The Herald' $ Ver sailles special of tho 28th says : As the facts concerning negotiations develop, a better feeling is evident among both French and Germans, and all begin to agree in hoping for the termination, of the war. The French are especially wellTplewed at he apparent modification of the German desire to humiliate Paris by a triumphant entry into the .capital. The negotiations between Favre ami Bis marck are most interesting. The arrival of Favre was known Iby no one except those immediately concerned in conducting biin through the lines. On his arrival he was immediately admitted to tbe presence of the Chancellor, who asked : " What is the object of this visit T" Favre, much af- f .-cted, replied : " To put a stop to the drea Iful suffering ia Paris. Now that hope fur relief without is lost, Paris niuyt seek peace. All we askis such consideration as a generous enemy might give, without ioss of advantage or honors." Bismarck ex pressed a desire to do all in bis power to show bis respect for the suffering and the gallantry of tbe French nation con sistent with the safety, honor and inter est of united Germany. Tbis has been, from first to lat, the ohject of the Em peror and his adviser since the commence ment of tbis unhappy war forced npon them. Favre first demanded the tertns al ready reported. Bismarck replied that it was. not his province to rifnteor accept Farre's terms, but mti?t say that the terms were such that be eould not himself approve of them, and felt confident that bis august master would reject tbem. However, it was his duty to submit tbem for his consid- eration. Favre was politely but strictly placed under surveillance. Tbe first over- turos were promptly rejected. After Favre's j return, and . tbe acceptance pn substance of j tbe terms demanded by the Emperor, great excitement prevailed at Versailles. An in terview took place between Bismarck and Favre. The former afterwards waited on the King and Council, wbea Favre's ac ceptance on the part of the Provisional Government was submitted. Rumors are current that Vou Molke is greatly dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's army on tbe occasion of the sortie of the 9th. He thinks ground was lost unneces sarily, and expressed his opinion openly. There is a growing coolness between the Crown Prince and Commander-in-Chief in consequence. Bismarck leaves France af tri meetiug the Assembly at Bordeaux. An early return of tbe Emperor William is expected. The report of his return on next Tuesday is unauthorized. Tbe National Guards and Gens d'Arms remain underarms, as a police. All Frano tireurs i are disbanded. A Berlin dispatch says tbe Bonepartists' relations with Bismarck take an important turn. A later dUpatch says there is con sternation at Wilhelmshobe, in consequence of a proposition to call a Constituent As sembly.

Washington, Jan.38 The president to day signed a joint resolution declaratory of the act entitled an act to regulate internal taxes, and for other purposes, approved July 14th. The Senate Committee on Military Af fairs to-day agreed-to report favorably, without amendment, on the House bill providing for tbe sale of 250 or 500 acres of the Presidio at San Francisco and the payment of the compensation to settlers on Point San Joae Reservation. The House Judiciary Committee to-day reported a resolution directing the Attorney General to institute suit in the U. S. .Circuit . Court for California against all claimant to Yerba Buena or Goat Island, to test tot' validity of the Government title o that property, and, if necessary, to carry the ease to the Supreme Court. There wa a fearful exposure in the House yesterday, of the dark ways and corrupt practices of the lobby, and it influence on Congress. The House Appropriation Com mittee last week learned that the Treasury Department was about to pay a draft on its current appropriations by the Postmaster General, for dearly half a million of dol lars, to nay the claim of one George Cear peoning, for ancient mail service, repudia ted by , tho PoetoEce Department fur the last tea yean.

Wrmwrn. Bsvsda. Reno, Jan. 31. About 6:30 p. m. to-day while the Susanville stage was approaching town at a point one and a half miles north, two masked men jumped from behind the sage brush, one clutching the leaders by the head, and covering the driver with a re volver, the other covering the passenger . with pistols in each hand, and calling on all to raise their hands. The driver was then requested" to dismount, when they searched him aud obtained $150 in coin. , Major Eggieston, U, S,, A., was then re quested to. dismount, which be did; the; robbers searched him and found $200 in hi pockets, and leqnested him to remove the' belt around tbe waist, which contained $7,000. The robbers must have known of . tbe fact, and followed him for some dis tance. While they were examining the Major, the driver,' from whom they had taken a revolver, drew a -dorringer, and fired at one of the villains, and undoubted ly hit him in the breast, as he fell to the' ground, afterwards got up and staggered off, firing as be went. , The other robber decamped. Tha report of the pistol caused ' the team to run away. ' They ran a dis tance of half a mile before they! weTe stop peil, when Lieut. Hay and another man proceeded backto (ullow the robbers. Wbea 4bey arrived at tbe oeae qf the encounter, they found tbe Major' beltcontaining the $7,009 and $200 private funds.' ' HoBraaa. Fort Benton, M. T., Jan. 31. Charles B.

