When General Wayne was holding his treaty with the Indians at Greenville,
a young chief sat down at the dinner table, next to the General. This
was not much relished by the _White Chief_; but he did not wish to give
open offence to his _Red Brother_. The cloth being removed, the wine
began to circulate; when Wayne—thinking to confound and abash the young
chief—asked him for a _toast_. This being interpreted and explained to
this son of the forest, he filled his tumbler with wine, and gave ‘_The
Great Spirit_’—and after an impressive pause, pressing his hand on his
breast—he added, “_Because he put it into the heart of man to make such
good liquor!_”
