OWEN STANLEY, THE GIPS8Y KING. [From the Pittsburg Post } Owen Stanley, the recognized leader of a large band of Gipsies in this country, died a short time since in Madisou, Ind., and his re- mains were taken to Dayton for interment be- side those of Harriet Owen, who was buried there some two years ago. ceremonies were announced to have taken place with great pomp, and roving bands of this singular people were gathering at Dayton in all directions to participate in the funeral ceremonies, which were to be of a curious and imposing character. } in noticing the fact of his death, we observe that the papersmake no remarks upon the character, lite, and personal history of the de- ceased. The “Gipsy King,” Owen Stanley, and his numerous frmily, have frequently visited this pe re and be know — well. © governmen this uliar ple among themuaren is patrinreket<cthe oldest member of the tribe or family receiving peculiar rev- erence and implicit obedience from all its mem- bers. The Stanley family of Gipsies, of which Owen was the patriarch. chief, or king, came to America some seven or eight years ago from England, by way of Canada. ‘Ine Gipsy King was the father of seventeen children, all of whom, we believe, are in America and living. These, with their descendants, now number about two hundred persons. They still keep up their nomadic, Gipsy mode of living, tray- eling from place to place in bands, sub-divi- ded according to circumstances. The trade is possessed of considerable wealth in horses, wagons, and money, the latter of which they are not averse to loaning to persons in whom they have implicit confidence. Knowing them- selves suspected, they are naturally a suspici- ous people, but when once their confidence is acqu.red they are free-hearted, open-handed, and jovial. In all matters of practical life they are wellinformed. They drive a sharp bargain, are cautious and prudent, and we can say that the Stanley family have proved them- selves honest, for in all charges made against them, which are not unfrequent they insist upon investigation and come out triumphant. We recollect that atone time, when in this city, a man from Ohio swore positively to the ownership of a horse in the possession of a member of the tribe and offered for sale at the horse-market, and he was arrested. After he bad, by questioning and cross-questioning, in- duced the complainant to swear positively that the horse was his father’s, Stanley produced the bill and receipt for the purchase of the horse, gave bail for a stay of proceedings for a ecuple of days, and not only proved his legal ownership in the horse, but that the man who was said to have been its owner still had his own horse. When the Stanley tribe first came to this country the father and mother remained in England, and joined their children in this country at the request of their son Levi Stan- ley, who sent to England a thousand dollars to aid them and some of the poorer members of the tribe to come to the United States. The old man had many valuable articles which had descended to him from his ances- tors, and which he desired to preserve as relics of the olden time. They were s lver cups and silver quarts or tankards, which had been pre- sented to various members of the tribe by Eng- lish noblemen and gentlemen, as rewards for feats of agility, strength, running, jumping, dancing, &0. When encamped os large common grounds belonging to the nobility and geutry of England amusements of this sort were common, but by an act of Porliament passed about twenty years ago these grounds were enclosed, and the camp grounds and the grazing of the gipsies, like the hunting grounds of our Indian tribes, were taken away from them. This fact, together with the fear that the younger members of the tribe might be im- essed for the Russian war, induced the Stan- tee together with several other sipey tribes, to emigrate to America, where they could find plenty of room without being regarded as trespassers. hen the Stanleys resolved to¢ome to Amer- ica, one and all, the question arose as to how they should convey the family relies above spoken of, which were numerous, and, being of silver, valuable. They feared that both in Eng- nd and in this country the popular prejudice which sets down the gipsy as a thief might in- duce the authorities to seize