Fortunate Mauds, tho ancients called
them. Wbat measure of good fortune
they associated with flcuiiliucM is In

George Bj mil Gordon, tho explorer,
contributes io The Century an account
of the dipcoverleg in Copnn under the
title of "The Mysterious City of Hon
duras." Concerning the ancient race of
Mat as Mr. Gordon snyg:
Not only did traditions exist iu the
minds of tho people, bet many of the
old Indian families still preserved their
b: oks, the remnants of once extensive
libraries, iu which the history, tradi
tions aud customs of tbe people were re
cordnd. All these books that the Span
ish priests could lay their bauds upon
they burued. Four only have come
dowu tn t:s priceless relics that iu
some unknown manner found their way
into Europe an libraries, where they lay
bidden until unearthed by goholurg of
recent years. Tbe books of the Mayas
consisted of long strips of paper made
from maguey fiber, and folded after tbe
icntitn r of h screen so as to form pagea
klout I) by 0 inches. Theso were cover
ed whh hieroglyphic characters, very
lieutly drawn by hand, lu brilliant col
ors. Boards wete fastened on tbe outside
pages, and tbe completed book looked
like a neat volume of largo octavo size.
The characters in which they are writ
ten are tho rsn.e as those found upon
the Ut i.o tablets and monuments in the
reined cities of l'alenquo and Copan.
'J his system of writing, which is en
tirely diHtiiirt from tho picture writing
of tbe Ar.tciw, was the exclusive posses-
tit n cf tbo Mayer. It was a highly de
veloped system, und, ns investigations
buve shewn, cmbiaced a number of pho
netic elements. Iu this respect, as in
many others, the Mayas were far in ad
riinco of any other American people. A
venerable hot vague and elusive legend
that bag come down to ns ascribes the
invention of these characters to Itzam
na, tho Maya Cadmus, a great hero god
who iu the beginning of their history
as a natlcu led the people from tbe
east across tbe sen, gave tbem lawa and
ruled over tbem for many years,
Lord Alvanley.
Lord Alvauley followed Sheridan and
Bruuimcllas tt coyer of good things, but
those most generally qnoted have a
touch of narcastio malice, for cynical
talk was a fashion of tbe time. When
Brummell made bis midnight flitting to
Boulogne at tbe suit of tbe Jews, be re
marked complacently, "Bruminell bag
done quite rigbt to be off; it was Solo
mon 'a judgment." He waa a kindheart
ed man aud gave many proofs of gen
erosity to acquaintances in distress. One
of those be bod assisted wag tbe well
known Jack Tiilbot, a reckloea prodigal,
wbo bad repeatedly borrowed of him.
When Tiilbot wag beggared and lying
on big deathbed, Alvauley met hia doc
tor and inquired about tbe invalid. The
answer was: "My lurd, I f ear be la ir
a bad way. I bad to use the lancet. 'r
"You should have tapped bim, doctor,"'
said Alvunley coolly. "I fear be ba
more claret than blood in bis veins. "
Much inoreexouKoble, considering the
man und the circumstances, wus Alvau
ley 's expostulation when bo had been
persuaded to dino with tho ecccutrio
millionaire Noeld in bia new mansion
iu Grosvcuor square. The host, witb
tbe vulgarity of a nou veau richo, was ex
patiating on the sumptuous decorntiona
of tl.c apart tent aud, in the words of
Miltou, "lotting dinner cool. " "I dou't
care whut your gildiug ooBt," iaid Al
vauley bluntly, "but I nmmost anxious
