A. DROLL CHARACTER.
Olid Bob Morrison was a steady
and intelligent collier, with a taste
for literature of the thoughtful sort.
For nearly fifty years he had re-
mained in the same district, saving
aa much during the big wages
period as enabled hitn to build the
little cottage in which he latterly
lived, Atnong his younger fellow.
workmen he was soulewhattdisliked
On account Of his 'nt,tpy tongue
and caustis wit. But the older and
more thoughtful men esteemed hilrt
greatly, mournful experience hav-
ing taught them that his judgment
was generally to be reliedou. It
was to him they brought all their
disputes` for settlement, and his
decisions were received' with as
much respect as though he had been
one of the appointed judges of the
•land. But woe'betide those who
came to him with frivolous argu-
ments or senseles quartets. He set
their ears a -tingling.
Being himself a silent man, and
withal of a somewhat crusty temper,
he hated talkative people, especially
`thee bletherin' . bodies whit speak
for etieakiu's sake.' 'A sore' brain
and a lang tongue aro guid graith
for•makin' a noise wi',' he would
tell thern.
,One day he remonstrated with a
young man for talking so much.
'If I talk plenty, perhaps I may
happen to say something worth
through •tinge,' replied the youth,
glibly.
'Weel, maybe sae,' returned .Bob,
looking squarly into the young
man's face, 'Balaam's ase, after years
o' senseless brayiu', spoke sense
ance, ye ken ; but the like o't hasua
happened ince.'
One cununur evening •while Bob
'was. tilting a stroll along a quiet
country road, he heard n loud con-
fused noise as of then quarreling.
Proceeding a little way, he was
annoyed to liud two colliers of his
aCquaintrnce wrangling fiercely over
a, very paltry questiou. This put
him iu a very grim tnood. To think
that one of his favorite solitudes, as
well as oue of the most beautiful
scenes iu Ltutrlcsltire, should be
made a place fur gtiarreliug about
nothing! His brows contracted
with the intensity of his anger.
What say ye, Bob?' 'What say
ye Bobi' cried first one and then
the. other as he came up and stood
beside them.
•\Neel, what's the Larkin' aboot
atgrily inquired he.
- 'Oh, jist aboot---- ' and immedi-
ately the two men were at it tooth
and nail, each disputing the lairness
of the other's method of stating the
point at issue. For nearly a quar-
ter of.an hour Bob listened quietly,
but with increasing, wrath, till at.
length bath burst nut with
'\Vhat say ye neo, Bob?'
'I sae naothing,' returned Bob
with withering scorn. 'Ye twa hae
said mair than enough for the three
o' us.'
Curiously enough, this answer
was more effectual in setting the
dispute than any two hours' lecture
on the point at issue could have
been.
On another occasion. Bob came
upon two of 'his fellow -workmen
arguing about political matter's. So
fierce had the strife grown that each
of theta was shouting as loudly as if
he were trying to hail someone a
mile away. As Bob approached
• them he noticed that some cows in
an adjoining field, attracted by the
unusnal noise,,, were craning their
necks over the hedge to see what
was going on. \\ralking forward
unnoticed, ho laid his hands on the
shoulders of the two men, and said,
quietly :—
say, lads, We time to stop.
See, the very kye talc' yo for twa
strange bulls rowtin' !'
Not another word was needed.
Bothe walked silently away, each
convinced at least his own foolish-
ness, if not of the soundness of his
opponent's arguments.
Even religious disputes were
sometimes brought to Bob for decis-
ion, so high did his follows rate his
good sense and fairness. In such
cases, however, his judgments were
mostly 'of the Delphic oracle- sort,
which could bo taken either way,
and understood very well neither
way.
Two vary pertinacious and wordy
fellows, one a Calvinist the other a
Universallet, had a dispute which
threatened to last them a life -time,
At length they agreed to refer the
matter to Bob, who at once set
them to argue out the matter he•
ford him.
'Ah wool, then,' said the orthodox
man, summing up, 'if you Universal-
ists hae nae separate place .for evil-
doers, surely there'll be different
degrees in your heaven?'
'Certainly,' assented the Univsal-
ist, adding, `What dee ye say,
Bob?'
