J The oawpaigu of General Crook against the Apaobes last year opened to research a tract of land 200 miles square which in , rich iu relics of our country s unknown past. It contains a chain of ancient ! cities in ruins and a coterie of ancient 1 towns inhabited by a race which holds 1 itself aloof from Indians and Mexican . and American, aud prides itself on itade- | scent from the ancient inhabitants of the • oouutry, and maintuius a religion and a > government, both of which ate peenk *r to itself. We are indebted to Capt. VV. 0. M tuniug, of the regular army, for tLe tacts in our pos.sesaiou concerning this newly-discovered race. G;»pt. Manuing, who was with Gen. Crook during the whole campaign and was recommended for promotion by the latter on account of gallantry in the held, explored in the in* i terrain of fighting. He visited the in- 1 habited towns, talked with their rulers, and informed himself concerning their I customs. The lurgest sett etxient is in : New Mexioo, about thirty miles south of the border line. It is a type of the rest. A strong wall surrounds it. Within uro houses for about four thonaaud peo ple. The population has dwindled, however, to about 1,800. The place was mentioned by a Spanish Jesuit, who pub lished, in 162!), a description of his wan derings in America. About 1535 another Jesuit wrote a minute acoonnt of it. This aocouut is true in nearly every detail to day. The language resembles the Chi nese. Bo an aid nt nrcbroologiHt, who visited the city a year ago, says. Homo of the minor oustoiuscorrenpond to tho.-e of the Ghiueae. Thu women are of the true Celestial type—almond eyes, protu berant bodies, littlo feet, &o. They dress their hail* aud themselves in Chinese fash ion. Their religion is barbarously mag nificent. Montezuma is their deity, ills coming is looked for at sunrise each day. Immortality is part of their creed. The priests have heavily embroidered robep, whioh have been used for unnumbered years. The ceremonies of worship are formal aud pompous. The morality of this strange people, as far at least eb for eigners are concerned, is irreproachable. It is probuble that they keep a record of events bv means of tying peculiar knots in long cordH. This, if true, seems to establish some kinship or remote acquaintanceship be tween them and the Aztecs. Their Gov ernment is a conservative republic. Power is vested in a council of thirteen caciques. Six of them are selected for life. Old men arc gonerally chosen, in order that their terms of office may not be inordinately long. The remaining seven are eleoted from time to time. One of them the executive. Another ia a sort of Vice-President. There is a War Chief, a Chief of Police, &o. These seven caciques are usually young men. They servo but a few mouths. Suffrage is universal. It is scarcely necowary to supplement these facta with the statement that these dwellers iu towns are quite far advanced iu civilization. On this point one fact speaks volumes. Woman is not a beast of bnrden among thorn, as she is with all Indian tribes. She is held in high respect. Her tnfcks are oonfiued to those of housekeeping. The written records which wo have mentioned show that thiB isolated community has maintained its traditions unbroken for at least throe end a half centuries. Its history carefully studied m-'.y prove a clue to the problem of the aboriginal Americans. The mound- builders of tbo North and the city-build ers of the South may be represented in the town-dwellers of New Mexico and Arizona. Copfee wrfH Milk Indigestible.—A statement concerning coffee has been made by the Abbe Moigno in Les Mon- des, to the effect that nutritious as coffoe and milk are whoa taken separately, a mixture of both produces a compound which CAnnot be digested or assimilated. {Exchange. The above is not surprising at all to tn, for wo long Binco learned the fact by ex perience. Though fond of coffee we for years refrained from driukiug it because it proved indigestible, that is afler taking coffee for breakfast, wo could taste it all the forenoon. Incidentally one day, when refusing coffee aud giviug the rou- 8on, a frieu t suggested that if we would omit the milk the difficulty would bo ob- L viuted. We tried it, and for the past ten years coffee has been our regular morning beverage without produoiug anv symp toms of indigestion.—Portland Argus. We can answer for the above from similar experience. Many think they ca not drink coffee without milk; but try it a week, and you will not waut to go back to the old way. To us milk spoils the flavor of a cup of coffee, as well as pro ducing the disagreeable effect alluded to above.—Manchester Union.

At once they bogan to emigrate to the United States, and there are now 128,000 of them in this country.
