The Lower California PIacers.

GUAYMAs, May 21st.-The excitement in
regard to the late discovery of gold in Lower
California has reached fever heat. The
trains of yesterday and to-day brought down
quite crowd from Tombstone and Tucson,
who engaged the Antonis, and will leave day
after tomorrow for the placsrs. The San
Pueblo is laid ON, and will start on or before
the end of the week. The fare is sixteen dol
lars to the embsrcadsro, twenty-seven miles
from the diggings. A reliable correspondent
is now over there, and will furnish the latest
news. Several companies are forming in the
Interior, and telegraphing for transportation.
Should the present immigration continue,
supplies viii have to be drawn from outside
OF Guaymas to meet the demand.

kaAo, the HUMAN MONKEY.

MAN, me HUMAN WUNkev.
Through che courtesy Of Mr.. Fa-
7 riui, 1 have had " private interview
with this curious little waif, which he
is now exhibiting at the Royal Aquari-
UNI, Westminster, aud for which lie
claims the distinction of being the
long-so,lght-for missing link" he
tween man and the anthropoid apes.
Krao certainly presents some alb
normal peculiarities, but they are
scarcely of sufficiently pronounced
type to justify the claim. She is, in
fact, distinctly human child, app
parently about 2 years old, endowed
with an average share of intelligence,
and possessing the faculty of articu-
late speech. Since her arrival, about
ten weeks ago, in London she has
acquired several English words which
she uses intelligently, and not merely
parrot fashion, as has been stated.
Thus, on my suddenly producing my
watch at the interview, she was at.
tracted by the glitter, aud cried out
C. ock, C. oc6, that is, clock, clock!
This show considerable power of &C.
neralization, accompanied by a some-
what defective articulation and it APP
pears that her phonetic system does
not yet embrace the liquids I and r..
But in this and other respects her
education is progressing favorably,
and she has already SO far, adapted
herself to civilized ways that the mere
threat to be sent back to her own peo-
pie is always sufficient to SUPPRESS
any symptoms of unruly conduct.
Physically Krao presents several
peculiar features. The head and low
forehead are covered down TO the
bushy eyebrows with the deep black,
lank, and lustreless hair, character
istic of the Mongoloid races. The
whole body is also overgrown with a
far less dense coating of soft, black
hair about quarter of an inch long,
but nowhere close enough to conceal
the color of the skim. which may be
described us Of dark olive-brown
shade. The nose is extremely short
and low, with excessively broad nos
trils, merging in the full, pouched
cheeks, into which she appears to
have the habit Of stuffing her food,
monkey-fashion. Like those of the
anthropoids, her feet are also pre-
hensile, and the hands so flexible
that they bend quite back over the
wrists. The thumb also doubles COM
pletely back, and of the four fingers
all the top joints bend at pleasure in
dependently inward. Prognathism
seems to be very slightly developed,
and the beautiful round black eyes
are very large and perfectly horizon
tai. Hence the expression is on the
whole far from unpleasing.-CA. III.

AmYsreay OF TIVE PACIFIC.


Ocean, stretching from the coast Of
Asia for thousands of miles to the
east, there extends vast series of
archipelagoes and island groups,
partly, without doubt, the remains
of former continent now merged
beneath the waves. Here is the far
famed Coral Sea, with its countless
islets and calm lagoons; and here
are numberless volcanic islands, rich
in luxuriant vegetation, where nature
seems to have been specially prodigal
of her gifts, but which are ever the
sport of the terrible subterranean
forces that act with such fearful
potency throughout all this region.
Till comparatively recent times little
was known for certain with respect
to the islands of the Pacific. Mendi-
ma and other pioneers Of exploration
had, 1t is true, shed some light on
the subject; but the tales Of early
travellers were mixed up with many
wild improbabilities and exaggera-
tions. Dim stories foated about of
the savage natures Of the South Sea
Islanders, and OF the exploits of.
Dampier or of the Spanish bucca-
neers. Tales, too, Of the fabulous
wealth to be derived from trading in
the Pacific found ready listeners
everywhere; and the public credulity
on the subject was too clearly shown
in the history of the South Sea ,Bub-
ble.a OF late years, through the
discoveries of gallant explorers, we
have learned more of the true facts
Of the case, and many old illusions
have been dispelled. But, as has
been so often said, truth is stranger
than fiction; and the facts to which
we are about to draw attention will
yield in their wonderful nature to
none of the strange and fantastic
tales with which sea captains were
formerly wont to astonish the credu-
lous at home. In the far East,
forming, as it were, the outpost of
the South Sea groups, is solitary
volcanic island, called Easter Island.
1t is 1900 miles east Of Pitcairn, the
next island in the series, and with
the exception of Salas-y-G Gomez, a
small rock without inhabitants or
vegetation, there is no land between
it and South America, which lies
more than 1000 miles to the east.
Easter Island is only II miles by 4
broad, yet in this small space is
crowded, perhaps, the most wonder
full and mysterious collection of re-
mains of u prehistoric people to be
found ON the earth. At the south
west end are nearly hundred houses,
built of stone, with walls feet in
thickness. The inside of the walls
is, lined with upright slabs of stone,
painted in black, white and red, with
figures Of animals and birds, and
with other designs. The houses are
rooted in with overlapping slabs of
stone. In some of the houses num-
beers Of univalve shells have been
found. Near these wonderful ruins
the rocks are carved into fantastic
shapes Of faces, most of the sculp-
lures being now almost overgrown
with bush and underwood. The
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1883-05-12


