McGON- ROMANCE OF A FAMILY. Traveling Over the World la Search of * Kldimjied Daughter. A family of gypsies have been camp ing in Nelson near the border of Al- bemarle coiinty , Virginia , whose story contains as much pathos and romance as any to be found in the stories oi fiction or history. Although this family to all appear ances was composed of gypsies , with all the roving habits of that remark able race , yet the most casual observer , by a glance at the countenance of any of its members , could easily perceive that only Anglo-Saxon blood coursed through his or her veins. A number of years ago this family lived in a happy home in Scotland. They were endowed with every thing to make life precious competence , love , and an enviable standing among their neighbors. The one daughter of the house was sent to a distant city to receive the advantages of education not afforded by the rural district of her parental home. At the age of six teen she returned to her childhood's home a beautiful , accomplished maiden , the darling of her parents , and the favorite and pride of the en tire neighborhood. One morning , but a few days after her arrival , she took her bonnet and left the house , telling her mother that she was going to see a friend who lived at a short distance. The grief and affliction of her loving parents may be imagined when it is learned that she was never heard of again. The country for miles around was thoroughly searched by sympathizing friends , but without avail. After a long and unfruitful search the mother conceived the idea that her daughter had been kidnaped by a party of gypsies , who were in the vicinity at the time of her disappear ance and departed immediately after ward. Since that time the distracted mother , accompanied by her scarcely less grieved husband , has been traveling from place to place visiting the camps of gypsies , ever fondly clinging to the hope that she will at last find her long- lost child. REAL TRAGEDY ON THE STAGE. A Performance at a Paris Theatre Iiiter- ruptcd by Death. The performance of "L'Oilseau Blue'1 at the Theater des Gobelins , in Paris , was interupted the other night , by a sudden cessa ion in the dialogue , and the leading lady was seen to look in tently into the prompter's box before the footlights. It happened that this was in the most interesting point of the third act , and naturally all ej'es followed those of the leading lady. The audience , of course , could not see the cause of the interruption , but the artists on the stage noticed that the prompter had fallen asleep , and by an unfortunate coincidence the actress had forgotten her lines at the same moment. After waiting half a minute and the man frivinsr no evidence of returning to consciousness , one of the actors stepped forward and gently shook him. There was no responce , and looking closer , those upon the stage saw that the prompter was dead. Without dropping the curtain the people on the stage i-emained in their various positions that the incident found them. The manager stepped to the front and made his explanation , the body was dragged down iinder the stage and a new prompter climed into his place , and the play proceeded. OUR ILLEGAL MOTTO. "JE Plurlbus Uimin" Was Never Author ized to Appear on Coins. It is a somewhat singular fact that the legend "E Pluribus Unum , " whidh has appeared on different coins of the United States for more than a hundred years , was never authorized by law , made legal 1 "v of congress or any other body Ii . ; that power vested within itsell. Its first appearance on a coin was in 1786 , before the establishment of a United States mint. At that time there was a private coining establish ment at Newburg , N. Y. , and the well- known motto was first inscribed upon a coin struck at that "mint. " It was a copper coin of the value of about one penny , or something near two cents. They are now very valuable , and but few coin collectors can boast of posess- ing such rarities. In 1787 a goldsmith by the name of Brasher coined a § 10 gold piece , which is now one of the rarest of coins , there being but four specimens of it known , all of which are held at 83,000 each. This rare piece has the well-known motto stamped upon it in this mixed form : "Unum E Pluribus. " Sisal Grass of Yucatan. The sisal grass of Yucatan is one of the most remarkable vegetable pro ducts known. It grows in long blades , sometimes to the length of four or five feet , and when dry the blade curls up from side to side , making a cord which is stronger than any cotton string of equal size that has ever been manu factured. \Visdom for I'abes. A Philadelphia publisher contem plates bringing out an edition of Shakespeare in words of one syllable for use in the primary schools. This looks absurd at first glance , and yet much of Shakespeare's virility is due to small words well chosen , and many of his finest phrases contain no words of more than two syllables. - ' t A.
