He positively leaves for homeon wednes-

have heard aud read Of DR.. Curtis, We
are convinced that those who place
themselves under his care will receive
the most careful treatment. His court
eous and gentlemanly manner has al
ready impressed many Of our citizens
most favorably. DIR. Curtis is, we be-
lieve, an Englishman, and one who has
received the highest academic honors,
both in his own country aud on the
continent of Europe. His work, Man
hood" is one of those books before the
public that can lay claim to being strictly
professional; at the same time it is in
telligible to all who read It. We would
therefore note that those suffering from
the diseases comprised under the Doc
tors specially can call upon him at his

FATE OF JAMES o'KELLY.

The New York Herald, which is the
most enleprising newspaper on the
globe. was stimulated to attempt new
and greater exploits by the splendid
success of Stanley in finding DIR. Living
stone. Since that achievement its efforts
have been directed in the search OF news
and truth in fields fully as dangerous
but nearer home. A commissioner
named Henderson was sent over to Cuba
n few months since to investigate affairs
on that island, and particularly within
the insurgent lines, but he became IN
undated, and failed to go beyond the
Spanish lines, as he was politely In
formed that the volunteers would shoot
him if they found him. He wrote some
interesting letters, but was deemed uniit
for his dangerous mission, and was re-
called. He was succeeded by Mr.. James
o'Kelly, a young Irishman of good edu-
cation and address, who, after leading
rather an adventurous life, and taking a
part in the campaign of Macmillan in
Mexico and in the Franco-Prussian war,
came over to this country in 1871. The
Captain General, who always has hap
uened to be Of a ferocious character,
refused to give O'Kelly pass beyond
the lines, but told him he could go with
ont one. and that il he returned from the
camp Of the insurgents The would be
shot. Remembering the fate Of his pre-
decessor, he braved death and went on.
After remaining among the insurgents
six weeks he reappeared in front of the
lines and was arrested on the last day OF
March, and so closely confined at Man
zanillo after his papers were examined
that his arrest was not known at Havana
for more than week. The British and
American consuls used their utmost ef-
forts TO secure his removal to Havana
where he might have at least the form OF
a fair trial; but instead Of this he was
carried in almost an opposite direction
70 Santiags de Cuba, still more remote
from his friends and from the civilized
world. A dispatch yesterday reported
that he died on the way from i'll treat
meut, which means, we presume, that
the bloody Spaniards or the volunteers
murdered him. 1t does not appear that
he had violated any international law, or
that he could in any sense be considered
a SPY, for he carried open instructions
and proposed only to write important
accounts of what he saw and heard.
This action of the authorities tends to
strengthen the suspicion of the outside
world that the affairs of the island will
not bear exposure, and that the rebel
lion, SO eften crushed, still flourishes
and bides its time. If Mr.. O'Kelly has
been fouIly dealt with American feeling
will be greatly intensified against the in
solent rulers of the island, and proper
occasion may be afforded for interference
on the part of the government. And if
the British government should be the
FIRST to move in this matter the day OF
Cuba's deliverance from misrule and
anarchy would be greatly FASTENED

The Greateef Billiard Average on
Record.
NEW ORLEANS, April l5.-The general
public attention which marked the in
ception ofthe Ubassy- Miller match about
two weeks ago, and the vigorous interest
which was manifested thereafter when
the match was consummated, gave as
surance that the inaugural game of the
series would be the occasion of q large
gathering of billiard patrons, and such,
indeed, proved to be the case. Last
night in Harmony Hall these two ex-
perts crossed cues in their first encoun-
ter before an eager assembly of fully
seven hundred persons, among whom
were seen many venerable gentlemen
well-known in banking, mercantile and
professional circles, and in whose pres
ence there was furnished an atmosphere
Of dignity and respectability quite en-
couraging to the ardent advocates Of the
high claims of ye noble game. Accord
ing to the terms of the agreement be-
tween the two players they we're matched
to play four games, three hundred points
up. French caroms, for 500 side each
game, or total of $500, Miller receiv-
ing the odds of discount. 1t was
further stipulated that each player
was to be privileged to furnish 8 by 10
table of his own selection for two out Of
the four games. Mons Ubassy furnished
the table, and he chose an American
standard of the Beel pattern. The
balls used were q inches in diameter.
The game commenced at 7;45. Mons.
Ubassy entered the circle of auditors
within which the table was located, his
appearance being greeted by cordial
applause. Directly thereafter Mr.. Mil
Ter came forward, and the enthusiastic
ovation which greeted him evidenced
the sympathies of the spectators. At
this stage several bets Of fifty to one
hundred and one hundred and fifty were
offered and taken. At 1855 all but
the players retired from the table. Mr..
Abrams, the chosen marker, spotted the
balls, and the contestants banked for the
lead, Ubassy winning, but falling TO
count on his first shot, Miller cut out
the work fron the start by putting
together q well executed nineteen,
evoking loud plaudits. In the second
and third innings Ubsssy secured ,,
while Miller scored IS, making his total
"a In the four succeeding innings
Ubassy counted in but and then he
got 10, but during the same innings
