* r VOLUME VII.-NUMBER 1157. SIX DOLLARS A YEAR Ail INDIAN TRADITION. Ta? ?tory of the Dela?;* on this Con? tinent. ? The following rather siigulnr tradition which edita among the Papago Indians respecting Montezuma, their founder, and thc deluge, has, we believe, never yet appeared in print; at least not In its present shape. It was related by Captain Con Ouan, au aged and intelligent member of tho tribe, and was taken down from his lips by an interpreter for Judge Henry T. Backus, of Arizona Territory. Judge Backus has visited many of the places mentioned in th? legend, and has been an eye-witness of th? quadrennial feast still celebrated at thc cave, tie represents the Papagoesas being nominally Catholics, yet clinging to their na? tional traditions with great tenacity, and cher? ishing the memory of Montezuma with even ? mor*? than saintly veneration, The trad';loa of the deluge Is Interesting in Its relation to th" origin of the Indians of the country, and especially of the ancient tribes who lived in the twilight of civilization, until the Spanish Christians annihilated them. Did then bring tbis tradition with them from the Asiatic continent ? Or. did they come in con? tact with the people of the old world, antece? dent to any historical evidence of that -tact, from whom they derived this tradition ? -'These are inquiries naturally suggested by the following narrative. Montezuma, it will be understood, is not the monarch of that name whom Cortes dethroned. It is the gen? eric term of their rulers, like Pharaoh, Cesar, Jae. Before the flood men lived to a great age, so that they lost their teeth and crept about Uko children. After a time they would get new teeth, and walk uptight 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, animals talked like men, and were the first to tell of the ap? proaching flood. About this time appeared Montezuma, who collected a large quantity of j gum from a plant called chuchi, and with this gum, which. ls said to be insoluble In water, and with other materials, he built a large ves? sel, in which ne took refuge, closing and seal? ing the door behind him. In like manner a cayote or prairie dog crept Into a large cane stalk and closed the ends against the water. The flood came up to the highest mountains, and reached even the birds, which cried like men with fright. When the waters came down, Montezuma and the cayote landed at Cerro Prletta, which mountain some believe to be Montezuma^ vessel. According to another tradition they landed In the centre ot the earth, and, having come out of their vessels. Montezuma noticed the trail of a beetle, which he followed until he found the beetle last in the mud. Ho then turned back, and meeting the cayote, they em? braced each other In grief.' Montezuma sent the cayote southward to find the sea, which it soon found and returned, wheo lt was sent on the same errand to the northward, but re? turned unsuccessful. They then lay down to sleep, when Montezuma dreamed that he should form men and women ont of clay, whlea be accordingly did, making two for each cation. Meanwhile the cayote sat behind him also making men, but the latter were ill-form? ed, so that Montezuma ordered them to be re? moved. His own people multiplied rapidly, and built a largo city on the north, bank of a river, supposed to be at tho mouth of Salt River, In Arizona, where the remains of large ditches are still visible. Montezuma next travelled southward, fol? lowed by large numbers of people. In accord- j anee with a dream, he thrust a rod into the earth, and water flowed thence, which ls the origin of the springs at Santa Rosa and else? where. After a time the Great Spirit appear? ed to Montezuma as an old man, and asked to baptize the people, that they might live be? yond the sky after death, but 3Iontozuma be? came angry and killed the Great Spirit. Then the latter arose from the dead by night and repeated the request, when Montezuma grew angry again, declared 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 he was dragged about as a plaything for four years. He then re-1 turned to Heaven, removing the sun further | ?rom the earth as he ascended. After a long Interval he descended again with the same request as before. At this time Montezuma was living at the Caso Blanco, or white house, close to trie Pim o villages on tho Gila Biver. The Inside of this house was over? laid with pure gold. A third time he slew the t Great Spirit, but the latter now becoming an Ery, threw a louse Into Spain, which led to an tvaalon by the Spaniards. Twice did Monte? zuma meet and repel the invaders, but before ' the third engagement the golden ring flew from tho finger of hu- daughter to the finger of I the Spanish commander, t<nd the silver ring of the latter flew to the Anger of the former. Thus did she become-leagued with the enemy, and when they were out of provisions she prevailed upon her people to throw them to? mata* Instead of arrows, and thus they were lsd at Montezuma's expense. After many severe conflicts the Spaniards were victorious, when the traitorous princess demanded the hand of the commander in marriage. He agreed to this on condition that an eagle which hs set free should alight on a prickly pear tree. - The eagle did so, and the comman? der started to celebrate the marriage at the pear tree, being followed by a large train ot Papagoes; but, under the pretext of getting violins, powder, ?c., he travelled on and on until the Indians all deserted him. Henceforth, as the story goes. Montezuma made no Improvements, and his people were j scattered