The Oud Term OF E.enssS.

The reason for the use Of the odd term
in leases. 900 years or 90 years, thus il
given: Lcssccs and mortgages in posses
sion of real estates for 100 or 1000 years
demlscd the same at an annual rental, re-
tanning rcvcrson for the last year of the
original term. The object OF this was an
unwillingness on tho part of the under
tenant to become bound to the performance
of the covenants contained in tho original
grant; and also the Importance to the lessor
OF rcvisionary interest, without which,
under the old English practice, he could
not recover his rent by distress. Some
times tins revcrsion was only for three
days, Or even for one day, but usually in
long terms the last year was retained
Out OF this came the popular notion that
the law provided this restraint, and hence
leases were made for 90 or 900 years,
when there was no reason whatever for any
such odd period Of timo In England
there was, in special cases, restraint on
corporations or ecclesiastical persons, pro-
hiblting the demise Of lands belonging to
them TO the impovershment Of their sue
ccssors for term beyond 100 years, and
such leases were made for 90 years.

Mexican Explorations.

For two monthS N1r. dc Charnay, the
archnologist, who ls engaged in making
| excavations III the ruins of ancient Mexican
cities, lived an amphibious life, so TO speak.
, and at Palenquc MI his servants were
Frustrated with sickness. When they left
the City Of Mexico for the ruined cities
, they slept in the ruins Of ancient temples.
houses and graves. Mr. Charnay exhumed
three ancient cities in the course of his re.
searches, and secured about thousand
antiques of stone, pottery, etc. Some of
the pottery was enamcled. He made
numerous impressions of hicroglyphlcs, and
took hundreds of photographs. lie began
his researches about the volcano Popocate-
peti, which has an altitude of about 13. 900
feet. lie exhumed the city of Tula, the
ancient Toltec capital, which was inhabited,
according to some authors, about the year
067. Extensive excavations were also
made by MIR. Charnay in Teotihucan, the
city of the gods, and Mr.. Churnay Is Of
opinion that this also was a Toltec city,
lie was led to this conclusion by seeing
that the houses and public buildings were
constructed after the model of those In
Fula. The city of Comalcalco, ia To-
bncco, must have been inhabited by Tol-
tees, because the architecture of this place
and the carvings and ornaments resc nbled
those found III the two other ruined cities,
MIR. Charnay did not find any similarity
whatever between the hicroglyphics OF
ancient Mexico and those of the old world,
and hence he does not believe that Phunl-
clan sailors ever reached the American
continent. The civilization of ancient
Mexico he thought, was al original Toltec
civilization, and tho Aztec was merely u
revival Of the Toltcc civilization. Whether
the Toltcc race still existed distinct from
the Indians Of the peninsula, or whether
the present Mexican Indians were tho de-
sccndanls of those people, Dir. Charnay
was not yet prepared to say. AS to the
sun worship, it was not necessary 10 con
clldc that The old AlcXlcans had learned
that religion from other races Very many
barbarous and savage races udorcd the sun
and this would be very natural form OF
worship, from the fact that the sun was
tho source Of light and warmth, and the
support Of life. However. MIr. Charnay
was led to suppose that Japanese and
Chinese theology had reached Mexico. In
what manner he had not yet discovered,
but it probably was introduced by some
ship wrecked Japanese sailors on tho Mexi.
can coast. MIR. Charnay observed SINH
larlty in structure between ancleut Mexican
and Japanese temples, and Mr.. Orozco
hcrra, who died only three months ago,
told MIR. Charnay that he thought Budd-
hism had greatly influenced the ancient
AlcXicans.

We are having too much sham and
smattering in the methods of our COM
mon schools of the present day. Chill
dren are taught Latin, Greek, and the
modern languages before they can spell
correctly 1.-THE of the words in their
mother tongue. or punctuate simple
sentence correctly. The following ex-
tract from an address of Whitelaw Reid,
is solid chunk of practical wisdom:
"Strengthen the basis of the school
system before you incsease the super
structure. Teach fewer things, but teach
them so they will be absolutely known.
Make the course of study more compact
and manageable: postpone the accom-
plishmcnts; Danish even science and draw
ing, and first give the child what will be
essential for the practical business of
life, and basis for self-improvement."
The Je,riSh lTorld says; "a statement
has been published in several journals to
the effect that the Jews of London have
recognized the services of the late George
Eliot to the Hebrew race by offering up
prayers for the repose of her soul AL
though the Jews generally gratefully &C
knowledge the liberal sentiments ex-
pressed by George Eliot in her works
towards Jews and Judaism. no such
prayers as stated have been offered up in
any synangoguc.
Cincinnati is indignant over tho &C
quittal of Joe Paytop, the murderer.
The crime was one of tho most atrocious
that has ever disgraced Cincinnati.
About two years ago Payton followed
Nellie Stickhey to a rendezvous of ill fame
grasped her with one hand drew pistol
with the other. and shot his victim
through the heart. The girl lived long
enough to point out her murderer, yet
he was acquitted, simply because one Of
his ancestors was insane.
There are some very straightforward
