A well Known Terra Incognira.


We are glad to see that syndicate of
enterprising newspapers have sent out a
correspondent to explore what they call
"the dark continent of America" This
terra incognita, which is now to be
brought to the attention of American
newspaper readers, is the interior of
Spanish Honduras, lying between the
beautiful island dotted Gulf of Honduras
on the Atlantic and the Gulf or Bay of
Fonseca sometimes called Conchagus) on
the Pacific side. 1t will, however, be
news to well-read people, and especially
to Central American travellers, that there
is terra incognita in that region. The
writer of this explored that whole region
many years ago, from Omoa to San Pedro
and Comayagua, the capital of Honduras,
q city of twenty thousand inhabitants
and of extensive commerce. The Quay
ape country, when he was there, was
rich in mines, and the river OF the same
name ran through region opulent in
gold placers. These were worked
by aborigines, who sold their gold to
the merchants of Comayagua. A curious
practice which had grown up in that city
was to have two classes of money, of the
same Government mintage-silver and
brass. The brass money would pur-
chase Just as much in the native retail
market as the silver money, and the In
diaps who brought in gold-dust preferred
to exchange it for the brass money. In
this way the merchants made an enor-
NOUS profit in their exchanges. The
mines in the Guayape region haye been
worked from the time of the conquists-
dores. From Comayagua to Puerta la Un-
ion, or to Los Tigres, in the Bay OF Fonsca,
is mountainous country, rich in woods
for dyes and for fine furniture and finish
ing work. The whole region is densely
inhabited, and towns and villages abound
in it. 1t is very interesting country,
and, whilst the explorations of the news
paper syndicate will doubtless bring to
the popular apprehension many new and
entertaining facts, yet to speak of the in
terror of Spanish Honduras as one would
of Central Africa, and to liken an expe-
dition to explore it to the expeditions of
Speke, Baker and Livingstone, is to draw
it altogether too strong. John L..
Stephens, in his work on the ruins
of Palenque. can be consulted about
the country in question with interest and
profit. Arthur Norelet is another trav.
eler who has left an excellent account of
his explorations in this part of Central
America in work published in Paris in
1857. But those who are curious about
this "unexplored region" can have a
food of light thrown upon it by consult
ing several very interesting aud altogether
reliable works written by the American
diplomat, traveller and arch@ologist,
E. G. squier, to wit: "Notes on Central
America" etc.; "The States of Central
America" (octavo, New York, 1854 !;
"Report of the Survey OF the Honduras
Interoceanic Railway" (4to, London,
1850; "Hondurae-Historical, Statsti-
CAL" Indeed, Mr.. Squier, who was
Minister of the United States to Nicara-
qua, Honduras and Guatemala in 1S49,
has written whole library of books and
magazine articles upon this very region
which the newspaper syndicate are about
to explore as an unknown country.

NOTHING has been more satisfactorily
determined with reference to the habits
and practices of the Sandwich Islanders
prior to the advent Of the whites amongst
them, than that they were not anthropo.
phagi. Jarvis and all the early historians
made particular researches on this sub
ject, and agree that there was no founda.
ton in fact for the charge of anibalism
against that people. Yetwe find num-
ber of leading Eastern papers, in noting
the appointment OF H. w. Severance to
the position of Consul. General of the
United States at Honolulu, speak of the
propriety OF the appointment because he
belongs to family who first introduced
the blessings of civilization to savage
and man.eating people. The Chicago
Herald goes SO far as to say that sister
of Severance converted the cannibal
Queen of those islands to Christianity.
We are not informed what Queen she
converted. If it was the consort of
Kamemaheha the First, who was brought
into the Christian fold by the early mis-
sionaries in the beginning of this CEN
tury, that would give Mr.. Severance a
tremendous age. All the members
of the royal family since the
First Kamemaheha have been born
and brought up in the Christian
faith. Mr.. Fl. w. Severance's father
was sent as United States Commii sioner
10 the Sandwich Islands in 1850. His
son accompanied him, and was for years
engaged in mercantile business at Homo
lulu as the head Of the leading auction
house there. In 1867 he broke up butt

