LEGEND OF THE DALLES.
[From Maj. Winthrop’s Canoe and Saddle.]
'The Dalles of the Columbia, upOn
which I was now.lcoking, must be stud-
ied by the Yankee Dantee, whenever. he
comes, for imagery to construct his Pur-
gatory, if not his Inferno. At Walla
Clark’s Ford.
north and south, unite to form the Colum-
bia. It flows furiously for a hundred and
twenty miles Westward. When it reach-
where the outlying ridges of the Cascade
chain commence, it finds a great, low sur-
of basaltic rock. These plates, Gallice
duller, give the spot the name. Cana-
dian voyagers in the Hudson‘s Bay ser-
vice had a share in the nomenclature of
Oregon. The great river, a mile .wide
not far above, finds but a narrow rift .111-
this pavement for its passage. The rift
gradually draws its sides closer, and at
the spot now called the Dulles, subdiVides
into three more slits in the sharp-edged
rock. At the highest water there are
other minor channels, but generally this
continual flood is cribbed and compressed
within three chasms suddenly opening in
the level floor, each chasm hardly wider
than a leap a hunted fiend might take.
In fact, the legend of this infernal
spot asserts a diabolical origin for these
channels in the Dulles. I give this
weird and grotesque attempt at explain-
ing strange facts in Nature,.translating it
into more modern form.
THE LEGEND OF THE DALLEs.
The world has been long cycles in ed-
ucating itself to be a fit abode for men.
Man, for his part, has been long ages in
growing upward through lower grades of
being, to become whatever he may be.
The globe was once nebulous, was chaot-
ic, was anarchic, and is at last become
somewhat cosmical. Formerly rude and'
convulsionary forces were actively at
work, to compel chaos into anarchy and
‘hnarchy into order. The mighty minis-
tries of the elements warred with each
other, each subduing and each subdued.
There were earthquakes, deluges, prime-
val storms,and furious volcanic outbursts.
In this passionate, uncontrolled period of
the world’s history, man was a fiend,
a. highly uncivilized, cruel, passion-
ate fiend.
The Northwest was then one of the cen-
tres of volcanic action. The craters of
the Cascades were fire-breakers, fountains
of liquid flame, catapults of red-hot
stones. Day was lurid, night was ghastly
with this terrible light. Bien exposed to
such dread influences could not be other
than fiends, as they were, and they war-
red together cruelly, as the elements were
doing.
Where the great plains of the Upper
Columbia now spread, along the Umatil-
lab, in the lovely valley of the Grande
Ronde, between the walls of the Grande
Coulee, was an enormous inland sea, fill-
ing the vast interior of the continent, and
beating forever against a rampart of
hills, to the east of the desolate plain of
the Dulles.
Every winter \there were convulsions
along the Cascades, and gushes of lava
came from each fiery Tacoma, to spread
.new desolation over desolation, pouring
out a melted surface,‘whieh, as it cooled
in summer, became a fresh layer Of- sheeny,
fire-hardened dalles.
Now as the fiends of that epoch and
region had giant power to harm each
other, they must have of course giant
weapOns of_ defence. Their mightiest
weapon of Offence and defence was tail ;
in this they resembled the iguanodons
and other “mud pythons” of that period,
but no other animal ever had such force
of fail as these terrible, monster fiend-
men who warred together over all the
Northwest.
As ages went on, and the fires of the
Cascades began to accomplish their duty
of expanding the world, earthquakes and
eruptions diminished in virulence. A win-
ter came when there was none. By and
by there ~ was an interval of two years,
then again of three years, without rum-
ble .or shock, without floods of fire or
showers of red hod stones. Each seemed
to be Siib~iding into an era of peace.
But the fiends would not take the hint
to be peaceable ; they warred 'as furi-
ously as ever. .
Stoutest in heart and tail of all the
hostile tribesof that scathed region was
a wise fiend, the Devil. He had observ-
ed the cessation in convulsions of Nature,
and had begun to think out its lesson. It
was a custom of the fiends, so soon as
the Dalles plain became agreeably cool
after an eruption, to meet there every
summer and have a grand tournament
after their fashion. Then they feasted
riotously, and fought again until they
were weary. ‘
Although the eruptions of the T'acomas
had ceased now for three years, as each
summer came round this festival was re-
newed. The Devil had absented himself
from the last two, and when, on the third
summer after his long retirement, he re-
appeared among his race ou the field of
tourney, he became an object of respect-
ful attention. Every fiend knew that
against his strength there was no de-
fence; he could slay so long as the fit
was on. Yet the idea’of combined re-
sistance to so dread a foe had never
hatched itself in any fiendish head ; and