When tbe Democratic Inquisitors, were holding their court here, lately, they indulged their curiosity at sundry times, and on diver occasions, ia a manner that would have been exced ingly amcsing if it hadn't . been also highly being at fault for a more ap propriate word we will say contempt able. Tbis being a dull season for items we cannot resist tbe temptation to give an occasional specimen brick from tbe mass of these investigations. Imagine then that air. Morse, late war den at tbe Sate Penitentiary ia giving his testimony before that august tribu nal and that the erudite and ambitious Bonbam, who was evidently practicing as Chief Justice of the Commission to get his band in so aa to assume Boise's robe wben that suit ia decided, is chief inquisitor.. Mr. Morse is asked to state bow many sociables were held at bis house during his wardeoship, and if the ladies aud gentlemen who attended were not fed at the expense of tbe ' State.: De was asked, also, wi;h a ma jestical mien, which only ISonham can assume, and which would look fright ful on any one else, while it only looks silly in biro, if be would be kind enough to state tbe particulars as to tbe presentation of a crimping' iron, while he was Warden, to a lady friend in Yamhill; tbe suspicion being that Morse bad given away, to tbe afore said lady friend in Yamhill, some such contrivance made by oonvict labor, thereby defrauding tbe State of Oregon of said labor. As to tbe sociables, tbe Warden owned np to basing bad at least one, bnt claimed that bis guests did not eat with the convicts, but at bis own! bouse and table, and also at bis own expense. Tbe crimping iron business was not -so easily disposed of, but cross ques tions and reluctant answers brought out the astonishing revelation that tbe crimping iron was presented, bat was given to, not hy, the Morse family. It seems the Warden's family bad a friend over in Yamhill, a blacksmith, wbose leisure time bejudiciously employed in making tbis myste.ions weapon, or in strument, for the Warden's lady. The most dirrct examination failed to show that the Warden's own bair was ever crimped by bis better balf, or that tbe convicts wore their back bair in wavea caused by its nse. So crimping irons were not trumps on that occasion, bnt we suggest that those who bare inter ests in vouchers have a gold one made as a decoration for Bonbam to wear in remembrance of bis astuteness as an inquisitor. .Lastly they remorselessly asked Morse if there was anything else of equal Importance to relate ? . He replied that being on oath be couldn't say no, for tbey bad asked, him so many eon-' temptibls questions that it , was likely there were more equally contemptible still to be asked. He pondered awhile, and then said that convict bad once made his little boy "a toy wheelbar row." He thought awbile longer, and owned np to "a. swing." Imagine, If you can, the horror that seised npon these inquisitors to bear of that toy wheelbarrow and tbis swing. Tho first impulse was to have Morse burned alive, but, as Bonham snggested that de wanted to have a chance at htm af ter be had crowded himself into Boise's rat on tbe Supreme Bench, oat of re spect to Bonbam's wishes be " still lives."

The hUHh ays : , The first ground was broken en the construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad toward Paget Sound from tbe Columbia river, at Kalama on Monday. Several hundred yards were graded the first day. No exciting demonstration wos made, but the employes were quietly to the work.