over the country. He afterward de? posited the archives of the Papago and Plmo nations in a cave near Santa Rosa, and order? ed that they celebrate a least there every fourth year, which custom is still observed. The nation gradually diminished, und Monte? zuma wandered about until the Indians have lost all traces of him. nnazzacTVAz OORMVPTION. [From the Saturday Review.] lt If curious to reflect how much an author may do to corrupt the heart or the head, and how he may nevertheless, so long as he does ! not sin in one point, escape all ceisure. If | he can only keep bis book free from what ls called Immorality-that ls to say, if he can either Ignore one side of human conduct al- ? together, or else only touch upon lt In tho recognized conventional manner-he may ?ve his readers tho falsest notions of human e, be may pervert their taste, he ma*y ren? der them as weak as sentimentality alono can render them, he may lead them to relish nothing that Is not seasoned with the most outrageous incidents and coincidences, and he pay still remain an author whose works would be placed by any mother in the hands of any daughter. It is strange how blind the respectable world usually is to all literary faults save one. So long as a book is not licentious, lt is held that lt cannot be a bad book. We are inclined to question, however, whether that which corrupts the intellect does not do as much harm as that which corrupts the so-called morality. The tendency ot a rat deal of the literature of the present day |0 give people a thoroughly ialse Idea of | life. Our novels, with their "sickly senlmen-1 tality, their morbid self-aualvsis, their hateful sensationalism, help to train *up a set of young meu and young women quite unfit for the humdrum duties and pleasures which must constitute the greater part of each one's Ufe. It ls not merely the rank and file of our novel? ists who ofleud. Their tendency is now, as lt always has been, merely to exaggerate tho errors of their chiefs. There is not oue of our leading novelists who has not much to answer for, and we hardly know on whom we should lay most blame. Mr. Dickens, perhaps, ranks ss the chief offender, for he it is who hus work? ed sentuueatality to such an extent as would have raised, if that were possible, a blush even on Sterne's brow. When the author of | the Sentimental Journey was going to play his tricks on his reader's eyes, at all events he chose as his subject a jackass, and a dead one too. If death is to Oe tricked out so as to work upon our emotions-if lt is to be con? stantly drawing upon our tears, we must con? fess that for our part we feel less after-shame Itt the ' tear we dropped over the defunct donkey than at those we have shed in turn* over Mr. Dicken?' long line of dying hayes. At all events, the Rev. Mr. Sterne orirv killed his donkey once; while Mr. Dickens will never once for ali kill o?r | Ms faverit? eharaeter-his half-Idiot er his sickly ehild-and so get done with him. We confess that, whenever we have begun one of Mr. Dickens* novels, we have not telt qidte easy in our minds till we have been able to discover which character lt is that has been brought Into this wond solely with the view of bein}: speedily ushered out of lt. His children, from little Dombey down? ward, might fairly rise up against him with the old reproachful question of the tombstone "What was I begun for To be so soon done for?" To Mr. Dickens the whole modern sentimen? tal school must certainly look up as its head. He has been the source of a great deal of most tearful writing; might we suggest, if he stands in need of a motto, that Hine Ufa lachrymal would be most appropriate ? Mr. Thackeray himself ls not free from the same charge. -He saw how easy the tear trick was to perform, and what applause greeted his great rival each time he r peated lt; unhappily he could not keep from trying it also. At Imitation, of course, Mr Thackeray was perfect, and we must allow that Colonel Newcomc's death quite equals, li lr does not actually surpass. Mr. Dickens' most lachrymose efforts. Ii Charles II. had live i now-a-days, he would scarcely have thought lt needful to apologize for being a most unconscionable time dying. The fashion bas changed, apparently, since his time, and few can now get their dying done under half a dozen pages or so. We altogether protest against these death-bed scenes; we have had enough of them, and more than enough. Henceforth, if a mau has to die, let him, like a wounded wild animal, creep off to some hiding-place where he may pass out of the world with dignity and alone. We have, un? happily, every year to read and to criticise a great many novels. We give fair notice that wo will not tolerate any more death-bod scenes, and more last dying speeches. Even our very executions are BOW private. Now that Jack Ketch does his business with dignity, lt is not too much to expect that our novelists should show some little respect both for themselves and their readers. We hold that this overstrained senti? mentality, sa far from widening and strength? ening a man's sympathies with his felkjw-crea tures, really narrows and weakens them. Th.i reader is so flattered by the tear he drops ove; tho Imaginary sorrow of some hero or heroine that he cannot but congratulate himself on the possession of a tender heart. His conscience remains satisfied with the sympathy he has felt for sufferings which have had no real exist? ence, and his charity has been sufficiently ex? ercised In tiie aid he longed to bestow on those who by no possibility could have been tho re? cipients.
