Newly Discovered People.

An interesting tribe on the Upper Amazon has been discovered, which, in its division of work, is reminiscent of-the guilds of the middle ages.. One portion makes clothing and nothing else, another one is purely agricultural ; another devotes its time and labor to the construction of weapons and so on. Their pottery, however, is the most notable of their productions. Some of these jars are extremely large but very thin, although strong and durable. Some of the smaller vessels are almost as thin as paper.