The latter seems to be a small number of polls sor that eewaty. Some thing is out of the way when poll tax is not collected and the State is damaged to tbe extent of failure to collect. Pt-Bi.ic Library. There will be a meet ing at one o'clock, p. m., to-day, in tbe firemen's room in MooreV block, for the purpose of discussing and if possible, of agreeing upon a plan for establishing a pub lic library and reading room in tbis city. The institntion is designed for tbe benefit of all classes and it is hoped sufficient intt r- cst will be taken in tbe movement to insuie permanent snccers. All are invited to at tend and participate in the proceedings. ViBCXTEMrs Brothers. The audience which greeted the appearance of these ar tist last evening was very small, and to speak plainly, a difgrac to our city, but those who were present, were very much pleased, and we know that at their next concert tbey will receive the honors tbey really deserve. The Messrs. Vieuxtemps have come "young men" as they are to do good i tbey have come to settle ia our State ; they are really from the old French families now residing hi Boaten. These are the kind of citizens we wish to weleome, because they will grow up with the State. The Vieuxtemps Brothers will give a mat inee oa Saturday afternoon for the school children. Every teacher and pupil of each school sbenld attend ' and not only go but , how tbem d . respect by going in a body, the same' a the school did in Portland last Saturday, giv ing the finest matinee ever given in Port land. Tbe same can be done here, and Mr. Bred tenders the Opera House for their benefit. On Saturday evening, the Broth ers will giro a eonoert at tbe Willamette University. The citisens are invited. Oa Monday or Tuesday evening, the Brothers will give a grand concert for the benefit of the Fire Department, on which oc cation Carl Vienxtemps will perform the ship on fire, as arranged by biauelf, for the first time in this country. The members of the Fire Deparment will take part in the clos ing scene. Bocrd Over. Charles Gall was brought before J nstiee Murphy, yesterday morning. and alter examination was held to answer on charge of larceny ia a dwelling bouse, and ia default of $500 bail be ia now in the county jail. The evidence showed that at one o'clock at night be had so money, and got up from a game of cards, in as saloon, dead broke. In thia strait .b borrowed a bit of Thomas DeWitt, a col ored man, about as valuable a member of society a, himself. At four .. o'clock h went to the Pacific Brewery aad paid, hi bill, an,d thence to a livery stable and wanted to hire a horse and buggy and be taken to Tamhill, but be could'nt get ac commodated and went to Portland by boat, though be claims to have gone there on foot. At Portland he went it with a loose ness and found hi way to the city prison as drunk and disorderly. No money of eon sequence wa found on him, a $91 wouldn't last an energetic scamp like bim very long. Tbe watch was found on him and proves to be the one bolonging to Rev. L. L. Rowland, so that of itself is enough to secure Charles a chance to learn the brick making. ' We have heard that on the boat be wanted a drink before day, and offered $1 50 for a drii k and mourned greatly be cause be eouldn t be accommodated, lie showed the watchman his twenty dollar piece with great elation and said that was tba kind he 'went for," and tried to find out by the atolea watch bow long before the boat would atait, He express himself as having any amoant ef sympathy for tbe yoang aaan who thought be wa' robbed of the ten cent pkoe and swears that be will end him b firt a he eaa lay hi band ' oa; So we may look for a petit lareeay te thtt xk-ntr ChrTey"bragi of the living ia tho Baleen, jail and i glad to gat eat of she oa 'aa.

