stantly thinking of it ; and that evening, atmy stopping-place a few miles down the valley, I told my host thestory, forgetting, when I commenced, that I was talking to anotherMexican, who would quite likely take offence at my reflection on hisrace. He joined in the laugh, however, but looked awkward enoughat the table that evening, where one could see but little improvementin his stock of knives and forks over that of his neighbor. The likeness of Mexicans to the ancient races considered, is seenalso in their knowledge of pottery. They understand the art well.There is a strikmg resemblance, too, in their methods of manufac-ture and styles of pottery produced. The illustration exhibits thatsimilarity in a marked degree. The foregoing facts confirm the statement with which we began,— that the Mexican is related to the ancient races described. Thepoints of difference are few, in comparison with the points of resem-blance. He belongs to our marvels of race. 220 MARVELS OF THE NEW WEST.
