The Senator and the Dromios.

The senior Mr.. Gay, of the National Ho-
tel at Washington, bears quite likeness OF
Gen. Cass and upon this the correspondent
of the New York Times tells the following
story:
A stranger, who supposed he knew mine
host very well, put up at the National the
other night. Since this house has become a
crack hotel at the Capital, it is quite full at
this time, and the new conner was necessarl-
ly, for the first night, sent to the floor to
sleep. Coming down stairs the next morn
ing, little cross, be met Gen. Cass there,
who has fine suite of rooms III the hall,
stepped up to him, and in language more
forcibly and rapid than elegant said
'I'l be id if III stand it! You've put
me at the top of the house. must have a
room somewhere lower down
Gen. Cass, interposing and nervously-
Cir, you are mistaken in the person you are
addressing. l am Gen. Cass, of Michigan
Stranger, (confusedly.) Beg your pardon
Gen. Cass--thought it was my old friend
Gay. Beg thousand pardons, sir. All E
mistake, | assure you, SIR
The General passed out of the building,
put soon returned, and as luck would have
it, the stranger met him full in the face
again, but in another position. This time
he was sure he had mine host, for the Sena-
tor from Michigan he knew had just gone
out. So the stranger stepped boldly up,
slapped the General heartily and familarly
on the shoulder, eXclaimng:
"By heavens, Gay, I've got rich sell to
relate met old Cass up stairs, just now,
thought it was you, and began cursing him
about my room
Gen. Cass, with emphasis.) We'll, young
man, you've met wiM old Cass ogain'

A Twelve Pound Chunk.

A returned Californian relates the follow
inc GOOD one to the Boston Gazette:
The landlord of hotel, built of boards,
and located near the Tekulk Diggiugs, was
presented by his wife with fine twelve
pound boy, which coming to the ears Of a
wag, he circulated the story that the host
had found a twelve pound chunk, which ran
like widtire through the place, and caused
quite an excitement. A few weeks after
wards a miner from another quarter, having
heard of the twelve pound chunk, arrived at
the hotel, and at once made application to
the andlady for lodging Her husband be-
inc absent she attended to ;he guest, when
the following conversation took place, which
should be prefaced by the remark that the
story had exploded several days before his
arrival, and the landlady had enjoyed the
sell with the rest.
1T was your husband, maam, wasn't it,
who GOT the twelve pound chunk"
"lIe had some help, believe" replied shc
with sly laugh.
"Yes, I s'pose so. Where was he dig
ging," inquired the miner.
"Oh, that's a secret
eyes, s'pose it is He thinks he'll get
another there, don't hc:'
Il don't know what he thinks, but know
he won't"
81 shouldn't think it probable, although
it's possible"
so they say"
The miner here paused while, and at
last, after some reflection, lie said:
a suppose the chunk is gone, amt it?'
ooh, no. it's in the other room. Would
you like to see it?'
"WelI, should; but tan't laying round
loose, is it,"
Not exactly" replied the landlady, throw
ing open the door, "for there it is in the
cradle"
The miner bent over, when a pair of club
by fists were extended, and giving the jolly
landlady one look, he left for parts unknown
