Singular Gipsy Funeral.
- A singular ceremony was lately wit
nessed in England of the obsequies of
Lemontina Smith, the ‘‘morganatic”
wife of a gypsy much famed in Ro
many circles called George Lovell.—
The ‘‘affairs of Egypt” transacted on
this occasion was of the most myste
rious description. More than one
hundred Romany dials representing
Ml the tribes in England, attended
the funeral. Returning to their
camps, a grand ceremony of crema
tion took place. All the l wearing ap
parel, trinkets, and domestic articles
belonging to or in in any way used
by the dead woman were solemnly
burnt or otherwise destroyed;' and
even the caravan in which she had
been in the habit of Travelling waB. so
it is said, committed to the flames. ^
Lemontina Smith seems to have taken
poison, and Lovell expressed his read
ness to give £20 for the two basins in
which she had mixed the fatal
draught but which had boen retained
by the analyst If the causes for the
performance of these strange rites are
inquired into, nothing of an enlighten
ing nature would be elicited.
Even .the gypsies are. involuntarily
reticent, and have nothing to say in
regard to their origin, their language
and their curions manners and cus
toms, or else they are phenominally
capable of keeping their own counsel;
and are persistent in their determina
tion not to tell modern civilization
who and wha.t they are, and what they
mean by their general behavior. Why
cannot they conform? Why should
the “affairs of Egypt” be transacted at
Wolverhampton? Why do they ob
ject to fill up the census papers? And
why should the impassable gulf have
yawned for more than four hundred
j ears between the nomads who roamed
hither no mau knew whence and no
man knows, why, and the nations of
Europe? It’ tlJfe Zingari were Pagans:
they surely hav»* had time enough to
turn Christians; if they are of Orien
tal extraction, they should surely have
become naturalized; but they seem to
have been actuated throughout by an
aggravated sentiment of the non pos
sum us kind, and as they were in the
middle ages so do they continue in
the year 1874—a problem to the
learned, and a crux to the country jus
tices, the delight of antiquarians, the
betes noires of farmers, the despair of
the rural police.
General Jackson.
The late Peter Hagner, for many
years .third auditor of the United
States Treasury, appointed originally
under Washington’s administrations
and continuing in the Treasury De
partment until Gen. Taylor’s adminis
tration, used to tell the following
characteristic anecdote of President
Jackson: It seeined that some politi-
.cian had long been making efforts to
have Mr. Hagner removed to make a
place for himself. He discovered
that Mr. Hagner, many years before
when Gen. Jackson was in the army,
refused to pass certain of his accounts
amounting to some §15,000 for want
of sufficient vouchers, which he had
lost-iii an active campaign. Armed
with this information he approached
the general, and made the unfortu
nate mistake of proposing to him,
that lie was appointed the accuiiut.
could be audited and paid. This
roused the ire of the general, and
threw him into a violent passion; he
called.his servants to turn ‘ithe infer
nal scoundrel out of the house,” and
directed one of them to go to Mr.
Hagner and order him to come to
him. instantly. Mir. Hagner was quiet
ly sitting in his office when lie reciev-
ed this peremptory order, and imme
diately obeyed it. He found the gen
eral.^walking up; and down the room
in a violent passion, and the. : first, sa-
liition he met with was,' “Give me
your hand sir; yoa’re an-hOnest man;
I respect you; you. did right, sir, in
not passing my account! I lost the
vouchers. By the Eternal! Vo be -in
sulted in myown'house.” Of course
all this was Greek . to Mr. Hagner.
The affair bad happened inany yeans
before, and was entirely forgotten by
him. It wa£ some time beforehe suc
ceeded in quieting the general down
when he asked what it all meant The
generMtlientpldliim thecircumstances
adding, “Go to your office, sir; make
yourself pei’iectly easy; there riia’n’t
be a hair of your head touched, as
long as I have the honor to. fill the
PresidentiaL chair. ’ ”
An Unknuviii and Faial Disease.
