A Breach of Etiquette --- At Astoria, on Sunday, Samuel
White had some misunderstanding with Mrs. Riorson and she called for the police,
whereupon Samuel did there and then willfully and maliciously bite her
nose. The next day he was arraigned
before Justice May and held to await the action of the grand jury in the sum of
$800. White had evidently not been
properly brought up. He should have
chewed the lady's ear, which would have passed for a bit of pleasantry, but to
bite her nose and thus spoil her good looks is a piece of cannibalistic
savagery which cannot be too strongly condemned. His conduct on this occasion is very un-[illegible].
[By "should have chewed the lady's ear" is the
author referring to the act of affection (sexual foreplay) or to the
act of talking to someone or both? Or neither?]
