The romautid story f Paul Jones has been revived in octsgenarian circles by the death, at Fairfield, (5onneetieut, on Hej.Umilsir 2 3d, of Mrs. Ann INninan 1 K,1irS, youngest daughter ttf the fam ous Captain filisha Jlinman, of the 'Ifnihxl Htatcif Navy, who was ootumi-; sioiied by (!ongress in tho latter part of and whoso gallant and, important service havo been tho theme of manv a fireside legend. It was 'on board his own ship, the Mfrml, that tho first American flag was hoisted by the he roic Paul Jones in the Harbor -of Phil, adelphia. Captain If iomun's ' instruc tions from ' tho Naval Committee on tlutocension are still extant--a faded and .yellow document having the signa ture of JSefijamin Franklin, liickard 1 Terry I.ee, Kol.crt Morris and others well known in connection with the Revolution. One sentence of it reads as follows: "It is unnecessary to rec ommend to yon humanity aud kind treatment to any prisoners that may fall into your hands." Captain Hin man captured a Ilritish ahip of war in 1777, the Captain of which, on ' being exchanged, sent him a gold-headdcane, with an appropriate inscription, in rec ogniUut of his kindness and humanity This memento and the family . bible, from which these dates are transcribed, are now in possession of his grandson, Thomas D. Day, of this eity, while the naval instructions just mentioned,- with many valuable letters bearing the sig natures of John Hancock and other distinguished Revolutionary leaders, have become the proierty,of John I. ! Day, President of the Hun Mutual Gas Cointny of New Orleans. When the good ship Constitution the "Old Iron sides' of popular tales was built, in 1791, tbo command was tendered to Captain llinman, but his advancod age cnmiw-liiid biut to decline the honor. Paul Jones Lad long since gone into tho service of Kuxsia. Tho veteran of ficer, after the war was over, tdc up his residence in Nw London, Conn., w here he could smell the sea, was for some yeais President of a bank in that city, and finally died in 1807. His wif; was tho grand-daughter of Kir John Dollx-are, Ilnionet, and his eldest ihtnghter married Sheriff Pimon, of Fairfield county,' Conn., w!i.e son, Dr. Tlieoili.ro Pimon, sras ihe I on ilv physi riait of William If.

The second ilauehter of Captain llinman beeamn llm wife oi Captain James Pay, of New . 1-i.ii.l.in, whifse sons are in jioHstnwioii of I lie fu rious relic enumerated. The third daughter, who luu just died at the advanced age of 93, has la-en twice marrzed, but left no issue. Tho liUHliaud of h.ir youth was Major- (etieral 1 homos Davis, of Troy, N. ., whodiwl many years ago. Her second husband was tho lato Alexander Kel logg, for many years identified with the large iron interests of the city of Troy. Mio was buried in tho old btirying ground nt Fairfield, Connecticut. .V, T I mm. thr emu rarcuetf. Tlie freedom of the city of London, which formed the most imiiortant inci dent in the grand municipal reception of Ixtrds BeaconsGeld and Salisbury, is rcgardtl in Kngland ns one r of the highest compliments which can be intid a public man. It is confined by that ait of the I irilisli metropolis called J lie City, which has its own muni cipal government, and is under the jurisdiction of the lord mayor. The ceremony is impressive .and in accord with ancient usage, In the first place fhe cortioi-ation tenders tho privilege, and invites the person on whom. it. is to bo conferred to apiiear before tho city chamberlain and received his for mal permission. The future freeman s nuino ami those of civic omcial who vouch for his worthiness, are next re corded in a book reserved for the pur- ose. Tho chamberlain then adminis ters an oath of fidelty and gives the freeman a gold box containing the parchment document, vouching for. Lis citizenship. Tho priviliges thus con ferred have ceased to possess practical value, especially to tho public men who are accorded them. Tho freeman at pnee becomes part of "the city" in its corporate capacity, and his children dwelling within seven miles of the city share in the privilege; . lie may en- gago in retail trade without psying certain dues, antl it his children be- come orphans they may become wards in the city. Among tho distinguished persons w-ho have been invested with civic freedom wero ' General Bucher, Napoleon III. and the late Sultan Abdul Aziz. . Last year tho honor was conlerred on ex-President Grant. : m m a.. ecF.B TBorcriT. An evil conscience is a man s worat enemy.

