Among the hundreds of thousands of tour
lists who have visited Niagara Falls and stood
in awe before its miracle Of power, there is,
probably not one who has failed tonotico the
large stone building which stands directly
opposite the cataract aud u short distance be-
low the railroad suspension and cantiever
bridges. This building is known to all as the
Monteagle House," and il has been popu-

during many years. Nearly every place in
America possessing unusual natural scenery
has its legend, and most tragical one is To-
Gated on the site whore this stone building
now stands. Monteagle, young chioftain OF
the Miami Indians, loved the daughter Of a
mighty chief among tho lroquois. His
wooing, unlike that of Hiawatha, was
not received with favor by the father
chief, and hence ho was compelled to re-
sort TO the usual methods of abduction
and flight. Tho escaping pair were over
taken on the banks of the Niagara, where the
hotel now stands, and rather than submit to
capture tho lovers cast themselves into the
cataract below. Their bodies were subse
quently found at the mouth Of the river
clasped in an embrace which even the catd.
ract could not sunder. Many occurrences
since that time have tended to mako tho
Monteagle famous, and it was with surprise
that it was learned short time since that
the edifice was to be entirely transformed
rearranged and refurnished for the benfit of
tourists, and especially invalids
