tcriDFVTS OF TRAVEL IN YUCATAN : By JOHN
'* i STEPHENS. (Second Notice.)
We noticed some days since the appearance of
these splendid volumes, and indicated, as much at
leagih as our space would allow, the genera!
character of their contents, with a somewhat de?
tailed account of the progress of the adventurous
OTrelers up to the time of reaching Uxmal. Of
the wonderful ruins explored at that place wc ,
presented a hasty description, and were forced
there to leave the work. We are under some ap- !
prehensi?n tiiat mean time many of our readers |
mar have taken occasion to read the volumes
themselves, and that any farther notice of their
contents will he usel-SB and uninteresting. Still, ;
the main part of the work was then left untouched; j
and, as some may not yet have found leisure or ;
opportunity to liec-orne acquainted with the narra
tire itself, wc deem it hest to complete the hasty >
review which we then commenced.
.Messrs. Stepuf.n.s and Catherwood left Ux- ;
mal with exceeding joy?for their stay seems to j
hare heen far from agrccahle?on New Year's j
day?observed as a fete day by the natives, who :
celebrate the occasion very much as their more ?
Christian brethren do, by making themselves glo?
riously drunk in honor thereof. Their journey is
enlivened by graphic accounts of a political elec?
tion which occurred just at that time, of the in?
stallation of the newly chosen officers, and such
other incidents of personal adventure as befel them.
Themins of Xcoch were the next they visited.
Thenost interesting object met with there was a ?
fond.rful natural cave, probably used to supply
the city with water. In exploring this remarka
6le p'ace, after entering at a cavity three feet
high and four wide, they pursued their way, de
??endinj*- at an ancle of about fifteen degrcci-, for
neufy two hundred feet, being forced to crawl
roost of their way upon their hands and knees,
and emerging then into an irregnlar cavern forty
or fifty leet wide and ten or fifteen high. Passing
from this into other adjacent caverns, they pur?
sued their way still downward, sometimes climb?
ing and sometimes crawling, until they came at
_ist to a large basin of clear and inviting water.
From this immense depth they suppose the ancient
inhabitants of the adjacent city procured with im?
mense toil all the water which they used.
The ruins of Nohpat were next visited : and
here were found great numbers of sculptured
stones?some models cut into the figure of a man
while upon others were cut in bas-relief a long
succession of repetitions of the skull and cross- j
hones. Thence the travelers pursued their way
to Kabah where, greatly to their surprise, they
found ruins of equal interest with any they had
yet examined. Of these-decaying structures a
full description is given by Mr. ?Stephens with a
great number of engravings by Mr. Cather?
wood : and as without the last no adequate or even
correct notion of the aspect or character of the
rams could be formed wc shall not attempt any
outline of tho former. One of the objects found
there, however, was so singular and significant |
that some farther allusion to it may be demanded.
It was the lintel of a doorway to one of the great
?difices which they explored : it consisted of two
beams of wood about ten feet long laid side by
fide and completely covered by elaborate carving |
of which Mr. Stephens gives this account :
" The subject is a human figure s-niii-?Hg upon a serpent.
Tht face was scratched, worn ami obliterated, the head -dress
?Hi- pi tune nf feathers, and the peueral aspect of the fi?ure
?ad ornament? was the same with that of the Ggum found ou
thtwalls at Palenque. It was the first subject we had dis
-O.nvd beiiriut: such a itrikiue resemblance in details and
C?a_'ting so closely together in* builders of these distant
cilia..
"But the great interest of this lintel was the carving.?
T5i_beam covered with hieroglyphics at Uxmal was faded
?ad worn. This was still in excellent preservation; the
lisa were clear and distinct; and the cutting under any test
-H-withour any reference to the people by whom it was ex
t-it-d, Mould be considered as indicating_r?'at skill and pro
-_i*acy in the art of carving upon wood."
Several other most curiously sculptured remains
?".re discovered here, all exhibiting the same head,
dress, and one of them picturing a man, holding
i? weapon in his hand, kneeling to another. The
weapon here engraved is said by Mr. Stephens
closely to resemble that described by Father Her
?W-as being in general use among the Indians.
Tbe figure first alluded to, however, possesses
-J far the most interest, from the symbolic mean
^ which has been attributed to it. Our read.
