A slip is nailed across each end to keep them in their places, and tlie wheels fall from pole to pole with the regularity of the thumps and stops with which the cogs in the wheels of a watch play into and arrest one another. “1 was very proud of the Jehu ship with which 1 threaded the intricacies of the National road; I have since •irivn acros- the St. (Jothard Alp-, but thi- was the most difficult of the

It led down the side of a pretty stream. They were rather deep, but we forded them, and clambered up on the other side”. The brook which he mentions in the preceding paragraph appears to have been that win-h is immediately east of the p tate Road 43, and the bridge which was then being constructed was the tone arch bridge, which lati r became famed for its perfection of design ar a picture of which was, a few year- ago, given a place in The National Geographic Magazine.
