CESPEDES.
The Leader Of the Cuban
Insurgents.

Correspondence OF the New York World.l
Carlos Manuel Cespedes was born sboJt
forty-five,years ago, in the town OF Bay
amo, Cuba. The first twelve years OF his
life were spent with his parents, who re-
sided on 8 plantation in the vicinity.
With them he only learned the first ru-
diments of reading, writing aud arith'
nstic. while at the same time he iBdulg-
ed in those hardy emplOyments and
hsalth-giving games which are eOpse-
quent to q life in q country naturally
mountainous and full of forests. His
family having moved when he was
twelve years Of age to the town of Bay
smo, Carlos NJ M9nuel WAS sent there to
school for the first time. A few days 81
ter the commencement OF bis studis s
there, he gave proofs Of an extraordinary
mental activity and intellectual talents,
leaving behind him the most sdvanc.
of the scholars 10 the school, and being
recognized by them as the head Of t. 9
institution. When eighteen years of age
he went to Havana. with the object Of
prosecuting bis studies there for the law
profession. His greatintellectpality VS. 8
f1rther developed there, at the san g
time that numerous personal affairs ga g
him an opportunity to show his active,
courageous and tenacious disposition,
giving an indication then that be woulU

Mating as attorney at law in EIrope,
where he went afterwards, and receiving
the greatest university honors, he return
ed to Cuba and fixed his residence at
Mansanillo. His powers Of eloqusnce,
energy, and his knowledge soon made
him the most popular man in the vicin.
ity, and entitled him to rank as the first
- nj Of hn kzxv
But of all traits in his character
generosity marks an important one, and
will give q luster to all his future ae-
tions. The fortune which he inherited
from his father, the wealth which he
smsssed by his industrious exertioDs,
and his future prospects of increasing it,
would have secured him life full of
comfort and ease but his patriotic heart
could not support longer the sight Of bis
country in chains and the victim TO the
outrages Of the tyrsnnical Spanish Gov
eminent. Inspired by q heroic resolu-
ton, he gives freedom to all his slaves,
abandons his sugar estates to the merci-
less fury of his Spanish foes, who burn
them all in revenge, and, sacrificing all
on the altar of liberty and Independence,
with the noblest motives he inaugursted
the revolution in Cuba at the head of
one hundred patriots-S movement
which now counts in its ranks the whole
native population OF the island. To the
present be has shown in ali his acts the
fullest energy, an uDtiring constancy,
and the greatest moderation in the exer-
else OF the discretionary powers conferred
on him by the unanimous accord of al
Cubans. When we see men Of this
stamp, supported by all ths natives of
Cuba, and that they, without arms and
ammunition OF any consideration, and
by their unalded efforts not only have
been able to Withstand the advance of
the Spanish foe, but have repeatedly de-

Untold WeaIth-A New Sect.

A verv rem srkable affair has recently
been brought to light IN Russis, through
the revelations Of = merchant IN the
town of MOrshtchsnsk, h0urishlng
place southeast OF Moscow. This mer-
chant accused one Piotizin with having
uuIawfuliy smssssd and secreted an Inn
mense amount OF money, which he sald
was slowed away in cellars under tue
owners residence. Furthermore, he de-
elared that PiOtizin held strfDge doc
trines and performed hideOus ceremonies
in secret. The representations OF the
merchsnt were such IS TO arouse the st
tention Of the authorities, snd they pro-
eeeded to investigate. Pr0tiZln's house
was searched by the police, and In the
cellar 8 scene presented itself which
might recall the old tales OF the spanish
INQUEST Of Mexico. Stores OF gold re-
yeaied themselves in every direction :
pots, psns, leathern bags, Canvas sacks,
all filled with the precious metal, anu
even numberOf large casks, when stood
at the further end OF the vault, were
found to be crammed with bars and IN
gots of gold to the very top. The gold
coins were mostly Of ancient date. Ihe
whole scene formed such tsbleau as the
oldest man present, in all probability,
had never before gsZsd upon; and the
earliest estimate (probsbly an exsgger-
ated one,) rates tue treasure as hlgh Is
10 600. 600. rOubles-cOnsiderab over

SPAIN.
The Duc de EOntpensier to be
King.

The Duke OF MOutpeDsier, who, the
cable says, is to be King OF Spain, is the
fifth son of Louis Philippe, formerly
King of the French. He was born at
Nuiiiy, nesr Paris, in 1924. His cunning
father married him ia 1916 to the Span
ish Princess Louisa, the sister o. queen
Isabella IL, and st the same time brought
about the Queens marriage 10 her i'm
beetle cousin, Francis Of Assist. Louis
Philippe supposed that this would De q
childIess marriage, and that the children
of the Duke of Montpensier would &C
cordingly inherit the Spanish throne.
His calculation has proved erroneous in
every way. He himself died in exile,
and for more than twenty years none OF
hiefzmily have seen their native Uoun-
try. Isabella II. has number Of chill
dren, and yet the old Kings principal
end will be essentially gained when
MOntpensier himself puts on the crown
of Spain, with q reasonable chance, IS
things go, of transmitting It to his pos
terity. The new King will be known as

WATCHES.
WALTHAM
w Watche5s :

