SOUTH AMERICAN WAR.
A Fierce Naval Battle
A LAND BATTLE EMINENT.

LIMA, November 3. A Peru letter of the
18th ut. states that the Gillian Fleet over
hauled the ironclad Huascar and gun boat
Union the 9Th inst. The latter escaped and
reached Callao owing to superior speed. The
Huascar went to the harbor of Mejillones
where the Gillian fleet comprising iron cads
and the Cochrane and Encalada, carry twelve
heavy guns, and two gunboats engaged the
Huascar.
The Huascar got between two CHILEAN iron
clads, and the fire was tremendous, fire being
kept up by heavy guns and mitrailleusess
from the tops of the Huascar. The details
are not received, except that the Huascar was
crushed and captured, and probably towed to
Antofagsta, and that Admiral Grau was killed
early in the action.
His executive officer, Capt. Agrarre, was
dangerously if not fatally wounded and only
four officer, Jovara, Ugartche, Conseco and
Placios, are reported as surviving. Chilan
vessels were badly damaged and there was
great loss of life on the Huascar and Chilian
vessels.
A commission left Lima the 18th for Eu-
rope to purchase vessels and armaments.
The lluascar carried 240 men had POO to 800
Armstrong;, r1ed in turrets, and two four
Founders on deck, plated with four inch iron.
The Gillian iron cads have nine inches of
plated, and each carry $500 pound rifle
guns.
Nearly 200, 900 soles for an ironclad to re-
place the Huascar have been subscribed. The
blow was severely felt IN Peru, but enthusi-
asm in behalf of the war increased. The
Peruvian army on the 18th was advancing,
having driven the Chilians off Quilogua.
Bolivia has prohibited expectation of grain
owing to the growing scarcity of food. Small
pox is raging in the Gillian army. Admiral
Graus wife died on hearing of the death of
her husband.
BUENos AYREs, November 3. Both Chill
ian and Peruvian armies are reinforcing.
The armies are nearing each other and bat
tie is emminent.

A Few Facts Ina Relation to an Old Oil
Painting I'm 1870.

After the death of the late Silas Leonard,
Esq, his personal effects which were not
divided among his heirs, were sold at auction
by the veteran auctioneer, George w. Jones,
Esq. Among the rest, dilapidated picture
was put up, but received no bid. Mr.. Jones
said to the clerk, put it down to me for one
dollar and fifty cents. He put 1t on his shelf
among other traps in his store, and 1t laid
there six months, when two well dressed, and
well appearing gentlemen came in to pur-
chase old relics. Mr.. Jones told them
he did not nave many on hand at present, but
told them there was an old painting he thought
was old enough for anything, and they took it
and looked it over, front and back, then asked
the price. Mr.. Jonestold them three dollars.
After few minutes hesitation they thought
they would take it. They then asked Mr.. Jones
where he got it he told them, and then they
told him their story: The picture was one
of line of historical paintings, and that one
with the artists name engraved on the back
of the picture, on copper, was the missing one
they had been in search offor some time. They
knew it was in this country somew here, and be-
gan in New York, but all they could find there
was that it was bought at auction by some
one from Maine. Then began the hunt, they
visited Portland, and all other cities west of
here, got as far Gardiner, and were told Mr..
Jones Of Augusta kept old relics, and the
hunt ended. They were very cautious in their
movements, but the finale was they sold the
picture for twenty eight hundred dollars in
gold, when it was at twenty per cent. pre-
MUM, net cash thirtythree hundred and
sixty dollars.

General Joshua l.. Chamberlain delivered
his lecture Lees Surrender, here, Friday
evening, October 3lst, before a large audi
ence. The audience listened in almost
breathless silence, and were fairly enraptured
by the recital Of those thrilling scenes enact
ed during the final death struggle of the con-
federacv. "The G. A. boys under whose
auspices the lecture was delivered, netted a
goodly sum of money, which goes into the
relief fund of the Post.

Interesting to the Weber Heirs.

