Wall street fnancsr:
"The career OF Huntington has been Ike dis.
play of fireworks but evnueseont. For
little while he spent money like water lie bad
six or eight orses--two pairs Tor carriages ;or him.
self and wife, and several FAST irotttrs. His side
board was brilliant with massive plate lie was a
great man nj Saratoga, Niagara and Rockaway,
where his wife had moro trunks aud more diamonds
than any else; and in town he kept up two
matrimonial establishments, one regular and The
other irregular-one Christian home, the other
a@Niohainrneaan seraglo--one according to the
laws ot New York, aid the other according TO the
customs OF the Mormons--wthin a few doors OF
each other. He was a prince ioran hour. People
ate his dinners, drove his hurscs drank his wine,
borrowed his nrnuey, and Wondered how Ire got il
all. But the crash came az last. ;nd what are all
his former splcndors compared with las present po-
sitloni de bough; his uxufies at a tremendously
high price.
