„ Tlffi MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. FEBRUARY 17,489*.A CITY OF THE ANCIENTS.PALENQUB, ONE O? THB WON-

DERS OF THB WORLD.

Once the Center of a Dense Popula-tion, Now Hidden In the Depths ofa Tropical Forest—lnteresting P.el’caof a People Whose Name Even isUnknown.

From the A>tc Fori Times.Among the most interesting and exten-

sive ruins of the cities of those inystoriousraces who antedate the Spanish invasion ofCentral Aiaeriea, and whose history iscarved in the symbols of an unknowntongue on many tablets and monuments ofstone, are those of Palenque, which is onthe ninety-second meridian west ofGreenwich tyid in about 17' 20' north lati-tude, ia Chiapas, on the border lands of oldMexico and Yucatan.

Palenque was visited by nearly a half-so.ire of travelers before its explorationunder competent direction was attemptedin 1840 by Stephens and Catherwood. Butthey reached the site at the beginning ofthe rainy season, at the end of a journey ofextraordinary difficulty, full of hardshipand disaster, and conducted their re-searches under quite as discouraging condi-tions as did a ly of their predecessors. Sincethen there has been no elbort whatever tobring to light the archreological riches ofthis wonderful ruin.

The work of exploration was done withextraordinary intelligence and thorough-ness under the circumstances, and a wisediscretion was undoubtedly exercised in theselection of the subjects for description andillustration, but the explorers turned awayat last with hearts full of regret over theirinability to lay bare more than the mostprominent and easiest accessible features ofthe vast monumental piles thatform the ruins of what musthave been the center of a dense andintelligent, if even morally hope-lessly degenerate, population. Ste-phens says: "We were exceedingly anxiousto make excavations, clear out the mass ofrubbish, and lay the whole platform bare,but this was impossible. It was probablypaved with stones or cement, and from theprofusion of ornament in other parts thereis reason to believe that many curious andinteresting specimens may be brought tolight. This agreeable work is left for thefuture traveler, who may go there betterprepared with mon and materials and withmore knowledge of what ko has to encoun-ter. ”

Palenque was accidentally stumbled uponby a party of Spaniards who were travel-ing in the iuterior of Mexico in 1750. Theyhad wandered in search of things new andstrange into the region north of Chiapaswhen they all at once found in the midst ofa vast solitude ancient stone buildings, theremains of a vast city, still embracingfrom eighteen to twenty-four milesin extent, and known to the Indians bythe name Casas de Pidra3. The Indiansthemselves could give no account of itsorigin. To this day it is not known bywhat name it was called, and the namegivon to it, Palanque, is taken from tho vil-lage near wnich the ruins stand. Two ex-ploring parties are sent out by Spain, onounder Capt. Del Rio in 1787, the other underCapt. Dupaix in 1805-’6-’7, made reportsupon the Palenque ruins, which reportsweio published in 1822 and 1835 respect-ively, too long after the work of explora-tion to accomplish any desirable resuit.

When visited by the American explorerstho ruins wore overgrown with so denso aforest of gigantio trees and tangied under-growth that a person ten yards distant inany direction could not be seen. And hav-ing no axes or shovels or spades, but onlythe machete—a short, broad-bladed swordof the Indians—with which to clear awaythis accumulation of centuries of luxuriantvegetable growth, but littlo, compared withthe entire ta-k, could be accomplished.

