a long experience of the effects OF tropical climates
could attain no pains have been spared to form an
establishment which affords to the Invalid, as well as
TO the healthy vster, every rational enjoyment that
can be derived from dwelling in the mlldest climate,
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation. The
grounds laid out in the beautiful style OF coffee es-

Esperan-a is situated the south side OF the island,
and is thus, in great measure, sheltered from the
chilly winds which now and then blow from the north
during the winter months The district in which 1t
lies has been, from lis extreme beauty, termed the
Windsor of Cuba. The house has been built with
every attention to those comforts Indispensable to
