A Mysterious California Lake.

what is known as Dead lake lies be-
tween Lake Earl and the coast, about
midway on line from the mill 10 what
is known as Keller's. pond. There are
many strange stories connected with
this mysterious lake. which has no visi-
bic outlet, and yet, despite the ceaseless
How of small stream which empties
INTO 1t, retains uniform volume Of
water. It's depths have been sounded,
and though it has been asserted that
bottom was found at a depth of twenty
five feet, this must have been very near
TO the shore, as others who have dared
10 venture upon its dark waters report
that there is considerable area where
no bottom can be found. There is
an old Indian legend in regard to
the origin of the lake. Long years
ago, long before the invading feet
OF the white man had sought this coast,
there dweIt here a numerous Indian
tribe. Many summers they lived in
peace and contentment. The waters
abounded with fish, the forests were
filed with game, and the Indians heart
was glad. But at last came the time of
sorrow. One day the old chief while at
council, became angered at one OF the
most respected men of the tribe, and
struck him TO the ground. This one
blow forever destroyed the harmony
which had until then existed. The
friends of the gray-haired councilman
rebelled at the authority OF their chief
and cried for vengeance. But the greater
portion of the tribe remained loyal and
were victorious, pursuing the van
quished and fleein enemy back among
the sand dunes near the coast.
The heart of the Indian god, Clut-te
nog-gy, was flied with wrath because
of this discord smong his people, and he
determined 10 inflict a terrible punish
ment. The heavens became covered
with menacing clouds of terrible dark
! ness, and the wind swept over the shit
ing sands, binding and blocking the
way of pursued and pursuer. Suddenly
deafening sound broke: upon their
ears, and, like the jaws of a
mighty dragon, the earth opened
beneath their feet and they were
swallowed from sight. The storm
burst in all its wild fury, the.torrents
poured into the gaping abyss, and the
ripping waters of Dead lake now lave
the sides of that sepulcher. To this day
no Indian can be induced 70 approach
Dead lake. They tell the story that two.
bolder than the others, conquered their
dread, and building a canoe ventured
upon its waters, but they were never
heard of afterward. Its depths are said
to be infested with reptiles of enormous
dimensions, to which assertion a strong
semblance of truth is given by the re-
port of F. W. Wilson, Esq. last sum-
mer, that he saw an immense serpent in
the vicinity OF Lake Earl. This mon
stcr Ophidian doubt ess crossed over
from Dead lake, and as it has not since
been seen, the probability is that it has
returned to its home.-Crescent Oity

CONGRESSIONAL FUNERALS.

Seeing how little benefit congress
is to the country, and what a
great evil it amounts to sometimes,
there are doubtless persons in the
world who imagine that a number
Of congressional funerals would be
for the public good. We admit
that such an opinion is not without
foundation. For instance, the coun.
try could have we'll afforded to
pay the funeral expenses of Fer
nando Wood, Kentucky Blackburn,
Springer or Proctor Knott, a great
many years ago, that is,
if these gentlemen had con-
sented to place themselves
in a condition to make the
thing possible. And a majority of
the democrats in congress would
gladly now pay the expenses of the
sweetoscented Acklen, in order to
get rid of troublesome job. Aud
we undertake to say that there
have been times when Ben. Hill
would have gladly voted a liberal
appropriation to defray the funeral
expenses Of Senator Blaine.
But while the people generally
may believe, and have good reaso ms
for so believing, that congressional
funerals are capital things for the
country, they perhaps have no idea
about what they really cost. For
their benefit, we give the following

IT was matter of surprise to his
political friends, as well as to those
who were not his friends, when Gov.
Marks selected Col. John II. Savage
to represent the state in the "new
issue" cases. Col. Savage has
never been recognized as a great
lawyer, and, as politician, his
character is that of an INSCRIPTIONS
demagogue. And previous to his
appointment, he had spoken of
the supreme court in such
terms as made the act of
the governor in appointing him, an
insult direct, to the members of that
body. He recently tried one Of
these cases at Jackson and lost it,
since when he has been abusing the
court and intimating that the YER
dict against the state was the result
of judicial legerdemain. Governor
Marks administration is noted for
its blunders, not the least of which
is his selection of counsel in this
case where such vast interests are
involved, 7zs r--.

The young men who write able
editorials for the Rogersville Spec
tator are very severe upon the
CHRONICLE for publishing informa-
ton relative to scandal in which
certain congressman are involved.
We presume they are young, and
have not had an opportunity of
reading the leading democratic or
ganS of the country, or they would
not be hurting their thunderbolts
exclusively at US. They call il
giving publicity to- filthy garbage,
whatever that may mean, and
are very uncomplimentary in
their remarks. Now if they
had read the Chicago Times, New
York Sun, and Atlanta Constitu-
ton, they would have found this
same "6lthy garbage" paraded be-
fore the public through the vera
cious columns Of those reliable, red
hot democratic organs. We confess
that we Do not see why congress-
mans rascality should be hid from
public view any more than the ras-
cality of private citizen, but if to
expose them be a crime, let the
democratic papers aforementioned
be included in the Reporters whole