them under the supposition that they were stolen, and that thus they might be put to trouble and delay, or might lose their cherished treasures alto- gether. They accomplished the affair with true gipsy cunning. Purchasing a cask of liquor, they secretly placed the silver ware in it, wrapped up so as to deaden the sound, and then entered their liquor for regular exporta- tion at the custom-house. The cask and its valuable contents came safely through official hands, and the liquor was uninjured by the valuable deposit which it contained. The fam- ily are still in possession of these relics, which they as heir-looms to be handed down to future generations. Owen Stanley, at the time of his death, was about 80 years of age. He was of small stature, only about 5 feet 2 inches in height, but lithe and active as a cat, notwithstanding his ad- yaiced age. Whin encamped in the vicinity of Pittsburg, at East Liberty, last year, he could leap from the ground upon the back of the largest-sized horse as neatly as ever Eaton Stone, the circus-rider, could do. The whole tribe are remarkable for their longevity and for robust health, showing that the nomadic life, with all its discomforts, as we dwellers in cities would esteem them, is condu- cive to sound bodily vigor and length of days. Now that the patriarch has ceased his wan- — in the land of his adoption, Levi Stan- ley, the oldest son, will mount the Gipsy throne. He is a manof more than ordinary intelli- gence;with a decided turn for speculation. He is @ thorough Yankee in this respect—ready to trade anything he has, except his wife and chil- dren, to turn mobpraet sem He is a fine- looking man, and his wife is a noble specimen of the Gipsy race; she is tall and stately, with the presence and action of a born queen; her hair and eyes are black as jet, the latter bril- liant and sparkling; her complexion is a dark ruddy brunette ; her features handsome. Her mien and step are as independent as those of the ‘‘MoGregor on his native heath.”” With her broad-brimmed hat and holidsy attire, brilliant with strong contrasts of colors, when we saw her last she looked the queen as much as Victoria or Eugenia ever jd do. The wife of Owen Stanley died, and was buried in South Carolina about three years ago, and, since the death of the old patriarch, Levi Stanley and his handsome wife are now the Gipsy_king and queen of the United States, Emanciration oy Womxn in Cutna.—A Pekin letter says that the women at Northern China from man’ senseless jurious customs still In force in the Southern =e fecovered. could be identified.

SCENE IN CouRT. “The next case,” said the Judge, as he mas- ticated the stump of an extinguishing cigar, “is the State agt. Smelter—indictment for as- sault and battery.”’ The District Attorney ran his long bony fin- gers through his bushy hair, and remarked, with a confident swagger, ‘‘We are ready to take that case up and proceed to trial.’” Court.—‘Does anybody represent defendant Smelter?” As this question fajled to draw forth an an- swer, the Gear continued: ‘Mr. Sheriff, bring in the prisoner.” A very muscular. dirty-faced maa in secdy garments, arose to his feet, stalked heavily to- wards the Judge’s desk, expectorated a small rivulet of tobacco juice Byoe the floor, and, in stentorian voice, bawled out, ‘‘Ere I am, Judge; what in the devil d’ye want with a fel- ler? Court.—Smelter, the grand inquest of the parish has preferred an indictment against you for assault and battery. Have you employed counsel ?’” Smelter.—No, Judge, I hain’t. What th’ d—l’s the use o’ that? I acknowledge the corn. I did give Peter a few pckillagers with these ’ere, that’s a fact. (holding up his clenched fists) and I reckon it can be substan- tiated. Court.—Then you plead guilty, as charged in the indictment, do you? S—Well, as for that, Judge, I don’t see what's the use 0’ not pleadin’ guilty—do you? Jest to have to pay a lawyer for telling lies fur yer, when everybody knows they'd be lies, too; besides, I’d a beap rather— C.—What are your means, Smelter” 3.—Why, Judge, I means to do what’s right, and nothin’ shorter. C.—You can’t understand, Mr. Smelter; the Court wishes to know what is your pecuniary standing? 5.—0, yes, I see. him? C.—Yes. S.