these lovely vales live in 
that unhappy tribe, whose princes 
that, after years, flowed in my earthly veins. But 
the spirit of darkness came upon them; the voice 
of good was turned away from their ears, strife and 
bloodshed arose, and where the sound of gladness 
burst forth from the haunts and dwellings of all the 
tribes, the war-whoop echoed far and near, and the 
weapons of death were red with the life blood of 
brethren, who, from the earliest days of man, had 
drank from the same peaceful cup, hunted in the 
same forest, smoked the same calumet, and slept 
beneath the same robe- of fur, protected alike by 
the good Munition and the spirits of the departed. 
Whence arose the evils that thus befel the race, or 
where now rests the guilt that demands and must 
be followed by full and perfect expiation, it is not 
for me to declare, and that is not my errand, but. to 
a spirit, though of earth, anxious to know some¬ 
thing of the past, to shed a halo on the scenes now 
•passing in this world, it is not forbidden to afford 
this gratification. 
“Yonder, in the dark, deep waters, near where 
the tall pines lift their crests of age, now glowing

A CONSEQUENCE OF THE PEDESTRIAN MANIA, 
It is well known to all who are familiar with the 
history of North America, that in the early part of 
the seventeenth century there existed in thi6 region 
many numerous aud powerful native tribes, who, 
upon the records of the past make a conspicuous 
and interesting ligure. Next to the Five Nations, 
us then organized, perhaps none appear more prom¬ 
inent than one existing at the above mentioned 
period, in the upper part of Lower Canada, called 
the Adirondaks. Historians and travelers agree 
that they were a numerous aud powerful nation, 
somewhat refined, aud wealthy and warlike, in¬ 
deed, we must conclude that, successful as they 
were in their encounters with the Five Nations, for 
many years, in a hloody aud protracted war with 
thut confederacy, they must have been nearly or 
quite equal to any of the Northern nations during 
the struggles that preceded then defeat and final 
subjugation. 
The detail of a savage war of thirty years, some 
portion of which waB carried on iu connection with 
the French on one side and the Dutch on the other, 
after the settlement by Europeans of the respective 
districts occupied by these nations, is not here in¬ 
tended. Little more than a single incident will be 
related. 
At the time to which allusion is made, some of 
the names of places and individuals in Canada had 
assumed a Gallic form, and in many instances were 
mere translations into French of what the Indian 
names signified. That nomenclature prevails, to a 
grertt extent, to this day. The natives, even, for¬ 
sook original designations, and often followed those 
of foreigners, who were then making rapid inroads 
upon everything national among them. What was 
the original name of the Canadian tribe above men¬ 
tioned is not, perhaps, known, but it seems that 
“Adirondak” must have been a corrupt French 
compound of “illrondc” or “Aronde,” which 
might signify a swallow or swift bird; and some 
other word,'not now precisely known, though per¬ 
haps “docte”—learned or docile. This compound 
would have been, to some extent, characteristic of 
the tribe, or individuals of it, whatever was its origin. 
It was not uncommon among the natives of this 
country, 60 far as observation on that subject hits 
been made, to find prophets and seere in all the 
tribes, to, whom such a superstitious reverence was 
paid as to depend upon them altogether for direc¬ 
tion and advice, in their operations and enterprises, 
especially when engaged in war. And females fre¬ 
quently bore this character and held this relation 
to the retft of the tribe, and governed in their coun¬ 
cils. These personages were generally of royal or 
distinguished blood among them. Such was the case 
in the AdirOndak tribe, as will appear by the sequel. 
I do not believe in the truth of all dreams, or the 
scenes and visions presented in that mystical and 
unaccountable state—but sometimes they seem so 
much like reality that 
“ They give us pause,” 
lead to pleasant and not unfrequently to useful re¬ 
flections ; and at the hazard of being considered a 
convert to the doctrines of the great Swedish 
philosopher of the last century, or a believer iu the 
recent theories of communion with the inhabitants 
of the spirit world, I will relate what recently oc¬ 
curred to me. 
I was seated upon the prostrate and decaying 
trunk of one of those huge forest oaks that but a 
few years since towered so majestically on the 
anomalous geological elevation that stretches east 
from the Genesee River, iu modern times called 
Mount Hope. The sun was sinking behind the far- 
off forests of the west, the gilded spires of the 
youthful city—tlje windows burnished by the re¬ 
flecting rays of the retiring orb—the winding river 
gently flowing towards the turbulent abyss where it 
mingles with the mighty depths of Ontario—the 
deep blue horizon that bounded my vision on almost 
every side, and the distant vistas through which I 
caught an occasional glance at the broad expanse of 
that magnificent silvery sea,—all conspired to induce 
a train of thought aud reflection upon the scenes 
and times that history, meager and uncertain, de¬ 
scribes. Back, batjk in thought I traveled to the 
days when this beautiful valley was an entire wilder¬ 
ness—when the red man of the forest was the lord 
paramount — when \hc wild deer made his covert 
among these hills, and nought was. heard hereabouts 
but the- whoop of the savage, the scream of the 
eagle, the snuff of the forest stag, and the everlast¬ 
ing roar of that splendid cataract, that, dashing 
into its rocky trough, sends back for aye the notice 
of its rest. 