besides, the Devil, though he was feared,
was not especially hated. He had never
won the jealously of his peers by rising
above them in morality. So now as he
approached, with bravo tail vibrating
proudly, all admired and many feared
him.
The Devil drew near, and took the in-
itiative in war, by 'making a peace speech.
“ Princes, potentates, and powers of
these infernal realms,” said he, “ the
eruptions and earthquakes are ceasing.
The elements are settling into peaceful-
ness. Can We not learn of them? Let
us give up war and cannibalism, and live
in milder fiendishness and growing love.”
Then went up a howl from deviltry.
“He would lull us into crafty peace,
that he may kill and eat safely. Death!
death to the traitor! ”
And all the legions of fiends, acting
with a rare unanimity, made straight at
their intended Reformer.
The Devil pursued a Fabian policy,
and took to his heels. ” If he could divide
their forces, he could conquer in detail.
Yet as he ran his heart was heavy. He
was bitterly grieved at this great failure,
his first experience in the difficulties of
. I - __ . _ , :::I's_‘:-._.
over the Dulles, toward the defiles near
the great inland sea, whcsc roaring waves
he could hear beating against their but
work. Could he but reach some craggy
strait among the passer, lic could take
position and defy attack.
But the foremost fiends were close up-
on him. Without. smpping, he smote
powerfully upon the rock with his tail.
The pavement yielded to that ’l‘itanic
blow. A chasm opened and went riving
up the valley, piercing through the bul
wark hills. Down rushed the waters of
the inland sea, churning boulders to dust
along the narrow trough.
The main body of the fiends shrunk
back terror-stricken; but a battalion of
the van sprang across and made one
bound toward the heart-sick and fainting
Devil. He smote again with his tail,
and more strongly. Another vaster cleft
went up and down the valley, With an
.earthquaking roar, and a vaster torrent
swept along. "
Still the leading fiends were not appal-
led. They took the leap without craning.
Many fell short, or were crowded into
the roaring gulf, but enough were left,
and those of the chiefest braves, to mar-
tyr their chase in one instant, if they
ovtrtook him. The Devil bad just time
enough to tap once more, and with all the
vigor of a despairing tail.
He was safe. A third crevice, twice
the width of the second, split the rocks.
This way and that it went, wavering like
lightning eastward and westward, riving
a deeper cleft in‘ the mountains that held
back the inland sea, riving a vaster gorge
through the majestic chain of the Cas-
cades, and opening a Way for the torrent.
to gush onward. It was the crack of
doom for the fiends. A few assayed the
leap. They fell far short of the stern
edge, where the Devil had sunk panting.
They alighted on the water, but whirl-
pools tripped them up, tossed them, bowl~
ed them along among floating boulders,
until the buffeted matches were borne to
the broader calms below, whel'e they
sunk. Meanwhile, those who had not
dared the final-leap attempted a back-
ward one, but wanting the impetus of
pursuit, and’ shuddering "at the fate of
their comrades, every one of them failed
and fell short; and they too were swept
away, horribly sprawling in the flood.
As to the fiends who had stopped at
the first crevice, they ran in a body'down
the river to look for the mangled remains
of their brethren, and the undermined
bank giving away under their weight,
every fiend of them was carried away and
drowned.
So perished the whole race of fiends.
As to the Devil, he had learnt a still
deeper lesson. His tail also, the ensign
of dcviltry, was irredemediably dislocated
by his last life-saving blow. In fact, it
had ceased to be any longer a needful
weapon! its antagonists were all gone;
never a tail remained to be brandished
at it in deadly encounter.
So, after due repose, the Devil Sprang
lightly across the chasm he had so suc-
cessfully engineered, and went home to
rear his family thoughtfully. Every year
he brought his children down to the
Dulles, and told them the terrible history
of his escape. The fires of the Cascades
burned away; the inland sea was drained,
and its bed became fair prairie, and still
the waters gushed along the narrow crc-
vices he had opened. He had, in fact,
been the instrument in changinga Vast
region from a barren sea into habitable
land.
One great trial, however, remained
with him, and made his life one grave
responsibility. All his children born be-
fore the catastrophyiwere cannibal. stiff-
tailed fiends. After that great event,
every new-born imp of his was like him-
self iu character and person, and wore
but a flaccid tail, the last insignium of ig-
no'oility. Quarrels between these two
factions imbittered his days and impeded
civilization. Still it did not advance, and
'long before his death he: saw the tails
disappear forever.
Such is the Legend of the Dulles—a
legend not without a moral.

