HAVANA, May 7, 1s73.-United States
Consul General A. L. IA. Torbert spoke to
His Excellency Captain General Pieltain
on the subject of Mr.. O'Kelly's case, this

been advised by the home government at
Madrid to remove Mr.. O'Kelley to a better
place of confinement than Manzanillo, if
possible; but that he had not power to re-
move him out of the jurisdiction of arrest,
ana Tor that reason he gave orders, four
Gays ago, to have Mr.. O'Kelly removed TO
SanIlaSo." The Captain General also
stated that he had no Serious fears for the
result, anu that as soon as the legal sum
oTao was concluded he would decide.

Horticultural Notes.

GRAPES.-The editor of the HORTICULTURE
ist gives the three best family grapes in the
order of excellence, as follows: Eumelan,
Israella, Ives; best medium, Concord ;
best late, Senasqua; best white, Rebecca,
Croton, Martha: best amber grape, Wal

Moss ON FRUIT TREEs.-A correspon-
dent of the London Garden, recommends
a thin wash of caustic lime as better than
carbolic soap or lie for the instant removal
of moss. We have seen this remedy used
with great success in the orchard of A. Nj.
Purdy, of Palmyra, n. Y. 1t was not so
thick as to make the trees glaring white.
DRYING FRUIT.-At a late meeting of
the Illinois Horticultural Society, the prof
its of drying by fire heat the surplus fruit,
was freely discussed, and on the whole was
discouraged as a matter of profit. Wier
obtained only Al lbs, of dried fruit from a
lost by it. Different kinds of driers were
recommended, each thinking his own as
good as any, or best. ,ss,FLE EE0&A
RooT PRUNING.-A writer in the Lon
don Garden strongly recommends root
pruning for over luXuriant trees which do.
notbear. He says :" In numerous cases [
have seen an abundant crop of fine fruit
produced by pears and plums the very sea-
son after this root pruning had been per-
formed, upon trees from which nothing

The work must be done, of course, before
the trees start in spring. 7a fs'-

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy APP
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