A private note from Bristol Tenn.,
states*that ‘‘a disease, supposed to be
typhoid fever at first, has terminated
fatally by nine eases; since
day night. Mr. Cianalian, ex-Mayor,
and several school girls have died,
and others are beyound hopes of re
covery. The physicians seem not to
understand the disease. The school
girls are leaving in haste.
Kanaka Simplicity.
A letter written in Honolulu says:
In travelling abont these islands the
observer is struck with the simplicity
and generosity of the Hawaiian peo-
people, It seems a pity that such a
race should perish. A mau may jour
ney fieni one end of the archipelago
to the otlier, in open day or midnight
darkness, and he is as secure as if he
was in his own house. A foreigner
never thinks of carrying firearms, for
there is no one- to .molest him. He
never goes hungry, for whatever the
Haiwaiian has, whether poi, taro, or
fish, is shared with the stranger.—
When they wer.e a wealthy and pow
erful peopleKwhgiF almost every foot
of land was cultivated, and there were
from 300,000 to 400,000, .they killed
fat hogs for theier guests; but those
halcyon days are nearly passed, be
cause in nine cases out of ten they
are now too poor to afford that lux
ury. But the aloha (love to you) is as
hearty as ever. And hearing this alo
ha and seeing the miserable surround
ings are contrasts, indeed. The sur
roundings, generally speaking, are
poverty stricken in the extreme. The
majority of those who meet you and
greet you are bat the wreck of a peo
ple healthy and powerful in their bar
baric state, but diseased and helpless
in the civilization brought to their
doors. But even to this day, like an
oasis in the desert, there are now and
then families to be found whose blood
is untainted with the terrible poison
which has nearly decimated the Hai
waiian people. This is especially true
of the chiefs and chief esses, some of
whom are splendid specimens in phys-
iqne, princely looking men and queen
ly looking women.

Thc Heart
From a recent review of Rev. Dr.
Houghton’s experiments regarding
the muscular force exerted by the hu
man heart the following facts are ta
ken: The heart is composed of innu
merable muscular fibres arranged like
two balls of twine, each with a cavity
in the centre, and both completely
enveloped in a third balk These fi
bres are, however, not continuous, as
in a ease of twine wound on a ball,
biit work independently. By calcula
ting the force exeated by these fibres,
when either contracted or expanded^
and expressing the result in ‘ foot-
tuns’’—that is, the force required to
lift a tun to the height o' one foot—i.t
appears that tlie daily work of the
left ventricle alone, which lifts at
each stroke. three ounces of blood
through a height of 9,923 feet, is
equal to about 89,706 foot tuns.
Estimating the relative power of the
right ventricle to be that of the lef« in
the proportion of five-to thirteen,-the
total daily work of. both is equal to
124,208 foot-tuns. Although the av
erage weight of the heartis about 9.36
ounces, the work dene by it in a given
time exceeds that accomplished by all
other muscles exeicised in a boat race
during the same period. Helmholz,
tlie German physicist, proved that
the heart could.raise its own weight
20,280 feet in an hour, white the best
locomotive engine could only raise, its
own weight 5,700 feet in .the- same
time. An active climber, with'a full
exercise of all the needed muscles,
could only accomplish 9,000 feet in
nine horn’s, or one-twentieth the work
done by the heart.
A Fresh-Water Seaport.
From 1799 to 1805 there were built
at Pittsburg four ships, three brigs
and several schooners, but misfortunes
and accidents happening to most of-
them in going down the rivers to -toe.
gulf, shipbuilding at Pittsburg and
upper Ohio went into a decline' nnjil
some years after in the way of steam
boat architecture 1 . One of the ships
took .out her clearance papers at
Pittsburg for Leghorn, Italy, and in
^md^riwgtee-etoannerinM-lialnfa and'
enterprise of the American people,
Heiiry Clay in ' a speech in - Congress
related the following anecdote about
her.
When the vessel arrived at Leghorn
the captain, presented his ' papers -to
the custom officer there, but he would
not credit them, and said to the mas
ter: .“Sir, your papers are forged;
there is no such place as Pittsburg in
the world! Your \\ ssel must be confis
cated.’ 1 The trembling captain asked
if he bad a map of the Umted States,
which he had, and produeed; and the
captain taking the, officer’s finger put
it down at the month of the Mississip-
er, a catacomb of skeletons, supposed
to be those of Indians of a rem <te age
a lost and forgotten race. The bodies
exhumed was of a strange and re
markable formation.
