Washington, Jannury 17. The United States consul at Amsterdam recently re ported that an effort was made to induce citizens of that country to emigrate to Florida, by representing that each emi grant depositing one hundred and fil'ty IKiunds would be given ten acres of rich lorida land, together with implements lor cultivation and would be given board and lodging free for one year. The mat ter was rtMirtcd to the treasury depart ment, and Secretary Windum has written the state department suggesting that while such immigrants would not lie pro hibited from landing, it would be well for the consul to advise the ieople to move cautiously in the matter, and to correspond with the governor of Florida before taking any decisive action, HonorltiK Henry W.

The water is rapidly spreading over the bottom lands, and tiiose who have not already Iieen driven from their homes by the rising waters, are removing their families and stock. A great amount of corn has been de stroyed, mid farmers having grain it is in great danger of being washed away. Lnlxircrs are placing it above the high water. The prospects now arc that the water will reach a much greater height than nt any time since the flood of 1850. The situation is anything but encourag ing. Officers of the steamer Illue Wing from Calhoun, which arrived here lust night, repott tlie river rising nt n rate ol two inches par hour. Hundreds ot fami lies have Ixx-n driven Irom their homes, and ninny nf them arc living in churches and school houses. Frederick DoukIunh In Havtl. I'itulmrKh Dlapiitcn. As to the objections of the Hnytians to Minister Douglass, I'rof. Lnngstnn said: "1 don't think there can be any objection raised to him on ilmt ground nor on the grountl of his having n white wife. Not a tew of the most noted people of the island arc blacks who have white wives, and this was the case of the late Presi dent Salomon. I once heard Salomon make a Scccli defending himself against the charge that he was opposed to the mulnttoes. 11c said: "I am n black man myself and my wife is n white French woman and my Vice-President is a llny tian ns white as any Caucasian. 1 chal lenge nnyliody 'n ry that I have any feeling against any he nn account ol his color. "I don't know that Minister Douglass is unpopular in Ilayti," continued Min ister Langston, "but if he is suit is be cause the Huytinns are very jealous in regard to tne annexation or sale nt any part of their island to the I'nited Stales, and they mny nssncintc Douglass with such schemes. He was scut to Santo Do mingo, with lien Wndc mid other Ameri can statesmen, to report as to the advis ability of its unncxutioti. He now goes back .o tne country on n war vessel, and his secretary, Mr. Bassctt, was consul at New York in the imv of the party which is now out nf power in Ilayti. It may- lie that the Haytians Icnr Douglass; I no not know." It In Very Aristocratic. New York Bun. The influenxn has Iieen somewhat dig nified in the eyes of the public hv the re cent discovery that Schiller had it mid Goethe wrote about it. In May, 1782, Schiller went tn Mannheim to sec the second presentation of his "RoIiIkts" on the stage. I.a gripjie was then making half Mannheim sneeze mid groan. After attending one ierlnnnauce of his tragedy seluller hurried on to htultgart in the hope of escaping the epidemic. The day after his arrival there he wrote to Dai- berg, manager of the Mannheim Theatre: "Since coming here I have more than pnid for all my pleasure with you by my sunerings irom tue nomine epidemic, which, to my unutterable disgust, has rendered me incapable of work." At nlHitit the same time Goethe was com plaining in a letter to the Duke Karl Au gust that the "unusually warm weather had become a standard topic ol conversa tion, just as was the influenza n short time ago." The great Kant dignified the grip by trying to investigate its causes. He surmised that the insects which were responsible for it had becnimportcd from China to Russia, whence they had spread to the western part of the continent. Mare About the Boyle Case. Rai.kioii, Jnnuary 10. The supreme court to-day filed an opinion in the nota ble capital case nf J.J. Iloyle, a priest of the Koman Cntlumc church, who was convicted of rnie upon Geneva Whitnkcr, a young girl who was the organist at his church. The opinion is by Chief Jus tice Mcrrimnn, and gives Doyle o new trial. The court holds that there was an error in the Judge's charge in the suK'rior court in failing to sufficiently and plainly state the evidence given and explain the law arising thereon. The Judge should have called the jurv's at tention io i ne evidence ns to tne place where the alleged rmie was committed and the presence of iersons near the house who heard no outcry from the girl, and the fact thnt afterward she joined her companions without telling them snc had Dccn outraged.

