for cxpellng the senators o: Louisiana,

would be ample cause for Summers
moving the expulsion Of the Ohio Sen

The White Canoe.

In the days of old, long before tho
deep solitudes of the West were dis
turbcd by the white men it was the
custom of the Indian warriors of the
forest to assemble at the cataract
aud offer human sacrifice TO the
Falls. Tie Offering consisted of a
white canoe full OF ripe fruits and
blooming flowers, which was padded
over the terrible cliff by the fairest
girl of the tribe, who had just arrived
ut the age Of wonanhood. 1t was
counted an honor by the tribe to
whose lot it tell TO make the costly
sacrifice; and even the maiden deemed
it high compliment to be selected
10 guide the white canoe over the
falls. The only daughter Of II chief
OF fthe Seneca Indians was once chosen
as sacrificial offering to the Spirit OF
Niagara, Her mother had been slain
by hostile tribe. Her father was
the bravest among his warriors, and
when the lot fell on his fair child, no
symptom Of feeling crossed his coun.
tenance.
At length the day arrived; it faded
into night as the savage festivities
and rejoicing proceeded; then the
moon arose and silvered the cloud of
mist that rose above the turmo oil of
Niagara; and now the white canoe,
laden with its precious freight glided
from the bank and swept out into the
dread rapid from which escape was
hopeless. The young girl calmly
steered her tiny bark towards the
centre of the stream while frantic
yells and shouts arose from the
shores. Suddenly another white
canoe shot forth upon the stream,
and, under the powerful impulse of
the Seneca chief flew like an arrow to
destruction. 1t overlook the first,
the eyes of the father and child met
in one last gaze of love and then they
plunged together over the laundering
cataract. -.....-
