NESpNG RoNs.-On this important subject
the Springfield republican says at ought to
be made statutory offence to put a shovel full of
dirt upon the highway after the first Of june,
except where the ground has been viewed by the
County Commissioner, and the work ordered for
the public safety. In general, all the repairing
that is done should be finished three weeks ear
lier than that The true theory Of road making
is that the new earth should be added in the
spring, while the frost is coming out Of the
ground. so that new and Old shall settle down
together for the summer. When this is done,
the addition IS incorporated bodily, and never
heard from afterwards. It Is the only way in
which hard, firm roads can be obtained. On the
other hand, when, as generally at present, the
repairing is put of till after harvesting, we have
bad roads all the fall. execrable roads all winter,
except where the ground is deeply covered with
snow; and, come spring, the passage to and from
even the nearest localities, becomes matter to be
seriously considered, well prepared for if newt
able, or altogether avoided, if this can be done

AN INDIAN CHIEr on THE lsTnNUs.-The
chiefs house like all others. WAS large. being
perhaps thirty metres long by ten wide, and
was built with posts of piiiguary or cha tao.
framed and enclosed with canes and laths :;
the roof was covered with leaves Of wild
plaintain. There were two doors, one at the
side Of the house, giving entrance to the
ground-llo0r, and another at the end, which
opened ,into a tambo, OF supper-room. two
metres from the ground, extending over the
whole width Of the house and about a third
Of It's length. The ascent to this room Is by
ladder, made of a log of light wood, into
which steps are cut.
As soon as we had reached the house and
my baggage was placed in order in corner
Of the room, the chief offered me a hammock.
seating himself in another one hung parallel
to mine, and caused a seat to be given to my
Interpreter. Falander, who placed himself be
tween the two Ny companions and the In

the respect the Indians have for their chiefs.

the Atrato). where desired to pass
After a long conversation, which sounded
like the recital of a litany, with old Faland-
er. whom had made c0nvcrsant with the
whole matter, the chief asked me why. i'
what | wished u find was Of so great impor-
tance. Bolivar had not sought for it, | an
swered that Bolivar was much interested in
its discovery, but that he was TOO much occu-
pied with the war against the King and af-

the same Government, which both De and
were bound to obey.
They resumed THAR monot0n0us c0uycrsa-

said to NE that the chief desired 70 see the
map that showed the places Of his country.