? will remember that it was referred to and its
*g_--cation pointed out by Dr. Hawks in his Lec
?*_t last winter. The first volume closes with an
-??count of a great charnel house at Kabah, and
? the festivities which were generally observed
at the time of Mr. Stephens's visit. In the
?^?al ground, rows of. skulls were curiously ar
?^tged, each bearing some inscription designating
*-* name and something of the history of him to
?"on? it had belonged. ?Sicklies.*- was very pre- j
?"-lent and deaths among the natives frequent at j

? ?*?? S., ?? death is merely one of the accidents of !

ment9 seem to have been pretty closely modeled
on the Association plan of Owen or Fourier; but
Mr. Stephens remarks that they differ from all
, other Reformers in this?that they seek no con?
verts. They allow no stranger to enter their
i Community ; every member must marry within
: their own limits ; and a marriage out of the Com?
munity is punished with instant expulsion. The
i ruins of Zayi, which were in this vicinity, were
! like all the rest, imposing and majestic, and differ
i ed from them in no marked respect ?Severa
buildings were found constructed of lime and
stone, and containing figures of serpents and
: idols on the walls. The ruins of Labnah were
also found to abound iu stupendous structures,
adorned with human figure:?, death's heads, and
ornaments of the same general character as those
elsewhere observed. A large and wonderful cave
was also explored.
But it must prove as uninteresting as it is use?
less to attempt to follow the travelers closely on
their route. The ruins observed throughout the
country are of the same general character, and
those particulars in which they differ from each
other, can only lie properly understood by the clear
and detailed description which Mr. Stephens has
given of them, and the fine engravings by which
they are illustrated by Mr. Catherwood. The
travelers in their progress were continually greetetl
by balls, bull-fights and other divisions, which
were celebrated upon the return of the several festi?
val days observed by the natives. .Mr. Stephens
at Tie.ul found a curious manuscript, containing
an exposition of the manner in which the Indians
computed time ; and he found it to be substan?
tially the same with that of the Mexicans. The
Essay is presented at length in the Appendix. The
following extract, which gives a graphic descrip?
tion of the manner of life which prevails in one of
the villages of Yucatan is certainly not calculated
to leave a very favorable impression of the morals
and industry of the inhabitants. Mr. Stephens
says he had been curious to know how the people
lived, as he had never seen any of them at work ;
and he finally ascertained that each man had made
a loan of four or five dollars to Indians in want,
and thus made their debtors their absolute slaves ?
so that they forced them to do all their woik; of
their morals he thus writes :
" We had not formed a very exalted opiuiOD "f these peo
nie and they did not rat. themselv?- very igb. Don Juan"
had told us "that the Indians were all drunkards and half the
white people ; and the other half had occasionally t? take to
the hammock : he said. i,?a>, that they were all gamblers,and I
the alcalde, as he shuffled the cards, confirmed it and asked m.
to join them. He inquired if there was no gambling in my
country, or what people did with tli.-ir money if they did not ?
gambit, and he allowed that to expend it in horses, carriages, !
dinners, furniture, dress, and other particulars suggested by :
sum?' of them, was sensible enough : for, as hie said very tru?
ly, when they died tln-y could not carry it away with them?
1 mentioned that in mv country gambling was forqidden by
law, and that for ?gambling in the street ami ou a Sunday,
they would all he taken up and punished. This touched the
nlcadt- iu his office, and he started up with the card- in his
hand, and looking indignantly at the people under his charge,
said that there too it was forbidden by law : that any one
who gambled, or who connived at it, or who permitted it iu
his house, was liable to he declared not a citizen ; that they
had laws and very good! ones : all knew them but ?nobody
miifded them. Everybody gambled, particularly iu thatvif
lage ; they had no money, but they gambled corn and tobac?
co, aud hi- pointed to a man then crossing the plaza who the
night before had gambled away a hog. He admitted that
sometimes it was a good way to make money, but he pointed
to a miserable looking young man, not more than two or three
and twenty, whose faiher.-he said, had ranchos, and Indians,
and houses, and ready money, and was close-fisted, and had
left all to that son, who was now looking for seven and six
pence to make up a dollar, and the young man himself, with
a ghastly smile, confirmed the tal?-. The alcalde then con?