existing as they do in such large
numbers, seem to point inevitably to
former race of natives of far higher
civilization. We can understand that
former race may have erected the
houses and carved the sculptures
mentioned above, wonderful as they
are compared with the huts of the
existing natives. What follows is,
however, more difficult of explana-
ton. On nearly every promontory
are erected huge stone platforms,
facing the sea, and presenting front
sometimes nearly 800 feet long, and
from 20 to 30 rect high. The stones
composing these platforms are often
6 feet long, and are fitted together
without cement. The top of the
platform is generally about 80 feet
broad, and the structures being
built on sloping ground. the wall
facing the interior Of the island is
only about yard high. Another
terrace, 100 feet broad, is levelled
landward, and ends also in q wall
of stone. On these immense plat
forms are great pedestals of stone,
on which once stood gigantic statues,
which, however, are now all thrown
down and partially mutilated, with
the exception of those on the plat
form near the crater of Otoui,
which are still erect. Some of
those images were 81 feet high; but
the average height was about l6 or
II feet, other statues being much
smaller. The heads of these sculp-
tured images are, fiat, and were
formerly capped by crowns of red
tufta, a stone that is found only at
crater called Terano Hau, near which
have been found number of crowns
ready for removal to the statues.
The faces are square, and are said
to be of a disdainful expression, the
lips thin, and the eve sockets re-
markably deep, perhaps to admit of
the insertion of eyeballs formed of
obsidian, which is also found on the
island. Captain Cook, who during
his second voyage visited Easter
Island, remarks that the shade of
one of these statues was sufficient to
shelter all his party-nearly thirty
persons. He believed them to be
burying places for certain tribes or
families. But whatever may have
been the original intention of the
sculptors, the present natives can
have had nothing to do with the
execution Of thsse wonderful monu-
ments. They possess, however,
small wooden carved figures, but
totally different in features from the
stone images. We are forced to the
conclusion that the houses, plat
forms and statues are all relics of a
remote age. The natives have
tradition that they formerly migrated
to their present abode from one of
the islands of the Low Archipelago,
but this throws little light on the
subject. How in any age could a
people furnished only with a stone
chiscl-for the Polynesians are still
in the stone epoch-havc carved
such statues by hundreds and built
such enormous platforms! And the
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1883-05-12

difficulty is immensely increased by
the small size and complete isolation
of the island. At present, Easter
Island remains the greatest mystery
of the Pacific-one of the greatest
mysteries of the world. The ruins
of Ponape, however, are scarcely
more easily explained than those we
have been describing. PonapG is
one of the Caroline Islands, and is
about IA miles long by IL in width.
On the bank Of a creek in the Meta
lanien harbor stands a massive wall
800 feet in length and about IS feet
high. 1t is built of basalt, the
stones being in some cases 25 feet
long. Ga passing through u gate
way in this wall, a court, inclosed
by walls 30 feet high, is reached.
This court is now almost hidden i'm
parts by luxuriant vegetation; but.
ON investigation a terrace feet high
and II broad is found to run round
the inside of the enclosing wall.
Low walls running north and south
divide the court into three parts, in
the centre of each of which is
closed chamber IA feet square, rooted
over with basaltic columns. The
labor of building these structures
must have been enormous for there
are no basaltic rocks within 10 miles,
with an intervening country thickly
wooded and precipitous. Such an
exploit is evidently entirely out of
the power of the present savage in
habitants. The theory that the
buildings were the work of Spanish
buccaneers is also untenable. No
adequate explanation has yet been
offered; but, as in the case of Easter
Island, we seem driven to the
hypothesis of an ancient civilization
extending over some parts at least
Of the Pacific. Admitting this, we
might suppose that Easter Island
was chosen, possibly expressly on
account Of its isolation, as the
sanctuary Of the religion Of some
confederacy or group Of tribes, who
might by their joint labors have pro-
duced the mighty structures which
now battle the archeologist. On
the same supposition, the buildings
at Ponape might be considered to
have been the temple of the gods of
some powerful nation. But all this
is mere conjecture. If there ever
was such civilisation, which way
did it spread? Was it from the West
or from the East? And in either
case, how can we account for it's
spontaneous growth in such an iso-
lated region and under conditions so
unfavorable? These are questions
which we cannot hope to answer;
probably they will always remain
unanswered. The past history of
the South Seas is yelled i'm deep
obscurity. Could we but gain an
insight into the remote past of this
quarter Of the globe, perhaps
picture would be revealed by the
side of which the tales of Montezuma
and the Incas of Peru would sink
into iiIsignifcance. Cha M 6ers'

Caucus Rule and Bosslsm ,

The caucus is now democratic property
This has been demonstrated at Harrisburg and
Albany. The caucus cannot be dispensed with
by the bourbon elements. 1t is their hold
upon power Leaders of parties Throughout tho
civilized world have long thought concert of
action upon all measures of importance essen
tial to success. They have acted accordingly
No organization ever existed for any length
of time without proconcerted action. This
idea is well illustrated in the history, not only
of other lands, but of our own times. "In
union there is strength" In thopuposes and
actions of parties and peoples there can be no
measure of good results whore there
is a division of the elements which
should be energized in one direction.
Governments and parties can only succeed by
harmony. "a house divided against itself
cannot stand" The caucuses at Albany and
Harrisburg are indicative of unity and
strength. We admire this even in the DEM
ocratic party. The haste with which their
nominations were made give evidence of con-
trolling and directing minds. This is termed
in modern parlance, "bossism." Naturally
following the narration of this event comes
the idea that nations and parties have only
succeeded when under the direction of COM
petent leaders Macedonia and France DOM

to the rule of boss ALEXANDER and "boss"

party made better showing and came nearer
success under "boss" TILDEN than at any

ter is, all success is due to the unity of parties
under discreet leadership No matter whether
the leader be calledsa demigod, hero, joss, or
boss, there must be leader in order to achieve
anything. When the Greek pleboians deter
