BEATEN AT HIS Own GAMEs-A story
is told of man who insured in Lon.

fire and water. After the lapse of six
months he made his appearance at the
insurance Office and demanded his
money as the cigars had all been
burned" But not on board the vessel
sir" said the secretary, for she is in
dock now" "Yes, on board the YES.
sci; l smoked them, and therefore
burned them myself, and the insur,
ance says against fire." The secretary
seemed taken aback, but told the
smoker to call agaiu next day. He
called at the appointed time, but was
met by the solicitor OF the company,
who told him if he did not relnquish
his claim he would be prosecuted as
one who knowingly and willingly set
fire to goods insuredby the company.

FRENCH OPINION OF PRESIDENT JOHN.
soN.-The Paris Constitutional writes
in favor of President Johnson's policy
of conciliation. Noticing his speech
to the southern delegates, it says.
After discourse as conciliatory as
pacific, the hour of unreserved elem.
ency has arrived, and under penalty
of regretablo contradiction, the sym
pathetic words of the President can.
not fail to translate themselves in acts.
This will be, without doubt, q most
happy surprisej but America is an as
tonishing nation, where the most pro,
found transformations take place as
if by enchantmcnt. In single day
this eminently practical people is
stricken with madness and precipi.
tates itself into all the horrors of o
civil war; the strife ceases, and in>
stead of all the excuses of reaction
it disbands its armies, reassumes again
its peaceful occupations, and begins
talking all of sudden the language
OF, reasonable people. Its statesmen
check themselves in their road to use.
less vengeance, and know how TO en-
ploy, in their selfsacrifce, the gen.
orous words, which, far better than
mere force, disarm their enemies and
appease their hatred.

A GREAT MAN,-The State Journal
thus desribes one Of the movers in the
repeal of the Specific Contract Law in
this State:
1t is now quite certain that Oregon
has at least one remarkable man. His
talent is represented as being of very
high order, 80 high that it is above the
comprehension of other men, and his
honesty is 80 puro and transparent
that it can't be seen with the naked
oye. AS an officer of the Agricultural
Society, he distinguished himself. AS
member of the Legislature, he be-
came the author of" many bills," and
introduced all his private writings and
compositions into laws, and had them
printed at the expense of the State.
1t is rumored that his very large and
queer tum tuna, combined with an ex.
panding, gumolastc sort of conscience
would not allow him to vote for law
which he was afraid would damage
the national finances" but did not pre-
vent him from F" damaging the fnan-
ces" of his neighbors, by defrauding
them out of about one half the amount
he owed them.