tinued with a running commentary upon the idleness and ex?
travagance of the people in the village : they were all lazy,
and having illustrations at hand, he pointed to an Indian
just nassing with three strings of beef, which, he said, had
cost him a m.'dio and a half, and would he consumed at a
meal, and the Indian, he knew, had not a medio in the world to
pay the c?mcatibn tax. One of the gentlemen present then
suggested that the government had latrly passed an iniquitous
law that no Indian should be compellea to work unless he
chose : if he refused he could not be whipped m imprisoned,
and what could be expected in such a state of things ? An?
other gentleman interposed with great unction, declaring that
i the alcalde of a neighboring village did not mind the law,
! hut went on whipping the same as before. At this time a
i ?lozeu Indians, by the Constitution free and independent as
j themselves, sat on the ground without saying a word..?taring
; from one to the other of the speakers."
Many of the villages in that countrv seem to
; have been built upon sites of which a supply of
; water was the only recommendation ; and of this
sort especially was Becanchen, to which Mr.
Stephens gives the following romantic origin :?
" The history of this village has all the wildness of ro
? manee, and indeed throughout this land of s.'pulch.rcd cit
ia's, the genius of romance sits enlhroued. Its name is de
| rived from a stream of water, being compounded of the
I Maya word.? Beam, running, and caen, a well. Twenty
| years ago the country round about wa.? a wilderness of forest".
I A ^solitary Indian cam.' ?uto il aud made a clearing for his
milpa. In doing so he struck upon the running stiyam, fol?
lowed it until he found the water gusliine from'the rock and
? the whole surface now occupied by ihe plaza pierced with
ancient wells. The Indians gdiher.il around the Wells
I anda village grew up which now contains six thousand in
' habitants; a growth, having regard to the difference in the
resources of the Country and the character of the people,
equal to that of the most prosperous tow us in ours."
The following picture of a household relation
'? gives a clear insight into a portion of the domestic
life of the Indians of this country :?
?? The attachment of the Indi auto his home is a striking
feature of his character. The affection which grows up be?
tween the sexes was supposed by the early writer? up.in the
character of the Indian? not to exist among th.-m and proba?
bly the sentiment and refinement of it do not. but circum
| stance- and habit bind together the Indian man and woman
I as strongly as a?i\ known ties. Wheu the Indian grows up
I to manhood he requires a woman to make him tortillas, and
to provide him warm water lor his bath at night. He pro?
cures one, sometime? bv the providence of the master, with
? out much regard.to similarity of tastes or parity of age; and
1 though a young man i? mated to an old woman they live
j comfortably together. If he finds her guilty of any great
offence, he biiugs her ?p before the master, or the alcalde,
gets her a whipping and then takes her under his arm and
gOCS quietly home with her. Th.- Indian hu?baud is rarely
harsh t.. hi? wife, and the devotion of the wile to her hus?
band i? always a subject of remark. They share their plea?
sures as wwll as their labors; go up together with all their
children to some village fiesta,-and one of the most atfiict
iug incidents in their lot is a necessity thai take? th<- husband
from his home."
At Chichcn-Itza were found sculptured upon
the ruins a great number of hieroglyphics and of
various figures, among which that of the serpent
was found continually to recur. In one place a
great number of human figures are represented,
engaged in a dance, the head-dress of each bc'uifi
a plume of feathers, and the sculpture exhibiting
marks of great care and skill. Upon another
portion of the ruins are paintings of men in dif?
ferent positions?some brandishing spears and
displaying shields as if rushing to battle, and
others adorned with plumes and head dresses in a
sitting pos? ure. There is also a picture of a large
boat containin?7 several persons alioat upon the
water. This is regarded as a most important and
interesting relic. This site is regarded as the
spot wltere the Spaniards made the first settle?
ment in the interior. Its discover}* is placed by
the Maya manuscript between the years A.D. 360
and A.D. 432. Mr. Stephens visited a great
number of other cities in continuing his explora?
tions, but we have no space to follow him. On
the 18th of May he embarked for Havana and
came thence to New-York.