Fine buildings, constructed of stone, witha mortar of lime and sand, were found hero,the outer walls of which were covered withstucco and painted. The pri ucipal of tuesestructures were the so-called palace. Itfaces the east and measures 228 feet frontby 180 feet deep. It stands on an artificialelevation40 feet high, 310 feet in frontand rear, and 209 feet on eachside. This elevation was originallyfaced with stone, but the crowding vegeta-tion has left naught Dut the foundationstanding. Tho palace is not more thantwenty-five feet high, but it is renderedvery imposing by a broad projecting corniceof stone. The front is pierced by fourteenarched doorways, about nine feet wide each,and the intervening piers are between sixand seven feet wide. The piers which re-main standing are ornamented with figuresin bas-relief and intaglio inscriptions inhieroglyphics. In some of these theremains of red, blue, yellow, black,and Avhite pigments were dis-covered. The figures, usually drawn orengraved in profile, are of persons, maleand female, in attitudes of worship gener-ally, clad fantastically and ornamentedwith indescribable headdresses, necklaces,and jewoledregalia. Every tablet containsan inscription in symbols of the forgottentongue, which, if it could be read, wouldprobably tell tho history of the picture.The palace was divided and parti-tioned by interior walls of masonry intoa multiplicity of small rooms opening uponinterior courts, of which they were four.In one of the rooms was an elaboratelycarved altar of stone; in another therewere sculptured tablets; and on the eastaud west sides of a court 80x70 feet inarea, in the northeast quarter of the palace,were ldrge tablets of hieroglyphics, colossalfigures in relief, and smaller figures offemales, richly robed and urnamentej, butcrouching in attitudes expressive of fearand terror.

Adjoining the palace on the southeastcorner is a structure standing on a pyramid110 feet high on the slope. It is 70 feet lougand 25 feet deep, and about 80 feet higb. Ithas five doorways and six piers, all stand-ing, topped by a wide cornice of stone, witha roof that is shaped much like a mansardroof of recent architectural design. Thowhole front is richly ornamented in stucco,and the corner piers are covered with hiero-glyphics, each containing ninety-six squares.On the interior walls are three tablets ofhieroglyphic inscriptions carved in sym-metrical lines out of stone. Une wasonly about half finished when thework was arrasted forever by theunknown catastrophe that came “likea thief in the night” and obliterated therace builders and all knowledge of theirliterature. The solution of these inscrin-tions would in all probability shod the lightof trut i upon the dark mystery of the ori-gin and history of the ruins and their build-ers, and might reveal things that are morointeresting and important from an authen-tic point of view than the discoveries atHerculaneum and Pompeii. The hierogly-phics are of a similar character to thosefound at Copan and Quirigua, indicatingthat they wero engraved by th3 same ra;eof people.

Remains of an aqueduct by which thecity was supplied witn water from a streamclose by adjoin this ruin, and further on isa broken stone terrace, about sixty feet ontheßlo, e, with a level esplanade from whichrises another pyramia, now overgrownwith trees. It is 134 feet high on the slope,and on its summit is another stone buildingfifty teet wide and thirty-one feet deep,having three square doorways in front,but no other opening. The buildingfaces the south, contains three cham-bers within each other, and sculp-tured ornaments and hieroglyphics insideand out. In the inner chamber there is analtar, and over the altar on the wall a re-markable sculpture in bas-relief. Centralin the picture is a ncbly-carved cross, asignificant figure in this place, surmountedbv an apparently deified bird. On eitherside of the cross are a man and a womanstanding in the attitude of offering sacri-fice to the bird dioty. A tablet containingover a hundred hieroglyphic inscrip-

tions occupies a third of the spaceon the left and undoubtedly relates

Jto the graven picture. The remainingbuildings are similar In character tothose w hich hare been described. And inthe dens •f< re-ts that have ov nrrown thosite of the ancieat city are hidden decofroni the gaze of ra in as many aud as im-portant objects of archaeological iuterest asanv that have yet leea disclosed. But on <

statue was disc >vored—that if a femalefigure, 10 fee 6 inches high, and in ire ro-se.sibling Egyptian portrait statuary thananything el-e discovered in this new “oilworld.” But it is a sufficient [ri raise ofother statues ::nd monume its i.i the ,1 >nthsof tho forests rounds ab-iut. Wherethese great monolithic idols camefrem, how they were taken fromthe quarry, how trasporte1 anderected, with what instrument they weresculptured and the thousand colHfnd andconnected questions relating to the design-ers and builders of the mastivo siructuresround about aro questions o. tho keen,stinterest that call jouder for solu: io i thana:iy other unsolved problem of history an.lare yet hidden in the depths i.f tlie forestthat year by year are deepening tho obliv-ion iu which they will be eventually f n everlost past all bureau power of resurrection.Unless tho probe of science lx> son appliedthese treasures of antiquity will slip foreverfrom the grasp of civilization.

