orcsr s luonmty.The discovery of the Phantom City is announced in a telegram to the North American Review from M. De-sire Charnay, the Central American explorer. During the last few years accounts have been given by the natives of Central America to explorers of a large city they said existed in the country of the Locandones. The descriptions of the city seemed like the Arabian legends of a fairy land- It had, the natives said, white turrets gleaming in the sun, inhabitants who keep up the customs and habits of the times of the Spanish invasion, and monuments with inscriptions thousands of years old. No travelers had visited it, and Mr. Stevens and others pronounced it inaccessible. But the natives still existed on its existence, and its wondrous beauty. At length it became known to explorers by the name of “the Phantom City.” A year ago, M. Charnay, an explorer of indomitable perseverance and courage, undertook an exploration under thedirection of Mr. A. T. Bice, of the Re-view, and nothing more was heard of him until his telegram a few days ago briefly announcing that in the mountainous region in the northwestern part of Guatemala he had found the Phantom City. Further details of M. Char-nay’s discovery are anticipated with intense curiosity.
