GRAND LAKE, Middle Colorado i the

GRAND LAKE, Middle Colorado, Is the
subject OF legend. The legend is that
forty wears ago, on the ground at the out
let, there was a great battle fought wherein
the Cheyenaes and Arapahoes pressed the
Utes hard on to the water, who, with
women and children, took RATS made of
logs fastened together with thongs of hide.
An untimely wind came out of the west,
making raging sea over raft and Ute,
$40 OF whom sank into its depths with
bubbling groan." The singular fact that
the bodies never rose inspired the worst
terrors of savage superstition. 1t is held
that their spirits haunt the lake. The
present lake residents tell of white man
drowned there four years ago, whose body
never rose. Each day for nine days after
the dread event man walked around the
lake, but the body was not seen, nor has
since been seen. Sensitive visitors who
hear the story shudder as they say: :"
would not like to be drowned in Grand
Lake"

A Magnificent Millinery Room for
Fremont.


If any one deserves well at the hands
OF our citizens for evidencing exception
al energy and enterprise in business, it
Is surely Miss NJ. L. THOMPSON, millin-
cry of Front st. Since her compare
lively recent misfortune of being burnt
out, Miss T., has conducted most at
tractive and well stocked store in Deals
block, Front street, and most cordially
did we congratulate her on opening SO
excellent an establishment. But success
still attending her, in Difference to the
convenience of her many customers, she
has made a still further effort to secure
and preside over one of the finest retail
stores IN her business outside the most
prominent cities, and,t to her honor, be it
said, she has succeeded. We now find
her opened out in Russel's block, next
door to Mr.. Lesher's, in a fine store, re-
painted and ted-handsomely fit
ted up presenting more than any thing
an extensive drawing room, were it not
for the very fine display of goods con-
spicuously, though in the best of taste,
arranged around the room. She has re-
Gently laid in her new spring and sum-
mer purchases of goods, consisting of
everything elegant and becoming, while
she Is daily receiving fresh consignments
and altogether, a more elegant and
charming variety of millinery we have
never seen. Whatever may be said of
Cleveland, Toledo, and many other
places, Miss THOMPSON is evidently dis
posed to preserve intact the prestige of
Fremont, that ladies shall never have to
say they can purchase to better advant-
age elsewhere, but rather to place be-
fore her lady friends such goods, at such
prices, and in such variety and abund-
ance that they will certainly profit moth
ing by forsaking their own city institu-
ions and disregarding the jealous en-
terprise of their own citizens. Our lady
readers should give Miss THOMPSON a
call on Saturday and they will be more
than surprised and delighted.

Significant Political MOvement.-A
New Issue in 1875, and a Possible
Return to the Gilded Age.

1t has leaked out here that there is
really movement making to carry the
next Presidential election SO as to pei
into power a Congress and President
that will be in favor of the assumption
of the State debt of the South by the ma
tlonal Government. Indeed, the present
scheme is to consolidate all the State
debts into one grand national debt, and
the States are to be recommended to as
sumo the various county and
city debts, SO as to relieve the people in
those places of their local burdens,
The scheme may look a little wild at
first, but there is not only much to be
said In its favor, but it brings into life
an immense speculative interest which
may prove more powerful than the hon
est vote of the nation can counteract.
The national credit is lowered by the
pressure of the semi-repudiated debts of
the South, and the burden of debt of
the whole country would be mnch
hghtened if the Federal government
converted its own and the State debts
into a bond similar to the English con-
soils, the popularity of whichis that thev
are perpetual debt, and amount to an
annuity. The following figures show
the debts and the electoral votes of the
different States of the Union. 1t will be
seen how powerful is the monetary in
huences in favor of thisscheme, first pro
posed by Ex-Governor Walker, of Vir-
GINA, and advocated by him with great
ability:
