Our New XyorId Rutus


The explorations of our countryman MIR.
Stephens Among the relics of vanished races
that once swarmed in Central America and
Mexico, have excited great curiosity on this
subject, both in Europe and America. We
have heard of several projected expeditions
either in progress or at least talked OF by Eng
lish travellers and we see it stated in some of
the French papers that sacant Of that nation
j. preparing to set out on an extensive journey
through the heart of South America, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, at the expense and un-
der the patronage Of the Due dc Nemours, who
in .his fulfils plan devised and commenced
by his unfortunate brother, the late Duke of
Orleans. The expectation of finding ruins
und other traces of the ancient population is
spoken Of as leading inducement 10 the eX.
ecution of this project
la connection with this subject we may say,
we believe, without violating any confidence,
that the forthcoming volumes ofour own Ste
phenS, which will be published in two or three
weeks, far surpass even their immediate pre-
-dccesSors in architectural and historic interest
The plans Of Eucatan, which he and his com
panion Mr.. Catherwood explored with unirng
diligence, proved to be mine OF inconceivablc
rchnese. Ruins of vast extent and most strik-
ing character were disinterrcd, as we may say
in almost boundless profusion as may be in
terred from the fact to give specimens only
the volumes will contain one hundred and
fifteen cngravings. Several of these we have
enjoyed the pleasure of examining They are
more highly finished than those in the Central
America volumes, which indeed were only
outline etchings, while in these the outlines
are daily filed up with the proper light and
shade, &c and we must say that the archl-
tectural magnfcence they represent surpass-
es all that we had previously known or ina
gined.
We perceive, too, from few glances ct the
proof sheets, that personal adventure was by
no means wanting, and tina. the narrator there
of has lost nothing of his quiet humor and
graphic power OF language in describing it CT:

Extraordinary Ev.n,ifrrue.

The London Courier has copied the following
story from the Etoile, a Paris paper, ofa man be-
ing restored to life after having been frozen in
an avalanche for one hunded and sixty.sx years
The editor call upon Major Longbow, Mum
chouscn, and Ferdinand Mendez Pento, to hide
their diminished heads
"Dr. James llotham, of Morpeth, Northum-
berland, returning from Switzerland, is stated
TO have reported that most extraordinary e.
vent had lately passed ut the foot of Mount ST.
Gothnrd, u league from Azoli, in the valley of
Levatinna. At the bottom of kind of cavern,
the body ofa man, about thirty years Of age, was
perceived under a heap Of ice proceeding from
an navaancc.
As the body seemed to be fresh as if it had
been stihcd only half an hour before DR.. lIo-
than caused it 10 be taken out, and having had
the clothes pulled off, ordered it 10 be plunged
in cold water twas then so frozen that it
placed in lnkewarm water. Afterwards it wns
put in warm bed, AMI treated as usual in cases
Of sulI6ca,io ion, by which means animation was
restored.
What was the astonishmcnt Of every body
when the individual, having recoved the use Of
his sfacultcs, declared that he was Rodger d ds-
worth, son of the antiquary ofthe same name,
born in l520, who, returning from Italy in 1860,
year after the death of his father was buried
under an avalanche.
Dr. Hotham, according 10 the same account,
is stated to have added, that DR.. Dodsworth
feels great stiffness in al his joints, but by
degrees they will become as flexible as before
the accident. If Mr.. DoGsworth fully recov-
ers, and should pass through Lyons to return to
his country, after one hundred and sixty-six
years absence, it may be predicted that he
will attract, in the highest degree, the pub
lie curiosity"

HAn!Ts OF MozARr-Mozart wrote much
in the open air. The greater part Of Don Go
vauni was composed in the owlinggrccn oihis
dear friend, Dussck, at Prague the Requiem,
likewise, in Frattner's garden ct Vienna. The
first quintet in Zaubcrh te was composed in
coft e-house, over game otblljlards. He To-
we'd to be surrounded by friends, and to hear
talking and laughing 90 forward while he COM
posed But he also wrote much at night and
ceased writing neither day nor night; when
possessed with tavorite idea. He received a.
bout fifty pounds for each of his operas: but
for Cosi fan lutte one hundred pounds His
chamber music was far too elevated above the
taste ofthe day to be saeable to the muslc-sel.
lers, so that, except tritiing pension oteighty
pounds which he received for bout four years,
he had little to depend upon but concert giving
and teaching. The qusn,Ity Of Mozarts time
consumed in this mean labor cannot be thought
on but with wonder and Indignation.
Patronage and competence arrived for poor
Mozart as he lay helpless and incapable on his
death-bcd. Music was the last thing in his
thought. At noon on the 9th of December,
1871, he was singing his Requiem, and at mid
night be ceaCcd to breathe.
