This Indian was not of roval par-
mage, but had risen from obscure
rlgin to his lofty j*osition solely on
his own merits; and being a proud
brave and dignified man. was some
what sensitive on the subject of his
lineage. On one occasion, his first
isit to Washington, his reputation
had preceded him and he received
marked attention from the dignitaries,
and was even invited to dine at the
White House. He accepted the invi
tation. and during the repast. Mrs.
Madison, the mistress of the presi
dent’s mansion at that time, manifest
ed a lively interest in him, making i
particular inquiries about his family. .
She was especially desirous of know- ’
ing whether he was able to trace back
his ancestry ft»r many generations .
through a lineage of distinguished ,
chiefs. j
His countenance clouded and as- ;
sumed a stern expression of displeas- ;
ure at these interrogatories, and for j
some time he made no reply, hut a* j
ength he said:
" Push-ina-ta-ha-ha was not horn lik** I
common mortals, and he never knew j
father or mother. Hut on one bright i
and beautiful summer's night, when !
all nature was hushed in profound
and silent repose, suddenly a dee.i
ound was heard approaching lik** th**
rumbling of distant thunder, soon th**
sky became dark and lowering; heavy
clouds, driven by a furious tempest
piled upon each other in the lol'ties*

"Push-ma-ta-ha-ha was a warrior of

The inscription on the east sid**
states that th** monument was erected
to the memory of Push-ma-ta-ha-ha by
