A LEGEND OF TlUt A LLEQ1I ANY RIVER.
M?ny of the wild legends of border strife
rniui Indian barbarity that havo been enacted
along th#bhoics of the Alleghany and Ohio
have never been rescued from tho dim and
fading remembrances of a past age. Hut
occasional! 7 R'Story of thrilling interest' is
snatched from tho lingering records of tho
-red man.
The story I am jibout to relate I received
from an old Indian pilot of tho Alleghany.
It was many yoara,*go, when that stefn old
^ chief, (Ami planter, (whoso remains now repose
in silence add loneliness on the banks
of that beauteous rivei lie loved so well,) was
'"in his glory. His tribe roamed ovor the
dense and unbroken forest along its banks,
fearless, unmolested and free.
_ Ilis pcoplo were hostile to tho whites, and
never lost any opportunity to lio in ambush
and seize the lonely voyager as he descended
tho river, and consign him to tho stake "and
the torture. But tho watchful, shrewd and
deadly foe of Coriudantcr and., the whole
' twany race' was tho indomitable nnd fearlens
Captain Samuel Brady. This yetran
pioneer and Indian hunter was ono of those
noble specimens of the hardy foresters who
plunged fearlessly into the interminable forests
that then overspread so large a portion
of the Western States.
Lilke Danel Boon, Lewis Wetzel, Simon
Kenton, and others, who made Indian hunting
a pas* time, his deadly hate of tho Indians,
aud bis burning passion for hunting
them down, amounted to a monomania.?
This hatred was in consequence of tho wrongs
they had inflicted upon his family?his
father, Captain John Brady, and his brother
having fallenviclims to the tomahawk and
scalping knife.
Tdie scene o# tlio present story is at a
place known to boatmen and raftmen as
' Brady's Bend,' and where now tho noise
ami bustle of a new manufactoring town
called the 4 Great Western' resounds along
the shores that then echoed only to the
whoop of tho savage or tho panther's
scream.
It!* a bend in the river of nine miles in
length, and is sometimes called tlio 1 Mine
inile liendtf and is scarcely Italf a milo acCross
UiaJtibck. Here in this bend, Oorn'?^BgraVm/T.cd

priwimin, vj m i?jj "ioui iv ns umuv new,
irbilo hjp swarthy and hideously-painted
followers wore busy in making preparations
for tbo faggot ami the torture.
The stake was erected and tbo faggofcj
prepared with all the coolness nnd retine,
v raont of Indian barbarity. It was a beautiful
evening; tbo sun was just sinking bo,^'JWM

and led forth to the place of torture. At
tlii* moment, a voice, high up among the
frowning rocks that loomed out from the
thick hemlocks that crowned the hill opposite,
hailed Cornnlanter in the Iud:an tongue,
informing him tliat4 ho an Indian warrior,
just returned from the war-path' with a j
goodly number of prisoners.' ^ *
lie desired that the ceremoni^LpC^JufTbrturo
might he suspended until ho^puld ford
the river and joia^iein, when 4kcy would
celebrate the occasion with unusual demonstrations
of savage rejoicings. To tlili Corn- <
planter consented. The flames that had
been kindled were extinguished, and the
prisoners again bound to the trees.
In the meantime, Brady, for it was he
who hud deceived the wild Indian, with a
body of men moved silently up the river to
a place known as 4 Truby's liipplo,' and there
fording tho river, drew his men up across the
nock of tho bend, and moved noiselessly
down upon the savages. So cautious was
his approach that the Indians were completely
cut off from retreat beforo they became
alarmed. *
Brady's men hemmed them in from boI
i 1 V ft - il- . ? l? l 11 "1 ?_ *
uiiiu, wniie me /vnegnany rouoa in iront.
The first intimation to the savages of his
approach was communicated by a deadly
discharge from his unerring ritlos. The Indians
fought with desperat'on, but were overpowered
; all were killed or taken prisoners
save the chief, Complantor, who, finding
himself alone, plunged into the river, and
swain for the shore.
Being a good swimmer, lie remained several
minutes under water, but as ho rose for
breath, he wns greeted with a shower of bullets.
In this way, alternately swiming under
tho water as long as he could held
his breath, and then rising to the surface, he
escaped?uuhurt, and reaching tho other shore
in safety, secreted himself behind a Urge
standing rock.
Tho prisoners were of course unbound,
and all joined in the jollification and joy at
the timely and unlooked for release. Tho
rock that shielded Cornplanter from Brady's
bullets was pointed out to mo by the old In-,
dian, in a recent trip down this river. It fs

