MISCELLANEOUS.
The Gipsies.-BY REV. L. e. ADAMS.


Our subject is 1.-The Gipsies." We
turn to it from no especial predisposi
ton, from no feelings early awakened
about this mysterious and wandering
people, much less from the cause which
they themselves assert for the early and
continued interest felt in them by Ror-
row, the chronicle of their Spanish
tribss namely, that his soul once ten
anted the body ola gypsy.
This is race of human beings but
little known among us. Indeed the i'm
preston is not rare one, that they are
~ kind of semi-human, semi-superna-
tural beings, that they are wizards and
witches--can fly over the sea, enter the
crack ef q door, and hover about NOR
tails unseen.
You ave probably aware that the sihgu
lar people of.whom we speak, are wan
dering. tribes, securing precarious
living, without the advantages Of fixed
laws and social organizations. They
were first known in Germany in 1909.
Nine years later they We're seen in
Switzerland, and twenty-four years
after in Italy, whence in the course of
five years they found their way into
France, Spain and Great Britain. At
the present day their numbers are few
in France. In England there are about
$4,000; in spain 6O,O00 in Hungary
100000 in Tarkey as many more,
Constantinople being thronged with
them. Great numbers are met with in
Russia. There are not less than 700
600 in the world. In whatever country
they are found, they preserve their pc
culiar habits and language, and are dis
tinct from al other people in their feat
ures and personal manners. In Tur-
key they are distinguishable by their
dark eyes, 'brows, complexion, and
black hair, and by averse on to labor,
and propensity to petty thefts. And
these are their charteristics in all lands.
There are great numbers of gipsies in
Persia. Many speculations have been
INDUCED with regard to their origin.
1t has been aprevalent notion that they
were of Egyptian = their name
being considered as indicating the
same. But those who suppose them to
be of Hindostanee or Sudar extraction
have much the best proof on their side.
A real gipsy has an eye, counten-
ance, mouth, hand, ankle, and quick
ness of manners strongly indicative of
Hindoo origin.
The testimony of the most intelligent
travellers, many of whom have long
resided in India, fully confirms this
opinion. And indeed persons who have
not visited the Asiatic continent, but
have seen natives of Hindostan, have
noticed the marked similarity of man
ners and features existing between them
and the gipsies.

'tinkering, music, and fortune telling

Quit That. Z.

Quit What Quit telling your
innocent, confding, trembling children
about ghosts and hobgoblins. You are
throwing q sorrow upon their hearts
that will cling there through life. How
many mothers there are who quiet their
children by saying the bug a-boos will
come and take you of'-'Come old
nigger, come and--well, will you hush
this minute.
The poor child believes all its own
mother says, and why shouldn'tit! 1t
ought to believe. That is its filial duty.
The sobbng, futtering heart is quiet
ed, but not composed. Those fearful
eyes close in sleep of terror; a weary
broken rest follows; the child dreams
but oh who can tell the sadness of
child while it dreams in a sleep fright
med in it by alarms of all that is ter
ribie and repulsive
Such in human treatment endangers
the mind, the intellect. Mothers, be-
ware And see that no nurse or ser
want, or older brother or sister, drive
arrows of grief to the very soul of your
child. A sorrow carly planted and
watered by tears will bring forth a har
vest of bitterness and of despair.
How common a habit is this to teach
children to fear unseen dangers at
nightfall! The peaceful night-so full
of sweetness, and the night that brings
the honoyed drops Of dew to bless the
flowers and refresh the leaves, the
night that brings rcstto the weary, this
dearest time of ALL is to be made ter
rible to children. What wickedncss
I Why it is blasphemy to make the lit
tie ones believe that God forgets them,
and sends tormenters to trouble them in
the silent watches of the night.
Parent, think of this See that your
children have no ghostIy lessons.
See they are taught to love the ever
present Savior, and to honor his blessed
name Southern Homestcad.
- Two men, strangers to each
other, met one day, and spoke to each

A L'ar.-Among many anecdotes
of Buena Vista, one beats all others.
An Arkansas soldier wounded, asked an
Irishman to help him off the field.
The latter did so by enabling him to
mount and strapping him to his horse,
riding himself before. During the
ride the poor Arkansian had his head
shot off unknown to his companion.
Arriving at the doctors quarters, the
Irishman was asked what he wanted.
Il brought this man to have his leg
dressed Why replied the doctor
his head is off = The bloody liar y

The IllauguraI.

