Th? Story of tho Deluge on tliU Con?
Uncut.
The folioing rather singular tradition which
exists among tho I'opsgo Indians respecting
Montezuma, their rounder, ami tin; deluge, has,
wo believe, never yoi appeared In print; at least
not In Us present shape. Il was related by
Captain Con Cuan, an aged and intelligent
member of thc tribe, and was taken down
from lils Ups by nn interpreter for Judge Henry
T. Backus, ol'Arizona Territory. Judge Hack us
has visited many of the places tnentloued In
tho legend, and has boen au eye-witness of
tho quadrennial feast sllll celebrated nt thc
oave. Ho represents thc I'apagoes as being
nominally Catholics, yet clinging to their na?
tional tradition^ with great tenacity, and cher?
ishing tho memory of SIont"T.uma with avon
moro than saintly veneration.
The tradition of tho deluge ls interesting In
Its relation to tho oriirln or the Indians of tho
countrv, and especially of tho ancient tribes
who lived in the twilight of civilisation, until
the Spanish Christians annihilated thom. Did
they bring this tradition with Hiern from the
Asiatic continent? Or. did thoy come in con?
tact with Hie people of Ute old world, antece?
dent to any historical evidence ol that lact.
from whom they derived this tradition ?
These arc Inquiries naturally suggested bv
tho following narrative. Montezuma, lt will
be understood, ls uni the monarch of that
name whom Cortes dethroned, lt ls tho gen?
eric term of their rulers, Uko Pharaoh, Casar,
Ac.
Beforo the Hood mon lived lo a croat age, so
that they lost their tooth and crept about liku
children. Aller a time they would get new
teeth, and walk upright again Uko men In the
Erlmo or life. Then lt was that the Croat
pirie created thc mountains and peopled the
earth on all sides. Then, loo, annuals talked
Ukc men, and were the first lo tell or thc ap?
proaching flood. About this, time appeared
Montezuma, who collected a large quantity of
gum from a plant called chuchi, and with this
gum, which ls said lo bc insoluble in water.
. and with other materials, he bulli a largo ves?
sel, In which ho took refuge, closing and seal?
ing thc door behind him. In like manner a
cayote or prairie dog crept into a large cano
stalk and closed the ends against the waler.
The flood came up lo the ide nest mountains,
and reached even thc birds, which cried Uko
men with fright. When thc waters came down,
Montezuma aud the cayote landed at Corra
Prietta, which mountain some believe to be
Montezuma's vessel.
Aceordlng 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 bc followed until he
found tho beetle fad In Hie mini. He then
turned back, and meeting tho cayote, they em?
braced each other In grief Montezuma ?eut
tho cayote southward to find thc sea, which lt
soon found and returned, when lt waa sont ou
th? samo errand to the northward, bul re?
turned unsuccessful. They then lav down to
sleep, when Montezuma dreamed that he
should form men and women out of olny,
which he accordingly did. making two for each
nation. Meanwhile the carole sat behind bim
also making men, bul. the latter were Ill-form
ed, BO that Montezuma ordered them to be re?
moved. His own people multiplied rapidly,
and built a large elly ou the north bank of a
river, supposed to bc nt the mouth of Salt
River, In Arizona, where tho remains ol' large
ditches aro sllll visible.
Montezuma next travelled southward, fol?
lowed by large numbers of people. In accord?
ance with a dream, ho thrust a rod lulu the
earth, and water (lowed thence, which is thu
origin or Hie springs nt Sania Rosa ami else?
where. Aflora time tho Great Spirit appear-I
ed to Montezuma ns un old man, and asked to
baptize the people, that they might live be- j
yond thc sky aller death, but Montezuma be?
came angry und killed Ibo Groat Spirit. Thou
thc latter arose from the dead by night and
repeated tho request, when Montezuma grew
angry again, declared that ho would take
his people to Heaven by a low er, and killed
tho Great Spirit a second lime, leaving bim
on the ground, where he was dragged about
asa plaything for four years. Ho thou re-1
turned to Heaven, removing ibo .un Umher I
from tte earth as he ascended.
After a long Interval ho descended again
with thc same request as before. At this time
Montezuma was living at the Cnso Blanco, or
white house, elosu to Hie Plmo villages on the
Gila River. The inside of this house was over?
laid with pure gold. A third Hmo he slew the
Oreat Spirit, but thc latter now becoming an
?ry, threw a loase Into Spain, which led to au
ivaslon by thc Spaniards. ' Twice did Monte?
zuma meet and repel the Invaders, bul before
the third engagement thc golden ring Hew
from the Unger of his daughter lo the linger of
the Spanish commander, and tho silver ring of
the latter flew to the Unger of tho former.
Thus did she become leagued with Hie enemy,
and when they were oui of provisions sue
prevailed upon her people to throw thom t??
males Instead ol' arrows, and thus they were
led at Montezuma's expense. After many
severe conUlcls thc Spaniards were victorious,
when the traitorous princess demanded thc
band of the commander In marriage. He
.agreed to this on condition that au eagle
which he set free should alight on a prickly
pear tree. Tho eagle tlid so, aud tho comman?
der started to cel?brale the marriage al the
pear tree, being followed by a largo train ol
Papagoes; but, under the pretext of getting
violins, powder, Ac, lie travelled on aud on
until the Indians nil deserted him.
