Trying - It will be to the French to
meet the demands Of their victorious enc.
mics, they can hardly be called upon for
sacrifices 30 great as they were compelled
to make in payment for the hundred days
Empire they permitted to the First Napo-
Icon In 1875 Then armies were put in mo.
tion which outnumbered even the hosts Of
Germans who are swarming in and toward
France now, and all Europe, from the Ural
mountains to the Atlantic, was filed with
camps. For that three months enthusiasm,
France paid down 1855, ,00o, 900 francs,
maintained 150, 900 of her enemies for three
years in hcr territories, and when they left,
commuted the cost for supporting them
for two years more At 2c5, 900 francs. The
money cost Of her defeat was at the lowest
calculation 1900, ,ooo. 900 francs, or e44o.:
00o, 900 in gold, besides tho expenses of her
own troops and preparations. If there IL

The Last Duel tn Ohio.
From the Toledo Commercial.


The recent death of Alexander Simpson,
ESQ, of Cincinnati, formerly law partner
of the late Gen. s. ]. McGroarty. has call
ed up an incident which occurred in 1856.
At that time Mr.. Simpson was living as
Fosters Crossing, Warren county. He vas
man Of considerable natural ability and fine
attachments, but had temper which some
times got beyond his control One evening
he had . difficulty with . ncighbor, .
Scotchman. To the utter establishment Of
the latter, Mr.. 8. proposed IN immediate
affair Of honor, with pistols, In front of his
house, his ;SimpsOn's) servant to hold the
light by which the parties were 70 fire. Al
though astonished At the rash proposal, the
6cotchmsn accepted the terms, and took
one Of brace of pistols which Mr.. 8. gave
him. The distance was measured OF, word
given and both parties nred. The Scotch
man was untouched, but his BAH went thro'
tho upper portion Of simpson's skull and
tho latter fell, - Il was supposed, mortslly
wounded. The scotchman considered him
selt In danger, aed, and has never since
been heard from Simpson recovered, 70
moved 70 Cincinnati, engaged In tho NV
practice, and won success and numesous
friends. This, we believe, was tho last duel
fought In OHIO, and II remarkable charac-
tee makes Il N incident worthy Of note.

FIRE AT ANDALusIA.-It is reported that
Andalusia had FIRE yesterday morning. but
not having seen any one from there, we are
unable to give-full particulars. The house
of MIR. Robert Babcock was found to be in
flames about three o'clock in the morning,
and in a little while the whole was consumed.
The family, consisting of several persons,
escaped without injury, and some Of the fur
ni,ure was saved. 1t was thought that the
fire was started by sparks from the steamer
New Boston. which had just landed there,
but this conjecture is not by any means to
be assigned positively as the cause a stove
was removed from the business house, leav-
ing no indications of having had FIRE in il
very recently. The loss is certainly $500
or $500, and there is an insurance ofaboui
$500. The incident, of course caused q good
deal OF stir in the village, and elected much
sympathy for those who had been so uncer-
moniously turned out of doors.