CEMENT ROOFING.
THIS article has been thoroughly tested by
builders, Architects, and others, and the
experience ofycars has proved it to be the
cheapest and most. durable roofing in use.
We call attention to the following facts:
1st———It is fire and waterproof.
2d—From its great elasticity it is not inju-
riously affected by extremes of heat and cold.
3d——It is adapted to all kinds of Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs.
4th—The cost is only about One-Half that
of Tin, and it is twice as durable.
It is readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs,
Without removing the shingles, which is a
great dcsideratuni to parties who do not wish
to risk having their ceilings and furniture ru-
ined, while repairs are being made.
Leaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily re-
paired with Gutta Pcrclia Cement, and
prevented from further corrosion and leaking
thereby insuring a perfectly water-tight roof
or many years.
Specimens of the Roofing can be seen by
calling on the subscriber, at South Norwalk.

1841, now in itsowcuty-second year, has ob-
tained both a larger and a more widely dif-

Pro-eminently a journal of News and of Lit-

single word REPUBLICAN. It is Republican
in its hearty adhesion to the great truth that
“God has made of one blood all nations of

equal and inalienable rights of all men to
“life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”-

hostility to every scheme and effort of the
Slave power, from the Annexation of Texas
to the great Rebellion, to grasp the empire of

thrust upon us by their American counter-
part the overlhrow and ruin of the Model
Republic—Republican in its hope and trust,
its faith and efforts, that this atrocious Re-
bellion must resultain the signal overthrow
of its plotters, and the firm establishment of
equal rights and equal laws throughout the
Whole extent of our country, wherein Lib-
erty and Union shall indeed be “ one and in-
separable” henceforth and forever.
THE TRIBUNE devotes attention in calmer
times, and to some extent in these, to Edu-
cation, Temperance, Agriculturc, Inventions,
and whatever else may minister to the spir-
itual and material progress and well-being
of mankind; but for the. prcsant its energies
and its columns are mainly devoted to the in-
vigoration and success of the War for the
Union. Its special correspondents accom-
pany every considerable army and report
every important incident of that great strug-
gle which we trust is soon to result in the
signal and conclusive triumph of the Nation-
al arms and in the restoration of Peace and
‘l‘brift to our distracted, bleeding country.
We believe that no otherwise can a fuller or
more accurate view of the progress and char-
acter of this momentous conflict be obtained
than through the regular perusal of our col-
umns. And we earnestly solicit the co-ope-
ration of all friends of the National cause,
which we regard and uphold as that of Uni-
versal Humanity, to aid us in extending its
circulation.

