THE PR ESS.


SIR CORE AND THE PRRs1DENT.--Mr Buchan-
an is greatly perplexed at being duped by Sir
Gore Ousley, for ho has at length reached the
point of admitting the deception, though It Is
but few weeks since his special organs, tho
Herald and Union, assured the public that
every thing was working smoothly, and England
was acting in good faith, and that our relations
In Central America were about TO be established
on the best possible footing. All who expressed
doubts were rebuked as cavilers. Now the
whole story is out, and we are sold as usual,
and that, too, at very cheap price-not enough
In fact to pay for our offended national pride.
Like the Spartans, who punished for the detec-
tion and not for the crime, the President Is
most concerned at the publicity which has been
given to his folly. Sir Gore ousley regularly
bambooZled him from first to last and, after
eating various dinners at the White-house, he
! promised to make the British Treaty a coun-
terpart of the Cass- Yrissarri, which was vol
UNFAIRLY accepted as the model, and then went
| down to Nicaragua. for the purpose of dispos-
sessng us of every pretense Of right there, by in
serting an article in his own treaty for the ex-
pulsion of ilibusters, and requiring Nicaragua
| to incorporate it in ours, with full knowledge
that it would be promptly and Indignantly re-
jected by the Administration.
Having perfected his work in Nicaragua, Sir
Gore has now gone over to Costa Rioa, for the
| purpose of assimulating his diplomacy there.
| Meanwhile, the President Is much excited, and
threatens to assert our original claim under the
Clayton Bulwer Treaty. But as England has
very distinctly signifed that, if we return to
| that position, she will assert and maintain her
construction at every hazard, II Is not likely he
will long adhere to this inclination. In At
of bad humor, our Minister may be recalled,
| and diplomatic intercourse stopped, but after
the recent example in Mexico, that captious
experiment will hardly pay; so that in the long
run, the chances are--the Central American
question will be bequeathed to the new 0ppo-
sition Administration.-N Y. TribWne.
SERVED HIN RIaHr. - Read the following
| from the Bucyrus Forum of recent date:
"James Hardy, a school-teacher, was fined
| $15 and costs, for an assault and battery upon
the person of one of his scholars, Miss Eliza
beth Ann Stout, aged sixteen years. She at
| tended school few days, and then staid away
two months, at the end Of which time ehe re-
turned to school. Hardy claimed - though
| there was no evidence to show the fact--that
| on the 18th of November Miss Stout had told
some person that she had gone to school on
| that day and met Hardy, and complained to
him of having a sore throat, whereupon he ad-
| vised her to 20 home. This Hardy declared
to be untrue, and thought it an offense for
| which punishment should be administered.
So, when Miss Stout returned to school, on the
| >
the alleged outrage. She denied having said
what she was charged with, whereupon Hardy
proposed to her that she must either confess
that she had lied, take whipping or leave
school. She replied that she would leave
school, bnt he then refused to let her 20. A
waffle was sent for and brought in, which was
some FIVE feet in length. This Hardy warmed
in the ashes, and whipped on the floor, to
tougher it. He then took Miss Stout into the
recitation room and asked her to confess that
she had lied. This she refused to do, declaring
that she would not confess to a lie. The whip
was then applied with vigor, until the victim was
compelled to acknowledge that she was sorry.
Her dress was badly cut with the whip; her
back and arms were welted over, and the blood
flowing from q wound inflicted On the next
day DR.. Martin measured over eleven feet, in
the aggregate, of distinct stripes ON her back
and arms, and said there was evidence of many
others which he did not measure
CONTRIBUTIONS FOR FLESH AND DLooD.-Last
Friday evening, at the close of the Rev. DR..
Cheevers weekly lecture, he introduced to the
congregation white woman and her little
boy. He stated that they, with four other
children of as fair complexion, had been sold
to a trader, who had been generous enough to
give the mother furlough from the Sd of jan
uary to the 1st of April, for the purpose of COM
ing North to raise the sum Of 81 200, in con-
sideration of which he would tender to the
mother and her offspring the right to property
in themselves. The little boy stood on the
table, in front of tho pulpit, and his mother by
his side on the platform. DIR. Cheever said
that $500 had already been raised, $500 ot
which were contributed by the Rev. H. W
Bcecher's Church 5000 would complete the
amount, and it was important tn lat it should be
raised Immediately. At once the sum of $40
was donated, leaving but $50 to be raised.
New 0PRRA.--Verdi is now engaged in writ
ing an opera, the story of which is taken from
the awful history of Beatrice Cenci. This is
quite characteristic of Verdi, who, as he de-
lights In the romantically -torrible to degree
which no other composer has shown, has now
found a theme that can not be surpassed fol
intensity Of horror. What Shelly was unable
to render presentable as tragedy, Verdi will
probably make popular by Disgusting in soft
music, drowning, no doubt, all the most fear
full passages by his tremendous orchestration
SO full of fortissimo as TO almost crush at times
the delicate ear. The solos written for the
heroine (soprano, Of course,) are pronounced
by an eminent musical critic of Vienna to bC
full of exquisite sweetness, closely resembling
the style of Bellini A prayer in the opera
after Beatrice has discovered her unnatura
fathers purpose, is said to be the most admir-
able piece of music the author has ever com
posed.
CoLoREp PgoPLE INVITED TO HAYTI. "A
, Haytian paper extends the following invitation
to the black race scattered through North an(
South America:
"Hayti Is the common country Of the blacl

that they published, that all the descendant

Indies, belong Of right to the Haytien family
The idea was grand and generous.

THE CREvAssE.--TAe New Orleans Picayun
says; "Will not the authorities of Vioksburl
have some observations made In regard to tn
effect Of the crevasse at Whites upon the high
of the river above and below itY Valuable
facts may be recorded by such observations.
The ViCksburg Sun, Of the 1st, replies: "Al
