A rebellion against her Authority bioke out in Madrid, but It was suppressed and its leaders condemned to death; she, however, pardoned them. This was followed by a decree, treeing the slaves in Cuba from their remaining years ol servitude. This class comprises those negroes born in slavery be fore 1870 and not yet sixty years of age. Practically slavery is extinct in the island of Cuba. There is some apprehension that both of those benevolent acts will get her into trouble. Her ministry resign ed because of her clemency to rebels, and the planters of Cuba art' anything but plenssd at her inter ference with slavery on (hat island, it will be remembered that for some years past all the children in Gijjha, born of slave parents, have been free.

Mr. Adams be longed to the distinguished Massa chusetts family of that name, being the grandson of John Adams a Signer of the Declaration of Inde pendence; who was afterwards r resident of the United States, and son ol John Quincy Adams who also achieved the distinction of be ing Oliief M igistrate. Mr. Adams like his great parents made alasting name for himself. Ho graduated from 11 irward University in 1825. He served five years in the Massa chusetts Legislature and served “with Wilson, Sumner nod others in organizing the Republican party in 1854, and was a member of Con gress at the breaking out of the late war. He whs appointed min ister to England by President Lincoln which trying position he tilled with the greatest diplomatic ' skill. After the war, in 187 1, he served as a member of the Geneva Arbitration Board. Mr. Adams wis a noted scholar and very con scientious man, one whom taken all in all the country may well be of. igPrYonug’s Hot-I w is the scene of a iug-i-toned, merry company of home forty gentlemen, thirty seven of whom were white, and three colored, wh » had co ne together to bold their 21st annual re-union and dinner.

Y. Freeman. THE DOMESTIC SERVANTS PROBLEM. Complaints are frequently made by he ids of families, wh cli are picked up and descanted upon by curtain newspapers as to the unreli ability of servants, and that good servants are very scarce and seems as a class to be on a rapid decline. Many families however lose good servants on account of the ignor ance of domestic affairs of those having the direc.ion of the house hole.. There is sure to be consider able friction between the untrained mistress of the house and the well trained servant, and c msiderable contusion and more di.-satisfaciioii. The mistress should have a thor ough knowledge of housekeeping, understand how to manage s, rvant.- with little or no friction and mak< the management ot household mat lets a pleasure instead of as now complai led of one of labor. .Thi subject is one tiiat is attracting attention in all cities. Some pipers are disposed to fix the difficulty ol securing reliable servants in thi.- section of the country on the fact that nine tenths of them are colon d. These papers are wrong ho e ei as New York is undergoing tin same trouble-, where ninety nim one hundredths of flie servants nr< white, as shown by the following from the Tiibune after speaking ol the toiling women in the factories whic.i we produce for the t'cngfi and encouragement of women who are compelled to maintain thim selves: ‘ But it is a curious fact thatwhik tin s ■ 20'',0h0 wo net) are toiling am; halt star > ing, housekeeper- every where are bewailing the difficult) ot seeming domestic servant, ami the ■ lass ot worn© 1 dev ited to such woi k find t hemst ives so much sought alter that they are becoming at once more exacting, more capri cious, less efficient and less trust worthy continually. It is notoriou that it is ha der every year to find good house sei vant*. Tne Standard of perfoi mance is faking and the standard of wages isiising ail the time. How can those facts be rec onciled?” ‘ Jt may be said that the working Woman who slave over the sewing machine are in a large proportion ol cases wives and mothers, and there fore cou'd not leave 'heir families and go into service. No doubt this is true of a certain number, but not. we believe, of the majority, and it it questionable whether even those who have children could not, with with advantage to themselves and their families, make the change suggested. It may also be objected that few of the workingwomen know any thing of the duties de manded of strvants. That objec tion, however, has no validity, for it would be impossible to conceive of deeper ignorance than the major ity of the green immigrants who go into service bring to their work when they begin it. Nor indeed is the efficiency of tho e who hive had considerable exp rience any thing to be proud of, for the prob lem which seems to absorb the attention of most of them is how to get the most wages for tne least work. In ihe ranks of the working women starvition wage* are main tained as much bytlie competition of their feliows seeking work as by the competition among cua us ictur eis' If thi* surplus population, which now presses so heavily upon the women workers, could be di verted into other channel* of indus try, the workingwomen (ould | rob ably obt un bet er pay. But why i .it t,bat the manifest advantages <|d domestic service do not attract < 4 those who are compelled to main - tain themselves?'’ “The position of the servant is almost ideally good. She is well I housed, well fed, paid, and her daily work is as a rule mere pastime in comparison with that of a.-ewing woman. She has a comfortable room, lives as well as her employ ers, has her appointed times of re reation and outing, and can always if prudent save more in a year than her less fortunate si.-ters can in a lifetime. Why is it then that while the house work is much pleasanter, lighter and better paid than that of the factories, the supply of good servants is never equal to the demand, and thousands ui women wear out their lives in misery and indigence while this honorable and advantageous means of livelihood is at their door.-? It can hardly be believed that preju. due against domestic service is the explanation of this anomalous state of things, for certainly the social position of a self-respecting servant is not below that, of an employe in a factory. There is no humiliation in the work. It is perfectly re spectable and even honorab e when performed with a sense of duty, as George Herbert long ago pointed out. The women who are now slaving at tlkir machines could assured y de it quite as well as it is done in n neteen cases out of iwtn ty. They would find no difficulty in obtain.ng situatioi s, for house keepers all over the city are lansacking the intelligence officer lor help. Perhaps What is needed is just the initiative.
