Probably the largest mass of rock
that has ever been transported, not ex-
cepting even the block in the Egyptian
Pyramids, was that from which was cut
the pedestal of the statue of Peter the
Great, in 81. Petersburg. 1t was a block
of granite weighing 5000, 600 pounds,
or about 1,5o0 tons, and was found iso-
lated on marshy ground, about four
miles from the Neya. Its shape was
that of an irregular prism, about "a feet
high, AZ feet long. and 80 feet broad in
its largest dimensions.

Who are the GYnsies2

Charles G. Leland in the April Century.
In conclusion, may briefly answer ques-
ton which many persons have put: "Who
and what are the gypsies? ?" To this, l reply
they are of a mixed Aryan and non-Aryan
stock from Northern India, where they have
been known since prehistoric lines. In their
own language they call themselves Rom,
meaning husband, but the word may also
have some affinity with ramna, meaning to
roam or wander. | believe that have been
the first to prove that there is at the present
day in India, among the $50 kinds of wander
ing castles in that country, which are all
gypsies, one in particular which is there re-
garded as specially gypsy, and which calls
itself Rom, and which uses words not COL
lected in any other Indian dialect, but which
are used by the gypsies Of Syria, Turkey and
Europe. This tribe is allied to, and is most
probably, only a more widely wandering
branch of the Rom, who are also known as
outcasts and gypsies. When l speak of so
many kinds of wanderers as gypsies, and yet
not identical with our own, may make any
meaning clear by saying that as all the tramps,
ped ilers, etc, who roam in our roads are still
not Romany, so of all the Indian nomads,
there is but one which in every particular,
especially that of language exactly cores
ponds to those whom have described.

A Baltimore Ghoul.

Thereisa female ghoul in Baltimore who has
been feeding on the sacred feelings of grief
caused by the death of loved ones. A couple
whose little daughter recently died of diph-
liberia received note signed 'Jeannette Mar,
cellige Jones'" inclosing some poetry and
saying: please accept as a tender memorial
from one who has suffered a similar loss and
knows how sweet it is to receive the sympathy
of Others Another note inclosed with this
stated that the cost of the poetry was ST..
Surprising that the poem had cost the kindly
writer some trouble they promptly RENTED
the amount, but shortly afterward learned that
the same plan had been used to victimize
various other grief-stricken families.

Texas a Prolific Country.

From the St. Louis GlObe-Democrat.
One region has been found at last in which
the peach crop mas not been destroyed by a
frost" 1t is Texas. "The trees have es-
capped harm, and big crop is predicted" is
the information from Denison. Fruit men
who make such confession deserve medal.
Their like has never appeared. Texas, by
the way, is prolific country. Peach trees in
full bloom, strawberries in abundance and the
first clip of wool already secured, are the
boasts OF different parts of the Lone Star
State. The St. Louis brewers, among others,
are glad to learn the news that summer is
coming. The warm weather in the South is
already stimulating their business.

entered upon between the confederated mono
poles and the people" All this is very high
sounding and will, no doubt, serve to catch
many man now, fguratively, on the fence
between the two great parties of the day. But
it does no more than equal another paragraph
in the circular from which the preceding ones
were taken, and which invites to member

All who favor the restriction of the power of
corporations, the holding of the public lands
for actual settlers, the suppression of gambling
in the necessities of life, and of combinations
which fix prices against the natural laws of
trade, the destruction of legal rights in vested
wrongs and the overthrow of all monopOlies
and of all systems and laws made in the inter
est of the few and against the many; all who
oppose the control of the currency by banks
of issue, and the taxation of all industry for
the benefit of favored enterprise under the
guise of protective tariff; all who favor the
election of the President, Vice-President and
United States Senators by direct vote of the
people-all who favor simple and just govern
ment as against that which is complex and
corrupt are invited to choose delegates to
represent them in the conference, the basis OF
representation being four delegates for the
District of Columbia, four for each territory,
and four for each Congressional district i'll the
United States.
Judging from the clause regarding the
tariff one would think that the Anti Monopo-
lists are intent upon the disintegration of the
Republican party and it may be that the
Greenbackers and Labor Leaguers who con-
ceived the plan of the new political faction
have let few Democrats creep into their
councils and take part in the drawing up of
their manifesto. Iii safe to predict that it
will be a long time before the Anti-Monopo-
lists will exercise much influence, not until it
has gone through as many changes as the
moon and gotten rid of several ofits lunacies.

Editor Moore, of Augusta, has received a

effects of marrying deceased wife's sister.
Editor Moore has written to the noble earl,
informing him that American journalists who
are still single-minded do not desire to be
fretted with such questions. We believe that
the Earl of Dalhousie would make money and
improve his mind by settling down in Georgia

FRIENDS of Secretary Lincoln are urging
his claims to nomination for the Presidency.
What they are based upon we are not in
formed, but the LIGHT suspects that it is his
fathers fame. If this be the case and, by
any kaleidoscope change in the attitude Of
party leaders, he should be nominated, he
may learn that the people are not anxious to
honor his fathers memory by entrusting the
greatests powers within their gift to His
Fathers Som Secretary Lincoln is an able
man but thus far he has done nothing to show
he has the ability to satisfactorily discharge
the duties of President. He himself recog-
nizes this and says the next campaign will be
too soon for his candidacy.

WHEN the Connecticut Legislature heard
of the ostentatious ceremonies attending the
burial of the murderer McGloin in New York
it promptly declared itself shocked and
passed law limiting the expenses for the
burial of any executed criminal to $40. The
Legislature had an erroneous idea regarding
funeral pageants. At best they are but fea-
lures of barbarism, and the fact that they are
most often seen in the case of criminals and
persons of the lower classes may be consid-
cred sign of improvement in taste. Every
body should be let bury his dead as he
pleases, so far as the degree of show is con-
cerned. Those who make ostentions display
will sooner or later be shamed by the quiet
burial of really worthy men.
