THE ANCIENT WHITE PEOPLE OF SOUTH AMERICA. [EY DEREK MANSON IN 'THE TIMES,""] Those who have read Prescott's Con quest of Mexico" will remember what stress he lays on the prediction of the return of the bearded white god Quetzal- coatl, and on the effect it had on the mind of the Aztec Monarch, Montezuma II. had been, like some of his predeces Bora, a priest as well as a warrior, and the assurance of the identity of the ancient founder of Mexican civilization with the loader of the newcomers from the East obsessed his mind with the strength of religious faith. The fair. complexioned reformer and civilizer had gone back to the land whence lo bad come; but in leaving he had promised to. return the lapse of time had made him a god, and his every word had become an absolute truth; and with the omens that preceded the appearance of the white men

on

the coast-inundation, famine, drought, and many an abnormality there could be no doubt that the divine. promies was being fulfilled. And the will of the Emperor-priest was paralysed by the thought, he dared not raise a sacrilegious hand against his god; his scoptre was about to pass to nobler. grasp

Had Montezuma paused to think over the points of the compass and a map of his own dominions, his paralysis would I have been cured; he would have seen that from the south of his kingdom the sun rose, not over the Gulf of Mexico, but along the great Isthmus; that Quetzal- coatl had come from Guatemala and not from Cuba er. Florida, and that the occap. over which he would return was not the Atlantie but the Pacific Had he thought over the Aztec name of his god his mind would have turned in the same direction; he would have recognized that it was from Guatemala came the magnificent feathers INDO-CHINA BRICKS.

that went to make his crown, that the home of the Quetzal (trogen resplendens) was the tropical forests of the Isthmus. His ancestors, in giving the name of Brilliantly-Feathered Serpent" to the bearded white reformer, had pointed out. the land and ocean from which he came; he was the wise and strong personality that had issued from the home of the Quetzal, and had returned to it.

THS. WRITE PROPLE OF CENTRAL AMERICA..

Had Montezuma been inclined to reflect on the peoples of the Isthmus, whom his dynasty had conquered, or tried to con- quer, his thoughts would have turned to Guatemala and Honduras for the returni of the white god. There they had found, er had left in ruins, dozens of beautiful stone cities that had evidently long! preceded the Aztec and pre-Aztro cities of the Mexican plateau. Against them, and fierce warriors from the north like them, these cities had been built on precipitous spurs and strongly fortified. Where they had not yet penetrated with their conquering ferocity, on the slopes of the hills that looked to the north and on the plains of Tabasco and Yucatan, the cities, like Palenque and Uxmal, had made no provision for self-defence.

Here Montezuma would have found the prototype of his white god in the founder of the civilizations on the Gulf of Mexica His name, Kukulkan, has the same meaning BS Quetzalcoatl Feathered Berpeat"--and was, in fact, its original, He was bearded and white, and he evidently came to the north from the old Guatemalan civilizations. He has the same forms as the white god of Mexico has in the sculptures and on the vases; and these characteristics of pale faces and. beards are extremely frequent in the representations of gods both in Central America and Peru. And one of the singular things about the peoples of the Isthmus is that there is a large sprinkling" | of blonde-haired, blue-oyad, European- featured men and women in all tho Indian tribes inhabiting the mountainous provinces that face the Pacific, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Soconusco, Guatemala, and even in the more northerly Yacatan.

All these facts have to be taken together in order to find an explanation of any one of them. This Europeanism, much of it blonde or golden-haired, is confined to the coasts of the Pacific Ocean, or the ranges near to them, just as the stone culture, and especially the great stone culture, is confined.
