OTO A Ml®' Os Real 1 Interesting Reading Matter About Gypsiss WHERE THEY CAME FROM IS A M UTTER oF C INJECCURE WHER’’ THEY ARE GOING To, THEY IHf M SELVES KN >W NOT—HUT THEY CLAIM THE MOVE —AND KEEP M V ING. Historians and Philog:s‘a have settled it among themselves, t> their own satisfactson, that G p sies cama originally from India The supposition is that this strange race belonged to the lowest orders of India, from which country they wire gradually driven by their own wandering spirit and by conquest and opposition. But that the GypJ sy hadmo other history than the history of the slave, the renegade and the vagrant in the laud of his nativity, Ido not believe. His faithfulness to his race-i - stinct bespeaks a nobler and more ancient origin than is allowed by the theory that he is the offspring of a mixed community recruites from the variour ranks of Indian society.A few hundred years would not suffice to weld together such a heterogeneous mats into a people whose traditions and spirit shoe pl survive two thousand years undim ed, and promise to live on for as many more. Only the remnant of a vast’ ancient race would be able to scat ter over the world, to separate inte small groups, live in tvery lard and clime, to experie. ce the sway of every form of government o' which history has account or which exist to-day, to kt ow the influence of every form of >tl giou and yet. to be at the close of tb-> nineteenth ceaury what they were in the days of their expulsion from India, what they were in lhe Middie A:*es in no wise changed or changing, always the same,in all lands tel ers of fortunes, traders of borteepleal ers in mystery. Though separated for hundreds of years and by leagues of space they all speak the same language and live the same life, alike faith ful by the sands of Sahara and by the shores of the Arctic Sea, by the flow of the Ganges and by our ow Missi si ppi. That they passed through Per sia aud Greece their language tes tifies, as it also testifies to their vast antiquity,by being closely al lied to Sanscrit. That imme Late ly prior to their entrance into Eu rope a large body of them spent some time in Egypt, is matter of history.F<ona this fact conies their name Egyptians,‘Gyptians, Gyp sies. They first appeared in Europe be. fore the twelth century, and iu the fourteenth century their numbers were largely augmented. The first notice of them in European litera ture occurs in the writing of an Aus trian monk about 1122, who describes them as “Ishinaelites.” In 1417 a band of 300 wanderers, black as Tartars and cullimz them selves Secani, appeared at the gates of the German cities. They bore letters of safe conduct from the Em peror Sigismund. Iu 1418 they ap peared to the number of 1,000 at the gates of Zurich, led by “Duke Miche ael, of little Egypt,*’ In 1422, ac cording to the chronicle of Stumps, the old Swiss historian, 14,000 of these “rogues and vagabonds” pre sented themselves at Basel, On the 17th, of August, 1427, a band of them coming from Bohemia ap proached the gates of Paris which they were not permitted to enter, the authorities appointing La Capelie Saint Denis as their place of lodge ment. the Gypsies sw’ept ever Europe, Their favorite account of them selves was that they’ C’ in - originally from Egypt, and that their wander ings were a self-imposed penance for a temporary abandonment of the Christian faith. But persecution soon began against them, and once afoot, it followed them swiftly and ruth .'cisly down the centuries. Francis let, ordered them to quit galleys without trid whenever t rau< eon pain of >e ng sent to the c.u-ht. In 15 0 they were conlemu e I to perpetual banishment. Decrees were issue 1 agaiu-t tin in in E iglan.l by Henry VII and by E izib-th Even as late as 1748 Frederick the Great renewed the law that ■wry Gvpsy beyond the age of e „'htee.i found in his states should be hanged forthwith. In Scotland they were m ire kindly received. Bitin 101 l an act was passed t'nt the “Egyptians pass forth of th ? realm, ’ under pain of death. More recently measures less bru tal have been adopted by the gov ernments of Europe toward these nomads. Maria Theresa interested h ?iself in the education of th ir children mi 1 in the gradual settle ment of the race as tillers of the soil. No other countries have suc ceeded in winning them from their wa idering habits, and it cannot be said that to compel them to in habit on 1 spot results in any bene fit to the race itself. To be convinced that the Gypsy i; worthy of attention, it is only n icessary to give a new statistics, not very accurate, I fear, but : s nearly exact as can be obtained at this tim *, to show how generally an I in what numbers they are scattered over the world. In Hun gary, where they are known as Czuanyok and Pharaonepek— Pharaoh’s people —there are 140, 000; in Transylvania and the Pr u'ipalit.'es, 162,000; in Spain, win re they are called Zincali and Gitanos, there are 40,000; in Eng la id an I Scotland, 18,000; in Po land 2,000; in Russia, 10,000; in Germany, France and Italy com bin'd, 40,003; in Norway, 1,500: a id so on till the total number of Gypsies in the world is computed to about 5,0*30,030.—Paul K.*s te*.
