Gipsy Maiden.

Gipsy Maiden.
The Union Bridge Md. Inde1 describes
the burial of gypsy girl in a grove of
stately pines near townsville on Friday of
last week. The corpse was carried to the
spot selected by the male members of the
tribe, and the women followed, clad in

hand-in-hand, began circling about the
corpse, after the fashion of children play
ing ''ring around roses" at the same mo-
ment both men and women began chant
ing a sad restrain, which filled the sur
rounding woods with flying echoes.
After continuing the chant for awhile,
the corpse was covered over with shawls
and surrounded by the women, while the
men went diligently to work digging the
grave. In the meantime the females
bowed their heads sOrrowfully, and
swayed back and forth. The body was
afterwards carefully deposited at the
bottom of the roughly scOOped out grave,
on board cushioned with leaves. After
each of the women had thrown some use
full article into the aperture-principally
thimbles and other small trinkets-the
men began filling up the hole, and the
women and children trooped back to the
wagons apparently as happy as children
at their nOontide recess.

The opponents of the bill claim that the
extra issue of 92,50O,0 authorized
over and above the amount to be devoted
to the conversion, is "a grand steaI,'' and
that Mexico will be unable to meet the
interest. Crowds gathered in the streets
last night shouting ''death to Gonzalez
the outgoing President. Although the
crowds We're unarmed, they were need
lessly fired upon by soldiers, and few
persons were killed or wounded. A crowd
IN front of the house of Gen. Diaz, the in-
coming President, called for him to ap-
pear and state his position, but he made
no response.

Emery 4. StOrrs Thinks He Knows the
Man who Beat Blaine.
Emery A. Storrs, of Chicago, one of the
leading lawyers and politicians of the
West, has an interview published in the
New York Tribune on the Republican
campaign, Of which the following is an
extract:
"WOuld any other candidate than Mr..
Blaine, in your judgment, have been more
likely to achieve success than hep"
SIN my Judgment" replied Mr.. StOrrs,
ssit is clear that If we could not win with
Mr.. Blaine we could win with no one.
NV original preferences were for Gen.
Arthur, but any one who observed the
course of the campaign and any RepublI-
can who at all realizes the situation must
know that it was indispensable that we
should carry Ohio at the October election.
Had we failed in that the campaign would
have closed there and then. never so
thoroughly recognized the wisdom of the
majority as during the campaign in Ohio,
when saw the tremendous enthusiasm
which Mr.. Blaine's presence excited.
Every conceivable agency and accident
were against u.s.
'sHOw do you account for the loss cfthe
State of New YOrkP'
''The defeat of the Republican ticket is
on all hands conceded to be attributable
directly to this most unfortunate express
sion OF an aged clergyman, who did not
probably comprehend the effect of the
language which he employed. The sue
cess of the Democratic party Is not due to
the Independents. 1t is not due to the
Prohibitionists. 1t is not due to the
COnkIing followers. 1t is due to DIR.
Burchard. l think that no one denies
that the loss of New Jersey and Connecti-
cut is attributable to the same cause"

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The West Shore
road to-day reduced its rate to Chicago to
SO. The rate by the Lackawanna Rail-
road is $40 80, and under no circumstances

FRIGHTENING THE NEGROES.
Fred. Douglass Piles Them with the Re-
enslaVement Scare.

Il ESu OOuEIaBH GlleB In6m with the Re
enslavement Scare.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Many of the
more fair-minded and intelligent colOred
men of this city are surprised that Fred
Douglass should aggravate the fears
which are agitating some of the deluded
negroes of the South, owing to the cleo
tiOn of a Democratic President. In an
interview, printed here to-day, Douglass
declares that ''where the cOlOred people
of the South have hitherto expected
threats and curses, they may now expect
to receive blows" He further declares
that Cleveland's election will chill the
hopes of the cOlored people Of the South
concerning their education. They may
very properly apprehend that violence and
intimidation will now become chronic un-
der Democratic rule, at least during
the next four years. This sort of
stun, coming from so prominent
a man as Fred. Douglass, will do much
harm by exciting the fears of the ignorant
and prOlOnging the DESCRIPTION which has
for many years been practiced upon them
by INSCRIPTIONS politicians. EX-Con-
gresham Rainey, cOlored, of South Caro-
lima, puts before Douglass a good example
when he says: "Were l in position to
speak to the 100000 of negroes in the
United States would say to them, possess
your souls in peace, your liberties are not
in danger" Chase, editor of the Bee, a
paper published here in the interest Of the
c0lOred people, says: 81 am very hopeful
that the change will inure to the benefit
of my race IN the South. The presence
of an Office-holding class of white men In
the South, whose chief endeavor has
seemed to be to stir up strife and set the
blacks and whites by the ears, will be
done away with, thus removing a great
cauSe of race feelinp.V

Needs of British Farmers.

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-A conference of
landowners and farmers was held in Lon
don to-day, having been called by the
Farmers Alliance. A series of resOlu-
tions were adopted, the most important of
which was to the following effect: That a
substantial reduction of rent was essen
tial to meet the present agricultural
depression and enable tenants
properly to cultivate their
land; that it was necessary to encourage
enterprise by giving complete security for
money expended by tenants on improve
ments, and by abOlishing distress; that
courts of arbitration should be estab-
lished in all counties to settle disputes
between landlords and tenants. Messrs
Fowler, Barclay and Borlase, members of
Parliament, took part in the conference.
