will nut livo together, but every chigoe sets up
a separate ulcer, and has his own private purse.

PAMPAS, OR PLAINS OF SOUTH AMERICA.
There was published* in London, last year,
a volume entitled "Rough Notos taken during
some rapid journios across tho Pampas and a-
mong the Andes.” This work contains many
interesting particulars regarding (|toso exten
sive regions hitherto but seldom travelled and.
consequently little known. It is reviewed in
tho London Magazine, and from that review
we extract the following:
The Pampas are oxtensive plains, which
spread from the Rio do la Plata jo the Andes
—they are productive chiefly of long grass and
thistles; reads are scarcely ^racked through
them; in some parts they are marsh, in somo
bog, ia some loose sand, InhabitQnls are thin
ly scattered over this vast and almost intermi
nable extent of level territory; such property
as they have, is in droves of wild horses and o-
ther cattle; poverty is much more common
than property; but with a horse and a lasso*
and n pair of spurs* tho galloping Gaucho,
which is tho name of the dweller in tho Pam
pas, never knows, or at least never regards
rivation. His food is strips of jerked beef,
is drink is water; his pleasure is galloping,
and his pursuit either catching wild horses and
bullocks in his lasso, or throwing tho bolas at
the guanaco, or tho ostrich. Duriug tho hours
of exertion ho is on horse* no fatigue can Joucli
him; during the hours of repose he lavs him
self down in the open air, and sleeps all night
with no covering but his poncho (or cloak,) and
with no bedding but his saddle, Or tho skeleton
of a horse’s head for a pillow. His life is hard,
but so is he; privations aro his. daily fure. His
luxury b freedom. He lives the life of per
fect liberty—restriction of any kind, except
ing tho natural one of fatigtio and labor, seems
unknown in tho Pampas, The Gaucho is as
happy, and pretty nearly as uncivilized, os
when “wild in wouds tho noblo savage ran.’—
The Pampasj as has been said, spread from
the Atlantic, and are stopped in their course
to the Pacific, by tho Cordilleras of tho An
des, which runs down the continent of South
America, pretty much after the m inner of tho
chine in pigs, and the spine in man; excepting,
indeed* that it is a good deal on ono side, be
ing much nearer, to the Pacific than to tho At
lantic. Neither does the country on the other -
side of tho Andes, in tho loast correspond with
the Pampas, os ribs correspond to ribs. On
tho Pacific side extend perpetually to the ocean
innumerable ramifications of tho mountains*
which consaquently dissect the country of Chi
le into alternations of lofty hill and deep valley.
Both sides of tho Antics—both the Pampas
and Chile aro the scenes of Captain Hoad’s
observations. Ho commences at Bitenos Av-
rcs; we shall follow him, and ranko a selection
of his most amusing and characteristic pas
sages.
There is a very interesting and well written
description of the Pampas, of which we havo
been speaking in tho commencement of thd
book: ,
The great plain of Pampas, on the oast of
tho Cordillera, is about nino hundred miles in
breadth, and the part which I havo visited,
though under tho same latitude, is divided into
regions of different climato anil produce. On
leaving Buenos Ayres, tho first of those regi
ons is covered for ono hundred and eighty
miles, with clover and thistles; the second re
gion which extends For four hundred and fifty
milei, produces long grass; and tho third
region, which reaches to the base of tho Cor
dillera, is a grove of low trees and shrubs.— *
The second and -third of theso,-regions havo
the Same appearance throughout the year, for
the trees and shrubs are evergreens, and tho
immense plain of grass only changes its color
from green to brown; but tho first region vari
es with the four seasons of tho year in a most
extraordinary manner. In winter the leaves
of the thistles are largo attd luxuriant, and tho
whole surfaco of the country has tho rough ap
pearance of a turnip-field. The clover in this
season is extremely rieh and strong; and tho
sight of tho wild catllo grazing in full liberty on
such pasture, is very beautiful. In spring,
clover has vanished* the loaves of the thistles
have extended along tho ground, and the coun
try still looks like a rough crop of turnips. In
less than a month the change is most extraordi
nary; the whole region becomes a luxuriant
wood of enormous thistles, which have sud
denly shot up to a height of ten or eleven feet*
and are all in full bloom. Tho road or path Is
hemmed in oh both Sides; the view is com- ’
pletely obstructed: not an animal is to be seen;
and tno stems of the thistles are so close to
each other* and so strong, that independent of
tho prickles with Mich ihey are armed, they
form an impenetrable barrier. Tho sadden
K wtb of these plants is quite astdnishing; and
ugh it would be an unusual misfortune in
military history, yot it is really possible, that an
invading army unacquainted witrt this country,
might bo imprisoned by these thistles before
they had any time to escape from them. The
summer is not over before the scene undergooj
another rapid change; tho thistles suddenly losi)
their sap and verdue, their heads droop, the
leaves shrink and fade, the stems bccomo bl-ick
and dead, and tlicy remain mttling with the
breeze one against another, until tlic violence
of tho pampero or hurricane levels them with
tho ground, where they rapidly decompose and
disappear—the clover rushes up, and the scene
is again verdant.
Tho vast region of grass in tho Pampas for
four hundred and fifty miles is wiiiMiut a weed*
and tho region of wood is equally extraordinary.
Tho trees aro not crowded but in their growth
such beautiful order is observed, that one may
gallop between them in every direction. Tha
young trees arc rising up, others are flourishing
in full vigor, and it is for some time that ono
