HOW THE GYPSIES HONORED
THEIR QUEEN.
London Truth, August %

Here is sample of gypsy honesty.
Early in tins century the queen Of tribe,
or heir-apparent to the soverelgnty-I for
get which--died. She was but child,
aged fourteen, and her name was Paradise
Buckler. The tribe were then camped ON
Bell Heath, in Worcestershire, and they
desired to bury her in the churchyard of
Belbroughton, in which parish she died.
Beng an unmarried girl, the deceased was
to be carried by nothing but white pocket
handkercheis and the coffin was to be COW
cred with the same. Every gypsy Of the
tribe also wanted white pocket-handker-
chief for his own use on the occasion. They
went round and Borrowed" these commC-
d ties, and the villagers and gentry gave
them up in much the same spirit as the
Egyptians did when the Israelites "bor-
rowedn Of them, not liking to incur the en-
nifty Of the tribe by refusal. But when the
ceremony was over each handkerchief was
duly restored to its owner, beautifully
washed and bleached. In one or two cases
where the borrowed articles had been
slightly injured they were replaced by
others of the finest cambria. To this day
some of the "oldest inhabitants" tell of the
spectacle of that funeral Of the gypsy child
queen and how the gypsies gathered by
hundreds from the country to attend the
ceremony; and most Of all, how astonished
the parishioners were at the honesty of the
gypsics on the occasion. Besides the scru-
pulous return of the borrowed hankerchiefs,
there were no complaints of thefis during
the inroad of the tribe for the ceremony
They seem to have felt themselves in the
light of guests and under obligations for the
loans made to them, and returned the COM
pliment by temporary regard for meum
and tuum. The gypsies erected handsome
square stone tomb over the remains of their
young queen, and they keep it in repair to
this day. notice that some correspond
ents in the Standard state that gypsies like
to obliterate the name and all traces of their
dead. They do not do so in the case of
Paradise Buckler. The inscription on her
tomb is clear to this day, though more than
half a century old. Gypsies, en- PEASANT, Of
ten visit it. 1t stands on the southeast side
OF the churchyard, and l have myself often
read the inscription on it.

COL. PERCY wYNDHAM.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The recent sad
fate of Col. Wyndham, better known as Sir
Percy Wyndham, recalls an episode in his
strange career that to many perhaps has re-
NAMED mystery. It will be remembered
that he served for while in the Union army
as colonel of New Jersey cavalry regiment,
and acting brigadier of cavalry brigade, to
which position he had been advanced for his
consummate knowledge of cavalry man.
oeuvres at the earnest solicitation of officers
in high rank. In 1868 Wyndham was
with the army in Virginia, in command of
about $500 men. He was held in high es-
TEEN, both for his bravery and his military
skill; was general favorite with his superb
ors, and expected soon to be advanced to the
rank of brigadier- general. Suddenly, to the
surprise of everybody, he was ordered to
Washington, and there granted an indefinite
leave of absence by Secretary Stanton. No
reasons were given for this. He remained
in Washington for some days, suffering from
the most terrible chagrin, which he endeav-
ored to alleviate by plunging into dissipa-
ton. At last he determined to visit his COM
mand, and was received cordially by his
brother officers; but after he had been in
camp two days, an order came from the sec
rotary OF war to the commanding general,
that Wyndham should at once leave the
Union lines. IF he did not do SO, he was to
be put under close arrest and sent to Wash
ington Immediately. Wyndham resigned on
his return to Washington.
Some time before his death by drowning
on the lakes few years ago, Mr.. Stanton's
private secretary informed an employe of
the war department, under promise of sol
emn secrecy during his life time, of the
cause of Wyndham's removal. Mr.. Stanton
had private information, given in such q
manner as to insure the concealment of the
names of the informers, that Wyndham had
entered into negotiation with the sconfed-
crate government to surrender his command
for the sum of 100000. Mr.. Stanton could
not, getting his information as he did, place
Col. Wyndham under arrest, and try him
for this highest crime of which soldier can
be guilty, SO the only road open was to re-
move him from command. The private sec

to work with great enthusiasm, ana the
outcome is thus related.
He re-appeared, after the lapse of an
hour or so, inky from head 70 foot, bear
ing foolscap sheet, on which was in
scribed in hieroglyphics somewhat re-

our Teutonic ancestors, the following
efusion:

of America.
Yours truly, WILLIE.
P.S.-It can lick any other country.
As he handed this to me, quite flushed
and tired out with his arduous labors, he
said, with soothing sympathy for me,
mingled with profound contempt for all
literary work:
