Tom and Nettie married and settled

wealth and happiness turned into a par

but a greater one began, when the col

fame of George Washington, Com

Colorado Cor. Chicago Tribunc
The canon next to us is known
as Bear Roost, and has as many
grizzlies in it as probably any spot
on earth, The noise of the blast
ing has driven these kings Of the
forest out of our own little valley;
but a mile walk can at any time
produce an interview. None OF a
violent nature has yet taken place,
as both sides preserve an armed
neutrality, We never can encoun-
ter Bruin among the trees, where
there is o chance for reflection
among the boughs after firing; and
we dare not take him on the bare
mountain-side, which he affects for
both den and promenade, We have
seen q dozen or so of the members
of this interesting family, in ap.
| pearance about the size Of an OK,
walking along the bare mountain
side of this valley. They seem at
this season, on account of their
young, to be very irritable; and, as
a grizzly can live long enough, with
dozen balls under his huge
ribs, to kill man, each interview
has so far been terminated as
quickly as the nature Of the ground
would permit. On two occasions
when we were above the bears or
the mountain-side, we tried by
long range shots, and rolling stones
to intimidate them; but, on boil
occasions, they commenced moyini
toward us the instant we were per
ceiyed. 1t was only yesterday tha
Phin crawled up the side wall o
our valley to have a shot from tn

A GENEROUS OFFER.

We are pleased to notice the
good conduct of the colored people
in these trying times. The Nc
Clellan Guards, under Capt. Glass,
are doing good, hard service at camp
j. 10 Williams; and yesterday the
colored company known as the

men are in earnest and can be
trusted to perform guard duty,
patrol service or to Gil any place
where they may be required
The offer we hope will be accepted
Nearly all our best residences are
left in charge Of cOlored servants
and thus far very few cases of rob
berry have taken place; perhaps no
more than when all the white peo

Curious Insurance.

A prospectus has been issued in
Paris, calling for subscriptions to
new company, which proposes TO
guarantee the honesty Of employees
of firms and corporations and of
other persons holding positions of
trust. The object of the company
is to take the place of ordinary
bondsmen, and, while relieving
those who are required to give bond
from the obligations that individual
guarantees impose, furnish a more
solid security for indemnity against
losses in all cases where such secur-
ity is demanded. The plan ap-
pears to be for the organization OF
a company with a capital Of 3OO,-
100000 francs ($6O, O,OOO,O00) or any
other sums that may be agreed
upon. This fund is to be held as
guarantee fund, out Of which any
defalcations are to be paid. ThC
principle is the same as in other in
surance companies where the un
derwriters engage, for a considera
tion, to insure the policy-holde
against loss. In the case Of th
Fidelity Guarantee Company th
party paying the premium woul
be the one whose honesty has to b
guaranteed. The company is to b
his bondsman, charging him tw
per cent. per annum, payable ever
SIX months, on the amount of b
, bond. Thus, if the bond give
e were for 100000 francs ($20,0O
, the annual premium would be 2,O(
I" francs ($4OO) which, it is argue
t could be easily afforded from a sa
y airy of 10000 francs ($6, ,O0O.)

pany organized in the United Stat
and it is new also 10 France, o
of the kind has existed in Lond