FOR 1863.
GREAT LITERARY AND PICTORIAI. YEAR.
'I‘HE publisher of GODiav’s LADir’s Boox,
thankful to-that public which has en—
ablcd him to publish a magazine for the} last
thirty-three yam-s of a larger circulation than
any in America, has made an arrangement
with the most popular authoress in the coun-
try—MARION HARLAND, authorcss of ‘Alone,’
‘Hiddcn Path,’ ‘Moss Side,’ ‘Nemesis,’ and
‘Miriam,’ who will furnish a story for every
number of the Lady’s Book for 1863. This
alone Will place the Ladv’s Book in a lite-
rary point Of‘ view, far ahead of any other
magazine. Marion Harland writes ' for no
other puplication. Our other favorite writ-
ers Will all continue to furnish articles through
out the year. The best Ladies’ Magazine in
the world, and the cheapest—The literature
is of that kind that can be read aloud in the
family circle, and the clergy in immense num-
bers are subscribers for the Book—The mu—
sic is all original, and would cost 25 cents
(the price of the book) in the music stores;
but most of it is copyrighted, and cannot be
obtained except in “Godey.”—-All efforts to
rival us in our steel engravings have ceased,
and we now stand alone in this department,
giving, as we do, many more and infinitely
better engravings than are published in any
other work. Godey’s immense double sheet
fashion-plates, containing from five to seven
full length colored fashions on each plate.—
Other magazines give only two. Far ahead
of any fashions in Europe or America.
TERMS, cash in advance. One copy one
year, $3. TWO copies one year, $5. Three
copies one year, $6. Four copies one year,
$7. Five copies one year, and an extra copy
to the person sending the club, $10. Eight
copies one year, and an extra copy to the
person sending the club, $15. Eleven copies
one year, and an extra copy to the person
sending the club, $20. And the only maga-
zine tliat can be introduced into the above
clubs in place of the Lady’s Book is Arthur’s
Home Magazine.
SPECIAL CLURBING WITH OTHER MAGAZINES.
Godey’s Lady’s Book and Arthur’s Home
Magazine both one year for $3 50. Godey’s
Lady’s Book and Harper’s Magazine both

RUNNING STITCH
SEWING MACHINE.
It is a PRACTICAL, RAPID, EFFICIENT and
DURARLE SEWING MACHINE, adrpted to a
large pIOportion of FAMILY SEWING, or for
manufacturing purposes, and is highly orna-
mental, and is so light and portable, (weigh-
ing less than one pound) that it can be con-
veniently carried in the pocket or reticule.
Its Operation is so very SIMPLE that it re-
quires but a. slight degree of judgment to
use it. -
By the simple turning of a crank with one
hand, and guiding the work with the other,
it silently yet very rapidly With a COMMON
NEEDLE makes the running stitch EXACTLY
LIKE HAND SEWING, only more perfect and
regular.
' It will HEM, GATIIRR, RUFFLE, sHIRR, TUUK,
RUN UP BREADTIIs, etc., with a single or
double thread on any material adapted to
the RUNNiNG STITCH, from the IJGRTEsT
and THINEST up to two thicknesses of ordi-
nary silk or muslin. The thinnest, usually
the most difficult to stitch by other sewing
machines, being stewed the easiest. For la-
dies’ and children’s apparel, and other arti-
cles made of light fabrics,-it Will therefore be
found almost INVALUABLE.
It is attached to the table like a sewing
bird, and having no tension, and requiring
no lubrication or change of stitch, is always
ready for operation, and such a marvel of
simplicity that a child of six or eight years
can UNDERSTAND it immediately, and use it.
SUCCESSFULLY.
It is not at all liable to get out of order.
Each machine is put up in a neat box, ac-
companied with full and, explicit directions
and twenty-five needles.
Sent to any address in the United States
on receipt of an order, inclosing the amount,
or may be collected by Express on delivery
of the machine.
Agents wanted every where, to whom the
most liberal inducements will be Offered.
For particulars, specimens of sewing, etc,
send a stamp for return postage. Address
MME. DEMOREST. NO. 473 Broadway, N. Y.
W Every Lady, Mother, Milliner, and
Dress-maker, should have one of these valu-
able Sewing Machines.

From the commenccmcnt, in 1857, the AT-

and it now has the largest class of readers
smcc its beginning, five years ago. Its pros-
perity steadily augments, and it cOntinues,

dent to our national crisis, to gain ground in
the estimation of the public. At a time so
pregnant with events which touch the future
destinies of Americain every vital particular,
the Publishers and Editors do not deem it
necessary to promise that its pages will nev-
er swerve from the honest paths of loyal pa-
triotism and universal freedom. Its opinions
have always been on the side of Liberty,
Progress, and Right, and the course it first
adopted in its early career, will ever be faith-
ful'iy maintained.

Sales of Webster’s Dictionaries.
From certain published statements of the
leading booksellers from every part of the
country. it would seem that the sales of the
various editions of Webster‘s Dictionaries
are enormous, exceeding many times the
sales of all other dictionaries put together.
We learn that there are five different... edi-
tions of our great American lexicographer
now published in England, besides several
English dictionaries which are confessedly
based on Webster. A recent article in the
London Critic admits that the orthography
of Webster’s Dictionary is all but universal
in the United States. '
