MISCELLANY, Ygs,
..a Sketch from LiJtfe.-~For some days past, the spirit of inquiry has been very active in endeaYoring to ascertain the nature of a nondescript, whose recent appearance in Washington street has not q little puzzled the guessing iacul- ties of many of our shrewdest yankees. The animal moves erect, and bears a general resemblance to the sons of Ad- am, but appears unused to christian ha. biliments; from the non-appearanee Of q shirt collar, and the vast quantity of su- perauous muslin which projects be- meath its chin (which is almost buried in a large eravat) thereis strong reason to believe that it wears its inner gar ment down side up. The ssfore" paws of the animal are encased in a pair of white kid gloves, of which tappears re- rnarkably proud emitting no opportuni- ty to stroke it's chin, alter the position of its hat, sGc. the luxury ofadusting a shirt collar tits yet to taste.

 4 few evenings since, the creature visited the theatre, and soon became the ssobserved of all observers The House of Aspen, did but little to direct the attention of the audience from tha singular animal, who evinced con- sciousness of itsimportance by sitting with it's back to ths stage; altogeth- CT reclining its head, first on one paw, then on the other-ever and anon em- ploying both paws to regulate the aiore. said extremity of the shirt: the most singular, however in this animal appen. dages, is it's cane. We have seen ivory headed canes--silver headed canes iiiori, headed canes -and 3 great varie. ty of canes too tedious fomention-but when this animal reared itself on it: hid legs, it presented to the serutini. szing ogles of the already astonished an dienoe, d cane with an immense head of caasbric muslin. The effect was electrifying beyond conception. On leaving it's seat, it developed somethino like human propensity, inasnueh ;s 1t made fer the bar by the most direct course. ~
