BURIED CITIES.

Important Discoveries Made in Yucca
tan-Ruins Near Pa1enque Which
Reveal Traces of Great Nation
Curious Artistic Relics.
CRY OF MEXICO (via Galveston),
August Recently returned ex-
plorers from the State of Chiapas
confirm and add to the remarkable
reports concerning important arch@-
illogical discoveries there.
A fine, broad, paved road, built by
prehistoric inhabitants, has been
traced from Tenala down into Qua
temala and thence in a curve up
again into Mexico, terminating at
Palenque.
All along this road are still to be
seen the remains of ruined cities,
and careful estimate of the popu-
lation of these places is about
100000.
On that part of the road near Pa
lenque the ruins are Of great magni-
tude; houses of four, and often five,
stories high, have been found in the
QopUn OF Gno IOr0SC.
Many of these houses are pyra-
midal in form, and SO covered are
soma of them with vegetable mold
that large trees are growing from
the roofs. In some of the houses
great employment has been made of
stone beams of tremendous weight,
and the architecture indicates a
high degree of scientific attain
ment.
In some houses, it is stated,
bronze lamps have been discovered,
and the interior and exterior mural
decorations of the more important
houses consist of panelings, filled
with deliberately carved figures al
most of life size, two types of men
and women being represented,
some plainly Egyptian and others
genuine Africans. In front of one
of the houses the explorers found
fourteen sculptures of gods with
folded arms.
The work of exploration was one
of extreme difficulty, owing to the
density of the forest and the unwill-
ingness of the Indians to enter the
ancient edifces, they averring that
the buildings were inhabited by
spirits.
Another discovery was that of an
enormous paved road, which ex-
tends from Palenque across Yucatan
to the island of Cozumel and is con-
timed on the island.
The Palenque explorers assert
that they have discovered in the edi-
fees before mentioned, examples of
the perfect arch.
One explorer is a scientifically
trained man who has recently ar
rived from India, and by his account
the region from Chiapas to Yucatan
must have been the seat of densely
populous nation.

FRIDAY, AUGUST %,
CITY TRADE ENTERPRISE.

With the exception of the grocers
and the butchers there is no regular
delivery from the stores. In other
cities dong as large business as
this one, the various retail stores
either deliver goods themselves
or club together to support a deliv-
cry wagon. It is high time that
our retail dealers took the matter
into consideration. If the various
stores in town established among
them one or two delivery wagons
they would find it would pay in the
long run. The more facility you
give for obtaining goods, the more
goods you will sell is an old maxim
of trade and there is another which
goes along with it, viz: the cheaper
you sell your goods the more you
will sell, and the quicker you will
turn over your money. With our
growing population it is those re-
tail dealers that are enterprising that
are going to win in the race. We
throw this suggestion out because
we have heard several people who
have come from the coast and the
eastern states express surprise, that,
after having made the purchases
they have had to carry their parcels
home themselves or else hire an ex-
press to do it for them.

