AN ECCENTRIC CHARACTERISTIC recent
sale at auction of the Dexter property in
Newburyport, Mass, brings to mind num-
erous stories current in that city respect
ing the eccentric individual who flourish
ed there during the latter part of the last
century under the self-assu med title of
Lord Timothy Dexter. This was the for
tunate merchant who, with brains either
so scant or disordered that he was contin-
ually making himself an object Of derision,
still blundered into what in those days
was considered stupendous fortune. It
was Lord Dexter who, on consulting a wag-
gish acquaintance as to a profitable way of
investing certain moneys, was advised to
ship cargo of warming pans to the West
Indies, and availed himself of the advice,
to the great mirth of all who heard of the
transaction. The cream of the Joke, how
ever, was that the warming pans found sale
to the sugar manufacturers for ladies', and
De Xter realized a great profit on the ven
ture. A shipment of red wooden nightcaps
to the coast of Guinea, suggested as a joke,
turned out a most fortunate speculation.
Somebody wishing to humbug the old fell
low, told him one day that news had come
that all the whales were dying of. Dexter
went TO work and bought up all the whale.
bone he could get hold of, fairly cornerng
the market, after which he unloaded at an
immense profit. Having at last bundered
into great wealth, he assumed the title of
Lord Dexter, and spent great deal of
money in laying out attractive grounds
about his house, but ruined the effects pro-
duced by skillful gardeners by setting up
in every direction carved wooden figures
of the most hideous description. Twenty
five years ago some of these figures were
still to be seen on the grounds. Lord Dex-
tor becoming ambitious of literary distinc-
ton, published book with the title of "a
Pickle for the Knowing ones !" but being
conscious of weakness in the matter Of
punctuation, put all the periods. commas,
and semicolons and the like at the end of
the book, telling his readers that they
might pepper and salt his production to
suit themselves. A few years before his
death he had a mock funeral, aud afterward
beat his wife because she did not exhibit
sufficient grief over his fictitious demise
Some time ago the house and grounds once
occupied by this strange character came in
to the possession Of a wealthy citizen Of
Newburyport, who has made the place one
of the most beautiful residences in New
England.