AFFAIRS IN PORTUGAL. THE PRESS ADVIHEa PRl'U- ENCE and moueration. Has England violated the Ber lin Treaty rHympathv of the Republicans Realdent EnallHh Appeal to Lord Hallnbury. Lisiion, January 17. The Scculo pub lished to-day an unsigned manifesto beaded, "the directory of the Portuguese republicans to the nation." It denounces vociferously England's ultimatum and advocates the republican federation of the Latin nations and the adhesion of Portugal to such a federation. It de clares that the movement tor the federa tion of the Latin republics is steadily making great progress, and that the mrcc ol that movement is seen and lelt in the revolution in Drnr.il. The manilesto does not advocate a revolution in Portugal at the present moment, and is moderate m tone through out, except nstothrdeniinciatinnof ling. land's action. All papers, republicans us well ns others, advise prudence and moderation in the present crisis. The extravagances nt school hoys in street demonstrations seem to have oH-ned the eyes of the men of the country to the folly and danger ol that way ol treating tlie'intcriiatiunn! difficulties. Paris, January 17. The Figaro says that Portugal has complained to Prince Bismarck thnt Great Hritinn has violated the Derlin treaty. She, therefore, asks that a conference lie convened to discuss African affairs. Liiison, January 17.

Thefcelingtownrd England is bitter. Many English employes of thr Portuguese houses have Ix-cn discharged. Madrid, Junnnrv 17. The proposed public meeting to be held in this city on Sunday by the republicans for the" pur pose of expressing sympathy with the Portuguese in their dispute with England has been abandoned.

Millet's "Augclus," which hns created great interest in art circles in New York lor many wtx-ks past, has Iieen sent to Chicago for exhibition. We suspect that the cost of the little piece $ 1 20,000 with n duty of $30,000 added had more to do with the interest excited than its intrinsic merit. It would huvesenrety otherwise have Iieen deemed, in the eyes of thousands who crowded to see it, more meritorious than a fifty cent chronic) of the same size. The Masonic fraternity is much ex cited in the circles near the scene of the fatality nt the death of the Rev. W. P.

Dut Williams leaned over a steam radiator tn reach the wire, mid formed a complete circuit. A piteous shriek and a blue smoke told the story. The victim was dead in ten minutes. All the steamships arriving lately in New York after prolonged voyages re port uncommonly temx'tuous weather, and what apienrs strange to landsmen who were at the same time wondering nt the continued warm weather on shore, every one of these ships report excessive cold, one reporting a fall of 18" below zero.

CRAVED BV RICKNEWi. A Woman Hhoota Her Children and Attempt Mulclde; Kairbault, Minn., January 17. One of the most shocking tragedies that ever occurred in this county took place this morning at the residence of James Mc Neil, Jr , near Cannon lake. McNeil arose uuout Ii o clock und went into the kitchen to build a fire. As soon an he had gone his wife locked the door, and taking a revolver from the bureau drawer, shot three of her children. McNeil heard the shots, nnd tried to get to the bedroom, hut could not gel in. He then started around the house and went in the front door, and met his wife earning from the kitchen, where she hud chased the oldest child and ninde her take carbolic acid and took some herself. The little girl evidently struggled with her mother, as her face and hands were covered with the acid. One child was killed instantly, and one died about 10 o'clixrk this morn ing. The baby, three weeks old, was shot through both lungs, hut at last re ports was still alive. The woman and the girl to whom she gave the acid are also alive, and may live. Mrs. McNeil gives us a reason for the deed that she was sick mid had no 1uiks of getting well, und wanted to end her sufferings at once.

