st cd in awe before its miracle of power,
there is, probably, not one who has failed
to notice the large $50 building which
stands directly opposite the cataract and
short distance below the railroad suspension
and cantilever bridges. The building is
known to all as the "Monteagie House,
and it has been popular place of resort
for hundreds of travellers during many
years. Nearly every place in America pos
sessing unusual natural scenery has its
legend, and ost trasical one is located
on the site where this stone building now
stands. Monteagie. young chieftain of
the Miami Indians, loved the daughter of
o mighty chief among the Iroquols. His
wooing, unlike that of Hiawatha, was not
received with favor by the father chief, and
hence he was compelled to resort to the
usual methods of SEDUCTION and flight. The
escaping pair were overtaken on the banks
of the Niagara where the hotel now stands,
and rather than submit to capture the low
ers cast themselves into the cataract below.
Their bodies were subsequently found at
the mouth of the river clasped IN an en-
brace which even the cataract could not
sunder. Many occurrences since that time
have tended to make the. Monteagie famous
and it was with surprise that it was learned
short time since that the edfc was to be
entirely transformed, re-arranged and re-
| furnished for the benefit of tourists, and
especially invalids.
Feeling that this is a subject in which
the public would take the unusual interest,
especially as the National Park question
is being so strongly agitated, representa-
tive of this paper visited Niagara Falls yes
terday and learned the following facts:

He is exceedingly well preserved, though
nearly go years of age, while his energy and
ambition are something wonderful. In con-