The skulls sere nearly an inch in
thickness; the teeth were filled sharp,
as those-.of cannibaL% ; the enamel per
fectly preserved; the bones were of
wonderful length aud. strength-r;the
fem ur being as long as the leg of an
ordinary man, the stature of the body
being profcably as great as eight feet;
Near their heads were sharp stone ar
rows, some mortars, in which their
corn was brayed, and the bowls of
pipes, apparently of soft soapstone.
The teeth of the skeletons are said to
be as large as those of a horse.
The bodies were found closely
packed together, laid tier on tier, as it
seemed. There was no deseemable
ingress or egress to the monnd. The
mystery is, who these giants were, to
what race they belonged, to udiat age,
and how they came to be buried there.
To these inquiries no answer-has yet
been made, and meantime the rnthless
spade continues to cleave the skull
and body asunder, throwing up in
mangled masses the bones of tins he
roic tribe. It is hoped that some ef
fort will be made to preserve anthen-
ic and accurate accounts of these dis
coveries, and to throw some light, if
possible, on the lost tribe whose bones
are thus rudely disturbed frem their
sleep in earth’s bosom.

Fan Gossip.
We take the following bit from Ma
dame Demorest’s What to Wear, .id!•'
When a lady uses her fan in an out
ward movement, that it, away in space
it means that she is married and you
must not. hope. The contrary move
ment, from space to the body, means
that she is free. If, however this in
ner movement is made by fanning in
downward direction, it means she is a
widow; if in an upward direction, that
she has never been married. A closed
fan, held upright, means, “do as you
like. ” A.n open fan, resting on the
breast-, meahs “silence,” A closed
fan presented to you horizontally,
means an “invitation presented by the
small end, indifference.” With one
leaf open, “friendship;” two open
leaves, “sympathy;” three, “love and
passion.” A “talking fan” should be
composed of seven leaves, to corres
pond with the seven days of the week.
The hour yon are expecting a rendez
vous is represented-by so many tap
being made on toe leaf which repre
sents the day. A closed, fan placed
on the lips means “don’t tell. ” A cir
cular movement of the fan means “we
are watched .” “When a New Orleans
beauty becomes tired of life she hides
her face behind her fan, and takes no
notice of toe day’s doings. ”
A Good Place to Live.
According to the local paper at
Trebizond, Asia Minor, there is an
old gentleman by the. name of Ahmed,
how living at that place, who confess
es that he is 130 years old, but who is
said by his to wnspeople to be ’consid
erably older. He was. not born in
Trebizond, but he has lived there lon
ger than any other inhabitant out of the
graveyards, and he bids fair to contin
ue'his-residence indefinitely, for- he is
in excellent health and. spirits, and
has long survived every relative-7-a
fact that possibly accounts for.- his
physical vigor and light-heartedness.
Ahmed believes that that bodily exer
cise is a great preservative of health,
and he now takes long constitutionals
daily, not allowing toe state of the
-Weather to interfere wifctoiiia peclestrl-.
ubiKTu in toe least. Trebizond would
appear, by toe .way, to be an excellent
place-for those-to live in who desire to
terry long; oh this earth, for another-
old man until very, recently derided
the.hbnors wito Ahmed.. . He .was 125
years old at the time of his premature
demise, and he retained all- his facul
ties to the end.

Sugar fob Feeserving.—Good
brown sugar is the sweetest, especial
ly much- sweeter, than the so-called
granulated white..^sugar, whica c<>n-
tains much water of -crystallization,
and. often a certain amount of . free
inoistiire besides, while ihe moisture
of brown sngar is due to syrnp or mo
lasses, which increases the sweetness
more than water, does. The finely-
powdered wjnte sugar made from loaf
sugar is much sweeter than the granu
lated white sugar, and go almost as far
in. sweetening as-the brown qualities
do. Loaf sugar is lie best.
