he despatched one of his ritinue to
Dr. Cartlett, to enquire respecting the
condition of Dickinson, and to say
that the surgeon attending himself
would be glad to contribute his aid tow
ard Mr.. Dickenson's relief. A polite
reply was returned that Mr.. Dicken-
sons case was past surgery. In the
course of the day General Jackson
sent bottle of wine to DIR. GARRETT
for the use of his patient.
But there was one qualification
which Jackson could not, even in such
circumstances, grant him. A very old
friend of General Jackson writes to me
thus Although the General was
wounded, he did not desire that it
should be known until he had left the
neigborhood and he had therefore
concealed it at first from his own
friends. His reason for this as he
once stated to me, was that as Dicken-
son considered himself the best shot
in the world, and was certain of kill
ing him the first fire, he did not want
Hit to have the qualification of know.

Perhaps the most natural course for
them on their way to Europe was
over the Persian deserts, along the
Persian Gulf to the mouth of the
Arabian Sea, and thence into Egypt
by the Isthmus of Suez.

they were spread into all the Euro

cause il seems to be Synonymous with
crime and vagrancy Their Indian
name is Zingaree, or Cincari. Along
the Ganges they are called Moth, or
Beania, the former signifying rogue,
the latter dancer or tnmbler.
Having escaped the sword in their
own country, they were obliged to
live by plumber in other lands. In
deed, in the 18th century, they be-
came dangerous and burdensome to
the nations which they visited. They
came by thousands over the Pyrenees
into Spain, swept along the shores of
its rivers, and plnndered the husband
men who were without defense.
Throughout Hungary. France land
England they were like so many To-
Gusts. Laws were enacted against
them. They were at length not only
resisted and brought somewhat under
legal regulations, but measures were
Carried to the extreme, and they were
prosecuted Every crime in the land

was charged upon the gipsies. They
were executed for the smallest Of

most flimsy and even false testim my,
until at length they were obliged to
live by cunning and plumber. With
in few years the English and Prus-
sian. Jaws have been more lenient, and
the result is that the gipsies are more
submissive and less troublesome In

A Difficult Question Answered.

"Can any reader of this paper tell

Not, he. He made the fire and hung
the kettle himself, we'll venture, and
pulled the radishes and peeled the ban

the chickens and looked after the pigs
himself. He never brought home a

But few short months have passed away,
Since first by chance we met
The few unheeded moments gone.

Sweet thoughts of thee within my heart
The secret chambers fill;
They meet and cast their shadows forth,
Yet all with joy instil.
They now may pass unheeded by,

Ny heart will ask the scenes again,
When time its change has wrought
But never will We come again,
Ye scenes of pure delight,
Ye're gone, ye day-dream visions loved,

Alas know too-welI the truth,
For then in vain I'll sigh,
And gaze upon the past fe-gems,
But with my manhood eye
When these dull chains that binds me here
By welcome death are riven,
Ny weary soul shall take its flight,
And find home in heaven"
But I've one hope aside from this,
That gives to death charm

That in a home bey ond the skies

An Englishman who could not speak
good German, was riding few weeks
ago on the railroad from Dresden to
Leipsic, when he asked, as well as he
could, how long it took to go through
the tunnel. The person he spoke to
thought he asked how long before the
tunnel would be reached, and so he
answered, !" In half an hour" When
they approached the place the Eng
lishman threw down his carpet bag
and pulled off his coat. In a few
minutes all were enveloped in the
darkness of the tunnel After some
ten minutes a streak of liz hit appear
ed, and the ladies, oppressed by the
heavy atmosphere, seemed impatient
to be again in pure air. Soon the
full light came, every one took long
breath, when suddenly the ladies gave
simultaneous shrek, and pulled their
wells over their faces, to hide from
them the disastrous condition of the
Englishman. The poor man thought
the passage through the tunnel would
be 80 minutes, and had been surpris-
ed by returning to light in the midst
of his toilet, which he had not been
able to make at Dresden, and for which
he thought he would take advantage
Of the supposed half hours darkness.

The Gipsies.

The strongest evidence of their
Hindoo origin is found in the great
resemblance their own language bears
to the Hindostanee. Grellman, dis
tinguished student of languages states
that twelve words out Of every tn rty
in their vocabulary are either pure
Hindnstanee or intimately related to
it.
This language they call gibberish,
and believe it to have been invented
by their forefathers for secret pur-
poses 1t is not peculiar to one, or a
few of their tribes, but common to all
in Europe and Asia.
Bishop Heber records in his journal
an account of an encampment of
wretched tents of mats, with baskets,
ponies, goats. &C., so like gipsies he
had seen in England. that, on asking
who they were, he was not surprised
to hear his guide give them that very
name
A well-known nobleman of Eng
land, who had resided many years in
India, taking shelter under tree dur
ing a storm, near a camp of gipsies,
was surprised to hear them use several
words which he well knew to be Hin
dostanee, and, going up to them, he
found them able to converse with him
in that language.
A returned missionary met gypsy
at the house of Father Crabb, the
gipsy's friend, in Southampton, Eng
land, and having conversed with her
in the language of Hindostan, de-
clared that her people must have once
known that language we'll
Lord Teignmouth, who knew the
Indian language well, once said to a
gypsy, "Tue barra tactur," that is
Thou art a thief" She Immediately
replied, mo, / am not a thief /
live by fortune-telling f" Wandering
tribes have been found in Nubia, who
have for centuries conversed in the
same dialect.
The name of this people has Undue
ed many to suppose that they had an
Egyptian origin but there is nothing
in their habits, or language, or remi-
niscences, that indicates such fact.
And yet they may have derived their
name from the fact of having passed
through Egypt into the European ma
tions.
It is believed by those who have
rhad the best opportunity to study the
matter, that in the earliest years of
the l4th century there was general
migration of the Sudars, a caste
among the Asiatic Indians, occasion
ed by the ravages of 1imur Beg, who,
having become Mahomedan. took up
arms for the purpose of making pro-
selytes to that faith These Sudars,
being of the lowest caste, and unable
to find sympathy or shelter among the
other castles, fled, and having escaped
the armies of Timur, found their way
into the neighboring countries. They
| were a degraded people, considered
as the lowest of the human race, and
with an army seeking their destruction
they had every motive to leave, and
