In a Gypsy Camp,


OF the younger fry there were as
many as half dozen. four Of them
girls, whose ages may have ranged
from | to H. and they were worse
clad even than the two women, nor
were the growing boys better covered.
As for the little children, whose skins,
poor little wretches, for lack Of wash.
Ing, were Of the coloro light mahog-
any several Of them were naked as
they were born. and there in the midst
of an atmosphere pungent with the
odor OF onions and misty with the steam
of the stew, they were all huddled hig-
gledy piggledy on the ground, some re-
cltning al full length, Others squatted
nose and knees together. discussing
their supper with an appetite only to
be obtained by a days toll in a hop
garden. me Of quo. usT ...r =.
The tent contained no single article
OF furniture in the or3iinary sense of the
term, An empty barrel, that appar-
emily had once contained -four. stood
in the center with a board across the
top of It, and Oh this stood shallow
brown pan, which contained what had
been cooked in the large kettle, and be-
side it were several loaves Of bread.
Two of the women presided. The
three men squatted cross-legged, with
a large zinc wash-bowl filled with the
savory mess on the ground in their
midst, and q four-pOund loaf, from
which, with their clasp-knives, they
hacked a chunk as they required it.
Plates and spoons there were nons.
they thrust their wedges Of bread into
the bowl, and SO extracted the broth,
and they helped themselves to meat
with their dirty fingers, tearing 1t
asunder with, their teeth when the
pieces were too large to put at once In
the mouth. Ina gallon stone bottle
they had beer. which for convenience
Of drinking was tilted into yellow pint
basin. tBstHJ ..m-. '7f "'Gat
Evenless ceremony was observed BY
the children in eating. The female In
charge of the bread cut d substantial
round from a loaf and tossed it to
the elder ones as they reclined on the
ground, and then the custodian Of the
stew fished out piece Of meat and
thrust it all hot and rocking at the end
of fork toward the eager hand held
out for 1t, and the meat was clapped
atop OF the bread, and SO, without the
aid Of a knife, the ration was devoured.
The smaller children we're served In
the same way, but less literally. When
the men bad their bowl replenished
and the women had enough, the pan
with the remains of the broth and some
bread broken up in it, was placed on
the ground, and squealing and greedi'
ly hustling each other like so many
other little pigs, the, gypsy infants
made short work of it.-London 7ele-

An Indian Folk Story.

A man wanted q wife, so he looked
shout for one to please him, but could
not find one among all the girls he
know. One day he met one called the
Besvsr. She had lovely teeth; this hs
noticed when she laughed; 20 he made
up his mind to marry her. He went to
her father and asked him for his dsugh-
ter, and was told to marry her II he Tx
ed, but that II he did he would have .
lot Of trouble; and the father refused to
part with her unless the sutton promis-
ed to make bridge across every stream
he came to for her to pass dry.footed.
This the sutton promised to do. He
married the girl and lived very comfort
ably with her for two years, when he
went, as usual, owl-hunting. leaving
his wife to make now camp. As
usual, he made bridges over al the
creeks he came to. At last he came to
q dry one, Over this he made no
bridge, but walked on for about mile,
where he hung up his bag to show
where he wished the camp 70 DO made.
he then went on and made his snares.
It rained while he was doing 90. and he
returned early, expecting to find the
camp. But when he came TO the place.
there was the bag but no camp. Going
back to look for his wife he came TO the
creek which had been dry In the morn.

what astonished him moro was thst o.

On Monday work was recommended on
the Washington monument at the nation
al capital. 1t is now $40 feet high. When
completed it will have height of 500 feet
of stone and 55 feet of glass, and will, it
is thought, exceed in height the highest
structure ever reared by the hand of man
The Strasburg Cathedral towers to the
height of 46s feet, and St. Peters al
Rome AS; the spire of the Cathedral Of
Cologne rises to 511 feet, and the highes
of the pyramids was but 479 feet high
when it was first built. Hence it appears
that when, as is expected, the Washington
monument is coAp!eted, in December
1855. its tepmost point will be some forty
four feet higher than any other artificial
elevation,

In this issue will he found several e1-
tracts from the Maryland press on state
politics. They are vigorous and strong
articles, particularly the one from the Hag
erstewn Ne,os, which gives in brief few
of the leading acts and characteristics of
Governor Hamilton. The Neus tells not
half. He has been ambitious for office
ever since he attained his majority, and
when not holding place he has sulked
and rendered the party no service. Mask
ing as reformer, he has done nothing but
stir up strife. Under the pretence of be-
ing for the people against bosses and rings,
he has attempted bossism and the estab-
lishment of ring of his favorites, with
himself as chief never before known in
Maryland. He has created an impression
that the State and its finances were going to
ruin. when no such calamity existed or ex-
lists. The necessity for new registration
law was one of his fancies, backed by a
Republican hue and cry. There was no
necessity for such law, and it was out one
of the masks he put on to divert attention
whilst be laid plans to break down trust
ed leaders. The party, he attempted to
create the belief, was disorganized and
badly managed, a fact that, remarks the
Port Tobacco Times, was disproved Ly the
unprecedented majority given the Govern
or in 1879. That majority was nearly 25,-
900, but within three years, by his un-
founded charges against his party, by his
acts and by his utterances, that majority
last fall was less than five thousand Since
his last coming upon the political field,
his party has nearly lost the Senate lost
heavily in the House, several counties
have been won from US by the Republicans,
and the judiciary has become partly Re-
publican. As the Hagerstown Neps just
=. ly remarks, there can be no harmony nor
success until Governor Hamilton is retired,
and he must be. To talk of his re-nomi-
nation, is to discuss an impossibility.
Nom but those entirely devoid of politi-
Cal sagacity or ayowed enemies of the
party, can for one moment consider such a
proposition,-W estminster Adgocate.

A confidential friend of the Presidents
said on Sunday that the President is anx-
ious to see harmony in the ranks of the
Maryland republicans, especially at this
time, and therefore will hesitate te do
anything in the Dirty matter which may
not be sanctioned by the majority of the
party. This gentleman says the President
had been informed that the struggle be-
txaea Mr.. Dirty and Mr.. Holton is pure
ly personal one, and he does not want to
take sides with either party. Whenever
it appears, he says, that Mr.. Ditty does
not perform the duties imposed upon him
he will be be removed just the same as
any inefficient official.
This look very much like Mr.. Hoiton is
going to be ''sat down upon.