'Separate heavens, I wad say,'
returned Bob, dryly, to the astonish-
ment of both, 'for I'm sure there's
nae peaceable body wad care to
live iu the same parish its you Lust,
even iu heaven l'
VAGARIES' OF ETiQIJErrE.
In Sweden, if you address the
poorest perseu on the street you
Must lift your hat. The salve
courtesy is insisted upon if you
pass a lady ou the stairway. To
outer a' reading room or a bank
with one's hat ou is regarded as a
breach of manners. 1'o place your
hand on the arm of a lady, in Italy,
is a grave and objectionable famiti-
arity. "Never touch the person, it
is sacred," is one of their proverbs.
In Holland a lady is expected to
retire precipitately if she +should
eater a store or restaurant where
then aro congregated. She waits
until they have tr+4nsacted their
business and departed. Ladies
seldom rise in Spain to receive a.
Male visitor, and they rarely ,accom-
pany hint to the door. A. gentle-
man does not offer to shake a
Spanish lady's hand. For hint to
give a lady (even his wife) his arm
when out walking is looked upon
as a decided violation of propriety.
If a Spaniard says, when you retire
after a visit, "This house is entirely
at your disposal, whenever you inay
please to favor it," he wishes you
to know that he regards you as one
of the family—unu de nosotroa
(one of us) as they express it. If
the words are not spoken you •tau
conclude that you aro not welcome
to calf again.
In Persia, among the aristocracy,
a visitor sends notice au hour or
two before c.rlling, and gives a
day's notice, if the visit is oleo of
great importance. He is met by
servants before he reaches the
house, and other considerations are
shown him according to relative
rank. The left, and not the Might,
is considered the position of honor.
No Turk will enter a sitting
room wit dirty The upperier
classes -wear tight -fitting shoes, with
aoloshos over thein. Tho latter,
which receive all the dirt and dust,
aro left outside the door. The
Turk never washes in dirty Water.
Water is poured Over his hands, so
that when polluted it runs away.
In Syria the people never take' oll'
their caps or turbans when enter-
ing the house or visiting a friend,
but they always leave their shoes at
the door. There are no mats or
scrapers outside, and the floors
inside are covered with expensive
rugs, kept very clean in Moslem
louses, and used' to' kneel upon
while saying prayers. In China
grief is associated with a white
dress, in Ethiopia with brown, in
Talkey with violet, in Egypt with
yellow.
Etiquette require 'in Chinese
conversation that each should com-
pliment the other and dopreeiat.o
himself and all his belongings. It
is aflirtued that the following, is not
an exagg•*ration :—"What is your
honorable name?" "My insignifi-
cent appellation is Chang."
"Where is your magnificent palace?"
"My contetr.ptible hut is at Luellen."
"How many aro your illustrious
children 1" "My vile, worthless
brats are five." "clow is the health
of your distinguished spouse?"
"My mean, good-for-nothing old
woman is well." 'The salutation of
a people to some extent indicate
their national character. "May
God strengthen your morning,"
brings to the fore -ground the Arab's
faith ill destiny. The oriental
"May thy shadow never grow less,"
shows the honor placed in obesity.
The French "How do you carry
yonrself ?" indicates the regard for
forms. The German's habit of
generalizing is seen in "Hots goes
it ?" and the Englishman's practi-
cal mind in "How aro you I"
SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT 17 -
YEAR LOCUSTS.
Farmers from nearly every section
of the Western States are reporting
the appearance of the 17 -year
locusts in great numbers. More or
less superstition is attached to the
advent of the locusts, and many
put full confidence in the belief
that the fate of the country for the
next seventeen years is decided by
whatever letter appears ou the
locust's wing. In proof of this
they cite the fact that in 1855,
when they appeared in greatabun•
dance, the setter "W" could be
plainly seen on their wings, which
signified rear. As war followed in
a few years, the scperstititious idea
gained strength, and is very goner
ally believed in throughout the
country.
In 1872 the next regular period
for their appearance, it is claimed
the letter "P" could be as distinct-
ly seen on their wings as the "W"
of seventeen years before, Peace
and plenty followed their last
appearance, which aatisfies the
credulous that the locust •is a true
prophet. What letter will appear
on their wings this year has not yet
been discovered, but the country
folks are anxiously awaiting an
investigation of the matter.
