1HIAD1An QUESTION.
Among the many views 10 which dis
tanee hes lent enchsntment, Is to be
reckosm the view Of the noble red men
Of the forest. Doubtless many of the
settlers on our Western fronue: u,ed Ia
their childhood 10 rcctsc the so-calte5
Incisn orat'ons st the annual public
school exhibitions, and their childish
minds must have been charmed with the
simple m.jesty OF the Indsan char Acses Is
1t there shines out, heightened by the
glow Of the solemn council fire and the
mystical clouds from the pipe OF peace.
In some Of their religious hours they
hsve perhaps felt rebuke1 by the htisl
worship OF the un,utorsd savage, who,
according to cerlain books Of poetry and
fiction, claimed the Gle-. Spirit tor his

maiden whoce blood hss since l,wed in
the veins Of so many Of the first tam,lus
Of Virginia. What pity to spoil so
rare legend fsr the sake Of dry facts
which one can pick up anywhere in his
toryD From the aforementioned high
authorities The emtgrant might have N T.
ticipated the most Romantic, as will a.
friendly, intercourse with those free
children of nature; but we are p2tued to
recc1d, as the testimony OF all the white
men We have met In the plains aud noun
talns, that the tsuob'e red man" Aforesaid
must have died before The date OF tbe1r
arrival; and, what Is still more painful
If true, that lie mus have died an Old
bachelor. tor no defendants OF hts noble
line have yet been discovered.
