ORIGIN OF THE HAT.

We owe the hat, as we owe most Of
our manufactures, to Asia. In Asia men
first learned the art Of felting wool, so As
TO compose the substratum Of the fabric.
Wool, so long As it contains the natural
yolk or animal grease, refuses to felt
that is, its fibres will not mat together
into compact and close-grsined mass,
such as constitutes felt. When the yolk
has been extracted bys chemical process,
the wool has tendency to interlace its
fibres, aud to adhere firmly to the union
thus formed; and from very remote pc
riod this secret was posscssei 4 by the ORR
entails. The hats which are constantly
alluded to in Scripture-those, for in
stance, which were bound upon the heads
Of Shadrsch, Mcshac, and Abednego,
when they were cast into the Assyrian
furnace, were genuine hats, but probably
adorned by turban cloths wound abous
them. l have seen the selfsame hat
tall, narrow cylinders Of gray felt, sur.
rounded by q handkerchief or eloth--on
the heads Of the Jews Of Asia. Nor was
the use Of the hat Hebrew monopoly.
The Kurds, Persians, Armenians, and
some tribes Of the Turks end Tsrtars,
wear the hat, as their fathers did in Sa.
lsdin's day. The high lambs wool bon.
net Of tho Persian, is but brimless hat
with nap Of exaggerated roughness.--
HISTORIAN Christians of Kurdistan wsaI
hats almost exactly similar TO q battered
IIish caubeen, only Of brown or dirty
white color. Throughout the East, the
dervishcs and wandering fakirs uay bs
known by . tall, marrow hat Of light
hued felt adorned by greasy rag, and
towering upward like chimney pot,

THE ISSUE.

The Boston Post, in an article opposing
the cls,nor for the prostitution Of this
contest into war of emancipation, says:
u "Let the line be distinctly drawn let
those who do not approve of the policy
Of the Administration in this war, take
their stand in . distinct body, and those
who sustain it gather beneath the folds
Of the glorious banner Of tho Constitu-
tion, and the weakest be forced to the
wall. IfMr. Sumner and William Lloyd
Garrison are the true cxponents of Mas
sachusetts' sentiments, let the country
know il; IL they utter the opinions Of
only mesgre minosity, 10 is essential to
the political health Of the State that ths I
fact should be established beyond equiv
ocation. DO not permit them to dodge
behind one party organization and then
another, but wherever they are, draw
them forth. Let those who believe in
them follow them, and those who no not,
cast them out. The stencil is becoming 2
rank; fumigation must take place, or po-
lisical rottenness will sink the State into
an untimely grave" A''''

CURIous CouRTsHrp OF WILLIAM THE

exceedingly curious, as characteristic Of
the manners of a scmi-civilized age and
nation -" After some years delay,
William appears to have become dos-
perate; ana, if We may trust to Tho evil
dencc Of the Chronicle of .Ingerby,' in
tho year 1047 waylaid Matilda in the
streets of Bruges, as she was returning
from mass, seized her, rolled her in the
dirt, spoiled her rich array, and, not con
tent with these outrages, struck her re-
peatedly, aud rode of at full speed
This Teutonic method Of courtship, ac-
cording to our author, brought the affair
to a cri,i-; fIr Matilda, either convinced
Of the strength of Williams passion, by
the violence Of his behavior, or afraid of
encountcring second beating, consented
to become his wife. How he ever pre-
sumcd to enter her presence again, after
such a series Of euormitics, the chronicle
ssyeth not, and we are at loss to
imagine."l E-Laial ssU hb
