
again interjecting "How are you ?” many
times. Our "How d’you dot” has almost lost
sigmhcance, as it is seldom noticed, exoept
b> reciprocation, no one supposing it to
be a bona fide request for information.

Japanese, where the party visited asserts
the prosperity of the visitor. The host and
hostess politely ejaculate. “Chayo gozaris
masu! —You have come quickly!”—which
weic me is given even if the visitor has
suffered deiav and all kinds of misbaps. It
is never oontradic ed. Per hays our ex
pression, “You have been long in coming,”
as indicating longi g, is no more artificial.
An interes ing point in this regard is the
objection if some peoples to being praised
for flourishing health, which is never ad
mitted. For instance, to the Cingalese the
expression, “you look well,” or “you have
become stout,” is very annoying, the reev >n
being that the notice of malign deities
would be attracted to their fortunate condi
tion, upon which it would be destroyed.
This illustrates the old stury of the jeaious
g ds, and the power of evil being the most
important deity, and recalls many classic
fables in several lands and languages,
among others that of the ring of Polycrates.
That this dread survives among sime of
the peasantry of Europe appears in their
invariable refusal to resp mil that they are
perfectly well, and a similar superstition
has recently been repo ted from the moun
tains of North Carolina. The Ciiiuese in
greeting not only depreciate their own
status, but exaggerate that of the party of
the other part. The established ritual
averages thus; “How is the excellent
healto enjoyed by your wealthy ani ac oin
plished highness, and that of the brilliant
lull moon, his spouse and of the strong
lions, his sons and graceful gazelles, his
daugters?”
Persons of general intelligence in the
most civilized nations yet show relics of the
dread of daimon’s when an epidemic pre
vails. It was lately noticeable here that the
response about freedom from the grip con
tained some qualification —“haven’t got it
yet,” or tha like.
The wish of salute is often specific, con
nected with the circumstances of environ
ment The people of Cairo anxiously ask:
“How do you perspire}” a dry skin being
the symptom of the dr. aded fever. In hot
Persia the friendly wish is expressed: “May
God cool your age!”—that is, give you com
fort in declining years. In the same land
originates the quaint form: “May your
shadow never be leai!” which does not ap
ply, as often now used in Europe, to the size
and plumpness of the body as indicating ro
bust health, but to deprecate exposure to the
no n sun, when all shadows are least.
The Genoese, in their time of prosperity,
used the form “health and gain 1” In some
of the Polynesian isles lhe prayer for cool
ness is carried into action, it being the
highest politeness to fling a jar of water
over a friend’s head. According to Hum
boldt the morning salute on the Orinoco is,
"How have the mosquitoes used you?” The
old religious views of the Persians are
found in their wishes: “Live forever!” and
(still retained in Spain, probably a direct
legacy from the Moors), “May you live a
thousand years 1” They believed only in
this life, and that through divine favor it
might be unlimited.
Some quaint theories have been presented
with regard to the special phraseology of
verbal salutation among several nations. It
is con ended that the Romans expressed
their main interest concerning the vigor
constituting the basis of a warlike nation by
Quomodo valest literally “How is your
strength?” The French Comment vous
porlez vousf is supposed to be appropriate
to a peopio attaching great value to agility
and the manner iu which the body is sup
ported on its legs for immediate motion.
Ihe Italian Come sta ellat my have re
ference to the posing dignity of the nation,
while the German IVte befinden sie sich ?
suggests the analytical and self-inspecting
character of the Teutons. In the English
“How do you do?” Krummacher, laying
great emphasis on the word “do,” as
denoting action, distinguishes the energy of
the people.
4. The terms of affection in greeting are
too numerous to be now recited. The fol
lowing are mentioned as unhackneyed and
and of interest. Some Orientals say:
“Thou hast made me desolate by thine ab
sence from me,” and the ordinary form of
greeting among the Zulus is simply “I see
you, and lam glad.”
The variant phrases of respect are also
multitudinous. Perhaps the most distinot
form in which the common and ancient ex
pression of the east. “I am your slave,”
survives in Western Europe, is in the Pied
mont district of Italy. The Spaniards,
through the influence of Moors and Jews,
have many relics of orientalism. Its fea
tures beoome colloquial in the form Vsted
contracted from Vuestra merced, your
mercy, your grace, often appearing in the
phrase “I kiss my hands to your grace” and
“I kiss your grace’s bands.”

