GYPSY KING.
Phil AIlin Their Ruler I'm EN-
bryO.

A band Of gypsies are now in our
city destined to their farms, near Day
ton, Ohio. They have been wintering
back Of Helena, fortune telling and
trading stock with the inhabitants
whereabouts and as far toward the in.
terror as Brinkley and beyond. 1t has
been the custom of the party to pass
their winters south for a series of
years, and the valley of the Mississippi
has been a favorite locality with them.
The present ruler is King Stanley.
a swarthy, robust and we'll shaped
man of perhaps thirty years or more,
a son Of the famous Queen Stanley,
who died below the mouth of Arkan-
saw river a couple of years since, and
whose remains were conveyed to Day
ton, Ohio, for interment. The la
mented queen was much yenerated by
her people, and the gypsies attended
her funeral in great numbers, all col
ONES of gypsies in the land being rep
resented.
Among the party now here is a
youth Of seven years named Phil
Allin Stanley, a brother of the pres
ent ruler and a son of the great queen.
Phil is a sprightly lad, as cunning as a
fox, as cute and smart as children
usuallyare and ofgreat future promise.
He was born on board of the steamer
Phil Allin, and named by Captain
Stack Lee in honor OF the late Major
Phil Allin, so widely respected aud
exceedingly popular in all circles
wherever known, the pet Of the army,
the bravest, the most chivalrous and
best liked soldier of the entire list of
s%outhrons representing this section.
Little Phil knew his godfather on
sight, and was fed on candy, fruit and
other children's diet all the passage.
He expects to grow up fat, hearty and
every inch a king.
The troupe, some thirty or more in
number, together with their eight
wagons, several dozen animals and
other equipments, will take passage by
the Virgie Lee for the Ohio to-mor-
row.

A Nj issia- Mali I:;,y.

Some excitement was created at Cor
donville yesterday morning when it was
asccrtained that the mail bag made up in
this city and thrown off at that point. wa;
missing. The mali train does not stop at
GordOnville, but dashes through the town
at !. very high rate of speed. The practice
has been for the mail agent to kick I'll o
bag for GOrClonyille through the open
door of tho car as the train
passes, at tho same time that he
catches up the bag from Gordonvillc
on the well-knOwn apparatus attached to
all mail cars. Yesterday morning tho ba2
from Gordonville was caught up as usual
and taken into the car but the bag for
GordOnvillc could nowhere be found.
Search was made for it all around the Sta.
tiCn and for Il considerable distance down
the road, and the postmaster then went
down to Leaman Place thinking it might
have been by mistake thrown off ut that
pOint-but it wasn't. He then telc-
graphed to Coatesville, the information
that the bag was missing. The mail
agent was sure he had kicked it off at
GOrdOnville, but nevertheless the mail car
was carefully examined without finding the
missing mail. BY chance some one looked
under the tran, and there the bag was
safely slowed away on top Of ono Of the
trucks. In kicking the bag off while the
train was moving rapidly, the strong cur
rent Of air had caught the bag and blown it
upon the truck, where it was safely carried
to COatesville.
