gentleman who was in Washington last
summer relates the following anecdote:
Col. Haskell, with three or four 9TH
ers, was standing in front Of the U. s.
Hotel, when Virginian accosted them,
stating that he had couple ofnegroes to
sell, and would like to find a purchaser.
Haskell, who is always ready for fun,
told him that there was gentleman in
the room who was DESTROYS Of buying
Accordingly he walked TO the reading
room, and pointing to Hale, spoke to him
and offered to sell the negroes.-The sur
prise Of Hale at the proposal to sell him
the negroes, may be easily imagined
His face colored at the indignity, and he
probably would have shown some temper,
when he saw Haskell vainly attempting
to suppress his laughter. The Virginian
pointed to Haskell. Hale then said, 81 am
