The gradual emancipation of the slaves
in BRAZIL has not only permitted the soun-
try to prepare itself for the adoption OF
free labor, bat its influence on immigra-
ton has also been most marked. From
1864 to 1872 the average yearly number OF
immigrants was under 5000. In 1872 a
law was passed in favor of gradual eman-
cipation, and from that date to 1879 the
immigrants averaged very nearly $4,000
annually almost three times the average
before the enactment. The next two years
showed nearly the same results; but then a
notable increase was observed and from
the 1st of January to the 31st of Decem-
Der, 1881, 1874 immigrants landed in
Brazil.

LATE MINNEAPOLIS NEWS.

At midnight some one on North First
street started the cry of "Fire" For sew
eral moments it was echoed up and down
the street before any one had presence of
mind enough to turn IN the alarm. The
department responded with alacrity, and
was on the grounds. The fire started in a
two-story wooden building at No. l15
North First street. 1t was owned and oc-
cupied by Casper Himmelbach. Tie
ground floor was devoted to the furniture,
upholstery and undertaking business,
while the proprietor lived in the second
story. The family we're away
at the time participating in
the festivities of masquerade ball
at Harmonic hall. The building was dry
as finder, and the flames spread with such
rapidity that nothing could be saved.
After having attached the hose to hydrants
no water could be turned on. The hydrants
were probably frozen up. The new Amos
keag steamer, however, had stream play
ing on the fire, doing effective work, and
No. steamer soon followed. Mr.. Him
melbach was found, but the bal-masque
had proven too much for him, and his sons

clear account of values, but estimated
the building, which is total loss, at $4,000,
and the stock at $4,000, with an insurance
of 1880 on the house and $4,000 on the
stock, but the others are of the opinion
that the value of the stock would be entire
ly covered with that amount of insurance
The fire communicated with the next adj
joining building, at III North First street
owned by Mr.. Witt, who lives outside the
city, but was quickly extinguished by the
chemical engine with damage of about
$50. The building was occupied by Albert
Semp as butcher shop, on the
first floor, and residence in the second
story. His household goods were all re-
moved before the fire reached the build
ing, and much of his stock of meat, also
His loss was all occasioned by breakage OF
theft, and probably will not exceed $500
upon which he held $1,000 insurance

which was unoccupied,w damaged to the
extent of $50.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-The course of true love
ran very smoothly in the case of George
Mcclure, until he lost his head. The young
man, who is a genteel, dapper-looking fell
low, about twenty five years of age, living
on Congress street, near Rockwell, was
brought before Justice Walsh this morning,
disorderly conduct being the charge pre-
ferred against him. Mr.. James Marshall,
of 500 Warren avenue, well known bust
ness man, was the complainant. Mr.. Mar
shall said the young man had been en-
gagged to his daughter, but
of late he had given such
unmistakable evidences of mental aber-
ration that he had been compelled to for
bid him to visit his home. Last night
Mcclure came to the house in state of
frenzied excitement and threatened vio-
lence, when he called the patrol wagon,
which bore the rejected lover to the West
Madison street station. Mr.. Marshall says
the demented young man wrote long let
ter to his daughter in which he maligned
and abused him (MarshalD and threatened
to fire the house. McGuire's brother was
present and corroborated Mr.. Marshall's
statement, saying his brothers
conduct had been extremely
eccentric for several years. A wild, re-
vengeful CLEAN was in the defendants eye
when he was called upon to tell his side OF
the case. With tragic earnestness he ex-
claimed: Il loved his daughter, and loved
