Then with a change of face, another readjustment of the pinafore, and a word and a whistle given by turns, the six-year-old Toole became the true comic countryman, highly amusing to his little audience. Mr. lilanchard inpiired the name of this precocious young gentleman, and a small giggling damsel lisped out: 14 It's only a little London boy down for his health, sir." .Fourteen years after that the young comedian, abandoning forever the trade of wine-merchant, entered permanently , upon his theatrical career.

to the mounds found east of the Hoeky

Mountains, they were not of a eharaeter a,nu- limn vn , ,,, r lolm M. Vashlngton, the Governor of New Mexico, in the fall of 1849, which he accompanied, in the capacity of engineer. They went through the'eountry occupied by tho Navajoes, some 200 miles southwest of Santa Fe. The purpose of the expedition was to make a treaty with a disaffected band of Indians. In the course of the march they crossod.the Sierra Madre, they came to the Kio Choppo, a small tributary of the San Juan, which is a tributary of the Colorado of tho West. (Jen. Simpson, then, with the consent of tho commanding ofllcer, and accompanied by Richard McKern, who had been with Fremont ami several others, visited a large number of ruins. The first ruin visited wag tlicruebloMontezuma, which vas known by other designations. This pueblo was four stories in height, built of a compact gray sandstone, to which tho atmosphere imparted a red tinge, tlie whole presenting at a distance a maeniiicent piece of Mosaic work. The thickness of tlie wall of tho basement was three feet, the second was loss, and each successive story the wall diminished from the jogs in tlie terrace form of tho structure." The series of lloor beams and windows indicated at least four stories. Tho ground lloor wag about 100 feet in extent. There were 54 apartments from h to 12 feet souare.and the rooms wero connected by small openings. There was no appearance of a saw having been used in the construction of tho building. There were found in connection three circular astefoos, so called by tho Pueblos. Fragments of potteiy wero strewn about which etill exhibited beautiful colors. It was said this pueblo was Iniih. t Montezuma and his people. Aooiu il' nines iurtner tnev jounu another similar structure, and continuing on thoy found about a dozen more, on which were described by the General. In one tho plaster was found in a good state Of preservation. The sixth pueblo described was 1,J00 feet in circuit, wag four stories high and 1J59 rooms an the ground lloor. The entire building had not less than 000 rooms. One room waa found in a good state of preservation, with the ceiling beautifully colored. The largest pueblo had a circuit of 1,700 foot. All these old palaces were found within a limit of 18 miles. All of them were rectangular in form. A remarkable fact connected with the existence of the curious dwellings is that they are now situated in a perfect desert; and a reasonable conjecture is that the country may at one time have been fertile, but having undergone a great change, the: inhabitants had to abandon it. The General next gave a description of inscriptions found on the rocks, ono of which was dated 1020, and were clearly due to tho Spaniards. Regarding; the origin of these ruins the present race of Indians know nothing. Humboldt locates the llfat migration of the Aztecs, in this region, and Lewis II. Morgan gives it as his opinion that they are the remains of the seven lost cities of Coronado, but he can not agree with this writer. Tlie remainder "of this pajior was devoted to the expedition of Coronado, in search of tho seven cities of Cibola. The land forces started from the City of Mexico, and were accompanied along the coast by a naval armament, and the numerous adventures, the privation and dangers encountered on tho march wero very interesting possessing the fascination of rom.Mice. It was a sort of Doniphan expedition they drove along Hocks of sheep for sustenance, as Doniphan did when he left Mexico for Missouri some 5KX) years later. They encountered herds of buffalo, doubtless passed through tho Pueblo towns, visited by the speaker, and penetrated to tho fortieth degreo of latitude before returning to Mexico. 67.

Fixing dates for ripening must therefore be the result of several yoars of observation." 41. t . . m A dough mostio bread. dillieulty Heavy
