AN UNIQUE SCHOOL.

A London woman has opened school
for voice culture. Ladies of the best So
cial rank attend that they may learn to
a greater degree the perfect use of that
glorious gift which a kind Providence
has bestowed upon the women of the
English nation. it would be wiser to say
the women of Great Britain. for it is
asserted there are no voices sweeter
than those of the Irish ladies, most of
them possessing the famously beautiful
speaking tones of Mary, Duchess OF
Towers. whom Dn Maurier has frnmort tai
ized @d i in T. peter Ibbitsen.''
If that London teacher would come to
the States she would find abundant ma
that after fair illustration of he1
powers the best women in our social

HAVANA, May 16, via Key West May
20. 1S95.-Insurgents are causing some
trouble in Santa Clara and Puerto Prin-
cipe provinces. Bands have been formed
in several places, and as the sugar mills
have with few exceptions finished grind
ing. the idle plantation hands are join
ing the bands. In many sections the
mills shut down before the crop was all
in. as the hands We're leaving for the
camps of the rebels. The outlook for
next years crop is most discouraging,
as men to clean the fields cannot be
obtained. The average plantation hand,
white or colored, prefers the rowing life
the insurgents lead, with plenty of free
beef, and what other provender can be
found. AS yet no large bodies of insur-
gents are reported this side of the San
tiago province The small bands can be
dispursed or they may be the nucleus
for larger bodies The arrival of Gomez
and Marti. it is claimed, will be the sig
nal for Puerto Principe to rise. A fort
night will show whether these chiefs
can call the people to arms and spread
the insurrection beyond the Eastern Dis
trict.

MANZANILLO, May 12, via Key West.
May 20, 1S95-Martinez Campos paid an
unheralded visit to this place today.
Your correspondent preceded couple of
hours and found 500 Spanish soldiers
sdling at the barracks and lounging about
the fendas. General Campos was rowed
ashore from the Villavarde in a steady
rain. He remained an hour, talked
with the town officials, and the COM
mandante who was the highest military
official in town, and then departed on
his way to to Cienfuegos, Matanzas and
Havana. Half an hour after Campos
arrival all of the troops except 100 re-
ta.ned for garrison duty, were march
ing through the mud to the interior.
Lieut.. General Lauchambre. who is in
command of this district, was at his
headquarters at Bayamo, thirty miles
away, and escaped some caustic remarks
which the Captain-General dropped while
here. A special messenger with orders
from Campos for Lachambre left for
Bayamo today.
This district adjoins that of Santiago
on the west. With the exception of the
larger towns it has been in the hands
of the enemy for two months, and no
fight of any consequence has taken place.
There are about 1000 insurgents in the
district. Bartolo Masso, a white Cuban,
is the leader. and over half the men
under him are whites. Under Guerra
is one of the most active of his lieu
tenants. Rubi, who is now with Maceo,
raised his band in this vicinity. The
two Voga brothers also belong here.
Neither of them has surrendered to the
Spanish, nor has Maceo offered to sep
out. All these chiefs were in the ten
years war. Maceo was kept prisoner in
Spain seven years after the war ended,
although offered his release at any time
that he would swear allegiance to the
Crown. He never did. When finally
set free, he told the Spaniards he would
rise at the first opportunity. He kept
his word, going out on February "a.
He is a man of intelligence, is an ex-
perienced leader, and has more white
followers than any rebel chief. He has
kept his men from burning and injuring
property, and when the Spanish author
tiles have failed to punish malefactors
he has done it for them.
One of Anider Guerra's Iieutenants,
Juan Castillo, was recently courtmar-
tailed and shot by Maceo's and Guarars
for repeated outrages upon citizens. A
Negro incendiary, who was captured by
Maceo's men and turned over to the
authorities is now in Jail here.
General Cascon is said to be displeased
with Lachambre because the latter did
not go out into the mountains and attack
the insurgents. Maceo is continually in
viting attack, but he always selects the

In North Carolina over century ago
lived Dir. John Payne, wealthy plant
err descended from an cnrl's daughter.
lie and Thomas Jefferson, who after
wards became president of the United
States, both loved the same beautiful
girl, Mary Coles. She preferred young
Payne. and married him, and became
the mother Of Dolly, the wife of Presi-
dent James Madison, ono of the most
beloved Of women ever in the white
house.
Dolly was an uncommonly beautiful
child, and her fond mother, lest the sun
should tan her face, used to sew sum
bonnet on her head every morning, and
put long gloves on her arms when she
went 20 school.
Mr.. Payne, her father, Quaker, be-
came convinced that slavery was sin,
and sold his plantation, freed his slaves
and moved to Philadelphia, in 1856.
This was just after the revolutionary
war, and the money of the country had
become deprecated.
John, his Oldest son, was travelling In
Europe, and camc home TO help his
father start in business. Neither knew
much about close economy, or business
methods, or the dishonesty OF some of
their competitors After a time Mr..
Payne failed, and the rich family were
reduced TO poverty. The father sank
under his misfortune.
wealthy young man by the name of
Todd, of excellent habits, had befricnd-
ed Mr.. Payne in his pecuniary troubles.
He wished to marry Dolly, but she did
not love him well enough.
The father called the young beauty
Of nineteen 20 his dying bed and told
her .his wish. that she should accept
John Todd. Dolly consented, and thus
made her fathers last days happier.
Mr.. Todd proved devoted husband,
but died of yellow fever three years
after their marriage. leaving Dolly
with two littlo children, one q baby
of three weeks, who died soon after.
Two years later she married James Mad
ison.
Mr.. Payne and his beautiful wife,
Mary Coles, had always been kind TO
their slaves, so much SO that some re-
fused to leave them, and came to Phila-
dolphin 10 live in their home.
One poor slave, called Mother Amy"
when freed, went out TO service. She
saved. all her money carefully; nobody
could guess for what purpose.
For herself. she could endure poverty
and not mind IL. She did not need or
care for fine clothes, but she could not
bear that the woman who was once. her
lovely owner should be ia reduced cir
cumstances.
When death came for 'Mothcr Amy"
after all the hard years OF labor, she
left $500, which She had struggled al

1t is quite fad nowadays to collect
rnre and curious eggs and vast sums
are paid by wealthy collectors for tho
delicate little ovals One OF the largest
private collections in the world Is that
of Mr.. J. Parker Norris, well-lxnown
lawyer of Philadelphia. He has spent
more than $50, 900 for fine specimens of
egg shells.
One must know many things about
birds and their habits In order TO mako
a valuable collection OF eggs. Hun
drcds of books have been published on
the subject OF birds eggs Uncle Sans
government has published few of
these books, and nearly al OF them are
costly.
Mr.. @. w. Crandnll, of Woodsidc. N.
", has according to the philadelphia
Press, been quietly adding rare eggs TO
his big collection for the past soven-
teen years. This remarkable collection
contains curious eggs from oil parts Of
the world. Here arc eggs of the casso-
wary, from Timbuctoo, and the queer
yellow eggs of the rhca, or South
American ostrich, contrast with green
black emn's eggs and the yellowivory
OF the African ostrich. Then there are
10 species Of eagles eggs, while the
eggs of the Lapp owl rest by the sido
OF those Of the little Indian pigmy owl.
Many beautiful gyrfalcon's eggs from
Iceland and other raritics adorn the
collection, which includes. in all, 10000
specimens, sets of eggs of GOO species
OF North American birds and 500
foreign.
The amount of work which the
gathering of so many eggs represents,
not TO speak Of the risk of life, Is Inn
mcnse. Looking upon q mere set Of
gyrfalcons eggs In "a cabinet, one must
think of the intrepid collector, who de-
