AN INDIAN LEGEND.
CAPTAIN BRADY g. CORNPLANTER

MANY OF TIE WILD LEGENDS Of Dor
der strife and Indian barbarity that
have been enacted along the shores of
tho Allegheny and Ohio have never
been rescued from the dim and fading
remembrance ola past age. But occa-
Bionally Il story Of thrilling interest is
snatchcd from the lingering records Of
the red man.
The story | am about to relate, re-
ccived from an old Indian pilot Of the
Allegheny. 1t was many years ago,
when that stern old chief, Cornplanter,
(whose remains now rcpose in silence
and loneliness on the banks of that
bcautcous river he loved so welD, was
in his glory. His tribe roamed over
the dense and unbroken forests along
its banks, fearless, unmolcstcd and
free.
His people were hostile to the whites,
and never lost any opportunity to lie in
ambush and seize some lonely voyagcr
as he descended the river, and consign
him to the stake and the torture. But
the watchful shrewd and deadly foe of
Cornplanter and the "tawny race" was
