Rich Jewelry—Large Receipts. Patriotism assumes tts noblest type when found in woman. Poland, dismembered and divided by the dissolute but imperial hand of the historic Catherine of Russia, gave exodus to a bevy of beautiful and fascinating ladies, who filled the brilliant capitals of Europe and charmed kings and prelates by their more than womanly devotion to the land they loved. The zealous and warm-hearted brunettes of the fairest of tropical isles are not behind their heroic prototypes of a century ago, and it is in every sense pee that they will accomplish more. One has ut to visit Apollo pal at the junction of Twenty- eighth street and Broadway, to be convinced that i Cuban revolution is no holiday sport. There will be found young ladies who, directly or indirectly, have been despoiled of their fortunes by the ruthless hand of the Spanish oligarchy, and who, because of their true re- publican instincts, have been forced from their ele- thomes. To see these beautiful ladies, all sis- in @ common cause, unite their energies and feminine expedients to procure aid for thes sick and wounded of the patriot army, reminds the American of the day when the great nS Fair was the mode, and when the purse strings of on York were held by its humane projectors.

Besides this, the persistent eiforts of Mesdames Marcias and Collins have reduced the whole to a perfect system, so that good order obtains throughout. About $400 a day are now being real- ized; and this is an average of the daily receipts since the fair was opened, on the 26th of April. it the mtention of these ladies, who, it might be sai have received no assistance from gentlemen, to con: tinue the exhibition and sale so long as they remain remunerative. Lecture by P. B. Du Chaiilu. M. Paul B. Du Chaillu deiivered @ lecture last evening for the benefit of the Cuban Laces’ Falr at Apollo Hall, corner of Twenty-eighth street and Broadway, before a numerous and sympathizing au- dience. The lecturer said he was happy to be abie to lecture for the benefit of the wounded of Cuba and to add his mite to their cause. He would give them that night an accountof the geography of Equatorial Africa. He had travelled in that country more than fifteen thousand miles on foot, and brought home several thousand stuffed birds, one thousand quad- rapeds, very nearly three hundred skeletons wild beast over thirty gortiias’ skins ana skele- tons, chimpanzees—in fact he it all the beasts he could, with the SS ol hart aN which were rather too to be carried.