The Stanley's ' Ik AiBYm. or claim, that they' were the first family of Gypsies to emigrate to this country, but Oypsey history is not trustworthy. There were Gypsies among the . esry Knglish emigrants' to the colonies, and there were wandering trilies of Krilish or Welsh Cyiisio in Canada fifty years go.! , The Canadian Gyisdos. are noni adu; tinkers ; and ' basket makers; the Americans are principally horse traders. In the latter occuition ' the Ovtmie seem to have acquired a skilf 'poasessed by no people in civilized - life. There seems tc a Sympathy existing ! be-. twecn hall civilized people, and the beast which culture destroys.

And here in Dayton they aiui to have made their first important ; stand, their first purt-hase of projirtyi and their first attemi.t to become "niotiHo' dwellers." There they have pnrch-ased four or five farms a few miles north-east of Day ton. and acquired iKstsessiou of the old "Smith msnsion." This was bought by Mrs. JefTteys, of the tribe, a short Lime before her death, with th intention of having her children occupy itaaresi- ence. IN one oiUie tAriD houHe. how ever, are occupied by Gypsies. Those bouses that are not rented are left un occupied, while the tribe encamp near by tn their wagous or tents, preferring the Tree atmosphere and their ohl cus toms to the natt mints of the new. But tlie old folks say that they , want their children to abide tiermaneiitly on the projicrty, learn to'work the farms, and become "house-dwellers," as their neigh bors. The Stanley tribe pride them selves on being a ''Uw-abiUng and tax- paying people. But theyiwill probably outgrow tho latter pride aa they ad vance in tho arts of civilization."" ' From Dayton they start out on their fall and Winter trading excursions over the W est and South, and to this place thry return in the Spring for home work, or for tours through the North turret misters.

PREPARED OR A WBIPPISC. Z ion's Herald tolls a story of old- time discipline at Wilbraham Seminary when Itev. risk was the presiding offi cer: 'There was one minister s son, now in the New England Conference (and a very faithful and useful pastor he has been), a member of a large min- Utorial - iamily, . who, in his academic days, was .as full of mischief as the proverbial minister's son is supposed to be." "He taxed the well known elastic patience of Dr. Fisk to the last degree. 1! inally, tho doctor said to him, after a capital act of misconduct, .'You must prepare yourself for a severe whipping.' When the appointed, time came the Doctor was on hand, verv much' more affected, apparently, than the irrepres sible mischief-maker. After a solemn discourse in that most melting tone of voice that no one can forget who ever heard it, the Doctor drew his rattan and laid it with considerable unction upon the boy's back. Nothing but dust followed the blow. " The subject ot the discipline was ' entirely at 1 ease, and evidently quite unconscious of the stroke. Take off your coat, sir, was the next command, for the Doctor was a little aroused, i Again whistled the rattan around the hoy's shoulders, but with no more cilect. Take off your vest, sir 1 shouted the Doctor. Off went the vest, but there was another; under it. ; OrT with the btherf and then to tlib astonishment of the administer of justice, he ex posed a dried codfish defending the culprit like a shield, while below there was evidently stretching over other por tions of the body a stout leathern apron. 'What does this meanf said the Doctor. 'Why' said the great rogue, in a -particularly humble and persuasive tone, 'you , told me, Doctor, to preistre myself for punishment," and I have done the best I could f It was out of the question to pursue that act of discipline anv further at that time. And it is doubtful whether it was ever resumed again." ' The Burlington Hawkeye is res no n sible for this one : Mr. Thumbledork's front gate sags down into the sidewalk so heavily that he has to use , a pinch bar every time he opens it, and then it nearly breaks his back. "Why, that is ! singular," remarked a - visitor, in Sreat surprise, as he observed the con ition of the gate ; "you have no f" "No, saijj Mr. Thumbledork, tugging at the gate, "no 1 feavn t : . but the man that lived here before me had three, all prettyj and the youngest only nineteen years old. - She was married soon after they-" But just then the door came banging open, and the visitor: went in without hearini the conclusion of the sentence.