My bosom heaved with unwonted emotion, A 
deep sigh, ipy0)u,nt4rijy burst forth, aud while my 
laboring imagination teemed with the forms and be- 
iugs of centuries gone by, a strange figure stood 
before mu. Hp see mud a native warrior, who, more 
than two centuries ago, had here his earthly habita¬ 
tion—now gone to the laud of spirits to enjoy the 
firoad Gelds antj pleasant hunting grounds of the 
good, where Ute great Manitou forever reigns. He 
was iff fOrm atnan, bat without the cumbrous load 
of material substance that constitutes the tenement 
of mortal spirits while they tabernacle in the flesh, 
In his left, hand was a golden how, and suspended 
from his shoulder hung a splendidly embossed quiver 
well filled with beautiful and shining arrows. His

Senecas. I rested not till I sought her among our 
native hills. I stood at twilight upon the green 
graves of her sires, and as you now see me. 
Hikonde appeared before me, and with a voice that 
breathed of brighter worlds and purer life, she said : 
“ ‘ Seek me. no more in the land of the strangers, 
nor among the once happy homes aud rcstiug 
places of my tribe. I dwell amid the spirits, while 
in the waters of yonder Bay, whose pine-covered 
shores stretch from the southern waves of the 
wide Caderaqui into the land of the Senecas, all 
that was earthly of me rests darkly, deep aud for¬ 
ever. When this morning’s sun arose, I sat upon 
the summit of the highest hill that looks down 
upon the lake, and gazed upon the gilded surface of 
that wide water on whose bosom many a happy hour 
of my life was spent. I prayed once more to the 
Good Mauitou 1 nut it might be given me to look 
again upou the" J taves of my fathers. I saw in the 
distance the soft, blue outline of my native bills, 
and seemed to 'near the happy welcome of those 1 
loved and left in blood,—when, like the panther in 
the wild, still wood-haunt, a hated SeDeca reared 
bis eel-bound tuft above the stinted evergreens, and 
I, to shun his dreaded grasp, plunged to the deep, 
and sought, for aye, the spirit world of immortality.’ 
“ That secluded Bay is the sacred resting place of 
Hikonde the Swift Bird of our tribe; hence it 
was called 1 Miroude-uk-wachi'* —the Swift Bird's 
grave.” 
Again the silence 1 observed during the relation 
was broken by a 6igh. I gazed around, but the 
spirit chief was 6een no more.

our wigwams and distant homes, hironde naa seen 
bat eighteen years. The hand of the good Manitou 
had fashioned her with all the grace and loveliuess 
that could accord with time and earth, and breathed 
into her spirit the power to see aud know beyond 
this mortal vision, the good and ill that they must 
meet who owned her as a seer. She blessed the in 
fant in his vine hung cradle. Old age received from 
her the words of joy and hope. The warrior, when 
he strung his bow of death, invoked her aid to 
nerve his arm and fill his quiver with unerring 
shafts. But she foretold what we must meet, and 
with prophetic voice she warned the mighty hearts 
who strove, that all must sink benea-h the bloody 
hand of that confederate race, then long our nation’s 
curse. The chiefs laughed her to scorn, and madly 
rushed to inevitable destruction and to death. 
“What matters it to speak of such a being to any 
one, save some inhabitant, of higher worlds and 
brighter spheres ? Our time had come. The voice of 
the Great Spirit had decreed our doom, and chief or 
warrior, prince or visional seer, could not avert the 
fate. This hand, then clothed with mortal flesh— 
this arm had dealt out death to hundreds of the 
hated race and sent their howling spirits to the 
demon world. The tomahawk and scalping-knife 
had done their bloody work, and old and young, 
warriors and women, too, had fallen beneath the 
vengerul blow. Cruelty was sated well, and savage 
thirst craved nothing more, and human sacrifice, 
glutted with destruction, slept. Enough—the good 
spirit forsook the tribe, and like the pestilence that 
sweeps its thousands down to death, the Iroquois 
spread havoc round, and scarce the name was left 
where once amid the nations of the earth the 
Adirondak flourished in his pride and might. 
“ a vision of the future had foretold to our Swift 
Bird what misery would ensue, and like the inno¬ 
cent fawn, she bowed to every ill, and looked with 
■smiles upon the approaching storm that was to 
sweep in wrath her home, her kindred, all she loved, 
from earth and time. She bowed, for she was 
scorned, despised. 
