The romantic tale Of the schooner
Florinda, If true, surpasses the widest
daeam OF thenovelist. In lSi9, the
Florinda sailed from New Orleans,
bound to California, and was never
again heard of until short time ago,
when an English vessel brought back
the news that she had been wrecked
on one Of the mfrequented islands OF
the Pacilic, where her crew had lived
ever since. The strangest part OF the
history is that the unfortunate men re-
fused TO come home. True to a heroic
ideal, they remained ON the island.
They said there was no indictment
for them TO return. They were dead to
the world, their friends had forgotten
them, their wives had remarked, their
children grown up, every bond that
united them to the great mass OF man
KIND was severed, and they wished to
remain and die where they were. The
English visitors soon left them, aud
they had their own way about staying.
The story Is extremely Improbable. II
Is not nc all likely that number of
active, enterprislngmen, most of them
Americans, would remain on an island
FOR more than twenty-five years with
out devising some means ofgetting of,
or OF having somebody else yet them
off. The additional circumstance OF
their nnwilinguess to return IL un-
encouragement against the probability

A Dukc TO Marry an American Girl.

We learn that the Dowager Duchess
of Montrosc has sent an agent TO the
United States to procure authentic in
formation respecting the estate of the
late Mr.. ParrAn Stevens, the former
landlord of the Revere House in Bos-
ton, and the Fifth Avenue Hotel in
this city. The Duchess wishes to Az
certain what is really the solid value
Of the fortune left 10y Mr. Stevens, and
in what kinds of property it consists.
This knowledge Is sought, OF course,
with n view of coming to an intellect
ual conclusion respecting the policy of
matrimonial alliance between the
family Of Montrose and the family of
Stevens. 1t il well known in society
TINT the present Duke OF Montrose has
for some time past been deeply sensi-

probability Of an engagement between
them.
Douglas Beresford Malise Ronald
Graham, fifth Duke of Moutrose, was
born in 1852, and is now twenty-three
pears old. He Is nice, well-looking
young fellow, but in reduced clrcum

marriage would make him much rich

mate the aggregate vote, covered by

about 0ne.siXth Of that total number
voted for Convention. Nevertheless
tile Governor IL expected To construe
the vote Of this small minority into
the express desire and demand OF the
majority of the people to have Con-
Vention. He might well feel embar-
rassed 10y such an emergency. And
the delegates when called into assem-

representative capacity with respect to
the great body of the people. such

The Flood In Missouri, Illinois and

From the Globe Dcmocrat.l

From the Globe Democrat
Reports Of ruin and devastation by
the recent terrible rains reach ny rom
all quartera. Missouri and her two
sister States of Illinois and Indiana
have been great sufferers. Fields,
with growing crops or grain in the
shock, have been flooded, and the
hopes OF the farmers swept away !;
bridges over streams along the high
ways have been rent asunder, and the
timbers scattered far and near and
innumerable bridges and culverts, de-
signed to firmly support the iron rail
and facilitate travel and commerce,
have been disintegrated and carried off
by the angry flood The damage
cannot be estimated. While IL in inn
mense, n vast proportion of il is ire
parable, The mighty river is "boom-
ing" and swelling hourly, and the
people along It's banks from Cairo to
the Balize cannot reasonably hope to
escape u consequent suffering and loss.
Accounts from below are to the effect
that they are making such prepara-
lions as nre possible to prevent the
threatened destruction.
