Onkatta Col.,A. B. Mtaohain last night
read at the Opera House the third chapter of
his forthcoming work, entitled the "Legend
of Oneatta.!' The plot of the legend Is
founded onfacts'ard 'the Col. has woven It
into storv In beautiful language. We who
know the "noble red man" of this lllibe so
well can hardly in our day appreciate a
story that Idealizes tho al washes we
see daily drunk and squalid on onr
streets. But this fact' cannot take away the
beauty of Col. Meacham's legend. The only
thing we regret is that the Colonel last night
tried to give a forty minute story in o twenty

the beauty of it; We have'the promise, and
hope soon to publish this beautiful legend In
