citizens, and greeted with a warmth that could
not otherwise than have been gratifying to him.
At Madison, on his way down from Cincin-

wharf, as the boat approached the landing, and
on her reaching her moorings, there went up a
shout from the multitude that compelled the
General to present himself on the guards. lie

them for their warm greeting, which was re-

To DYE HAIR BLACK ISsTANTANEoUsLY.-D
solve about an ounce Of the nitrate of silver in
halfpint vial; then, in another vial of the
same size, filled with ether, put some phospho-
rus about half an ounce.) Apply the nitrate
of silver to the whiskers with a sponge, and
after it is on about FIVE minutes, apply the
phosphoric ether solution in the same way, and
the red or light whiskers become black as fast
rs you can say "Jack Robinson" The hair
should then be washed. 1t is not safe, how.
ever, to tamper with the nitrate Of silver II
should never be used to color the head black
far better to have the locks frosted than colored
if health is Of any consequence to the individual
man. We have had some inquiries about the
way to dye the hair black within the past week
The above will give them all the information
they want. The phosphorus may be dispensed
with, but the color will not be formed so fast by
the silver alone. The nitrate of silver is the
basis Of all the perfumers' hair dyes. The
phosphorus gives out no very pleasant smell,
but the silver has very pleasant odor.

THE FLORIDA EvERGLApEs.-Gove Brown
of Florida has made very considerable explo-
ration of the everglades, and the opinion he has
arrived at and confidently entertains is, that
not only is thorough drainage impracticable,
but if it could be effected, the deposite laid bare
| would be found to be purely vegetable decom-
position, light enough when dry to be blown
away, and quite as combustible as peat. The
everglades are interspersed with numerous chan
nels and basins, of depth below the level of
the ocean, with limestone or sand bottom and
where the absence of all current permits the
vegetable deposites to accumulate to a greater
less depth, it is still so loose and unsubstan-
tial that many years exposure to the action Of
the sun and atmosphere will be necessary to
impart to it the qualities of soil BY deepen
ing the outlets to the sea, the water of the ever
gades could be materially lowered so as to
reclaim land about the margin, and drain the
numerous islands interspersed through this
great waste of waters; but nothing more can
be done. The waters of the everglades TEEN
with fish of many varieties, and in such num-
bers one must see to believe. With u simple
spear the fisherman may load his boat in few
moments. Wild fowls are there in such enor-
nous focks as almost to darken the sun /; and
game is abundant on the islands. Add to these
the indigenous growth of coonti or arrow-root
of which the Indian makes his bread, and the
attachment Of the savage to such spot is easily
understood To him it is almost paradise.

Translated from CLEO dItaa" for tho American Tel
egraph
DREsDEN.-The conferences of the German
Princes continue here still without any definite
result. Prussia is jealous of the Austrian su-
premacy in Germany, and will not agree, and
Austria cannot come to q definite demand be-
cause she mistrusts the promises of her rival,
Prussia. The conferences are carried on by
the parties, with the greatest energy, and it
seems they will last longer than the Council of
Trent. The records of the past say If the
Council of Trent had not speedily adjourned,
the Emperor would have suffered bankruptcy .
So we fear with the present conferences. II
they be not soon at an end, the people of Ger
many may unfortunately suffer similar re-
suit. Here the Police have lately suppressed a
book entitled the mysteries of the conference.
NApLEs.-The French police, wishing to
serve faithfully that of Naples, announced to
the latter that G. Mazzini had started for Ma
Piles in the garb of priest. In two days they
arrested in Naples about one hundred priests,
and they were not released until they could
prove that they were not the great agtator
Mazzini.
IscHIA-Letters from this island announce
the suffering of the learned and eminent ex-
Minister Baron Poerio, now prisoner of state
in the castle Of that island, where he is greatly
suffering with hunger and thirst. He is not
permitted to have either bed, linen, water, or
any other means to provide for neatness and