Last Wed nesday, a man claiming to be a detective, hired a horse and buggy at Craver't livery stable, promising to return with it the same day. He forgot all about the promise, and when lust heard from was in Rowan county, going no one knows where. The horse and buggy have not been recovered at this writing. Morguntnn Herald: A great deal of gold from different placer mines in the county is brought every week to the Piedmont Dunk. On the Hawkins place belonging to a negro, and lying just out side the town limits on the Lenoir road gold has been found for many years. Old Tom Hawkins made a living for years by taking the top soil from his gar den to the brunch near by and panning out the gold in the most primitive way. It is thought by ninny that there are large gold deposits in that hxality. TliK Asiikvii.i.k Citizkn mention's the death of John Anderson, nsnn old Scotch man who lived at Drindletown in this county Ix-fore the war. A gentleman here recalls the fact that John was a strong unionist when the war broke out nnd that he was very unsparing in his denunciations of the secessionists. His violent language came near causing him to lose his life in Morgmiton at one time. when a lurtotis crowd m men would have mohlicd him il it had not been lor the timely intervention of Col. Rolicrt Pear son und Governor Caldwell. He always said he owed his lile lo these men. The old man died in u charitable institution in Asheville nt the ngc ol MM.

In England the etlitor of a nrwspnier hns no such interesting iersnnnlity as he hns here. No mntter what the influence or circulation of a journal, the name of the editor is rarely naked lor. The two notable exceptions, who Drove this rule. are Sir Edwin Arnold, of the Daily Tele graph, and W. T. Stead, of the Pall Mall Gazette. Of these two, Stead is by far the more notorious, for he has the more striking and eccentric ersonality. The Pull Mali Gnzettcis the one sensational daily nf London, and many sensation nns it maae. une 01 them landed Stead in prison end fame. Ellis Island in New York harbor mny possibly be elected as the place for the use of the emigration commissioners, in stead of Castle Garden, now used for that purpose. MISCELLANEOUS. Of Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, Apothecary, 4 South Main St. The Old Year hus drawn to a close, nml with the beginning of the New Year we wish to thank the public fur their patronage mid recognition of our efforts to do our full duty. We are fully con scious that it is to them that we owe the unexpected success of tlie past year, in which our business hns been more than doubled, and we can only regard it as a new evhlencc that our business maxims nicsuch as to cause our customers to have confidence in us and attract tiiose who are cautious in dealing with any Pharmacist until they have become fully assured of the nature and extent of his business principles. In out denting with the public we realize that the most scru pulous care nnd honesty arc paramount in importance. If these are virtues in all ordinary business transactions, they become sacred duties in Pharmacy, and without them no one can lie a true Phar macist. The health, maybe the life, ot those dealing with the Apothecary de- lends upon them, lie consider it our most sncrcd duty to shun adulterations and spoiled as well as inferior drugs. They constitute un evil from whichPhnr macy sutlers no less than the public. The evil is not a new one, inaugurated in late years; it has existed as long as there were men whose cupidity was stronger than their sense of justice, and it will doubtless continue as long as there may lie men with conceptions of business so vague that they expect to purchase gold for the money value of dross. Tliere are no other moral principles required for transacting a Pharmaceutical business than are necessary foranv other business. Unwavering integrity that remains uniih tluenced by tlie visions of gold along the road of nucstionuldc or deceitful prac tices is the only foundation for success that is worthy the name; it is so in even- pursuit, and more particularly in Pharmacy, whereas a matter of neces- sitv it must lie combined with constant vigilance in nil directions, so as to secure all possible safeguards. These are the principles which we have endeavored to live up to, and to which we trust our increasing success is due. W'e Aoie our former pat ions will show the same kindness towmd us in the fu ture that they have in the past, knowing that no action ol ours will ever make them regret a continuance ol tlieir fa vors.
