The telegraph informs us that Germany
demands the enormous sum of FIVE thous-
snd millions of francs-nearly one hun
dred thousand millions of dollars-in
gold, as war indemnity from France
and this large sum of money is In addi-
tion to the territory taken from France.
In other words, in addition to the terri
tories of Alsace and Lorraine, Germany
demands that France pay her in gold one
thousand millions of dollars, granting her
three years time in which to make the
payment, Germany in the meantime hold

BRAVERY OF A WoMAN.-The Carlile
(Ky.) Mercury tells this story "On the
Friday before Christmas Miss Smedley,
of this county, performed an act which
for female heroism is worthy of special
mention. She was teaching school near
Pleasant Valley on the other side of Lick
ing, while her residence is on this side of
the river On Friday she started for
home as was her custom, and when she
reached Parks ferry found the river full
of floating ice. The ferryman deeming
it unsafe to take his boat across the river,
our heroine had one of two things to do
swim her horse across the river and brave
the dangers, or remain away from home
and relatives. DESTROYS of getting home
that afternoon, she determined to cross
the river. Putting whip to the horse,
she started across. The large heavy cakes
of ice came thick and fast down the rap
id current of the swollen river, yet the
faithful horse and gallant rider held their
own and finally succeeded in gaining this
side of the river It was dangerous
undertaking, and one that very few men
even would have attempted.

a Coop SroRY-The Oregonian is
furnished with little incident in the
life of one of the recently appointed offi-
GERS on the Governors staff, which doubt
less caused his selection by the Gov. for
the important position-that of Aid de-
Camp, with the high rank of Lieutenant
Colonel. The..ifcident referred to occur
red in 1859 or 1860, and is thus related ::
A man named Bill Shirley was placed
in Jail at Eugene City, ou some criminal
associates resolved to take charge Of the
accused, proceeded to the Jail and, by
some means, effected an entrance for the
purpose of lynching him. The prisoner,
who was armed with only broken bladed
pocket knife, showed fight. cutting three
of his assailants severely but not seriously.
The 1t. Colonel supposed himself to be
mortally wounded by stab in the abdo-
men. A physician arrived to whom the
sufferer declared that he felt ssclotted
blood" running into his boots, and with
rare enthusiasm and kindled pride, said !:
"Tell my wife, Doctor,-tell her, God
bless her, thatI died like Blucher !"
An examination, however, happily re-
yealed the fact that no wound had been
Inflicted. The incident has its moral ];
for it shows just how the Lit. Colonel
would have died, had he not been mista-
ken about the aclotted blood" Doubt
less the Coils fellow staff officers have
each manifested ar equal amount of an
cient hcroism at some period in their lives,
which entities them to their recent hon
ors.

HEART DIsEAsE.-As this disease is
somewhat prevalent on this coast we give
few hints with regard to its proper
treatment, given by prominent medical
gentleman, which it will be well to re.
member. He says:
Those who are predisposed to heart
disease. need not give up the ship but
for all of it may expect to live to good
old age, if they will avoid violent exer-
else, stimulating food and drink, excite.
ment, worry, eating SO much as to get fat
and thinking about their heart. This is
not the only secret contained in his ex,
cellent advice, which is the handspring Of
enjoying life as well as proionging it. L
we would live in the sunshine, we mus
keep the clouds of dependency and un
usual excitement away from our sou
atmosphere.

1t seems that little diHereuee OF

A difference of opinion between one of

Governor Haight, was the cause of a
wordy passage-at- arms between these two
gentlemen last evening, which it was the

hear. It took place Immediately after

than half a mind to resign and give you
an opportunity to appoint Jim Reynolds
IN my place.
Haighs-If you class Curtis and Rey-
nolds together, Mr.. Lent, you do Mr..
Curtis great injustice.
Lent do not intend any disrespect
20 Mr.. Curtis, sir; my remarks to you
have purely personal application.
The Governor turned to go away, bu.