ia especially true of such districts
as Kona, South Kohala, and Puma.
It thus happens that some teachers
are paid by the school agent in their
district, and others are paid directly
from Honolulu.
There are three classes of schools
in the Kingdom, viz: the Govern
ment English Schools, taught in the
English language; the Government
Common Schools, taught in the Ha
waiian language; and the Indepen-
dent Schools. Of these, the most
numerously attended are the Gov
eminent English Schools. The Ha-
waiian parents, where there are Ha
waiian schools, constantly petition to
have them turned into English
Schools. In 1888 there were only
1877 per cent. of the children attend
ing the common schools. and inquiry
addressed to the Inspector General
shows that the percentage at next
report will be very much smaller.
Besides supporting its own schools,
the Board of Education assists
number of the independent schools,
by capitation fees and by scholar
ships. From time to time assistance
is given them, chiefly for building
purposes.
In the last report of the President
of the Board of Education, there ap-
peared a table of the number of
teachers employed and their nation
atty. At that time there we're 210
teachers employed in the Govern
ment schools, of whom 70 were Ha-
waiian, 42 half caste. 81 American,
80 British and German. A num-
Der of the American and British are
descendants of residents in this
country and have been educated, en-
tirely or in part, in the schools of
the country.
We are indebted for the above in
formation to little pamphlet which
was compiled by Messrs. W. d.
Alexander and Alatau T. Atkinson,
for the Paris exhibit of the Board.
Our readers will have noticed that
a very large number of new school
houses have been erected during the
past year and a half. Several of
these will be opened for the first
time at the commencement of the
Christmas term. It is very evident
that the Board is doing its duty by
the country and striving to improve
in many practical directions.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Some months ago we published an
account of the former school system
on our Islands; pressure of other
matter has kept us from making any
review of the present system which
was inaugurated in 1856. We are
often surprised to note how little
people really know of the machin-
cry of different parts of the govern
ment.
The Board of Education consists
of five members, appointed by His
Majesty, who hold Office during his
pleasure. The present Board con-
sists of the Hon. G. r. Bishop, Pres
ident; Hon. w. d. Alexander, Vice
President; Hon. S. NJ Damon, w. W.
Hall, Esq, and there is one vacancy.
The President of the Board ap-
points secretary who attends to the
financial and other business of the
Office, keeps a record of the board
meetings and manages the CORES
pondence.
The Inspector General is ap-
pointed by the Board: His duty is
to visit the schools, examine them,
report upon their proficiency, give
advice and instruction to tea cheers,
report upon the condition of school
houses and school property and ex-
anime the accounts of school agents.
No one is eligible for the position
of President or Inspector-General of
schools who is clergyman or one
in holy orders.
The Board regulates all the edu-
cational affairs of the kingdom, pre-
scribes the studies used in the
schools, appoints the teachers and
expends all the moneys available
from Legislative appropriations,
rents of school land, interest of
school fund and other sources.
1t is frequently asked, whence
comes the school fund? It is the
money received from the sale of
school land, and such sales are thus
provided for by law:
Sec. SO. All moneys and other avails
of Government lands set apart for the
general purposes of educate IN, shall be
kept as a seperate fund, and the interest
only of each fund shall be appropriated,
as the Board OF Education shall, from
time to time, decide, for the purpose of
education.
The amounts of this school fund
as reported to the Legislature in
1883 was $4,000. Il is deposited in
the Hawaiian Treasury and bears II
per cent. interest per annum.
The main support of the schools
comes from two sources. The school
tax, which is expended in the dis
trict in which it is raised, and the
Legislative grant for the support of
common and English schools.
The Islands are divided into
twenty-three school districts, each in
charge of q school agent, who has
charge of the local funds raised from
the school tax. In some districts
this is almost sufficient for the needs
of the schools. In most cases the
Board has to supplement the school
fund from the general fund. This

HUDSON'S HOT SPRINGS.



Special Correspondence OF the New Mexican.
The volcanic ORIGIN OF numerous tracts
in New Mexico has produced remarkable
natural formations to surprise and interest
the obseryant traveller. Comparatively
few are, however, to be seen from rail
roads, which run like single threads
through the country. To visit Hudson's
springs I left the railroad hulf way
between Deming and Silver City, aud
rode in a comfortable stage three miles
across gently sloping plain covered with
fine grass, and from whose distant edges
rose mountains and hills of striking
shapes and colors.
A long quadrilateral Of well constructed
adobe buildings rises at the foot OF a
mound which covers about five acres, and
is thirty or forty feet high. The house is
surrounded with portals from which, be-
meath the high cottonwoods one looks
out on far extending plains and noun
famous ridges. They make rich pastur-
age for 1000 cattle which belong to this
fine ranch property Of Col. Richard lIud-
son. The luxurious sun in these cool
November days ards warmth and color
to the scene before US, which rivals in
picturesqueness the often described
meadows of eastern states
Within the buildings is a spacious
plarita, around which are arranged twenty
or thirty bath and guest roOms. Here
beneath large trees invaiids can within
the shelter If walls yet sun and shade
protected from chilling winds. The
baths are especially convenient to the
sleeping rooms, each enIirened with
plants at the windows, growing freely
in the natural warmth and steam from
the spring waters.
From the rocky mound east Of the
buildings flows the water, conducted in
large iron pipes to the rooms. The main
spring is at til" top and IN the center OF
this huge mound OF Crystalllzed soda and
