where huge depots and machine shops
will be built, and whence ferry will
communic,ite with New York. The
road will be carried over the houses in
Jersey City, and in some parts will be
built on piles fifty feet deep. 1t will
take as much as five years to complete

is proposed to dig a canal sixty feet

AN INDIAN LEGEND.

The following is told of beautiful
sheet of water known as the Esprit
Lake" in Central Wisconsin
Many summers ago, ere the foot of
the pale face had trod the soil which
the red man claimed as his own, many
tribes dwelt near this lake for in the
lake were fish. and among the bluffs
and in the neighboring forests were
game, while the warrior, when tired of
the chase, could seek pleasure and find
it, bathing in the clear, bright waters
which he only, under the Great Spirit,
claimed, and with his light canoe
could take his love boating Indeed,
it seemed to the happy red man a
paradise, as we'll it might. As fortune
would have it, Frenchman, more
daring than his fellows, wandered
from the settlements" and found the
lake and soon making friends among
the warriors of the forest, he INDUCED
with them in the pleasures and disap-
pointments of the chase and fingered
long among them. When first he
came among the red men he was char
med with the beauty and loneliness of
an Indian maiden, and made love to
her.
She loved in return, and all went ON
merry and when the autumn leaves
began to fall and tho feathered song
sters to fly away to Southern homes,
the French hunter sought an interview
with the aged chief, her father, to ask
his consent to the hoped for marriage.
But, at the same time. young Indian
warrior, who had long looked with
jealous eyes upon tho Frenchman, and
had often in vain sought to win the
affections of the fair maiden of his
tribe, came to the old chief, and asked
for his daughters hand. The chieftan
disdaining partiality to the warrior on
account of the fact that he was one of
the tribe, stepped to the bank of the
lake with the two suitors, and pointing
to high and rugged tree upon the
opposite shore, said ''He of you who
shall first bring me an eaglet from the
nest in yonder tree shall be the sue.
cessful suitov -
When the old cbieftain ceased speak
ing, the hunter and warrior sprang in
to their light canoes, and were across
the lake in II thrice. The warrior
struck the shore first, but the hunter
was the first to climb the crags and
tree, and was descending with the Gag
let, when the faithless warrior pushed
him from limb on which he stood,
and was dashed in pieces upon the
rugged rocks below. The Indian
maiden, who had watched with painful
interest the different transactions pre-
ceding, when she saw her lover fall.
leaped far ont into the lake with 4
wild, piteous cry, and sank into the
clear waters never to rise again. The
superstitious red men fancy that the
spirit of the departed maiden rules the
storms, and that it would be certain
death for an Indian to risk himself on
the waters of the lake to which they
give the name esprit Lake" To
this day no Indian will battle in its
waters nor ride upon its bosom.
