A Gypsy Financier.

Our readers may remember the account we
gave some time ago Of gypsy learned in the
languages, who underwent the ordeal Of an
examination in this place, on the charge Of
Africanism. He has since, it seems, proved
himself an adept in the financiering line as
we'll as the linguistic. Jim Henderson, a
somewhat notorious darkey Of the neighbor-
hood, AYERS that he has practised well known
trick of the European gipsies upon his wife,
and, also, upon other colored individuals of his
acquaintance.
The thing was managed thus. The woman
was persuaded to hand over to the gypsy all
the money in her possession, amounting, &C.
cording to Jim's statement, to sixty-nine dol
lars. The gypsy, in her presence, put the
money into q bag, which he handed to her,
with charge that she was not to open it for
nine days, and, at the end of that time, she
would find the sum doubled. The injunction
was punctualy obeyed, and, at the appointed
time, Mrs. Henderson eagerly examined her
treasure, but alas the gypsy had somehow put
the wrong spell upon it, and substituted substrac-
ton for multiplication. The money had dis
appeared and nothing but some bits of worth
less lead were found in its place.
The secret OF the operation is no doubt 10 be
found in slight Of hand trick, by which the
bag contained the money was spirited away,
and another Of similar appearance, weight,
&C.. handed over to the woman. The gypsy
had his wife with him, and they were encamped
for some time in the immediate neighborhood
of Warrenton. They made good deal o.
money out of the negroes, it seems, by fortune
telling, and when they we're ready to depart
got up this 6nanciering job, as grand finale
a woman who calls herself Hughes, says they
relieved her OF about a hundred dollars. The
fellow Is apparently about thirty years Of age
has travelled much, and is well informed. H;'
wife is, probably, an English gypsy, with moth
ing remarkable in her appearance. IL may be
| well 10 be on the look out for them, for they
will no doubt attempt to "bag" some game
elsewhere, and "the fools are not all dead yet
Piedmont Whig.
