The GipSies i'm America,

The death of Matilda Stanley, queen of the
Gipsies, aud the assemblage of wandering
bands far and near at Day ton, Ohio, to cele-
brste her obsequies in their ancient fashion,
suggests some observations concerning the
present condition of that rem arkable race and
their very considerable emigration to this coun.
try during the past few years. The tremsnd-
Gus vitality of that strain of blood, which has
now been traced back by pathological researches
to its Hindostanee origin, and which COM
menced its era of perpetual pilgrimage and ex-
lie no less than five hundred years before
Christ, and has now completed its painful
orbit from the extreme East to the farthest
West, is not yet entirely outworn, although ID
is greatly dissipated. Specimens of the true
physlognomy marked with all the evidence OF
untainted b'ood, and bearing the imprint OF
centuries of grief aud isolation, as Matthew
Arnold wrote of the Gipsy girl seen at the Isle
of Man, can be found among the wandering
bands in all the countries of Europe, and will
possibly exist for some time to come, In cour-
tries like Spain or Bohemia. where the condl-
tious of life in their rudeneS5 and simplicity
are still suited to their habits and tastes, theie
is probably little change to be noted either in
the character or number Of the Gipsies, and
the influence of the surroundings in modifying
their natures will be very slow. As civilizas
tion presses upon them too hardly, the German

In the hut Of the Esquimaux we do not look
for the lace draperies of the Fifth avenue, nor

ridiculous in England to hold out against the

despite the captiousness of unpatriotic snarlers
who are doubtless bribed with foreign gold, it

against the laws of science as expounded by

APPARENTLY Russia wants to utilize the
employment of balloons in war. This was

Rouen unharmed in the evening, and thence
passed on to Tours, where he assumed the

German invaders. The Russian government
has commissioned Professor Mendeloff, of
st. Petersburg University, to study balloons
in Europe, especially in France, and his tour
is to last a year.

The Washington Post, which has been
run by non-union printers has just discharged
all the ''rats," as the non-union men are
called, and surrendered the Office into pos
session of the typographical union. This is
the result Of political movement on the
part of the union men, who had confer
ence with Blackburn, chairman of the DEM
ocratic campaign committee. The union
men protested against the employment of
''rats," for the printing of Democratic cam

defed the committee. As result the union

city to unite in circular to trades unions
throughout the Icountry, denouncing the

In 1857 Gen. Butler was trying to make
political capital out of the hard times just as
he is now, but his explanation of their cause
was very different then. In speech to
Democratic meeting in that year he attrib-
uted the financial crisis then existing to the
fact that the constitutional currency Of hard
money had been swept away and currency
of rags, shreds and patches substituted in its
place. His remedy then was the withdrawal
of paper and the substitution of specie.

THE Swiss are determined not to be driven
out of the market by the American watch
makers. They have suffered severely from
American competition. With their character
istic good sense they have studied the causes
of the superior quality of American watches
and their own inferiority. They have also
applied machinery to the making of watches,
after the American fashion. Latterly they
have invented peculiar process by which
the figures on the dial-plate are rendered lu-
minous so that, if exposed once during the day
to the sunlight, they remain phosphorescent
and visible throughout the night.

The Boot and Shoe Industry,

The returns of one of the patent,
ees who collect a royalty on every
boot or shoe manufactured by ma
chinery, show that the greatest
number of pairs ever turned out in
one month were manufactured In
September, 1878-four million one
hundred and ninety-one thousand
seven hundred and seventy~six pairs.
For the year, however, the manu-
facture up to October 1st, was only
twenty~three million one hundred
and ninety-seVen thousand pairs,
against twenty-five million two hun
dred and eighty-fve thousand for
the same time last year, or a reduc-
ton of about eight per cent. The
total shipments from the Boston
market up to date have been one
million two hundred and ninety-fve
thousand one hundred and forty-six
cases this year, against one million
four thousand nine hundred and
twenty-one cases for the same
period last year. This falling off is
due in some measure to the in
creased employment of shoemakers
to work by hand in the old>fash-
Toned way. There probably has
never been a time when days
work will go as far in buying boots
and shoes as to-day.
