THE CATAcoMBs OF PARB.APfofessor
Durbin, in his work IN Europe, gives a sketch
of the Ca.acombs ofParis-He states. that
part ofthe French Metropolis which lies up
on the lower side of she Seine, is The oldest
and that from time immemoriaI, the stone for
building was Obtained from qnarries living
under the ciys 1T is supposed that the ex-
cayatiens extend under one sixth of the city.
In 1855, a suggestion was made to convert
them into, re ceptables for the dead; and it
was finally decided that the remains of the
millions that had passed away from the Capri
Ital during ten Centuries should be removed
TO these suhterranean abodes. The rubbish
was removed, pillars were built up in solid
masonry, and particular portions separated
from the rest by strong doors, with locks, TO
serve as the first recep;ables. In e7S6, the
bones were conveyed in funeral cars, from
one of the principal cemetries, and were
~precipitated down a perpendicular shaft into
the caverns below. The contests of other
cemeteries were soon place. in the Gaia
combs, which were rapidly augmented BY the
lmassacres of the Revolution. Alittle build
ing is erected outside the Barriere d'Enfer,
in. which is the opening of the principal shaft.
The Professor and bis party descended by
ninety steps, and found themselves alone in
the cayerns. They followed their sguide
about twenty minutes and cameto a steng
door, each side of which was ornamented
with pillars of Tuscan architecture. This
door was open; and as the party passed the
threshold the strangers found themselves
surrounded by walls, of human bones, which
the glare of their tapers showed TO lie regu-
larly piled up from the floors to the roof of
the quaries. The bones of the legs and
arms are closely laid. in order, with their
ends outwards3and at regular n skulls
are interspersed in three horizontal ranges,
disposed SO as 10 present alternate parts of
the head, and some times a single perpendic-
ular range is seen, still further varying the
general outline. Passing along what seems
to be interminable ranges of these piles of
human beings, they came 10 several apart
ments arranged like chapels,~ withvaFied dis
positions of The plies of legs,arms and grimm
ing skulls. How rev, how strange, remarks
the author, were the associations of the
place. "Uver our heads was rolling the vast
tide oflife in the wicked chy-its myriads of
inhabitants were jostling each other on the
high roads of business; while here, were the
relnains of four times their number, lying in
silent and motionless piles in the depth be-
low" q

..Resoiyed. That IL Committee Of

eral gentlemen who have been nam-
id for Governor Of his State. (by our
Democratic iriendS,) asking their
opinions upon the most prominent
questions OF National and State pol

satisfactory 10 all concerned, Tor you
to have prepared such questions rs

have ascertained the opinions OF the
several gentlemen alluded TO; as |
Rresurnc no one o! them would have
an objection 10 answering fully and
frankly any questions that might have
been p~r0pOunded.
| shall, however, proceed first to
slate my opinions Oh such questions
as seem TO divide the two political
parties in relation to National policy.
And secondly, or such questions rs
appear to agiiate the public mind IN
relation TO Stale policy al this ume.
In doing this, | shall abstain from
assigning many OF the reasons which
have induced me To adopt The opln-
IONS which | hold and shall express.

asks for he opinions OF tine several
gentlemen who have been named Tor

certain. 1t WAS customary 10 pre-

The companions Of Cortes counted
one hundred and lhirtv-six thousand

thousands were yearly offered up. in

Human sacrifices were adapted by
the Aztees early in the fourteenth
century, about two hundred wears be-
fore the conquest. Rare at first. they
became more frequent with the wider
extent OF their empire. til At length.
almost every festival was closed with
this cruel a~bomin1tion. These reIl-
gious ceremOnialS were generally ar
ranged in such u manner rs TO afford
a type of the most prominent circum-
stances in the character or history Of
the deity who was the object of them
all. A single example will suffice.
One Of the mostimrortant festivals
was that in honoroi the god Tezcatil-
poca, whose rank was inferior only
to that of the Supreme Being lie
was called "ihe soul of the world
and supposed 10 have been its cTea-
tor. He was depicted as 4 handsome
man, endowed with perpetual youth.
A year before the intended sacrI-
fee, a captive distinguished for his
personal beauty, and without 4 bIem-
ish on his body, was selected TO rep
resent this diety. Certain tutors took
charge Of him, and instructed HIM
how to perform his new part with ie-

incense and with a p~rofusion OF sweet
scented flowers. of which the ancient
Me1icans were as fond as their de-
cendanis at the present day. When
he went abroad he was attended by
a train of the royal pages, and, as he
halted in the streets TO play some ia,
vorite melody, the crowd prostra'ed
themselves before him, and did HIM
homage as the representative other
good deity; N this way he led an ca
sy, luxurious life, till within 4 month
OF his sacrifice. Four beautiful girls,
bearing the names of the principal
goddess, were then selected to share
the honors of his bed: and with them