Mr. Stephexs, in a concluding chapter, pre?
sents clearly and forcibly his convictions as to the
much-disputed question,?Who were the buildere
' of the^p cities of which such majestic and imposing

ruins now remain ? As might be expected their dis-'
coven* and examination have been forced to serve
the purposes of even* one who had some precon?
ceived theory to support, and Essays without num?
ber have been written to force the facts into the ser?
vice of these various opinions. Some derive from
them strong arguments in favor of the belief that
this Continent was first peopled by descendants of
the Israelites. The ancient remains found so
abundantly in Wisconsin, especially the ruins of
Aztalan, have been referred to the same people
and the same age. Mr. Stephens expresses his
opinion fully and clearly, that the cities whose
ruins he explored "are not the works of people :
who have passed away and whose- historv in lost,
but of the same races who inhabited the country
at the time of the ?Spanish conquest, or of some
not very distant progeni!ors'.'* In general he be?
lieves they were occupied at the time of the ;
Spanish conquest. The fa ta to which he refers
in support of this belief, he says are every where
set forth throughout his volume. The objections
to it are examined with care and skill. To the ;
allegation that the absence of all tradition is a ,'
stron? argument against his theory, he replies that
the summary and blood}* manner in which the ;
country was conquered absolutely forbids that
traditions shotdd have survived that dreadful
event. Moreover, he says, this absence of tradi
tion is not peculiar to these American ruins. But
for written records Egyptian, Grecian and Ro?
man remains, would be as mysterious now as are .
the ruins of America ; and even at this day the i
round towers of Ireland arc traditionless and the
ruins of Stonehcnge stand on Salisbury plain with?
out a tradition to carry us back to the age or na- j
tion of their builders. It is again u.rged by many
that a people possessing the power and skill to
erect -such cities never could have fallen so low as
the Indians who now linger about their ruins.?
But Mr. ?Stephens replies, that the pages of written
history are filled with records of as terrible changes !
in national character as t?as. The Indians are
not more changed than are their Spanish mas- !
ters. To the last argument used, the alleged ab- j
sence of all historical accounts in regard to the
discovery or knowledge of such cities by the con- ?
querors, Mr. Stephens replies, 1. that the argu?
ment, even if true, would be unsound, since it ;
goes to deny that such cities ever existed at all ; ?
and 2. that the old historians arc not silent con- !
ccming them : that their pages abound with des- !
criptions of these cities so glowing and extraor
dinary that modern historians, and Robertson at
their head, seek to discredit them on that very ac- j
count All the light that history sheds upon the
origin and history of those people Mr. Stephens
thus sums up :
'? According to traditions, picture writing?, and Mexican
manuscript, writt.'ii after the conquest, the Tul tec., or Tol
tecans. were the first inhabitants of the land of Anahuac,
now known as New Spain or Mexico, and they are the old?
est nations on the continent of America of which we have
any knovvledjre. Banished, accordintr to their ow u history,
from their native country, which was situated on the north?
west of Mexico, ?n the vear 596 of our era, they proceeded
southward, under the direction of their chiefs", and, after
sojourning at various places on the waj for the space of one
hundred and twenty-four years, arrived at the banks of a
mer m the vale of Mexico, where the- built the city of
I ula. the capital of the Toltecau kingdom, near the site of
the present city of Mexico.
"Their monarchy lasted nearly four centuries, during
which they multinlied, extended their population, and.
built numerous and lar_,e cities ; but direful calamities hung |
over them. For several years Heaven denied them rain ]
the a'arth refused them food ; the air, infected with mortal
contagion, filled the -raves with dead ; a great part of the
nanon perished of? famine or sickness ; the last kinc was
amongthe number, and in the year 1042 the monarchy end- I
eu. the wretched remains of the nation took refuge, some I
in . ucatan and others in Ouatimala, while some lingered
around the graves ,,f their kindred in the cr??t val- where
Mexico was -forward founded. For a century the land of
Anahuac lay waste and depopulated. The Chechemecas.
lOJlOWlug m the tract of their ruined cities, re-occupied it,
and after them the Acolhuans, the Tlastaltecs, and the A_
tecs, which last were the subjects of Montezuma at the
tune ol the invasion by ihe Spaniards.