HE HAD SEEN SOME FISH.

It Waa Before the Days of FancyRods, Reels and Such Gimcracks.

From the Louisville Journal.There are several old-fashiouod fisherman

in the Indiana Fish and Game Association,who look upon the genteel anglers whotalk about rods aud flies with pity akin tothat with which a student of mind diseaseregards a patient who angles for butter-flies with cobweb lines in rivers of moon-shine. Among these is George AV. i'.tts,who has lived in this county, man and b iy,fur sixty-three yours, and locks good tomake it an even 100.

“I have seen s >rae fish in my time,” saidMr. Fitts, retrospectively. “In 1838—1 re-member the day as clearly as yesterday—--Bam and Amos Hanway drew a 200-vardseme on White rivor, at my father's farm,four miles north of the National ro.itbridge, and got over 100 barrels—bass,pike, salmon and suckers.”

Mr. I’itts was here interrupted by an in-credulous whistle. Ho paid no attention tothe offender, ally flsbermau, but continued;“Sam aud Amos made a businoss of fishing,and made their start in life selling suckersat 2 cents a pound. No fooling with a poleto get fish then; no talk about eree’.s, lead-ers, flies, or any such gimcracks. 1 caughtover sixty barrels of fish at one draw witha seine iu this oouuty less than sixteeuyearsago.”

“Where!”—a dozen voices at once.“The place isn’t there any inure. It was

right here in this county, seven miles downtheriver, at a slough called Bell Fuddle. Ithas washed out. I got from eight to tenbarrels of fish—bass, channel cut, and reileyes.”

“What weight was the biggest bass youever caught?” was asked.

“The biggest bass I ever caught," saidMr. Piths, weighing each word carefully;“tho biggest bass I ever caught wuh hookand line was one I took at the Michignuroad bridge, four miles north, on Whitoriver. It weighed niue pounds and sevenounce-. Of course, bo gave mo a greatlight, but the biggest fight I evor had wasin 1878, with a smaller fish, a bass weighingseven pounds and five ounces, that I liftedfrom tho wet at Schofield’s mill. Ho wastwenty- ix inches long, and a beauty.”

“You didn’t measure the big bass youspeak of?” inquired a listo :or.“No. Ho was not as long as tho F ill

Creek fellow, but broader and not so unlive.What do you think of catching eighty-seven pounds of ba-s one afternoon, insidean hour, without hook, line, net, or gig?Well, 1 did that once, four miles up Whiteriver. The dam had broken, ahd "the fishwere running up through a narrow chute.I threw out with mv hands on the brush atthe side of tho break eighty-seven poundsin an hoar.”

Tho crowd was silent, but Mr. I’itts re-lated ono moro experience. “I oncestripped." ho continued, "and went intowater eight feet deep to catch a six-poundbass. I caught him, too. I drove him outof deep into shallow water and then nabbedhim witli my hands. Tho way 1 did it wasthis: A man hod shot an eye out of the fishwith a rifle, and he directed me where toswim and wade. By keeping on the seoiugside of the fish I drove him into the shallowwater on his blind side aud then capturedhim. There novor wa3 a better stream forfish than White rivor. But that was in thedays when few people fished. Now, here’sa great city full of fishing people, and thestream is fished out. Then there are know-ing people who take advantage of the fisb.Once, I’m not going to say how long ago,Ham Hanway and Dick Norwood wont toBroad Ripple fishing. They were alone,standing on the apron ef the datn, whenHam saw something iu tho water under theapron. ‘Give me that minnow net, Dick,’said he- ‘no use foulin’ with a hook andline.’ Well, in less than one hour, withthat minnow net, they lifted eighty verypretty bas3. They strung the n nicely, andcoming to town, bragged about their luck—caught eighty bass, and allowod everyone to suppose they had caught them on aline.”
