ABOUT HATS.
TExtract from Dom Piatt's Washington
Correspondence.

Extract from Dom Piatt's Washington
CorrespOndence.l
In the discussion over the San Dom
ingo treaty, while Mr.. Garrett Davis was
asserting the fact that the population of
the Island was too degraded for citizen
ship, Senator Nye interrupted by calling
his attention very earnestly to the fact
that we had New Jersey, and all things
considered, it had proved a success. The
Senators from that State did not see
where the laugh got in.
AT a dinner party the other night, the
same Senator Nye put his new silk tile
carelessly upon the sofa. A few minutes
after the veteran philosopher Greeley sat
down upon and crushed the hat fear
fully.
Damn it, ''roared Nye, "I could have
told you it wouldn't fit, before you tried
it on"
Speaking of hats, am reminded Of
an anecdote illustrative of the ancient
Jerry Blacks habits and absence Of
mind. Coming into his room one night
with the papers of an important case, he
sat down, put his hat upon the floor, and
began studying the case, while reading
the papers. Getting excited, he got up,
stuffed some tobacco in his mouth, and
began walking over the floor, reading at
intervals and expectorating all the time.
After nearly an hours exercise of this
sort he threw down the brief and clap
ped his hat upon his head. As he did
so several yellow streams started down
his venerable countenance. On investi-
CATION he was disgusted to find that he
had mistaken his hat for a spittoon.