—Well, you see, Judge, my peculiar stand- in’ was jest this, (bringing his left fist across his breast, advancing the other on a range with his eye, at tho same time extending his left frot ) besides, you sce, my back wis agin an old barrel, so he couldu’t ‘tack my rare, as Gen. Jackson or Scott once said, I d’sremem- ber now which— C —Stop, Smelter, the Court wishes to know if you have any money. 5.—Oh, money! nary red. Judge, ‘cept the two ’naff what you owe me for ferriage. C.—Then the judgment of this Court is, that you be confined in the parish jail for forty- eight hours, dating from to-morrow morning. S.—Then I say, udge, I'd like to know how in the deuce you're gwine to git over the bayou ef you sock me in the jug. I haint got nobody to help pull the ferry flat, and I don’t want nobody nuther. Meandering in front of Bastilia is a stream of water known as Bayou Turtle, down which the angry current rushes with a frightful velo- city, “writhing and twisting like a serpent in extreme agony.’’ The only means of crossin it was in a flat, the property of Smelter, an: the mode of ferrying was by hauling on a rope stretched across the bayou and traversing through standards fastened to the gunwales of the boat. The Judge’s boarding-house was situated on the opposite side of the stream, and it so oa genoa by previous concert among the citizens—that on this particular evening that gentleman and Mr. Smelter were the only occupants of the boat. As they neared the channel, the latter drew forth froma leather sheath at his girdle an old rusty knife, and placing the blade across the rope, called out: “E say, Judge, you kin swim’ can’t yer?” “No, Smelter; but why do you ask that ques- tion?”’ “Bekase, my jewlarky, I’m gwine to cut this ere rope, and let the old crazy boat go to thun cer, which she’s sure to do ef she strikes one 0” them snags, ef you don’t remit that ar judg- ment the State got agin me in your Court to- day.” “Why, Smelter,”’ exclaimed the Judge, in evident trepidation, ‘‘you’re deranged. The Court can’t possibly do that at present. Such a procedure would be signally informal; in fact, superextra-judicial, and of no force or validity. The Court. you observe, is not now in the position of a Court, but merely that of a private individual; hence whatever course it might pursue in the present exigency, would avail you nought. True, my friend, when the Court is ‘in line’ or ‘function,’ it is then the exponent of the law, and knows no other motto than ‘fiat justitia ruat celam,’ and so long as the judicial ermine is entwined around me, the Court is determined to preserve it pure and untarnished, or dye a martyr in the attempt. But, Smelter, you are a good sort of fellow, and I'll tell you what I'll do.” “Well, Judge, let’s have it quick. The boat shan’t budge nare anuther inch till I gits my just rights.” “It is this, Smelter. If you will land the Court safely, it will pay you double ferriage in addition to the sum it is already in default.’’ “Can’t begin to do it, Judge;” and Mr. Smelter severed one strand of the rope ‘‘Re- mit that ar judgment right here, in Chambers, I believe you call it, don’t yer? or I'll let ’er rip, and have you a settin’ astraddle of that 8 in one minit.” ‘old, hold, Smelter, don’t do that. Put up your knife and approach the court to-morrow morning, and if you can show cause why the judgment should be set aside, the court will willingly give you a hearing. “Of course,” said Smelter, brightening up, “I kin show cause; darn good cause, too—ain’t I got nobody to help me keep ferry, and if you ut ine in the jug ain’t that stoppin’ the public fi jhway, say; and more’n that, ain’t I—but lev ead as Dy say you’ll fix it all right in the mornin’, I'll take you over.’’ The landing was safely effected, the Judge stepped ashoreand ascended the bank very de- liberately, then turned suddenly, facing the ferry-man, and said: “Smelter, answer me this question, would you have severed that rope?”’ Mr. 5 pinoed the thumb of his left hand to the tip of his nose, made many singular gyra- tions with his fingers, and answered: “Course not, Judge; I ain’t a darned fool— can’t swim no more’n a stone.”’ While the Judge wheeled round with a coun- tenance by no means indicative of amiability, and pursued his way home. The uext wersing the friends of Mr. Smelter had the pleasure of attending that gentleman’s levee on the wrong side of the jail bars.— V. O.