Hencelorth, ns the story goos. Montezuma
made no improvements, and Iiis people were
scattered over the country. He nllerward de?
posited the archives of the Pap ago and Puno
nations In a cuve near Santa Rosa, and order?
ed-that they celebrate a least lhere every
lourth year, which custom ls still observed.
The nation gradually diminished, and .Monte?
zuma wandered about until ibu Iudlans have
lost all traces of bim.
IXTXLLXVTVAL COJlJiUt'TIOX.
[From the Saturday Review.]
rt is curious to rctlcct how much aa author
may do to corrupt thc heart ortho head, and
how he may nevertheless, so long us be does
not sin In one point, escape all cea sn re. If
be can only keep his book freu from what la
called Immorality-that ls lo say, ir be cnn
either lguore one side or human conduct al?
together, or else ouly touch upon lt In the
recognized conventional manner-bc mny
give nie readers the falsest notions of human
ute, ho may pervert their taste, he may ren?
der them ns weak as sentimentality alono
can render them, he may lend them lo relish
nothing that la not seasoned willi tho most
outrageous Incidents and coincidences, and
he may still remain an author whoso works
would bc placed by any motlier In the hands
or any daughter. Ills strange bow blind the
respectable world usually ls to all literary
faults save ono. So long ns a book ls not
licentious, lt ls held that it cannot bc a bad
book. We arc Inclined to question, however,
whether that which corrupts Hie Intellect docs
not do as much bonn as Hint which corrupts
the so-called mornllty. The tendency of a
great deal of tho literature of Ibo present day
ls to give people a thoroughly tulse Idea of
life. Our novels, with their sickly scnilmon
tality, their morbid self-analysis, their hateful
sensationalism, help to train up n set of young
raep and young women quito unlit lor tho
humdrum dulles mid pleasures which must
constitute the grcaler part or ench one's Ufo.
It is not merely thc rank und Alu of our novel?
ists who offend. Their tcmloucy ls now, ns it
always has boen, merely ' to exaggerate the
errors of their chiefs. There ls not one of our
leading novelists who has not much lo answer
for, aud we hardly know on whom we should
lay most blamo. Mr. Dickens, perhaps, ranks
as tho chief offender, fur he Ills who bas work?
ed eon timentul I ty lo such an extent as would
have raised, If Hutt were possible, a blush
even on Sterne's brow. When tho author of
the Sentimental Journey was going to play his
tricks on his reader's eyes, al all events he
chose as his subject a Jackass, and a dead one
too. If death ls to be tncketl out so us io
work upon our emotions -If ii is io be con?
stantly drawing upon our tears, wc must con?
fess that for our part wc feel less after-shame
at the tear we dropped over the defunct
donkey than at those we have shed In
turn over Mr. Dickens' long Uno or dying
heroes. At all events, the Rev. Mr. Sterne
only killed his donkey once; while Mr.
Dickens will never once for all kill off
hi? favorito charsotor-hls hulf-ldlot or his
sickly child-and so got dono with him. W o
confess that, whenever wo have begun
ono of Mr. Diekens' novels, we havo not
hilt quite easy in our minds till we have
been aide lo discover which character lt ls
that bas beon brought Into this world solely
with the view of being speedily ushered out of
ll. Ills children, from lillie Dombey down?
ward, might fairly rise up against him with
tho old reproachful question of tho tombutono
"What was I begun for
To be so toon doue for?"
To Mr. Dickens the whole modern sentimen?
tal school must certainly look up ns Ita head.
He has been the sourco of a groat deal or most,
tearful writing; might we suggest. If he stands
In need ol' amollo, that Hmo llb?lachrymal
would be most, appropriator Mr. Thackeray
himself ls nol free from tho same charge. He
?aw how easy the tear trick was to perform, and
what applause greeted his great rival each time
he r pealed ll ; unhappily he could not keep
rrom trying it also. Al imitation, of course,
Mr Thackeray was perfect, and we must allow
that Colonel Newcomc's death quito equals, it
it does not actually surpass, Mr. Dickens'
most lachrymose efforts. H Charles II. hnd
live t now-a-days, bo would scarcely have
thought it needful to apologize for being a
most unconscionable time dying. The fashion
has changed, apparently, since his lime, and
few can now gel their "dying done under half
ado/.eti pages or so. Wo altogether protest
ngalusl those death-bed scenes; wo have had
enough of them, and more than enough.
Henceforth, If a man has to die, let him, like
a wounded wild intimal, creep on* to some
hiding-place where he may pass out of the
world with dignity aud alouo. We have, un?
happily, every year to read and to criticise a
great "many novels. Wo glvu fair notice thal
we will not tolerate any more denth-bed
?conos, and more last dying speeches, liven
our very executions are now private. Kow
thal .lack Ketch does his business willi
dignity, it is not too much to expect
thal dur novelists should show tomi:
little respect both for themselves nnd their
readers. We hold that this overstrained senti?
mentality, so Tar from widening and strength?
ening ll man's sympathies with his fellow-crea?
tures, really narrows and weakens then. The
reader ls so fluttered by thc tear he drops over
Hie Imaginary sorrow of some hero or heroine
that he cannot bul congratulate himself on thc
possession ol a lender heart. Ills conscience
remains satisfied with tho sympathy he bas felt
for sufferings which have had no real exist?
ence, and his charily has been sutllciently ex?
ercised in Ibo aid bc longed to bestow on those
who by no possibility could have bean thu re?
cipients.
