there beaver hat in the European fashion.
which suited him SO well that be was unwill.

worn out. he apnlied ia a Chinese h...er
and, giving him all sorts OF directions. told
him TO make another like it. The man vent
TO work, and IN few days brought hat OF
the required shape, not OF beaver. bat az
some stuff very soft and glossy. nj. Botta.
on bis return to France, preserved this ca.
rious specimen of Chinese work manshin. and
wishing 10 have il repaired, intrusted Il Ia :
halter, who examined it carefully. and Was
much struck with its mode Of fabrication
which vas altogether new TO him. He ~,
amined the article wi the greatest a,ten.
ton, and short time after the present fash.
ion Of silk hats came 10. The inventor nat
cnted his discovery, and made a large for
tune, held his tongue about bis debt to the
Chinese tradesman, who, seeking substi.
tntc for the beaver which he could not pro.
cure, devised plan OF replacing it by thu
light tissue OF silk which ~ present almost
uniserssliy constitutes the outward GOVERNS

A document has been Published, which
was intercepted by the Liberal Government In
Mexico, showing that Estrada, Mexican
politician, has for some time been engaged
sa Europs arranging monarchical dynasty
for that unfortunate country. He has bean
supported in his purpose by prominent pub
lie men. His choice IL the Spanish Bourbon
Don Fernando, but he says he has obtained
assurances to the effect th at in case the Eu.
ropean powers would not consent to Don
Fernando, Austria would supply IN Arch
duk. The document would seem to be au.
thentic, and the project has doubtless been
pursued persistently and in good faith. The
idea of establishing . monarchy in Mexico
has never yet been entirely abandoned by all
her public men, and the later disturbances
seem to have infused new life into the scheme.
But it 10 fruitless and foolish project, new
ertheless, for no sovereign can ever be safely
seated on a Mexican throne. And ii v ould
be a. singular as il would be foolish and
funny to attempt to found an Austrian dy-
nasty in North America.