" The history of all these tubes or nations is misty, con*
used, and indistinct. The Toltecans, represented to have
beau the most ancient, are said to have been also the most
polished. 1 rohably they w,-re the originators of that peculiar
style of architecture found in Guatimalaaud Yucatau>hich
was adopte, by all the subsequent inhabitants ; and as, ae
cording to their own annals, they did not set out on their
emigration t., those countries from th.- vale of Mexico until
the year 105*2 of our era, the old.-st cities er.-cted by them in

Our readers will scarcely fail to recollect, in con- S
| nection with these very interesting rettearcheB, the i
| abh? and most valuable Lectures of Dr. Hawks
; upon the general subject of American Antiqui- '
, ties, del.verd last winter. He spoke particularly ?
| of many of the ruins to which we have now refer ?
| red ; and all who heard those most excellent dis- i
j courses will read the volumes of Mr. Stephens !
| with deeper and more definite interest. In The i
I Tribune of January 26, we presented, in a sketch ;
; of his concluding Lecture, a general summary of !
. the points which he considered proved and of the :
! inferences which he deduced from them. He did !
I not at all discuss the questions connected with i
origin nr antiquity of .the race who built these now j
, ruined cities ; but seeks solely to prove that the
| race which furnished the. type for these buildings \
must hare been very ancient indeed?whatever
be the age of the buildings themselves. The d?fi.:
? nite point at wltich he aimed was to show that all
j the nations of both Hemispheres must have de- :
! rived those forms of religious worship, of national
j ceremonies, of symbolic writing, and all the others
! which were found to be identical in them all,:
! from some common source ; and that the doc
| trine of the Bible, which teaches that ail the inhab
| itants of the Earth once dwelt together upon the
| plains of Shinar, receive* from this source inciden
! tal support which cannot be doubted or gainsaved.
' We are glad to learn that Dr. Hawks is en?j___d
in preparing for publication an extended Treatise ?
: upon this subject. He is eminently fitted, by his ?
: transcendent ability and familiar acquaintance !
\ with tht? matter in all its relations, to present a '
work far surpassing in interest and value any \
:. thing heretofore published upon it.
We have now finished our cursory examination :
' of the volumes of Mr. Stephens. They are in j
I every respect an honor to American Literature :
] and wc trust that, if national pride and a just j
; sense of national honor can be allowed no place I
or weight in literary matters, the mtrinsic merits I

PUBLIC NOTICE.
An article headed ' To the Public' has recently appeared in
teveral of the Ciry paper-, signed ' Thomas Turner,' relative
to a cure effeered upon him by Bristol's Sarsaparille, and d?
nying a statement made public in thr prints previonsly, that he
was ciirt-d by Sand's Sarsaparilla ; and xchrreas mv name is
brought before the public in each of these article?. I feel it my
duty to make th?- following statement of facts as far as 1 am
concerned. About the last of July or first of August, UW2t
Mr?. Turner, the wife of ' Thomas Turne-.' call<-d on me, re
questing a certificate from me that th?-y were needy, and pro*
per persons to receive thr beneficence of Messrs. Sands, a.?
thef had advertised that '.' the poor would Iv furnished with
tin-ir Sarsaparilla by a recommendation from either the Alder?
man of the Ward in which they live, or thr minister of the
Church where they wen? attendants.'- I freely wrote such
certificate, upon which I was subsequently informed that thr
medicine had been obtained. On the 23d of August Mr?. Tur?
ner called on me again, ??* ?shing me to write a certificate, upon
which I was subsequently informe?! that the medicine had
been obtained. On tli?? 2*.?il of August Mrs. Turner called on
me again, wishing me to write in certificate for them of the
cure that had been effected by Sands*. Sarsaparilla npou her
husbaud. Twrote such certificate., embracing two facts as I
supposed: the one of the disease with which he had been
affected, and the other of theenre that had bien made. She
then slid that her husband had taken the Sarsaparilla about
three weeks ; ihat his pains had all left him. and he had gone
to his work ; and that he was very thankful for the cure that
had been effected. On the evening of the 10th Of October I
calle?! at Mr. Turner's residence, and had a few minutes' con?
versation with him in relation to his health ; he told me that
it was very cnod. I inquired of him relative to the effects of
Sands's Sarsaparilla upon Iiim ; wlieu hr told me that all lie
wanted was more strength, and that with this exception the
Sarsaparilla had cared him. Such are the facts iu the case;
and I must confess, I fell utterly astonished at the appearance
of the article in several papers denying the statement which
h id been made to me, and which I fully believed, as the said
' Thnrnar Turner' had testified to a similar statement before
thr Mayor of this City.

