Oe needs only to allude to "The Bohemian Girl" and "Romany Rye" to excite scores of reminiscences in the mind of every theater and opera goer, an yquhts2 two works ate but types of a 'plata that are favoritel on every stage In the world. TJ t (mg, gayly dressed gypey of the stage, with his olevernees of inttigue, Ms blue breeches, white etookings and red embroidered jacket, 'with his ability to solve the problems which puzzle all the rest of the company and untangle the knotty plan which the dramatist bas con- trived, is a very different oharaoter from the wanderer whose advent into a neigh- borhood is usually regarded With appre- hension by every farmer and householder in the vicinity. The Spanish gypsy of real life is a dirty, lazy vagabond, who, by preference, makes his living by stealing. and when the times are not favorable for hie thievish operations, that is, when there; is nothing to steal, he will conde- scend to do a little work which can hard- ly be dignified with the name of employ- ment, for his industry seldom rises above tinkering pots and pans, mending wash bees eat meter buckets, grinding scissors and knivee, 7 He Is gotta/321i a ieilbitribiis specimen Immanity and not less so in his vast than in hie present, for where ho came from, what was his origin, under what circumstances he became a wanderer, he knows no more than other pedple. The first appearance of hie race in Europe watt about the naiddle of the fifteenth century, when a band of over 100 gypsies made their appearance at Paris, clahning to be Egyptian Christians, who had been driven out of their natiye country by Saracenie persecution. This story was subsequently found to be false, for there is not the slightest sointilla of evidence that the gypsies came from Egypt, but the claim first set up gave them a name in English at leaet, for gypsy is but a contraction of Egyptian. In the matter of name, however, the gees), is more fortunate than any other race of people, for in every country he is called differently, and has accepted one name as readily as another. In Imre they are called Zingari; in Spain, Gitanos; in Germany, Zigetiner, or wandering rogues, a name which in France has been con- tracted into Tsigani; in Hungarry they are Ozigaynok; in Turkey, Tehinganeh. They called themselves almost as various- ly to other people name them, but usu- ally their own name is chosen from some one of the gypsy dialects and eignifies "people." Manush, Rom and other names are in use in different oountries, there being no uniformity among the bands of gypsies in this particular. The gypsy lack of history has caused many theories to be advanced as to their origin, but the most satiefactory regards them as the descendants of lovaclass Erin - does who in the fourteenth or fifteenth centuries, were driven from their native land by the 'military conquests of hostile kinge. It is oerMin that throughout Tur- key, Persia and North ..efgeanistee there are tribes hieh,in habits, customs and latopeages, resenible the gpySies Of E. u, rope. Theee tribes tire elosela analogous to the lowest clasees of tee Hindoes, so this theory, in tiefault of a better, is geu erally sescepted. The eeepsy has iao religion of his own; if he ever bad one he has lost it in Ms wanderings.

Gypsy music in Spain is closely anal°. gous to the muslo Of the country, being quite a different article from the MUSIC of Hungary. What 18 called Magyar inu- sic, tha musio of Liszt's rhapsodies, is really gypsy music, construoted without the slightest regard to the rules of com- position as laid down by the great mas- ters, the different parts having neither connection nor sequence; the gypsy char- acter must be understood before the gypsy, music can be appreciated. In Spain the guitar and the castanet are the favorite musical instruments of the gypsies, as of the people, but the gypsies handle both with a chic peculiar to themselves, and have given to the Spanish music a gypsy individuality im- possible to desoribe in words and yet per- fectly intelligible to the ear. The Spanish gypsy has not been in the least misrepresented by the dramatists in his ability to intrigue, and from this rea- son he becomes a political factor of no mean hnportance in times of social dis- order and revolution. The gypsy bands throughout Spain are everywhere in com• munication with each other and are able to eprepai. igtelligence in some mysterious way with inconceivable rapidity. How they communieate with each other has not been discovered, but in more than one splaysh_ up:49119 sy.Rlies have been utilized by Elie consplratiirs to spread intelligence of a proposed uprising. For the veeptlerere have everxthing to gale) and nothing to lose by evouti3n'find ' social disorder, and are consequently al- ways on the side of the revolutionists. Rioting, the looting of shops, the pleadering of hotlees, are occupations Which very 'pleasantly vary the nionetony of gypsy country life and wherever disorder is present there the gypsy is also. It is, therefore, with some uegree of apprehen- sion that the government contemplates the mysterious movements recently re- ported of the Spanish gypsy bands to- ward the north. The north is for Spain a dangerous direction for the wanderers to take. Th3 north is the Carlist coun- try, and the movement of the gypsy bands toward the Pyrenees, it is feared, forebodes e corning revolution. Youth end Age. Age, it must be admitted, is often capricious and unreasonable, but youth, which we all 'save had, is so great an advantage in itself that it should learn magnanimity and restrain its desire to rule.

Of the good things which Porto Rico raises in excess of her own needs and vehicle she exports wo take more than any other country, even more than Spain. The mother country takes but about one- sixth of the total, and on the balauce a high export duty has been charged to help swell the enormous tribute exacted by Spain.

All this industry is carried on practically without railroads, less than 100 miles of poorly built and equipped tracks being in operation, and the wagon roads dwindle into mule paths a few miles back of the coast.