THE extensive use of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, En-
gineeTs and ExpTessmen-them most exacttng Of
ateh-wearers-has thoroughly demonstrated
the streH 9Th, steadiness, durability and seeu-
racv Of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that
class In all these respects Is to decide the ques
ton as to the real value OF these t1me-keepers.
More than 400, ,0O0 Of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets Of the
peopIe-a proof and guarantees OF their supe-
riority over all others.
The superior organization and great extent Of
the COmpany1s Works at WalthsIn, enable
them to produce the watches at q price which
renders eompetition futile, and those who buy
any other watch, merely pay from 25 to 50 per
cent more for their watches than Is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches at less
prices in greenbacks, than the gold prices be-
fore the war. There Is no other manufacture
of aDv kind I'm the United States OF which this
can be said
These time pieces combine every improve
msnt that a long xPerience has proved Of real
ractical use. Having had the refusal 70
nearly every invention In matchmaking or
giuating In this country, or In Europe, only
those were finally adopted which severe testing
by the most skillfuI artisans IN our works, and
long use on the part of the public, Demonstrated
To be essential to correct and enduring time
keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize:
The invention and use OF eenter-pinioD OF
pecuIiar construction, to prevent damage to
the train by the breskage OF nain-sprtngs, ls
original with tue American Watch Company,
who having had the refusal OF all other con-
trivanees, adopted Fogg's Patent Pinion as De-
ing the best and fa0ltless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by Watchmakers to oe
the best, are used in all grades Of WslthsD
Watches.
All Walthan Watches have dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement rom dust and les
sening the necessity Of the frequent cleaning
necessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless
watch. Is already decided success, and great
fraprovenent on any steEa-winding watch in
the American market. and By far the cheapest
watch Of Its quality now offered TO the pubic
TO prevent imposition, buyers should inva-
riably demand certificate Of genuine1ess. No
watches retailed by the Company.

Another Indiana Brute Cap
tured.

From the Evansville Qnd.) Journal, SOth.l
We have heretofore had our attention
called to the fact that two little girls,
aged about seven years, were assaulted
aud ouirsged by some fiend in human
form, but have withheld the publication
of the same, in order to throw no obsts-
Gle in the way of his being arrested.
Several persons had been suspicioned and
watched. Yesterday another little girl
between five and six years OF age, was
set upon by some scoundrel, aSd an at
tempt made to outrage her person, but 1t
was not known by whom. The police
arrested a man ip the afternoon by the
name of Herman Rupert, who has been
suspieioned, and the little girls were
taken to look at him In crowd to see If
they would know him. Hine little girls,
two Of whom had been victims, and the
other seven had vile proposals made to
theuu, went into the room to look at him,
and he was Immediately identified.

1t is whispered in Washington that
Mrs. Grant is IN the interesting condl-

delight to be, and will add another hsir
to the honors of the house of Grant, an
other olive branch at his tsble, and a

tous court journal, the New YORK Herald,
has delicately prepared the public mind
for the event By mysterious allusion to

first PAsidentis wife Who has ever given
birth to child in the White House, the
occasion will doubtless lie the cause OF
honest rejoicing among all the people

minds that "the nation" will owe this
auspieious event to the fact OF their hav-

THE CHIEF OF SALTS
He is Down ON Gew-GaVvs and
Geld Lace.

From the New York Herald.l
Some Of our contemporaries are max
ing merry over the late General Order
No. 80 Of the Navy Department, chang
ing again the insignia Of rank threugh-.
out the navy, from Admiral So
Midshipmsn, from Captain to Carpenter
and Sailmsker. Bus, in truth, this mat
ter, to those whom it concerns, is by no
means trivial. The uniform question is
8 leading one with sll men whose duties
compel them to wear q Uniform, from
postmen to policemen, from 1remen to
FreemSsOns, from militismen to vOlun-
teers, and SO on to regular troops Of both
army and navy. To sailors, soldiers and
civilians, we say, in camp, In court aRd
on quarterback, the question Of Uniform,
and, above all, that Of insignia of rank,
is enc Of constant discussion.
Now, 1t SO hsppens that the tendency
Ia these matters is toward prOfase show
Often in war times, when deeds are more
conspicuous than rank, there is a revul-
sion toward simplicity in drsss-the gor
geOus epsulette gives way to a plain
shoulder strap, ths cooked hat to the
kepi-and General Is sometimes caught
out on his picket line in an old gray
blouse, with nothing external to distin-
guish him from his men. But the Ordi
nary tendency is the other Way-toward
enormous swsthes Of gold lace, espe-
eislly in the navy.
Secretary Borie's order is directed TO-
ward simplicity. 1t is good one, ana
called for by the present array and dis
play OF gold bands about eoat-cuffs. A
very high naval officers arm had got to
looking like bsrber's pole. The mat
ter, however, is now simplified. For
merly, also, it would require much
knowledge and marrow inspection to de-
sermine whether an officer was Of the
staff or line; but now, however, the staff,
as 10 the L lglish navy, are to wear col
ored cloth between the stripes Of gold
lace around the sleeve-medical officers
cobalt blue, paynaasters white, and en-
Gineers red. This order displays prac-
teal knowledge Of the necessities of the
service, and, with the exception Of the
changed insignia Of rank, it leaves the
uniform OF the navy as before.

estimates OF the crop OF 1859, as given
out from New York and Liverpool, are
extravagaRt and wholly unreliable. The

destroyed by insects in Georgia, Alabama

equal to the capacity Of our labor, con-

the prospect is fer deterioration rather
than for Improvement. The increased
