For the RECORD
Beau Hickman.
The subject of this sketch was known
by all who sojourped at Washington city,
however briefly, during the last four de-
cades. Every locality has its institu-
tions, and Beau Hickman was as indis-
pensible to the complete makeup Of the
Federal capital as George Francis Train
is to the world at large, or as Billy Be-
Damned is to Phoebe. Forty years ago
young man. with no eucumbrances
save the vanites of youth, and the
vouchsafe Of an ample patrimony, went
from Virginia to Washington to see the
sights and to have time. With zeal
and application worthy If success in any
Of the avenues of industry, he threw
himself into the internal maelstrom
known as society" and won renown rs
a miiksop. Eschewing drinks, he took
to games, and, having long been known
as the best dressed man on the "Aven-
ne" he fell casually, if not fatally, into
the distinction Of Leader of the fash
ions" Merchant tailors at the East en-
deavored artfully to engage this man
engage him to wear their clothes. And
this he did For many years he was as
sociated, in the thoughts of men, with
the grace and symmetry of cut and form /;
and the Beau Hickman STYLE as rep
resented on the fashion plates, was the
only one accepted and adopted by our
people. Polite, scrupulously neat, fresh
and inviting in words and ways, and,
withal, witty, Beau Hickman was fos-
tered and favored by men in high au-
thority tor full twenty years. OF late,
and especially since the beginning of
the war, he was known and tolerated by
many, and by few pittied. Poor at
thirty and old at forty, this man died at
sixty pauper of fully fifteen years
standing; and, but for the following par
agraph clipped from the telegraph report
to the RECORD of September 4th, nothing
on this subject would have been written
THE police are looking for the per
sons who mutilated the body OF Beau
Hickman. When the undertaken went
to remove the body to the Congressional
burial grounds he found the legs dis
iointed ut the hips, the head severed
from the trunk and skinned. The hear
was found in the bushes near by, wrap
ped in newspaper. What could b
gathered was inferred in the cemetery.
Standing with his back to a post, il
front of the National Hotel at Washing
ton, during the Spring of 1852, hi
weather.rusted raiment hanging loosel
about his rheumatic limbs, and his i'm
poverished face giving forth indication
of pain and misery, an old Washingto
Man speaking OF him said, "Ther
stands man who never did a day
work in his life, and never earned a dol
lar; be has lived life Of idleness, an
has earned for himself, and appears t
enjoy it, the distinction of The Ores
, American Dead Beat. And SO it wa
with Hickman man more widel
: known than any of the celebrities wh
have flourished at Washington and hay
: gone before him.