Lightning Not Always from the Clouds
From the Rochester Democrat.
During the progress of the electrical
storms of July 8 in this state, it was noted
in several places that e ectrical discharges
pas 'ed from the earth to the clouds as well
as from the olouds to the earth. The Post-
Express described this phenomenon as ob
served at Iroudequoit Bay. A gentlemen
who recently returned from the Adiron
dacks observed the same electrical action.
Discharges passed from the hills across Star
Lake to the clouds and from the clouds to
the lulls. Similar observations were made
in this city in 1885 or 1886. Preceding and
during the volca ic e uptions in New Zea
land, June 11, 1886, electric fire balls or me
teors were observed to pass from the earth.
These electri al discharges were from re
gions considerably removed from the vol
canic craters.
It nas been urged that the eye cannot de
tect the direction of a lightning flash, and
that the passage of a discharge from the
earth to the skv is only apparent, an opti
cal illusion. This objection is employed
mainly to support a the >ry that the passive
is always from the sky to the earth. If the
reasoning of the objection be correct, what
is there to support the theory that the pass
age is always from the sky to the earth. The
statement that discharges are invariably
from the sky to the eartn is based on obser
vation, and has no other basis. An object
on the earth may lie shattered by a bolt
pas'ing from the earth to the sky ns well as
by passage from sky to earth. The shatter
ing force is shown when the fluid passes
from one medium to another. The testi
mony of sight must be accepted in case of
apparent passage of the bolt from earth to
sky if it is accepted in the passage from Bky
to earth.
And So They Were Married.
From the Dallas News.
A bright sun and a pleasant afternoon
seemed to halo the happy occasion, and in
its refulgence to foreoast the happiness of a
union of two young hearts that had been
devoted from youth and young girlhood
through the years to the full maturity of
young manhood and womanhood, and at
last so auspiciously brought together under
ihe holy sanction of God’s ordinance to beat
as one.
On the very threshold of their lives they
start together along the journey of exist
ence hand in hand, heart to heart, full of
that hope and that joy which aureoles the
vistas that stretch out before i hetn ai.d giv. s
promise of so much of that brightness that
pleases and gives zest to life.
After the ceremony which made them one
a wedding dinner awaited them, and m that
feast of good things t ey road an earnest, it
is hoped, of the largess fate with kin ily
hand has in store for them through all their
years to come, ami witu the blessings of
those they love and who love them. It is the
sincere hope of all their many fi ieuds that
no shadow may ever fall udou their lives,
and only fragrant flowers bloom along their
pathway.

will turn their toes ud rapidly. Then mix an
other email box of ROUGH Oft RATS thorough

LARGS ENTERPRISES
For Large Dividends.
The largest dividends ever paid to the
patrons of any establishment was paid by
B. H. Levy & Bro., one of the largest cloth
ing firms in Savannah, in the way of giving
each and every one of their numerous
patrons a chance on summer goods at half
price, and nearly every one made good use
of the opportunity.
Never before were there such liberal offers
made and carried out, and that it was ap
preciated by the public was shown by the
large patronage that the house had during
tbe sales.
Look out for their next week’s pro
gramme, which will appear in the looal
columns of this paper, of another racket,
such as was never had here before, and
every one that will take notice thereof will
secure a good bargain or another dividend
on the money they have spent with them
during the year. They are determined to
close out everything in the way of Summer
Goods, and are prepared to meet the loss
cheerfully.
Their quarters not being quite large enough
for their growing business, they must sell
out clean in order to make room for one of
the Finest Stocks of Winter Goods that
ever came to Savannah. Again we say,
look out for their advertisement during
this week, and call and secure burgains.

The New Commander-in-Chlef of the
Grand Army.
Wheelock G. Veazey, the new comman
der of the G. A. R., elected to succeed Gea.
Alger, was bora in Rocki gbam county,
New Hampshire, and there passed the early
portion of his life. He was eduoated at
Phillips’ Exeter Academy and Dartmouth
Colie *e, graduating from the latter institu
tion i 1 1869. He studied law at the Albany
Law School, and was admitted to the bar in
Vermont, and at the breaking out of the
war was practicing in Windsor c untv. He
eniisted as a private in, the Third Vermont
regiuisut at the outbreak of the war be
tween the states, and iu the summer of 1861
was made captain of Company A, and pro
moted to be made major and lieutenant
colonel. At first the regiment was com
ma ded by Col. W. F. Smith, since popu
larly k .own as Gen. “Baldy” Smith. It was
engaged in the first battle In MeClella ’s
peninsular campaign, in 1862, at Lee’s
mills, aud subsequently took part in
all the battles of that campaign. For a part
of the time Col. Veazsy was chief of
staff to Gen. Smith, who commanded a
division iu the campaign. He was dis
charged for promotion to the colonelcy of
the Sixteenth Vermont regiment in Octo
ber, 1862, and was colonel of that r girnent •
throughout its term of service, and was in
command of it at the battle of Gettysburg.
It was one of the regiments of Stauuard’s
Vermont brigade in that battle, and made
the famous flank attack upon Pickett’s
division aid then upon Wilcox’s divis.on,
thus cmtributmg materially to the repulse
of Longitreet’s corps on the afternoon of the
third day of the battle. He was assigned by
special detail to command other regiments
and brigades at different times during his
military service.
Since then he has been a member of the
commission to erect monuments to Vermont
valor at Gettysburg, and is also a direc or
in the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial
A sso station.
\V i-en the war ended he settled at Rut
isnd.Vt., and there pursued his law practice
until lie was choseu to the supreme judicial
court of the state. In 1864 he received the
appointment of reporter of the decisi 11s of
the supreme oourt of Vermont, and held
that office for eight years, publishing nine
volumes. He was state senator in 1872-73,
aud in 1873 was made register of bank
ruptcy, aud continued to hold that office
until toe bankrupt law was repeale i. From
1879 to 1889 he was judge of the supreme
court of Vermont, and in 1880 was a com
missioner for revising the laws of Vermont.
Iu 1889 he was appointed interstate commis
sioner, which office he now holds. He was
a delegate at large from Vermont to the
national republican convention of 1876.
He is an eloquent orator and has delivered
many addresses on public occasions of all
kinds. He has t een a trustee of Dartmouth
college since 1878, and of other educational
institutions. He received the degree of LL.
D. from Dartmouth in 1887. He was com
mander of Robert Post, Rutland, Vt., when
that post was first organized in 1867, and
was one of the earliest department com
manders of Vermont, holding the office
three years. He was judge advocate
general during the time Judge Rea was
commander-in-chief in 1887. He has been
a very frequent attendant of the national
encampment throughout the whole history
of the Grand Army, and two years ago and
last year he was prominently mentioned
for the office of commander-in-chief. He
is a thori ugh Grand Army man, and has
always taken the keenest interest in the
growth and prosperity of the order.