\p- HEADS ?FHAIrt-A. C. BARRY, Artist in
Hair, from London.?The importance which all ages have at?
tached to the head of hair is a clear index of the value ser upon
personal figure, and when, by some capricious freak of Na?
ture, the human form is ?lepnved of its fair proportion, art is
resorted to, in order, by artificial means, to supply the deficien?
cy.?Hence have arisen those wonderful discoveries which hid
Nature defiance. Barry's Ventilating and Gossamer Wigs
and Scalps still stand pre-eminent above all others. Their pe?
culiar light, gos-imcr, and ventilating character, their being
shaped exact! y as the hair grows; their elasticity, and their
superior material and workmanship, as well as their, style of
finish and arrangement, all combine to form such perfect heads
of hair, that they mii.it be seen to be fully appreciated. All
inspection of Bany's real heads of hair will satisfy the most
fastidious that they are rhe best an?! cheapest in the city, which
can only l?e hail at 146 Broadway, corner of Liberty-street, up
stairs._ ?*?*-?' *m
'iT7" LOWNESS OF SPIRITS AND DESPONDEN?
CY OF MIND.?That hysteria or nervous diseases, as well
as hypocondriasis or the symptoms ofa disordered imagina?
tion, are often produced by liver complaints, cannot be denied,
and a vitiated secretion, or black bile, is proverbially stateil as
one cause of melancholy *. this evidently show* the powerful
influence of the liver on rlie nervous system, and the sympathy
produced between the action of the body and,the mind, when
the balance of circulation, and the distribution of sensorial
energy, ate evidently an?l universally overpoised, the faculty's
of th.- latter then languish, are overcast with the most gloomy
anticipations and indescribable despondency, or are aroused to
unequal strength, or morbid acuteness. Spheavily have the
?lerangrd feelings, from this cause, pressed down the springs
and energies of tin- mind. ICICIDK lias been the consequence,
as on the mi>st minute examinations of its causes, no other
could br traced than a feu It iu five biliary secretion, arising
fiom a disordered liver. Who then will subject themselvt- to,
such awful,consequences, when by the timely application of
a never failing remedy the disease may be averted. Stark?
weather's Hepatic-Elixir Will unfailingly remove the grand
obstacle, and contribute to the renovation of the impaired pow?
ers of, the constitution, which accomplished, the springs of I
life will resume tli.?ir respective move.nts, and the patient
will obtain that Mate of health to which he has so long been ft
stranger.
This certifies that I have made use of Dr. Starkweather's
Hepatic Elixir for several months past, and can truly sar 1
have experienced the nio.t beneficial results from if.? use. For
three or four years previous to my taking this medicine, I h as
seriously afHicted with,Dyspepsia or LivBrCompl-iut., I had
consulted ?>-veral physicians and made use of various kinds of
pill? and other medicines before the public, some of which had
an injurious effect, others seemed to gite temporary relief,
without in the least degree removing the cause of my com?
plaint. I have been subject to a very weak anil sour stomach,
and been for weeks together, unable to eat the most harmless
and ?.dable kinds of food without severe distress at the stom?
ach, or vomiting it up immediately after taken. Thi, was ac?
companied sometimes with a loss of;appetite, at other times
with an appetite that neither any kiiidonjuaii'ity of fo?di-;:-uld
satisfy. Tuas troubled about a n-ar before making use of this
medicine, with a hard ->ain in rhe left side, attended with a
kind of languor, great depression of spirits, and a general de?
bility of the whole system. Nearly all thus?? complaints or
symptoms which I have mentioned, with many others are now
entirely cured from the ose of this Elixir, ami what are not
completely removed, do not occur so frequently, with far 1rs?
violence, and are constantly decreasing. Therefore, from, my
own rxperience. au?l from what I know of the rffrct? of the
medicine generally. 1 feel justified in recommending it to the
public as ? perfectly safe and highly valuable medicine fur all
those complaints which it is designed to cure.
