A TELEGRAPH STORY DENIED.
HAVANA. Nov. N.-The dispatch published
in the n. Y. Tribune of yesterday and tele-
graphed here that Spanish feet has been or
dered to rendezvous in New York harbor, and
that President Grant had ordered United
States vessels of war to cruise in said harbor,
is commented on by the Diario in its issue Of
to-day. The Diario refutes the statement that
any Spanish fleet has received orders to 60 to
New York, and characterizes the story as an
invention Of the friends of the insurgents, and
says the 1ribune's object is to excite the Amer
lean people ag ainst Spain. The Diario advises
its friends among the Americans not to place
by conspirators and published for the purpose
of producing irritation.

ART.-This morning Hale will put on exhi-
bition in his window fine marine by Harry
Brown, representing the great storm of the
10th inst at Portland Light All our readers
who were SO fortunate as to read the descriptive
and poetical article on the storm at the Caps
by Mr.. Elwell in the last weeks Transcript
will see that the artist has caught the writer s
idea at once. The waves rushing over Tundy's
Reef in clouds of foam in the distance, the
great green pillows swooping upon the rocks
In the foreground, the clouds of spray dashing
above the fog tower, while in the left of the
foreground under the huge cliffs on which the
lighthouse stands, is a dense mass of cream
colored fluid caused by the churning of the
waves in the great chasm that exists there
The waves are made, as is proper, the leading
feature Of the picture. Overhead the clouds
are just breaking away and ray of sunlight
strikes upon the tower while in the distance
the heavy wind-clouds still lower.
Geo. L. Browns great picture, the 'Foun-
tain of Trevy" a. Rome, is on exhibition in the
gallery, having arrived on Saturday last. This
fountain was erected by Clement XII. in 1875,
and is therefore, among the more modern
works of art. From niche in the centre Of
the magnificent architectural pie-on the left
of the foreground-the water streams forth,
while the figure, forming the fountain proper,
is Neptune in his car drawn by horses and sur
rounded by Tritons. A tessellated pavement
occupies the foreground, and on the right
stands a palace, in front of which steam fire
engine is standing, the artist desiring to con-
trast moonlight and freight. In the back
ground can be seen the dim outline of build
ings and shrubbery, while over the whole pic
ture streams food of moonlight which serves
to display most effectualIy the'grandeur of the
work Of the architect, and dances upon the rip
pies made by the FLASHING waters. The sky,
and the architecture Of the fountain are the
finest features in the painting. The water is
weak.

HARD ON around DANCERS.

A correspondent of the Christian IRder,
in writing from the Sulphur Springs in Vir-
ginia, has this description of round dane
ing. Its devOtees must put in the one plea
of defense-"EOHi S0it Qpi NAL q peRSe;
and then comes the puzzle, Which fellow

invited a young lady to join HIM II one OF
these close-quarter dances. She turned
upon him with surprise and said, Il am a
Catholic sir" The priest of this lady, 1t
seems, had forbidden such gyrations; hence
her reply. l thought it was noble. How
many Protestant Christians, when invited
to worldly conformity at variance with
the teachings of their ministers, would turn
promptly upon the inviter, saying, Il am

brutality of Girl Teacher in n West
ern School.


One can hardly credit that woman could
SO brutally conduct herself as the following
article from the st. Louis Republican of the
Dist inst. alleges:
Last week Mr. Edward Atkins came
10 st. Louis from Chicago to take posi-
ton in the Republican newsroom, ex-
pecting his family to follow in a few
weeks. Scarcely had he arrived when he
received dispatch stating that his little
boy, seven years of age, was very Ill. While
making preparations to return to Chicago,
another message conveyed the sad and
startling news that younger child was not
expected to live. Mr.. Atkins reached
Chicago on the morning of the 18th, and
found his Youngest child dead from conges-
ton Of the lungs. In regard to the condi-
ton Of the other, the following extract from
hasty note, written by Mr. Atkins, tells a
tale of atrocity enough to freeze the blood:
q" Willie is very low, and we have but
little hope of his recovery. He started to
school well and strong. During school
hours he violated one of the rules by play
ing with some Of the boys, when the teach
er Ia woman) caught him by the hair and
dragged him across the room, pounded him
with ruler on the head, neck and back,
and then threw him against a steam pipe,
fracturing his skull! His right side Is
paralyzed from head to foot. The second
day he had eight paroxysms in one hour.
This morning he is a little easier.
The Chicago Times gives the name
Of the teacher as Adelaide Herricks,
represented to be a person about nineteen
years of age and of a very violent and I'M
governed temper" The Times, after CIV
| ing an account of the manner of punish
ment, says:
After school the child went home
and reported the treatment he had under.
gone. He complained of pain in the head
but it was not supposed to be anything Sc
rious until, some time in the night, brain
fever set in, and the child became raving
crazy. In the insanity of fever, the
little one continually cried out Dom

erted their utmost influence to induce him
TO sell gold sd " E &
Learning of this movement, and in or
der to checkmate it, Mr.. Corbin procured
IRON Gen. Grant letter, to be delivered
to Mr.. Boutwell,, peremptorily instructing
him not to sell gold. us
THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.
This letter Mr.. Corbin gave to Gen.
Butterield, with instructions to deliver it
TO Mr. Boutwell, ON his arrival; but vari-
Gus circumstances having excited Mr.. Cor
bins suspicious that Mr. Buttertield was
playing false, he proposed to Mr.. Gould
that a safe messenger should be sent to
Gen. Grant with letter from him which,
as he said, would settle all of them.
This letter he read to Mr.. Gould, who
thereupon sent VIM. o. Chapinto Washing
ton, Pa, to deliver it. Mr.. Corbin after
ward received letter from Mrs. Gen.
Grant, in which she expressed great
anxiety to have these speculations closed.
One reason she assigned for closing the
matter of the bonds was, that it was i'm
possible TO tell what effect Cuban affairs
might have upon them. Another was,
that the President feared that he was in
fiuenced by these speculations, though he
tried not TO be.
$4,000 PROFIT.
When gold reached l41 Mr. Corbin in
formed Mr. Gould that he had just sent a
letter by mail to Gen. Grant, in which he
told him that he was out of all speculations,
either in gold or in bonds, and that as an
impartial observer hewas decidedly of the
opinion that it would be very dangerous
to sell gold. He then said that at the
present price of gold there would be about |
$50, 900 profit; that he wished Mr.. Gould
10 give him check for that sum, deduct |
ing the $50, 900 loss on the bonds.
ANOTHER LETTER TO TIKI PRESIDENT.
Mr.. Gould replied that it was utterly i'm
possible for Mr.. Corbin to be entirely |
clear of the speculation until all parties in |
terested had sold out; but consented 10 |
give him check for 500, 900 on account,
and he (Corbin) said that he would i'm |
write a private letter TO the /
President explaining his real position, the |
other letter being intended for use in the |
cabinet meeting.
Some time before this Mr. Corbin told |
Slr. Gould that the order had been actually |
issued from the Treasury Department for
the sale of gold, and that Gen. Grant had
it on receiving a letter
from him relating to the subject
