BIsMARK--In recent article we allud-
ed to the extortionate character of the de-.
mands made by the representative Of Prus-
STA upon France. In the results of this
conflict with Germany, the position of
France is wellexpressed iu the lines Of the
poet, Campbell, with reference to Poland,
in her struggle with Russia:
Found not friend, plying foe,
Strength in her arms, or mercy in her VICE."
From the statement in an English paper,
the Weekly Dispatch, it appears that the
amount demanded BY Prussia from France
is the enormous sum of two hundred mil
lions of pounds sterling, or ten hundred
millions Of dollars, which does not include
the charge of the army Of occupation as
guarantees Of security for payment. From
this immense amount there IL only one item
for deduction, the value of Imperial rail-
ways. The French Government, to meet
this demand, will issue convertible notes,
in other words greenbacks. The above
amount, if represented by our 6ve-dollar
gold pieces, would be enough to pave over
nineteen acres, and piled one upon another
would reach above 1877 miles. If Prussia
can manage to extract this amount from
France, it will show that going to war is
the most profitable Of all pursuits.

He may be found.

KALAMA-TY, SURE ENoUGu.-A pri-
vate letter from kalama to the Victoria
Colonist says -" The river bottom is all
under water. Such a sight I never saw.
They use the cars for walk, and they
are nearly covered with water. In some
of the houses the water is up to the win.
dows. In Second street the water is eight
feet deep about 400 feet back from the
river. So you see it is lively times here
tying up the small houses and moving up
stairs in the larger ones. All work has
been stopped on the railroad and there is
not any show to do anything. I do not
want to try this country much longer"

% The Tribune says that the North
Pacific was "fully twenty-five minutes
ahead Of the Olympia at Port Ludlow"
It is conceded that the Olympia gained on
her rival and overhauled her at Port Mad
ison, in a distance Of only thirty miles.
Why didn't our veracious contemporary
state this fact? And why did it misstate
the time Of the two boats in crossing the
straits?

THE NORTH PAcrFIc.-By invitation
of Messrs. Starr, owners of the new steam.
er NorM Pacific, on Monday and Tuesday
Of the present week we made the round
trip to and from Victoria. This being the
first trip of the new steamer since her
arrival from San Francisco, expectation
ran high between the friends of the new
steamer and its elegant and fast rival, the
Olympia, heretofore the pride of the
Sound without a rival or peer. Expect
ing trial of speed between the rival
steamers on this occasion, large number
Of persons took passage on each and con-
siderable sums we're wagered, the odds
being all against the new ship, the owners
of which we're very DESTROYS Of postponing
the contest until the machinery was 10

moro familiar with its capacity and man.
agcment; but they were not permitted to
choose their time. The Olympia waited
more than three hours in Victoria beyond
its advertised time of leaving, to give
chase to the North Pacific, and followed
the latter Immediately out of the harbor,
the distance between the two being not
over mile on entering the Straits to
the surprise Of nearly everybody familiar
with the matter, the gap was widened to
about three miles when the North Pacific
reached tho wharf at Port Townsend, thus
fully meeting the expectations of its own.
ers, who had spared no expense in build
ing steamer which they intended should
be the full equal of the Olympia in ele-
gauce and speed; and this design has
been carried out in all its appointments;
nothing has been spared which would con.
tribute to the comfort and convenience of
passengers: luxuriously furnished saloons,
clean and comfortable state. rooms, one Of
the most experienced stewards on the
coast, an unrivalled cook, and an elegant
bar supplied with the choicest wines, Ii.
quors and cigars.
With two such steamers as the North
Pacific and the Olympia on this route,
SO nearly matched in every attractive
quality to passengers, tho pity is that their
several owners should be possessed of the
insane idea that either could ever secure a
monopoly of the trade by running the
other of. The sooner they come to a mu.
tual arrangement to divide the business at
reasonable rates, the better for the owners
and the better for all persons interested on
the line.

We regret that the effort made last week

unsuccessful Such effort, to promote gen.
cral information, should receive the hearth

tons, which have arisen from the prompt
ings of philanthropy, and which now form
so prominent figure in our cities-werc
altogether unknown. All honor to those
who take prominent action in such good
work Trustworthy as is the beginning of
this Tacoma Library, it must be admitted
that its present position is lamentably in.
adequate to the requirements of our city.
Iftrue with regard to our adult population,
more especially is it applicable in relation
to our youth, just merging from school
study. 1t is altogether idle to congratu-
late ourselves upon our excellent school
arrangements, ifwhen the foundation has
been laid, no opportunity is afforded for
obtaining additional material from which
to rear supcrstructure. The facilities
for being thus supplied from public Ii.
brary should follow as natural sequence
to the instruction of our common schools.
10 this inquiring age, to be shut out
from communion with the great minds Of
distinguished men, is a great privation.
If not disposed to initiate new movement
to meet present demands, let us rally
around and build up Tacoma Library. In
the absence of judiciously supplied infor-

as is found in the Police Gazette, the Day's

themselves as to be continually furnishing
such matter for their readers. The Ibid

ally exhibited, with the remarks following,
arc positive insult to our better nature.
If it be true that man becomes what he
contemplates, such qualification would nat
urally lead to sensual and Ii centious indul.
gence. In this age of general enlighten-
ment, of railways and telegraphs, to be
equal to the pcriod, the mind must be stored
with very different knowledge.
Let us hope that our future will contin-

of supplying our present intellectual re-
quirements, and that continually there will
be afforded increased facilities for intro
duction to the master minds of the age.
