A REFORM IN SALUTATIONS.
A Vienna correspondent telegraphsA movement is on foot in Austria and Hungary just now to do away with the form of sulutution customary among men, that {of taking off the hat. At Graz a committee has been formed which passed a resolution, aud called upon the civil and military governors, Baron Kaebeck and Count Wurmbrand, as also on tho Mayor of the city, begging them to sanction the resolution by accepting tho military salute from their inferiors. The three gentlemen gladly gave their consent. The wish has also been expressed that the dangerous custom of uncovering the head for a length of time at funerals should be done away with. It is pointed out that the military salute must lieo.exsarily imply at least as much respect as lifting the hat, since a common soldier thus salutes the higho-t commander in the army. In the middle ages the hat or cap was nit doft'ed.
