OMAHA, Mob, sopt. 8, 1878.
Perhaps am ono Of tho very few people in tho
United stateH who will regret to hear Of tho
doash Of poor old Boau Hickman" mover
visited Washington but l mado it my business to
look him up. aud generally found tho Beau poor,
needy, soody, and glad to 500 mo. To moat poo
rle io was bore but to me he novor rendered
hitnBcN obnoxious, and I confoBs to the yery bad
taste OF always andlpg in Hickman !.
BounoE OF uNEap1No AMUSEMENT.
Hts anecdotes Of dead statesmen, aud tho pecu-
uafities OF some Of tho living onos, wore so ex-
tremely interesting, and fon mon could talk bet
tor than Denu aftor dinner, In IN casy-chair,
aud with good cigar to puff. Then Webster
Clay, Benton, Calhoun, Haync, and scoroa Of
othors camo from their graves in al their glory,
and Boau would sit for hours aud toll ntorios
OF tho Washington-lifo Of those great
mon. bclisve, a. rule. ho was worry truthful,
and mndo 1t point noyer to apoak III Of tho
| dead.
| In their Tins, both Clay and Webster ad-
mitted Hickman into their society, and made
sort OF companion of him. Thon ho vns not the
poor, old, dccrepld, nl-looking man wo hayo aoen
him OF late years but TALL straight, we'll
| dresaed, handsome, daahing fellow, with money
In hls pocket, and bank-aocount to draw upon,
Ho had $4,000 left him, but loat it betting at
| hoEao-racos. 30 polite was he, aud courteous In
bis mannerB, that, for long timo after he lost
! his money, the turf-mon received him and nor
| 1nitted him to
nEr WITHOUT PUTTING up."
| When he "lost, he promised to pay; and,
,, Whom he won" ho collected tho stake with as
eini. family, we'll raised, and gentleman both
oy education and IN mannors' His relatives cut
nun as oeao-oeas On their bounty, and perhaps
visited "the family" as he called his brother.
