The New York Sun and the Standard
each have tilt at the other occasionally,
and that, we presume, is the cause of the
following interviewing report, which We
copy from the Standard:
Among the distinguished arrivals in New
York is the Hon. B. Hickman, of Washing
ton, who is the guest of Mr.. Charles A.
Dana, the editor Of the SIN. Mr.. Hickman
is in fine health and spirits, and expresses
himself much gratiied at the attention he
has received from Mr.. Dana, who was his
companion and friend while Assistant Sec
rotary Of War. He admires the San, and
regrets that it's circulation is falling off. He

reposed beside him on the sofa. He wore
check trousers of an extreme pattern. a
cheap vest, q natty coat, an irreproachable
shirt-front, and an Orifiamme cravat. A
superficial preliminary inspection of the
battered old beau recalled the description
Of which the strongest features are ''eyes
purging thick amber and plum tree gum,
together with most weak hams" He looks
most like that which, with Major Penden-
mis-, he processes to be ga man of the world,

since gone by-a monument, shadow, and
yaletudinarian.
When aroused from his Owlish rumina-
lions, Beau Hickman became galvanized
into Pickering sort of vivacity with pretty
sslong waits" between the acts Of mind
once alert and shrewd enough-at one mo-
ment chatty and chippy, at the next relaps-
ing into wandering, and silence, and dark
moss like that of the cigar which has gone
out in his hand.
Beau Hickman's mustache is as black as
Governor Hsffman's- smaller.
