Beau Hickman.
HIS ILISEss-sKErcn OF HIS CAREER.


from the Washington Chronicle, Sept. L.
Ere this issue meets our readers Robert S.
Hickman, better known as "Beau," will, in
all probability, have Ito use his own familiar
phrase) "passed in his cheeks" and be among
the things that were.
To give "Beau's'' biography would be SUI
perhuous, even could the points thereof be def
initely ascertained. There is not a resident of
the District to whom his face is unfamiliar,
while his red {gold) and weite (silver) chips
have lightened the pockets of nearly every
prominent man in the country.
His ancestry is found in Virginia family,
the members of which, it is stated, have Of
late years cut him off altogether In early life
he was what is termed a ''gay boy" and ia
the chances of the turf he invested, unsuccess-
fully, an inheritance of nearly $40, 900. Down
as he was in pocket, though, his ''turf'
friends stood by him until he became, with
natural talent and oily tongue, recognized
ward of the travelling public. He never drank,
but always "took a cigar; ~ and to his credit
it must be said that, although he lived from
hand to mouth at times, in his patronage of
bar-room cheese and cracker boxes, he never
ordered a meal or a con diment which he did
not promptly pay for. Many are the anee-
dotes related of his ingenuity in fooling rail-
road conductors, hotel keepers, and others -
and, in fact, some of his doings in that re-
spect have become traditional American jokes;
but so respectful was he in mien at all times
that no one will utter other than a compass
sionate sentiment over his remains.
He has been ailing for about a week, and on
Thursday last became confined to his room on
Maryland avenue southwest, and on Saturday
afternoon, being discovered in a dying con-
dition, was removed by Sanitary Officer Burns
to the Providence Hospital, where his lifes
tide was ebbing fast when our reporter left

affection completely enveloping the brain. 1t

SEVENTEEN TRuNEs.-The Misses Hunter, of
Morristown; having spent an agreeable sum
mer vacation from their home lately arrived in
New York, previous to their starting for Nor
ristown, and purchasing at the Morris and
Essex depot the necessary tickets, presented
the same to the baggage master, respectfully
requesting him to have their trunks, seventeen
in number, checked. The shrewd dignitary
gave long, shrill whistle and informed them
that the express Office was the proper place in
which to apply if they wished TO take their
trunks with them, as each passenger was al
lowed but one hundred pounds of baggage
Inquiry at the latter place revealed the fact
that the exorbitant tariff of Sl.25 was de-
mauded for each trunk. Upon the ladies re-
monstrating the expressnan gallantly relented
and agreed to send the contraband goods for
one dollar each. But the ladies, remembering
that passenger (and trunk if he choose) is
carried over the road for eighty cents, demur-
red even to this magnanimity, and without
further ado quietly walked TO the ticket office
and bought fifteen tickets. These they exhib-
tied and the baggage official gave the ladies
the checks which they sought. The result of
this financial man@uvre is that the Misses
Hunter have fifteen tickets, only two being de-
manded of them by the conductor as they
are good until used, according 10 stipulation.
the company may be compelled TO transport
fifteen passengers, with many trunks, if
necessary, from New York to Morristown.

A WAwAssEr VICTIM MIR. F. A. Tolson,
of Maryland, recovered the body of Miss Mar
bury, one of the victims of the late Wawasset
disaster on the Potomac. He twice made spe-
cial search for the body, the first time unsuc-
cessfully. OF the second effort the Petersburg
appeal says:
Scarcely had he resumed his seat and ball
anced the oars when he heard the sound of
something striking against the boat. Looking
over the side he discovered body floating in
the water. He Immediately drew it to him,
found bracelet on the arm Zone of the means
by which Miss Marbury was TO be identifed)
Turning The body be also found bracelet on
the other arm, and striking match discover
ed that it correspondent with the description
given Of those worn by Miss Marbury. The
body was then taken into the boat, and there,
through the painful suspense of three tedious
hours, the living sat by The side Of the dead,
not daring to quit her lest thieves who iniest-
ed the scene should pilfer the jewels aud COM
nit the body again TO the stream. Finally a
colored man came up, and through him intel
lgence was communicated to her friends. Mr..
Tolson remarked, upon the arrival of the
friends of the deceased, that the striking of
the body against the boat thrilled him with
an indeiinable feeling as Of mute appeal to
carry it back to its friends.

A VALUABLE FERTILIZER. The fol-

teen in which the excelsior" is held by the
people Of Virginia. The Editor bears his per-
sonal evidence as to its high quality, after
fully testing it as a crop grower, on his own
land. He says:
We speak knowingly and adyiscdly when
we say that decidedly the most valuable fcrtil-
izer nov in market is the Excelsior" manu-
featured by J. J. TURNER & Co., of Baltimore.
The "Excelsior" has been used extensively in
this section of Virginia FOR several years, and
we have yet 10 hear of the first farmer or plan
ter who is not more than pleased with its eff
fects upon both the wheat and tobacco crops,
in pushing forward their growth, as well as
largely increasing the yield. Having given il
a trial onrself, we are enabled to speak from
personal knowledge as well as from the fine
results obtained from its use by others, and
We therefore unhesitatingly recommend it
to our farmers. -aug29, sl3, 27,oll.

New York is crowded, jammed, crushed to-
gether. Even in the hot weather there seems
no diminution of her multitudes. Packed into
eleven thousand acres arc nine hundred and
eighty thousand persons. 1t scarcely gives
breathing room, when the space occupied by
streets, stores and alleys is taken into conside-
ration. The average density of population is
greater than that Of any European city. 1t is
becoming unbearable. The people are fairly
breathing in each others faces, and it is hard
TO turn round without disturbing your neigh
Dor. "Give US more room" now is the cry.
Let US travel faster, get into the suburbs,
spread over the pleasant fields and woods that
lie beyond this wilderness of brick and NOR
tar. Our children smother and die. Our own
lives go out prematurely, baked out of us,
frozen out of US, worried out of US. Even
Wall street echoes that once popular poem Of
N. P. Willis, Room for the lepers; Room.

York is destined to suffer in its daily worry,
in its death rate, and in its holocaust of chill
dren's lives, more than any city in the world.
