ARCHAEOLOGY.
A VERY STRANGE DISCOVERY IN
TEXAS.
Unearthing an Old Battle-Ground Of Ia
dams and kztscs-Bones and Many
Implements Pound.

A discovery Of immense archaeological
interest has recently been made near
Painted Cave, on the Southern Pacific
railroad, about the junction of the Pecos
and Rio Grande. Mr.. Vandeyoort who
owns "A farm near the town mentioned,
found on his place after recent wind
storm large cottonwood tree blown
down and leaving the roots exposed. in
the earth loosened by its fall and mp
heaved by the spreading roots he noticed
a round object, which. upon inspection.
proved to be human skull. The skull
was that of an Aztec. After two or three
feet of soil had been removed almost
every upheayal OF the spades brought 10
light bone or weapon or other object.
There were a great number OF arrow
heads, both OF stone aud OF glass, in the
manufacture OF which the Aztecs ex-
celled. But to set at rest all doubts as to
what people the bones had belonged to
the peculiar weapon of the Azatian race
was found. This weapon is a short
metal axe, with blades OF glass. The
metal is supposed TO be copper, but the
specimens are furnished, inctusted by
age and burial. Several shields are
among the relics, and on being cleaned
were found 10 be OF brass, skIlfully en-
grsvod with an owl. Copper knives and
stone tomahawks are abundant, and
there are twenty or thirty head bands OF
ebony, silver, and copper There IL also
helmet or casque OF thin silver with
small hole in the top The head-dress
of an Aztecan officer was helmet with q
topknot of feathers. Silver armor for
legs from knee 10 ankle was found near
the helmeted skull One hony hand sill
clutched dart with three copper points,
and held it so firmly that it WAS necessa-
~ to keep hand and all. Another ghast-
ly object was a pair of clenched jaw;
holding between their discolored teeth a
small image engraved on agate. This
must haye been the likeness Of a god
thrust into the mouth. A number oil
gold and silver pendants and quantity
of Aztec currency were picked up. This
latter consists OF bits Of tin in shape like
the letter T..
Among the human bones were mingled
those of several animals, too small tC
have been catiie-horsos were, OF course,
unknown-and too large TO have been
dogs. They were those of oceots.
trained by the Aztecs for the hunt ano
for battle. That the ocelots took an ac
tive part is shown by the fact that the
laws of one held the severed skull OF al
Indian, while the teeth OF a second were
fastened on a thigh bone. In turn t
tomabawk was still sticking in his par
tially-cloyen skull.

The Present First Lord OF the Urea

saturday Revisw.l
lie is Justly praised for his plain and
STRAIGHTFORWARD habits OF mind, his
moderation and patience. his excellent
temper, and his concilatory manners
and all these gifts are, of course, valua-
bic 10 him. But the reservation almost
invariably added by his eulogists that ne
is mot brilliant speaker IN reality
indicates his one unique and priceless
qualification for his place. 1t Is Just be-
cause Mr.. Smith Is not only not
brilliant speaker, but by design
and predilection reduces his par
Eameniary utterances within the
very smallest compass, that he Is
almost the ideal incumbent OF the
most which he occupies. A leader gifted
with oratoricsl brllliancy. even q leader
fond OF the last word and sensible to the
temptations of an apt retort, would he
perpetualy exposed to dangers which
Mr.. Smith escapes. The plainness and
straiQhtforwardness, the moderation and
the patience, even the good temper and
the conciliatory manners, would all be
brought TO nought by the ingenious gem
tlemen belcw the ganggay II only they
we're associated in their possessor irwin the
smallest possible turn for smart reloinder,
the least possible weakness OF affection
for the sound of his own voice.
How many parliamentary wrangles Tor
hours have been started by dexterous
obstrnctionists from some too yivaclous
reply of a Minister How many dis
eusted readers Of the next mornings
newspapers have been found to admit
that it would have been better If the
right honorable gentleman, or the noble
lord. the leader Of the House. had an-
sUered Mr. OBlanks question IN more
prudent If less epigramatlc way ANY
one who has watched the proceedings OF
the House OF Commons-particular in
discussions of that delicate matter,
the arrangement OF public business
will have noticed that the whole series OF
badgering interrogatIons addressed to
the leader of the House on these occa-
sions are directed to the sole object OF
provoking from him some hssty chat
| lenge or Indiscreet answer. No man
who ever sat on the Treasury bench has
more skilfully parted them than MIR.
Smith, and he has done so manly by
using the fewest words and 10y sys-
tematically avoiding the most OBJ
vious opportunities OF effective retort.
That habitual insistence OF bis on
the stereotyped formula of refer
ence to his duty to the House
and the country--a habit on which
his Gladstonean critics have 80 often
made cheaply merry-is, in fact, a care
fully-sclected weapon of defence; and it
is always with satisfaction that we OBJ
serve him resorting to it, because We
have noted that. in virtue of It's purely
platitudinous character. it produces the
most exasperating effect on the opposite
benches. No wonder that leader Of
this peculiar type is feared by obstruc-
tionism, and that the spectacle OF b's
daily snd nightly battle with it produces
a singularly impressive effect upon the
country.
