Teresa Carreno has finished her musical campaign in Havana, and will leave for New York in a few days, on her way, I understand, to Europe. I think the child ought to be sent to school. She is too young to be exhibited much, and there will be generated in her such a dislike for a life so unsuited to a child that when she is older nothing will induce her to go upon the stage. Her last concert here was very successful, and she leaves us crowned with flowers and loaded with presents and good wishes.
