water in this county (is pure and

supplied by springs and brooks in
some localities, as in many other
portions of the State, although a
number ofgood unoccupied mill

the creeks and rivers tarnish suffi

the land in this county is still un-
claimed, and quite an extensive
tract, known as the "Reservation,"
is owned ando occupied by the
Umatilla Indians, a tribe peaceably
inclined, and in many instances

tion. Panning land partly im-

An Indian Tradition.
-
Tlxc Story of tlie Deluge on tills
Continent. Q
From the Detroit Post.
The following rather singular
tradition which exists among the
Papago Indians respecting Monte
zuma, their founder, and the del
uge, has, we believe, never yet ap
peared in print ; at least not in its
present shape. It was related by
Captain Con Ouan, an aged and
intelligent member of the tribe,
dnd was tgken down from his lips
by an interpreter for Judge Henry
T. Backus, of Arizona Territory,
and formerly of this city. Judge
Backus has visited many of thai
places mentioned in the legend,
and has been an eye-witness of
the quadrennial feast still cele
brated at the cave. He represents
the I apagoes as being nominally
Catholics, yet clinging to their na
tional traditions with great ten
acity, and cherishing the memory
of Montczum.iQwith even more
than saintly generation. 0
Tli tradition of the deluge is
interesting in its relation to the
origin 9f the Indians of the coun
try, ami especially the ancient
tribes who lived in the twilight of
civilization, until the Spanish Chris
tians annihilated them. Did they
bring this tradition with them
from the Asiatic continent ? Or,
did they come in contact with the
people of the old world, antecedent
to any 'historical evidence of that
fact, from whom they derived this
tradition ? O
These are inquiries naturally sug
gested by the following narrative.
Montezuma, it wiltbe understood.
whom Cortes dethroned. It is the
generic term of their rulers, like
Pharaoh, Ca?sar, etc.
Before the flood men lived to a
great age, so that thev lost their
teeth and crept about like children.
Vfter a time they -would get new
teeth, and walk upright again like
men in the prime of life. Then it
was that the Great Spirit created
the mountains and peopled the
earth on all sides. Then, too, ani
mals talked like men, and were the
first to tell ot the approaching
flood. About this time appeared
Montezuma, who collected a large
quantity of gum from a plant called
eiuehi, and with this gum, which
is said to bo insoluble 111 water,and
with other materials, he built a
larger-vessel, in which he took ref-
e, closing and scaling the door
behind him. In like manner a
cayote or prairie dog crept into a
large cane stalk Qflinl closed the
ends against the water. The flood
came up to the highest mountains,
and readied even the birdsjr4vhicli
cried like men, with fright. "When
the waters came down, Montezuma1
and the cayote landed at Ccrro
Prief ta, wdjich mountain some be
lieve to be Montezuma's vessel.
According to another tradition
they landed, in the centre of the
earth, and, having come out of
their vessels, Montezuma noticed
the trail of a beetle fastiu the mud.
Il then turned back, and meeting
the cayote, they n braced each
other in grief. Montezuma sent
the cayqte southward to findOthe
sea, whicii it soon tound, and re
turned, when it was sent on the
same errand to the northward,
but returned unsuccessful. Ihcv
then lay down to sleep, when Mon
tezuma dreamed that he should
form men ant women out of clay,
which he accordingly did, making
two for each nation. Meanwhile
thecai-ote sat behind him, also
making menbut the latter ordered
them to be removed. His own
people multiplied rapidly, and
built a large city on the north bank
Kf a river, supposed to be at the
mouth of Salt river, in Arizona,
where the remains of large ditclies
are still visible.
Montezuma next traveled south
ward, followed2by large numbers
of people. In accordance with a
dream, he thrust a rod into the
earth, and water flowed thence,
which is the origin of the springs
at Santa Rosa and elsewhere. After
a time the Great Spirit appeared!
to Montezuma rCs an old man, and
asked to baptise the people, that
they might live, beyond the sky
after death, but Montezuma be
came angry and killed the Great
Spirit. Then the latter arose from
the dead by night and repeated
the request, when Montezumagrew
angry again,dcclared that he would
take his people to heaven by a
tower, and killed the Great Spirit
a second time, leaving him on the
ground, where lie was dragged
about as a play tiling for four years.
He then returned to heavcn,remov
ing the sun further from the earth
1 as he ascended.
TJ"
Aftera long Interval he decend
ed again with the same request as
before. At this time Montezuma
was living at the Casa Blanco, or
white house, close to the Pimo vil
lages on the Gila river. The in
side of this house was overlaid with
pure gold.
A third
time he slew
pain, which led to an invasion by
1
the (Spaniards. Twice did Monte
zuma meet and repel the invaders,
but Before le third engagement
the golden ring flew from the
finger of his daughter to the finger
of the Spanish commander and the
silver ring of the latter flew to the
finger of the former. Thus did she
become leagued with the enemy,
and when they were out of pro
visions she prevailed upon her peo
ple to thjjow them tot talcs instead
of arrows, and thus they were fed
at Montezuma's expense. After
many severe conflicts the Spaniards
were victorious, when the traitor-
mis
the
us princess demanded the hand of
commander m marriage. He
agreed tcrthis on condition that an
eagle which he set free should
alio-ht on a nricklypear tree. The
eagle did so, and tlie commands
started to celebrate the marriage
at the pear tree, being followed by
a large train of Papagoes; but, un
der the pretext of getting violins,
povvder, etc., -he traveled on and
on until the Indians all deserted
him.
Henceforth, as the story goes,
Montezuma made no improve
ments, and the people were scat
tered over the country. He after
ward deposited the archives ot the
Papago tnd Pimo nations in a
cave near Santa Rosa, and ordered
that thev celebrate a feast there
every fourth year, -which custom is
still observed., lhe nation gradu
ally diminished, and Montezuma
wandered about until the Indians
have lost all traces of him.

What is Drunk ? The XortJi
Hrltish J lev lew says: At the be

of the heart, which now sends
blood rapid lyQto the lungs for
a? ration.
A large supply of blooddisks

During this time the volatile alco
hoi is diffusing itself through the
system, converting aortal into ven-

with a spirit which has a tendency
to prevent change in the tissues, so
that the drunkard becomes stupid,
falls olf his chair in the stupor of
sleep, or, if too far gone, dies of
venous apoplexy.
The Grace op Hospitality.
There is, says Demorest's Monthly,
a quality which Americans have
been proud of, and which we hope
they will not suffer to die out. The
present danger is that it will be
sacrificed to the love of display,
which is so dirpct a promoter of
selfishness, and ail the mean vices.
The holiday season affords a fine
opportunity for the exercise of this
virtue and it may be shown in
many other ways besides giving
entertainments, or setting) grand
tables.

Whereas, Since the conclusion

to certain waters of that empire
for purposes of trade, he has by
no means relinquished his right of
eminent domain or dominion over
the said land and -waters, hereby

themselves, hereby agree to abstain
from offensively attacking the citi
zens or subjects of any power or
party or their property with which
they may be at war on any such
tract of land or waters of the said
empire; but nothing in this article
shall be construed to prevent the
United States from resisting an at

upon their citizens or their prop
erty. It is further agreed that if
any right of interest 111 any tract
of land in China has been or shall
hereafter be granted by the Gov
ernment of China to the United
States or their citizens for purposes
f trade or commerce, that grant
shall in no event be construed to
divest, the Chinese authorities of
their right of jurisdiction over per
sons and property within said tract
of landjjxccptcso far as that right

Art. 2. The United States of