It is. of course impossible "to assert ' at this early tiay where tbe great points of commerce are to be located in tbis State and Washington Territory, but tbe subject is one of great -interest, and the operations in real estate will soon commence to shape themselves in accordance with the' indications, and , and those who are to control tbe com merce of tbe North, west bare, bo doubt, already ' made np their minds what points they are determined to develops. Portland is already : a great eity in ; point of importance- of its trad), and compared with the country which looks to it for supplies, and as its commer cial center... It is safe to say that Port-, land will remain a place of great im-. portBBce, net to tbe North Pacific and ' the interior, but to Oregonaod par-( ticularly the Willamette Vallej. W; cannot agree with Our cotempotaries g.r' Portland who con.ildei'rtat their enter prising city will draw thither tbe wealth of " Orm us and lad," for we candidly believe that their city is a trifle too far np stream to do all the business, but it has a grand start and claims tea millions of wealth which it can readily doublet before a rival can develop, because that Jrival can only assume grand commercial proportions after the North Pacific road is com pleted. Looking at the future with ancb ken as -we can bring to bear, we mast con. elude that it remains for the N. P. R. R .Co. to decide what point shall be the commercial metropolis bora of its cosstraotion. We expect to see that rbad built down the north side of tbe Columbia, aad we see no reason a by Kalama will not be fully able to com pete witb any n'ty to be built upon the Souod for 1h? trade from tbe ocean aud from the interior. To. that point tbe great sea going ships ean come, aud there seem no veaot wby it should not also become the supply depot of the interior of the continent. We ex pect to see the Eaat side road contin ued to tbe Colombia river to connect witb the continental road, and we see no reason wby the ide-t lately advanced by a correspondent of tbe Mrrcury, whom we easily recognized by bis stjle, shall not be realized, that the West side road should also be con tinued direct to the Columbia rivr, to a point near Kalama to make a similar connection. It seems to us that these are proper and ineriuble results of a railroad era. As another result of the present time, aad of construction of tbe North Pacifio Road, we expect to see that road own and control tbe roads acting as its feeders, or centering witb it so as to make their possession desirable. That roads traveling tbe Willamette Valley will be so considered, and as tbe Central Pacific Company bas tbe construction in band of the road run ning north through California to tbe Oregon line, so it must be desirable for tbe North Pacific to own and con trol tbe northern end of the same road. Toe years that bave passed have in no grand sense been years of develop ment to Oregon. .The present epoch is in all respects different from any other known in our State, and it will result in creating wonderful works as the combined effect of capital and labor. The Three Stone Beads. . Rev. Thomas Condon, of the Dalle, lately delivered an able lecture before Young Men's Christian Association of Portland, of which we read reports in tbe dailies of that city. Mr. C, is ao excellent geologist and enthusiastic in bis love of Science. He exhibited to his audienc three atone beads, taken out of a rock, where tbe waters bad . worn a cbaonei 1,530 deep, on tbe Canyon city road. In tbe petrified strata, fonqd at tais deptb, the geolo gist recognised the mud of a vast lake which existed before the mountain ranges had risen around, and belore the Columbia river bad cut its way through to drain tbe interior. These fossil beads were there before the mountains, and belonged to rars spe cies of tbe animal kingdom that pre ceded man in occupying tbe earth. The Utrald says in this connection : Whoever traveled the Canyon City road knew what a magnificent view could be bad from the top of tbe moun tain. F(om that point could be seen a brown and whit landscape, tbe for mer color aistingnisbios; the marine period, from tbe latter, which indicated Chalk beds. Tbe John Day river bad uposed these beds and laid bare a picture of past ages. The lake where tbe specimens were found was petrified, and extended from Cnrrao Lake to Cacyon City.' The mud in the lake showad every bone in the animals min utely impressed npon it. The roc its there indira'ed everything, tbe femur being distinctly impreaied upon some. Tbe botanical specimens found there were rich and beautiful beyond all de- scription, and that in a country where nothing could be raised on it alkaline bed, aor could it water be tatted. Formerly the place was covered witb immense forests. He lb lecturer was never so enthusiastic in bis labor as, when, with a good Implement for -digging, be wa delving there, and reading tba record that ia past age tbe palm of tbe tropic spread tbeir luxuriant branches) ia ibis bow barren country. Wbea tbis country wa read and its stories explained, it .would be 1 aid that tbe past of tbe old world was a grand one.- For wbat purpose were these magnificent forests made? these beautiful flowers to bloom? wben the' band of man existed sot to tell of them.-':' - "There many a flower was bora to blush unseen, , And waste its fragrano in the desert air." ; .The Columbia and its branches bad absorbed all tbe lakes once there, and left it a treeless, shrubless country ' In the upper lakes, la the region of . jobs ust river, u waa aeiigotea to find specimens of tbe horse which in dicated a later age.' Aside from their scientific value, tbe specimens were in teresting in themselves as a history of tba past. Among tba rocks were found tba bones of tbe camel, which proved tbat the camel had inhabited tbat re gion. .Thia waa ia tba tertiary pariod. Bones were found 4a tba lake covered wlfi cinders, indicating that immense showers of ashes, twaty-fivs feet deep, bad fallen there and aovered ep its. history.. Overlying ba rang where tba specimen vera found, traces ef the later aoimal,teh a tba ox, m tadon aad elepbaat, were discovered, ad tbis Indicated a later period, wben violeeee had ceased and another era'; bad eommeaeed.

This country bad been formed at two periods, the first one between Long Island Sound and tba crossing of tbe Ohio with tbe Mississippi river ; the second when the Rocky Mountains were raised as a barrier to check tbe Pacifio Ocean. Tho Cascades then arose. The ocean bad never passed over these as was evident from tbe sea shell foaad on bis course. . He found tbat tht hook of Genesis and geology agreed, that one corroborated tbe oth er. No rock, no tree, no river could" be more explicit than the destiny of tba human soul. ' Tbe healing Gospel of Christ waa needed to complete tba harmony of the great work of ereation. Tbe church had made many changes ; it bad depended too much on external matters ; on tbe intellect of its follow ers.

But like tbe disease on tbe bark of an oak tree, tbis did not doan y damage to tbe internal life of the tree Prtlaad. From the Herald : ' Last Wednesday evening a man named Charles B.
