THE DARIEN CANAL.
The Survey Complete.
Special to the New York Herald.l

"
CH1pAzASA, April 25, via KINGSTON,
Nay 3.-The survey Of the Darien
canal route from Cupica bay to the
Atrato, via Nspiti river, is complete.
The United States steamer Resaca has
has returned to this settlement to await
the arrival Of the party from Boca Paya
Commander Selfridge thinks his dis
covery successful for the purpose intend
ed. The distance from Cupica bay to
the Atrato, along the bends of the Ma
pitt river, is sixty-nine and half miles;
on straight line il is only twenty miles
from the Atrato. Some of the party
proceeded to Vega village, ten miles
further up for provisions. The Napiti
river flows through mountainous
country for about thirteen miles from
the foot of the divide, and is sup
piled from the Doquada river
as tributary. 1t is proposed
TO make thirteen locks from the Do
quado, eighteen miles from the Atrato,
10 the divide, then to tunnel through
and descend to the Pacific by nine
locks. The survey occupied twenty
seven days. No intelligence has been
received from the explorers up the Cue.
1t is certain they have not met the
party following the Narronetita river
from the Atrato. The party will return
as they came Those on this side intend
drawing line from the il cad waters OF
the Cue. Great hardships have been
experienced by the party moving along
that river, and two-thirds of the men
are down with fever. Only four men
and an officer were able TO advance to
the divide. The entire party will re-
turn to the Resaca in fortnight. 1t is
still hoped that the route via Tuyra
will prove successful.

A good joke is told Of little four
year old fellow who, having disobeyed
his father, was about to incur the pen
alty-a switching. The father delber-
ately prepared rod, while his son
stood q sad and silent spectator. AS
the parent approached to the eunpleasant
duty, the boy started at brisk run to-
ward a aneighboring hill. The father
pursued, and for time the youngster in
creased the distance between them; but
gradually his strength began to fail, and
When he reached the hill and began to
ascend be soon lost his vantage ground.
Nearer and nearer the irate father ap-
preached, andjust as the top OF the bill
was reached, aud as he came within
arms length Of the little fugitive, who
was ready to fall from exhaustion, the
boy quickly faced about, dropped upon
the ground, and with an indescribable
cast of couutenance exclaimed Papa,
that-makes fellow-blow don't it?'
This changing Of the subject" was 80
extremely ludicrous that the father
laughed hartily over the strategy which
his hopeful son exhibited, and the rod
was not used.