THE visit of Mr.. G. H. Mumm to this
country, and some remarks he has
thrown out about the poverty of oul
wines and the inadaptability of our soils
to the production of the champagne
grape, have naturally attracted attention
and challenged criticism. The HERALD
yesterday controverted one Of his asser-
tions, that we had no soil con-
tanning the chemical properties ne
cessary to produce the Champagne
grape. We said that we believed that
just such soil as he described that of the
Province de Champagne to be
existed in Los Angeles county,
and we now particularize portions
of the Cocamunga country. 1t is
we'll known that there is a grape
grown at Cocamunga, the juice of which
possesses the very quality of efferves-
cence which Mr.. Mumm says is not to
be locked for in the product OF
our soils. But, apart from that, what
right has Mr.. Mumm to say we have no
champagne soils? He has certainly
only had very slight knowledge theor-
etically with the subject, and as he has
only just arrived in New York, he has.
beyond doubt, had no practical acquaint-
ancs with it. We are glad,
however, that Mr.. Mumm has come,
and that he has broached publicly
this interesting subject. 1t will
lead to discussion which will be of ben
eft to US. In this connection we refer
our readers to an editorial we have
clipped from the Call of Wednesday.
That paper has taken the same view of
Mr.. Mumm's statement that we have,
and has elaborated some other pertinent
facts relating to our wine industry.

LIEUT.. SINCLAIR, of the U. 3. Coast
Survey, has just absolutely determined
the latitude and longitude of Los Ange-
les. The point of the determination is
the flagstaff of the State Normal School,
and the data: N. lat, "a degrees, min
utes, IS. 81 seconds; long. W. from Green
wich, lis degrees, 10 minutes, 20.7 sec
onds. Longitude has been worked up
from the Atlantic to this city from station
to station, so that now connection has
been made with the triangulations OF
the Coast Survey, and the location OF
submerged rocks, sand banks and
other dangers to navigation can be
exactly determined by the masters
OF vessels sailing along our coast. The
importance, therefore, of having ascer-
tanned the exact longitude of this city
will be understood by the reader A
short time ago, Professor More, President
of the Normal School and member OF
the State Board of Education, was as
signed the duty of compiling an arith-
metic for the State series of text books
for the public schools. After the most
careful investigation to discover the
longitude of this city, he placed the
| flagstaff of the Normal School at
longitude lis degrees and Is min.
utes. Now, if this data were depended
upon by a shipmaster sailing in the
channel during a dense fog, he would
find his vessel ashore when, according tc
the chart, he ought to be three miles al
sea. The way in which Lieut.. Sinclair
determined the exact longitude of this
point is worth relating: In conjunction
with his colleague at Sacramento, a grouT
of stars we're selected and their passage
across the transit noted at the capital anC
instantaneously reported here. AS the
rate of their westerly movement had pre-
viously been ascertained the difference
between the time of their transi
at Sacramento and their appearance here
would chow the exact distance westerly
between the two points. Having taker
successive observations for two weeks
with the same results, the operators
changed places, Lieut.. Sinclair going tt
Sacramento and his colleague coming
here, where the observations were re
peated. This was done for the purpose
of testing what they term 1.-THE persona
equation" of the operators. In othe
words, there is a difference in the tenn
permanent and the nervousness of differ
ent individuals, and whilst one might bt
more prompt than the other to touch tn,
electric button to convey the exact tint
of transit of the selected stars, by chang
ing positions the mean of this difference
could be accurately determined, and th,
true longitude arrived at.

Hayti in day or two. Secretary Tracy
says the order is in pursuance of his
policy of relieving frequently the vessels
on the West India station, where they
are exposed to yellow fever. He added
that ii any one connected with the State
Department was going on the Boston, he
did not know it. The officials at the
State Department were equally ignorant
of any intention to send a representative
