Discovery Of INummies at Durango, Meaico.

a sculpured handle, chaplets, necklaces, &c. Of

worked like those of our Indians to-day, bones Of
vpers, &c. 1t remains 70 continue these interest

on the Nile, and that their luxurious civilization


was broken up and overpowered by the hardy

i'ehring Straits and the Rocky Mountains. lhe

were rehearsed at an earlier day on the shores


of California and the plains OF Mexico. II is