Known ii? - v^ornpianiera Koctc.' l iie old
Indian gave me the story with n sad and dejected
countenance, in broken English.
Alas! what a changol Where tlien the
sheeny tide of the beauteous Alleghany parted
only to tho'swift-skimming birchen canoe
and echoed to tho wild voices that catno out
of tho deiiso dark forest, now is heard the
shrill whittle of tho steam-pipe and the
rushing of t\e steamer. Where tho tawny
savage then reclined upon the shady banks
from his pursuit of the deer, tho panther and
tho bear, or rested from the war-path, is now
tho scene of life and activity.
The tall old forest has receded from bofore
tho advance of civilization, and given
placo to farms, beautiful villas and bustling
towns. The Indian, too* has passed awav ;
but a few, and, and thoy but miserable decaying
relics of what they once wero, aro
now occasionally seen, tho defendants of tho
proud race that once could call those hills,
and groves, and rivers all their own. Alas!
in tho language of the pcet:
' Cheiftnin* aud their tribes have perished,
Like the thickets where they grew.'
J he kitchen
We give to intellect, to immortality, to
religion, ond to all tho virtues, tho honor
that belongs to them. And still it may be
boldly affirmed, that economy, taste, skill,
and neatness, in the kitcben, have a great
deal to do in making life happy and pros
pel uus,
Nor is it indispensably necessary that a
house should bo tilled with Injuries. Ail
the qualifications for good houso keeping
can be displayed as well on a small scale as
on a large one.
A small I10U60 can be moro easily kept
clean than a palace. Economy is most needed
in the absccnce of abundanco.
Taste is a well sdisplayed in placing the
dishes on a pine table, as in arranging the
folds of a damask curtain.
And skillful cooking is as readily discovered
in a nice baked p >tatue, or in a respectable
johnyenke as in a nutbrown sirloin, or
n brace of canvass decks
The charm of good housekeeping is in j
tho order, economy, and taste displayed in
attention to little things. And these little
things have a wonderful influence.
A dirty kitchen and bad cooking have
driven mpov a one from home, to seek for
comfort happiness somewhere else.
Domestic economy is a Science?a theory
of lift, which all scnsiblo wouien ought
to &ti|dy, and prn<gice. None of Our excelled
girls are tit to bo married, until thoy
are thoroughly educated in the deep and
profound mysteries of tho kitchen.
See to it, all ye who are mothers, that
youf dnughtcis arc all accomplished by an
cxperimciro! knowledge of good ho use keeping.?

that is, earth mixed witu animator vegetable

tor, Mrs. David S. Jones. She was in the
73d year of her age. It will be re in cm bored
that Mrs. Clinton received severe injuries
some months ngo, whi oin New York,
by the runing away of the horses attached J
to her carriage. A writer in the Express
says of her:
1 This lady was onco one of the most distinguished
of the New York helles, and ligured
largely in the days of the Whites and (
tho Bayards and Lc ltoys, K!ie had a com-1
man ding appearance, aulT" was almost hand-,
sonic. As ilic wife of 3.)o Witt Clinton, one
of the greatest of our public men, and certainly
the most distinguished of our our governors,
she was conciliatory, attractive and
influential. Her repartees aud her ton mots
were much admired, and she was a terror to
all who fuclicioualjt opposed tho policy or
disputed the ability of her husband. She
made friends for hint every where, and gave
to his frank and often brusque manner such
a turn as to make it harmless. Governor j
Clinton bad that fault, but it was his only
one. In the administration of her domestic
qffAirs, Mrs. Clinton was admirable, and
exercised a grace not beyond but within the
reach of refined arts, and for a lour? tima
tho executive mansion was the scat of elegant
hospitality and the most refined observances.
On the memorable occasion of the
Governor's sudden death, Mrs. Clinton was i
at an evening party at Mr. Win. Duer's,
and the shock of its announcement almost
destroyed her. Tho writer happened to be
in Albany at the time, and was on his way
to tho Governor's mansion, by special invitation,
when the catastrophe took place. Mrs.
Clinton was brought homo in a condition
l>ordering on in insanity. It is <luc to
her memory to say that slie never in after
life forgot what belonged to his great and
exalted worth, nor to herself, as his trusted
and most valued friend, llor maiden name
was Jones, and as Miss Kitty Jones she was '
celebrated and admired.'

Tick Bourdons.?Tlio Paris correspondent
of the Doily jVWrs writes :?It is positively
stated in legitimist Cliques that the
Count <lc Paris is at this moment at Frolisdorflf,
whither he lias gene <5f his own accord
to negotiate the 'fusion' with his cousin.
Some sav that he has taken this step in
spite of the Duchess of .Orleans, and represent
him as having in fact eloped from the
maternal roof. I am moro inclined to think
(assuming the news to be true) that the
Burbons are merely playing out a family
comedy which has been arranged beforehand,
In answer to all the overtures made by the
heads of the legitimist party to obtain from
the Oilcans branch the acknowledgment
of the Count do Chambord as the solo head
of the house, the Dutchess of Oileaus has
in recent times made but one answer: 'I
cannot take upon myself to prejudice the
l ights of my son : wlien he comes of ago
bo shall decide for himself.' The Count do
Paris, who was born in 1837, attained the
nge of 18?that is to say, his majority as a
royal prince?but a few days ago; and it is
very probable that lie may have decided to
merge his individual pretentions in the bono
of strengthening the influence of his family
Such an event, although not of thrilling interest
for the moment, would not be unimportant
