AN INDIAN LEGEND.

Ear back in the closing years of the
eighteenth century, the most powerful
Indian nations Uf the Northwest were
the CIlippewas and the Dakotas, be-
tween whom exlstedan undying hatred
ever and anon breaking Out i'll bloody
war. Among all the Indian princesses
none Was Llle peer III beauty Ut Wen
olla, daughter of the mighty Red Wing
Chief Ut all the Dakota. tribes, and
many were the suitors for her hand !.
But from all Of her own nation she
turned away, having secretly given
her heart to the son OF Wahna oZah,
chief OF the Chippewa nation, Red
Wings hereditary and mortal toe.
One spring Red Wing summoned all
his chiefs to council and asked their
aid in IL war for the destruction Ut the
Chippewas. 10 most the hope Of spoil
Was guerdon enough, but young Wazi-
koota demanded Wenona us the price
Of his support. 1t was promised when
the campaign should be finished, Sad
Was Wenona's heart. In d stolen in
terview with her Chippewa lover it
was agreed that in the fall. when the
war was done. he should meet her at
1.-The Great Rock" on Lake Pepin.
And they would flee far to the west.
All summer WenOna waited in ming
leuhopeanu fear-hope that Wazikoota
could not claim her-fear lest her
chosen one might fall i'll battle. At
last when the sumac flashed red on the
hills and the grapes purpled in the
forests, Wenona heard one evening
the appointed signal-the call Of the
nlght-Dlrd. Stealing from the wig
wan she met The Chippews chief, and
hand in hand they sped towards the
shore, where the canoe was hidden.
But the jealous Wazlkoota had dogged
thsir footsteps, and now gave a shrill
war-cry. Out poured the warriors
from tile camp, in hot pursuit, and soon
Wenona's lover fell, pierced through
and throug with arrows. Then the
maiden's reason fled, and with
a maniac's strength she caught
up the body, rushed to the brow of the
cliff, paused all instant 10 hurl defiance
at her pursuers, then leaped far out,
and was crushed oil the rocks below"
The scene of this legend is the we'll
known maiden Rock" and is located
directly ON the line Of "The Burling-
ton" For any information about
this scenic line, call on your local

THE SAND MEN AND THE CANAL.
The request of delegation Of sand dealers

them from hereafter using the canal be not in
forced was referred to Capt Lusk, who re-
ported to Col Robert today that il is his opin-
ion that the 18th street sewer canal cannot
continue to be used by the sand boats without
season Of hot weather. The paper has been re-
ferred to the health officer tor his report ss to
the sanitary questions involved.
SEEKING KNOWLEDGE FROM THE DISTRICT
This morning Messrs. Amos H. Milling,
James L. Graham, A. f. Clay and James W.
Walk, members of the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture, called upon the Commissioners to pay
their respects. They compose a special com.
mittee appointed by the Pennsylvania legis-
lature to correct the charitable system of the
state. They are on tour Of inspection Of the
principal cities investigating methods of deal
ing with charitable and reformatory institu-
tions. The committee will be in Washington
about week.
WHY THEY OPPOSE THE ROAD
The Commissioners after considering House
bill No. S497, ITO authorize the Washington
and Western Railroad Of Virginia to extend it's
tracks into and within the District Of Column
bia, have submitted their report thereon to
Congress. They recommend adverse action
upon the bill, as in their judgment they say that
neither this nor any other steam railroad should
be permitted to skirt or otherwise occupy the
reclaimed lands of the Potomac river front be-
tween the western terminus OF New York ave.
nue. and the Long Bridge.