“In darkness had my spirit met the sad decree. 
I would have sung with joy the death song over her 
lifeless clay, If I could hut have known that she had 
gone to meet the departed shades of her honored 
name. Her life was spared. The strangers led her 
to this land of gentle skies and softer dimes. They 
felt the power that innocence and wisdom hold over 
erring man, and much as the enemies of her tribe 
desired to leave no vestige of the conquered race, 
still not a voice was heard that boded ill to her, or 
hand was raised to do her harm. And ere live 
moons had filled their silver horns, not one among 
the foes of those she loved but did her homage with 
a willing heart. 
“She pined iu secret for her native vales. She 
heaved the hopeless sigh for woods and streams 
where iu her youth her footsteps light, were seen in 
daily sport, where she had gathered flowers to deck 
her glossy hair, and her shrill laugh of joy was 
echoed far and wide. In vain they sought to soothe 
her drooping spirit. Deeper was thrust the dart of 
anguish in that heart, as the rude chiefs of Onon¬ 
daga bowed in reverence, or the stern Oneida sung 
her praise in the mad war-song of the gathered tribe, 
“ But hush! methinks 1 hear her gentle voice, far 
in the spirit world, and I must soon away. On yon 
dark purple hills, that ten leagues hence look down 
upon the embosomed Canadice, and further towards 
the rising sun, where bushed in twilight now the 
Ho-ne-o-ye rests in glossy calm, for months and 
years 1 watched each closing night that hid from 
mortal ken the being of my care. She longed to 
see once more the desolate and now forsaken land, 
where for centuries her ancestors had sunk in peace 
to rest, and waked again to life in brighter fields of 
joy. The last remaining son of that ancient race, 
who lived upon the borders of the wide Caderaqui, 
and along the banks of the mightiest &t.ream that flow’s 
from the Betting sun into the waters of the deep, I 
alone was left to watch the chosen bird of that fated, 
ruined flock. But for that being, I would have bled 
with my tribe, aud laid me down in the glory of 
that sacrifice that now awaits the spirits of my kin¬ 
dred in the blessed land of their rest. She prayed 
to sleep upon the soil of her fathers; I sought to

A Paris correspondent of the Boston Nation re¬ 
cently related the following little incident, which 
amusingly illustrates the peremptoriness of French 
law, and the inflexibility of red tape: 
Marshal Mac-Muhon, Duke of Magenta and Gov¬ 
ernor of Algeria, is in Paris. He has arrived for the 
confirmation of his eldest son. An anecdote is told 
of him which is characteristic of his soldier-like 
plain simplicity of demeanor. When his last child 
was horn, we are informed, it so happened that 
nothing was ready for the event. The duchess was 
travelling through Paris on her -way to her chateau , 
when the child was bom. An official decree com¬ 
pels all parents to register their children’s names, 
sex, etc., within twenty-four hours of their birth. 
The babies have to he carried to the prefecture for 
this purpose, and many die in consequence of this 
official decree. 
The Duke of Magenta had neither nurse nor maid 
in readiness, he therefore wrapped the babe up in a 
blanket, left the duchess in care of a physician and 
hotel maids, got into a Jiaqre with thi child, and 
was soon at the prefecture. It was early, the clerk 
who kept the register had not arrived, and the man 
who had charge refused to open the big hook till 
the clock struck nine. 
“lamina hurry,” said the duke. “ The child is 
a boy, write him down and there is an end of it.” 
“At nine,” persisted the clerk, looking at the 
bauds of the dock and continuing to pick his nails. 
“So that’s the regulation, is itV” asked the duke, 
shaking the baby in his arms, and tossing it up to 
keep it warm. 
“Yes, sir, a regulation is a rule,” continued the 
clerk, smiling bitterly at the father’s tender care, 
“ aud you’ll want some witnesses, besides.” 
“Oh,” said the duke, “I’ll soon get them,” and 
he called in the coach driver. 
“That’s only one,” persisted the clerk. “You 
must have two.” 
The duke looked very much as if he wanted to 
say a very wicked oath, hut he did not. “Well, 
then, in the name of goodness go and fetch me a 
scavenger, or a pot-house keeper, or any one you 
can lay hold of,” said he to the coachman, who dis¬ 
appeared and came back with a willing baker. 
“ Now, then, it is nine o’clock,” said the Marshal 
of France, wiih his usual peremptory way, “and 
you, young man, have got to register my son, and 
if you don’t be quick at leaving off the paring of 
those nails of yours I’ll settle your affairs in half a 
second.” 
The clerk looked contemptuously, but opened 
the great book, gaping. 
“Who are you?” he asked, dipping his pen in 
the tin inkstand. 
“I am Mae-Mahon, marshal of France, conqueror
