NEw LAND ROUTE TO THE PAuFgc.-The modes
Of transit from the Western to the Pacific
coasts Of this continent have hitherto been con-
fined to those by land, through the Isthmus of
Panama, the Isthmus Of Tshuantepec, the rail-
roads through our Western Territories and the
British possessions, and the lon: and dangerous
route by seq around Cape Horn. The inbabi-
talts qf the Atlantic coast Of South America
were thus compelled to keep up connection
with the other side Of the continent mainly By
the latter route, which has always been re-
garded with terror by navigators, or BY the
somewhat safer passage Of the Straits Of
Magellan.
A new route, however, has just been dis
covered over the Andes, supposed to be avsila-
BILE for railroad, in the construction OF which
IL il probable ths governments Of Chile and the
Argentine Confederation will unite, and thus
form q connection between Valparaiso and
Buenos Ayrcs. The Andes, this stupendous
backbone Of South America, has presented an
obstacle deemed insupersble, except for the
slow passage or mules, between coast and
coast n this discovery can be made available,
not only will the voyage BY the Horn be dis
psnsed with. but Il will induce new South

How to Cure a Smoky Chimney,

| A correspondent, who lives in New
Hampshire, states that in those parts resides
man called Joe, a fellow noted for tn,
tough lies which he can tell, and as a sam
pie; relates the followinHt
joe called in at HOltOn's one day, ant
found him almost clicked with smoke, wher
he suggested, "Yod don't know as mucl
about managing smoky chimneys as l do
squire, or you'd cure EN-"
"Ah," said Holton, With interest, "diG
you ever see smoky chimney cured"
"Seen smoky chimney cured2" said ole
Joe, "I think l have! had the worst onC
in Seaboard county, once, and cured it 4
little too much"
How was that ?" asked IIolton.
"Why, you see," said Joe, "you sec !
built little house out yonder, at Vol
Hollow, ten or twelve years ago. jim
Bush, the fellow that built the chimneys
kept blind drunk thrce-quarters of the
time, and crazy drunk the other. l told
him that I thought he'd have something
wrong, but he stuck to it and finished the
house.
"Well, we moved in, aud built a fire
next morning, to boil the teakettle. All
the smoke came through the room and
went out of the windows, not bit went up
the flues. We tried it for two or three
days, and it got worse and worse. By-and.
by it came on to rain, and the rain begun
to come down the chimney. 1t put the
fire out in minute, and directly it came
down BY the pailful. We had to get the
baby of the floor as soon as We could, OF
it would have been drowned.
"In fifteen minutes the water stood knee
deep on the floor. Then went out and
took look. 1t didn't rain half so hard
outside, and l pretty soon see what was
the matter. The drunken cuss had put the
chimney wrong end up, and it drawed
dOwnwards; it gathered all the rain within
a hundred yards, and poured it down by
buckets full"
"Well, that was unfortunate" remarked
HoltOn. But what in the world did you
do with the house? Surely, you never
cured that chimney"
"Didn't l, thoug ?" answered old Joe.
Yes, l did"
How 2" asked Holton.
"Turned it the other end up" said the
incorrigible, "and then you ought to have
seen it draw. That was the way cured it
too much" ..
Drew too much 7" asked HOlton.
"Well, squire, you may judge for your
self" said old Joe. "Pretty soon after we
got the chimney down the other end up, l
missed one Of the chairs out of the room,
and directly ! see another Of 'em shooting
towards the fireplace. Next the table
went, and seen backlog going up.
Then / grabbed the old woman under one
arm and the baby under tother and started ;
but just as got to the door, seen the
cat going across the floor backwards, hold
ing on with her claws to the carpet, yelling
awfully. II wasn't no use. I just seen
her going over the top Of the chimney, and
that was the last Of her."
well, what did you do, then? ?" asked
HOlton "Of course you couldn't live in
such houseY"
"Couldn't /, though p said Joe, "but
did. l put pOultice on the jamb of the
fireplace, and that drawed t'Other way, so
we had no more trouble"
That is what we call hard lying.