Abraham Lincoln is now President of
the United States His inaugural ad-
dress will be found in the Telegraphic col
umns. He talks in the Jacksonian style.
His platform is " the Constitution, the
Union, and the Enforcement of the Laws"
He will live up to this platform, and, thank
Cod we shall once more have a Govern
ment Order, obedience to law, and loyalty,
will take the place of disunion, lawlessness,
and treason.
Mr. Lincoln's duty is very plain and
simple. With the Constitution and the
laws made in pursuance thereof before him,
he, as the Executive, sworn to maintain the
Constitution and execute the Laws, will
observe his solemn oath to the letter. All
persons, in whatever part of the country
they may live, if they violate the Fedora
laws, will do so at their peril
The American people-all who deserve
the name-win uphold Mr.. Lincoln in hi
manly and patriotic course. All Unior
men will stand at his back. Secession ant
treason will be crushed out, political chao;
will resolve itself into order, confidence will
supersede dstrust, and our Union, instead
of remaining kissing and q bye-wort
amongst the nations, will emerge from thu
clouds which enYelop her, resplendent will
her ancient glory, and puissant in renewed

We are requested by the Surveyor of this
port to state, for the benefit of importers Of
foreign merchandise, that the action of the
Collecting officers of the State of Louisiana,
in undertaking to collect duties on imports
and receive or cancel transportation bonds,
will not be recognized by him. Importers
will not be released from their liabilities to
the United States, either by paying the du-
ties demanded by the State Collector at New
Orleans or by his cancellation of bonds
All dutiabIe goods arriving at this port from
New Orleans will be taken into custody by
the Surveyor here and held for payment Of
duties. The proper course for importers to
pursue is to give transportation bonds to the
collecting officer at New Orleans, to which
bond it is understood security resident in
Louisiana is required, and deliver
the goods when they arrive here to the
surveyor to be warehoused, or pay the du-
ties on arrival of the goods at this port. The
payment Of duties in New Orleans subjects
the importer to a double payment.

Mr.. LINCOLN NOT DISGUISED The
Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Herald writes:
am able to say, authoritatively, that it
is not true that Mr.. Lincoln came from
Harrisburg to this city in disguise. On the
contrary, he came in his usual citizen
dress, unaccompanied by any one except
Col. Lamon, who is one of his suite.

TIE WEATHER within the past three days
has been guilty of strange freaks, and in
discretions. On Saturday it was fair and
mild. Windows were generally left open,
and the indications were that Spring had
come. Saturday night there was a rain
and wind storm. Sunday was a gloomy
day. Monday was rather chilly and on Mon
day night it was necessary to relight the
expiring fires and again don thick out
side clothing

ATTEMPTS ON THE LIFE OF Mr.. LINCOLN
An account OF the timely discovery of
an obstruction placed on an Indiana rail-
road, with the evident design Of throwing
off the special train which conveyed Mr..
Lncoln's party has been noticed by us. The
Syracuse Journal OF the 10th ultimo has
another development of a similar character.
It says:
We have been informed by a gentleman
connected with the party OF Mr.. Lincoln
since he left home for Washington, that
there were several attempts to take his life
made during his journey through Indiana
and Ohio. The one which threatened the
most serious consequences took place on
the Presidential train leaving Cincinnati
when a grenade of the most destructive
character was discovered in the car occu-
pied by Mr.. Lincoln, his family and per-
sonal friends Tt was found in q small car
pet bag, which had been deposited in q seat
of the car by some unknown person. At
tention was drawn to it from the fact that
no baggage was allowed in the cars. On ex-
animation, the grenade in the carpet bag
was discovered to be iguited, and 50 arrang-
ed that within fifteen minutes itWOuld have
exploded with a force sufficient to have de-
moIished the car and destroyed the lives of
all persons in it. OF course the Internal
machine was speedily removed and prop
erly disposed Of

BE- The labor necessary to get the In
augural into proper shape for our readers
prevented the insertion of much of variety
of matter. This deficiency will be over
balanced, we think, by the important char
acter and absorbing interest of the Inaugu-
raj of the President elect. Our report is in
complete something happened to the line
before the report was finished that stopped
its working. We regret to say that we did
not get the names of the Cabinet, and that
we received only a portion OF the account
of the Inauguration ceremony. The Adj
dress is full and nearly correct about as
correct as such documents generally are
when transmitted by telegraph.
