Eloping With a Gypsy Princess.

From the New Haven Conn., Palladium
Great excitement exists in the gypsy
camp near Yalesville, just north OF
Wallingford, in consequence Ct the
elopenlent of the l6-year-old daughter
of Prince" Williams with a New
Haven young man of rs, who had
fallen violently in love with the gypsy
princess. She did not return to the
camp at night at the usual hour,
and consequently there was great
uproar. The young man had paid
frequent visits to the camp and the
girl had her palm as frequently crossed
with silver, because she predicted for
him great fortune. Still his actions had
not excited the suspicious of the other
gipsies.
The young woman is beautiful, has
black eyes and long dark hair, and is
one Of sixteen children that call
Prince Williams father" The latter,
who is veritable prince among the
gipsies, was born in England fifty Years
ago. His headquarters arein Boston,
where he owns a we}l-stocked livery
stable, which he looks after in the win
ter, but in the summer his sons attend
to it while he roams at the head of his
band through New England.
He is reputed to be very wealthy,
and owns, besides, farms in East Hart
ford, Massachusetts, and Canada. His
wife IS the purchasing agent and treas
urer OF the band, and drives many a
sharp bargain with those with whom
she deals. The prince and princess
have a magnificent wagon, in which
glass and gilt predominant as orna-
ments, and is said to have cost over
81, 900.
No trace has been found Of the run
Always, and detectives have been put
to work on the case, with instructions
to spare neither pains nor expense to
accomplish their capture. The ven
geance OF the camp will be visited on
her, as marriage outside the camp is
regarded with horror by these strange
people.

Portland Letter TO the Lewiston Journal
Yes said Uncle Morris Cobb, Il

perhaps, with eyes already growing dim

Gle Morris Cobb is probably the last
survivor Of the little band Of heroic
but sadly mistaken men and women
who in 1843 followed Elder William
Miller into bitter poverty and through
many trials to at last share with him
his GROWING disappointment.
OF these men and women many
queer and pathetic stories are told.

came as a bridegroom on the tenth

the old Regiment, in Pike County, gives
the names of several officers of the Reei-
ment who have written him urging the
working up of the Reunion at
this place on the 7th of April, including
Major Dawes, Lieutenant Cavett, Capt.
Laslev, and others. This Reunion bids
fair to be grand success, and it is hoped
that all our citizens will feel an active in
terest in making it pleasant for the sur
vivors of the brave old Regiment. BY
all working together it will not require
any great individual effort to insure sue

members the old Fifty-Third would hesi-
tate for moment to do everything possi-

let our efforts be such that the visitors
will go hence blessing the hospitality for

Education.

A few weeks ago 1 thought would
occasionally write something about edu-
cation. One object was, to get boys and
young men to appreciate their privileges
and advantages. If had had the means
of acquiring an education that the young
men of Jackson County now have, think
L would have been good scholar. Take
for instance the school to be opened by
Stephen Morgan and his assistants, in
this place, in a short time. Mr. Morgan
is one of the most competent teachers in
this State, and his assistants are all able
teachers.
Next week may refer to this matter
again. D. NJ.

Hurrah for Bundy!

ZALEsKI, o., Mar. Z, 1885
To the Editor of The Standard:
| am glad to see the name of so
worthy a man as Hon. H. S. Bundy
spoken of as a candidate for Governor
Of Ohio. Mr.. Bundy was not endorsed
as he should have been in his vote in
the Civil Right Bill, at the time; but
in less than twelve months the entire
party said his vote was right. [ think
he was the first man in this section of
Ohio to speak for tariff or protection
to home industries. 1t was as unpop-
uar in those days to talk tariff as it
Was to make an abolition speech. Mr..
Bundy has been first to put himself
on the right side of all questions that
have come before the people, without
any regard to public opinion. As to
his qualifications, there is no question.
Let US then give him our endorsement,
by nominating him for Governor.

actually so. They seem to be little
fearful yet, lest some Republican
trick will cheat them out of their
President. Then there's Rebel Col
onel for Secretary of the Interior, and
a another Rebel Officer for Attorney
General. Oh. its too much to take
all in at one time.
