Ancient Mexico.
From a Mexican paper.


BY the ,Siglo we learn that there have
been discoveries, among the exhuma-
tons near San Andres Tuxtea, in the
State of Vera Cruz, of several ancient
statues. of what race the iSiqIO does not
indicate, but in this connection we will
observe that upon former occasion
there were discovered several statues Of
period, Geographic representations of
two Of which have been forwarded to a
gentleman in this city, and which we
have seen. One is Ethiopian and the
other ancient Egyptian or Coptic.
These discoveries in the East, and
with recent discoveries in the West, ex-
cite an interesting speculation among
ethnologists.
1t appears from these discoveries that
the Mexican portion Of the American
continent was in former periods peOpled
by two different and distinct races that
in the West the Aztec or Indio, and in
the East, on the Gulf coast, the Coptic.
1t i known that the Aztecs were two or
three centuries in their migrations east
ward until their arrival at Chepultepec.
No living evidences of the Egyptian
race exist, but overwhelming proofs that
such race did exist at a former period
in the regions Of the gulf. These are to
be found in the ruins. hieorglyphics
statuary, pottery, and utensils But
their period must have been before that
of the Aztecs, or the scattered colonies
of the Egyptians were overwhelmed by
the forerunning tribes which preceded
the imperial and civilized portion of the
migrating race.
This is an interesting question. And
another is how the Egyptians reached
the coast of Mexico; whether in their
own ships or those of the Phenicians
the most adventurous navigators of their
period, and who were the only race that
ventured out of the straits of Gibraltar
in that period.

in a tone that would have frozen less

herself out of the Office.
The Judge dropped to the contempla-

greeted him with, " Are you the chap

WHAT MAKES HoME.-Beauty is a
great thing; but beauty of garments,
house, and furniture, is very tawdry
ornament compared with domestic love.
All the elegance in the world will not

for whole shiploads of furniture, and all
the gorgeousness that all the uphol-
sterers of the world could gather to-
gether.-Theodore Parker.
