THE AZTEC CHILDREN.

There are now being exhibited, in
New York, what is said to be the rar-
est curiosity ever exhibited in this
country-two children, a male and te-
male, belonging to a peculiar race of
Indians found in Central America, and
believed to be of the real Aztec race.
The male is supposed to be near twen-
ty years of age, is just thirty-three and
three fourths inches high, aud weighs
twenty pounds. The female is sup
posed to be about twelve years old, is
twenty nine and half inches high,
and weighs seventeen pounds. DR..
Peck, editor of the Christian Advocate
and Journal, has seen them at differ
ent times, and says that they are not
monsters, but evidently belong to d
race hitherto unknown to civilization,
except in statuary.
The history of the discovery of these
children, and of their coming to this
country, the Doctor gives as follows:
Mr.. Stephens, in his "Incidents of
Travel in Central America, Cheops,
and Yucatan," gives an account, which
he received of a padre of Santa Cruz
del Quiche, of an inhabited city, be-
yond the great Sierra mountain, occu-
pied by Indians of the same charac>
ter and habits of those found in the
country generally, when it was dis
covered by the .Spaniards. The padre
declared that in his younger days he
had himself viewed this strange un-
conquered city from the height, but
strangers had never been permitted to
enter it; it was indeed too remote and
difficult of access, to have tempted the
adventurous armies of European in
vaders
AS the story goes, two young en-
terprising men, probably influenced
by the paragraphs of Mr.. Stephens,
undertook the hazardous enterprise of
finding this wonderful city. They
sailed from New Orleans to Balize, in
the fall of I84S, and guided by expe-
rienced Indians, proceeded to Copan,
where they arrived ON Christmas
Here they formed an acquaintance
with Spaniard by the name of Pc
dro Valesquez, who was great tra-
veler, aud was prepared to enter into
their plans and unite his fortune with
theirs. They procured experienced
and faithful guides, who had knowl-
edge of the existence Of Iximaya, and
proceeded on, at the expense OF incre-
dible ! isk and labor, until the goth Of
Nay, when they deserted the city from
the high peak Of the Sierra
They pushed on until they met the
military forces, whose duty it was to
guard the mountain pass, and suffer
no stranger to enter the Iximyan coun-
try. This guard had no knowledge of
firearms, but fought with spears and
arrows, aided by blood hounds. The
party was well armed, and few shots
with powder and ball, overawed and
subdued the courage of the assailants,
and they were permitted to enter the
city. 1t was a neat quadrangle, sur
rounded by a wall sixty feet in height,

Mr.. Clemens, in concluding his bril- !
liant speech in the u. s. Senate on non !
intervention made the following beauti-
full allusien to Henry Clay. 1t is a no.
BILE and well-deserved tribute from tho
youngest member of the Senate 10 one
Of its greatest ornaments
Mr.. President, we have all read re-
Gently, and none of us trust without
deep feeling. tho opinions of the vene-
rable statesman whose bodily in6rmity|
now keeps him from among us. Who is
there with q higher wisdom than bis
Who is there with wider experience !.
Who is there with no few motives 10 de-
ceive himself or others as to the true in
terests of his country His voice comes
to us clothed with all the sanctity the
grave can give, with the added knowl-
edge Of existing things, which the grave
must take away. Standing upon tho
verge of two worlds, and looking back
upon that which he is about to leave. his
heart swelling with patriotism little
less than holy. his vision clear and un-
clouded by the passions and prejudices
which dim our sight, he tells us that
ours is mission of peace, not n mission
of blood that to avoid all interference
in the affairs OF other nations, to preserve
our own independence, to live for Amer
ica to labor for America, and, if need
be, to die for America, is sacred du-
ty, the performance of which will best
serve the cause of human liberty in ev-
cry land beneath the sun. Sir, shall
follow his advice. If my own Judgment
differed from his, should distrust it.and
feel inclined rather to be governed by|
the suggestions of him whom all men Of
every party have agreed to name patri-|
ot statesman, sage"

Look out for more ''fun ahead" in few

Of public visibility. We refer to the quar-
rels in which the whig press and politicians
will engage over the causes Of thr late an
nihilation. General Scott has already un-
looShed his hounds, by charging his defeat
to the New York Herald, the GOODNESS Of
Fillmore, and the detection Of Webster's men.
The General forgot to mention the plung-
ing from the Great West, immc cdiatcIy on
his return from the Military Asylum,
One thing mark. The General uniform
ly denied that his unexampled and untime-
ly tour had any political reference. The
whole thing bore contradiction on its very
face to his singular disclaimer. Now watch
if some disconnected wing does not confess
the demagogical purpose of the tour and
denounce it, as warning to that party for
the future. That visit was Of itself sufficient
to blow any party ten thousand years travel
beyond the dog star-the very destination
TO which the whig party seems now rapidly
tending. But, look out for the "fun ahead"
