White Iron Bedsteads at Vallee & Ladds.

There was more business done on the
G. T. R. at this place last Sunday than
was ever accomplished in one day since
the railroad was built. Three hundred
and seventy ght cars loaded with steam
ship freight from the west arrived here
and more than that number OF loaded
and empty cars from the east. In all
nearly 500 cars were received at this
port. A record breaker surely. Last
month 700 more cars were received at
this port than in the corresponding
month of last year and the number then
was considered remarkable.

our excavations have brought to light
Is the hieroglyphic stairway already
referred 10. Facing the plaza at the
southern end. IL occupied n central po-
sition on the western side of the high
pyramidal elevation that forms the
northern wing OF the main structure.
Even in the sad state Of ruin in which
We behold 1t now, II affords a magnin-
cent spectacle. What must Il have
been in the days when II was entire,
ana reached from the floor Of the plaza
to the entrance OF the temple that stood
on the height of a hundred feet above!
When discovered. in 1894, this stair
way was completely buried beneath the
debris fallen from the temple, OF which
not one stone remained upon another.
The upper part Of the stairway itself
has also been thrown from it's place
AZ If by an earthquake, and lay strewn
upon the lower portion. When. at
length, after months OF labor. on which
from fifty to one hundred Len were
employed, the fallen material was
cleared away, an acre of ground was
covered with broken sculptures, re-
moved during the progress of the work,
and the lower steps were found un-
harmed. In the center OF the stairway,
at Tho base, is a throne or pedestal ris-
ing to the fifth step, and projecting
eight feet in front. The design upon
its face Is rich in sculpture and deli
cCte in detail. II is made up in part Of
handsome faces, masks, death's-heads,
and scrolls. beautifully carved, and
disposed with perfect symmetry: but
the ensemble Is perfectly unintelligi-
bic. On the face Of each step in tho
stairway Is a row of hieroglyphics,
carved in medium relief, running the
entire length. At intervals in the
ascent the center is occupied by a hui
man figure OF noble and commanding
appearance, arrayed In splendid attire,
seated on the steps. The upper parts
but the pieces OF several were recover.
cd and restored.
On each side was a solid balustrade
two feet thick; the upper parts of
these were also broken away, but by
caSeful study and comparison enough
was recovered to enable us to make
out tho curious and complicated de.
sign. Portra!t-like busts Issuing from
the jaws OF grotesaue monsters. stand
ing out upon these balustrades, and
repeated at regular intervals. formed
their principal adornment.

But there is nothing in all the sculp-