The original grant Of the land to which all
the Webbers are looking as the foundation of
their fortunes is thus described to us, by a
gentleman in Portland, who has seen it,
1t is composed of four large skins of the
finest vellum or parchment, and although two
centuries and half have passed since the
cunning scrivener spread the ink upon it, the
writing is deep black, and as fresh and un-
faded as if made but yesterday with the best
India ink. The chirography is so perfect
that casual glance would give the idea that
it was engraved. The beginning ofeach para
graph has one of those elaborate capitals such
as are sometimes seen in the old monkish
transcriptions of the Scriptures. The four
sheets or skins are connected at the top by
eyelet holes Of a size sufficient to allow a
broad, dark colored ribbon (probablv purple
originally being passed through them, the
loose ends being brought together and sealed
by seal of yellow wax, bearing the impress
Of the Great Seal of the Kingdom Of Holland.
This seal is not affixed to the documents in
the present fashion, but is only connected
herewith by the ribbons, and swinging loose.
The size and general appearance of this seal
is very much like that Of medium-sized ball
of deep, yellow butter. The whole documen mt
is rolled upon a stick of dark wood, and de-
posted in box of stamped Spanish leather.
This document is now likely to come into
public notice again, after having lain away
out of human knowledge almost for many gen.
erations, through the agitation among the
heirs.
A word of caution to these heirs in pros
pective may not be amiss-tO look out sharp
" as to who their ancestors were before they
spend much time or money in looking up his
estate. [-Po,fiand Advertiser.

THE BOSTON GLOBE FALSEHOODS

refutations by Mr.. Long and Mr.. Blaine, OF
the charges made against them in the recent
article on the Maine election, in the Boston
Globe, as follows:
BosToN, November 3. Messrs. John ID.
Long and James G. Blaine publish the fol-
lowing in refutation of the charges made
against them in the Boston Globe
my attention is called to an article in to-
days Globe, imputing to me the authorship
of letter published in the Maine Democrat
in the war of go, and signed j. ID. l.. new
er wrote that letter or any other to the Maine
Democrat, and the statement that did so is
false. JOHN ID. Lone.
The following was sent to the Globe yester-
day, but was refused insertion:
To the Editors of the Globe, Boston: In
your issue of to-day your Maine correspon-
dent quotes the following letter as having
been written by me during the late political
campaign:
"See every man in your district and find
out how he is going to vote. If he is re-
publican and weak kneed see what will
strengthen him. If he is democrat or
greenbacker see what will induce him to vote
with us. Make up a statement of amount of
money which you will need for all expenses
and forward at once
(Signed) JAMES G. BLAINE.
Permit me to state that your correspondent
has either been deceived himself. or is at
tempting to deceive the public. l never
wrote such a letter to any one, nor was any
such letter circulated by my authority or
within my knowledge. 1t is simply for
gerry, and it may be well for you to inquire
who is the forger. Very respectfully,

1.,thorr.ph,c stone Company.

We are able to present this morning fuller
particulars regarding the company which will
soon organize in this city, for quarrying lith-
ograph stone. The quarry referred to is in
Harvey, Province of Ontario, Canada West.
About year ago Mr.. J. p. Wyman first
learned of this rich deposit of stone, and
made some inquiries regarding it, but it was
not till May of this year that he visited the
place, and then 1t was in company with one
or two other gentlemen who will be members
of the company. The stone was tested and
found to be of q splendid quality. The quar-
ry was opened in August, and was worked
till about the FIRST Of October, some twenty
tons being taken out. The stone has since
been more thoroughly tested, both in the Riv-
erside Press establishment, at Cambridge
Mass, and in New York, and is pronounced
to be equal to the best stone of the kind in
the world. This photographic stone all comes
from Germany, and is all under the control
of one company. Several quarries have
been found in the United States, but on trial
have proved failures. This stone is very
valuable, single fine stone costing as much
as $500.
This Canada deposit forms a sort of bluff
on the borders Of lake, aud so can be easily
quarried. From the quarry it can be sent
across the lake to Lakefcld, where there is a
railroad by which it can be shipped to Bos-
ton, or there is cheaper way, by which it
may be sent on to New York. This quarry
has been in the possession of two men, and
they were once offered $4,000 for it, by an
Engli.h company. But Mr.. Wyman now has
the grant of option of the property, so that
the company can purchase it if they care to.
The gentlemen who have agreed to become
members of the company are, beside Mr..
