The Sickles Mansion.

Wash. Cor. Cincinnati Commercial.
Passing along Pennsylvania avenue
the other day l saw that workmcn were
busy with the Stockton. Sickles-Coiiax
house, that it was dismantled and its front
torn oft. | can think of houses wherein,
we're to live, would be so oppressed
by the lives lived there before me that
should never find my own again. Wash
ipptoa has hosts OF such houses. This
Sickles house was one Of them. Who
would want 10 live with the ghosts of
such SIN, falsehood, sorrow and death
forever stalking from behind the doors
and through these silent corridors? II
this is not true, why do strangers hunt
for it, with "There is the Slckles housed"
Just as they pause and gaze and say a few
steps further on, "Therc Is the Decatur
house! Out of that porch came the Com
modore the morning he fought the duel"
And travelling away to Biadensburg
pause and say: "liere is the famous duel
ling ground; down yonder Decatur re-
ceived his death wound, and how many
more2" We'll, the workingmen are
busy ut the Sicklcs house, and whatever
they do with it, it cannot excite the curl
osity il so long has done. That will be
transferred to the space of earth that
holds its foundations. "There," the PEG
pie will say, "s.ood the famous siekles
house. 1t looked thus and thus; all is
changed now" 1t has long looked shah
by amid its towering neighbors- white
succeed, two story house, with high steps
and central door, and square hall and
high attic windows 1t WAS at first called
the Stockton house, and was built by
Purser Stockton, n relative OF Commo-
dore Decatur. 1t was afterwards occu-
pied by Lew Woodbury., the father OF
Mrs. Montgomery Blair. while he was
5, cretsry Of both the Treasury and the
Navy. Long after, the Sickles family
came into il. MARY CLEMMER.

thatbaby souethinglf How dcyuu sx-
psct father to support family and get
no sleep7'
This interrogatory sufices. The poor
little woman doses little Johnny, and here
are three royal residences built out OF the
proceeds of baby's walls. Modern civil
izstion is 60 more than stopping differ
emit sorts of collie. Mr.. Puilmsn's cot
tage is built of the proceeds OF pwhng
older babies to sleep. Mr.. Child's cottage
is the best here; he puts his readers 70
sleep. Grants cottages are closed up; ne
Is like aMacbeth." Still It carried sleep
to all the world. The cottages OF Long
Branch are slender screens of frame, carv-
ing and varIegsted slate, made green
with q little creeper. They face the sea
like bits of Swiss carving against the
Alps. A long fog dissolvss themi they
last, at the best, one hospitable gener-
alton. Yet when, in the future, men
come here and say, "a hundred years
ago all government business in summer
was transacted on this bluff, beyond the
bluff line, where now the sea is beating
the land like housewife beating eggs"
the visitor will battle where hospitality
used to be, ard with his naked foot stir
up these cottage timbers. For, as sil the
guide-books tell you, the bluff is reced-
ing. l never read local history in my
life but it began with geological re-
cession. Cape May is sliding back, all

CLAIMS. .." '.. .E .
We pass on the road the long hair
aud affectedly indolent lounge of Henry
Ward Beecher's shallow son, Theodore
Tilton. An insufferable pastry .cook in
letters and lectures, he fans himself as
he goes by, as if he had just got out Of
the oven OF brain work. 1t must fatigue
Theodore to work his mind, as there is
80 little of it. 1t is like setting baby to
ran a foot race. Mr.. Shanks of the
Tribune tells me that both Beechcr and
Tilton have neglected the woman they
injured. He says Tilton has done moth
ing for his wife, and Beecher has cared
nothing and she has dropped poor and
fat between them, neglected by hus-
band, lover and brother, while Bes-
sic Turner is literally starving in Brook
lyn. She had a good situation as a school
teacher, at or near Pittsburgh, and was
assured of great consideration and profit
if she would give 1t up and testify against
her master, Tilton. She did testify with
aplou,b and assurance, and now she eats
the bread Of penury and despair. Alto.
gether, we have not had worse exhibit
of the baseness of sentimentalism than
in this Brooklyn nest, where were inter-
mixed the eggs of doves and serpents,
setting. hens and mud turtles. and the
whole emmotional commune. Mr..
Beecher, also, is TO lecture next winter
Ye who have poor around you, take care
that for every dollar you spend on that
sensation you do as much for your own.

A New York Sensation.

Last Friday q rare but not unparalleled
ed scene occurred at the new fashionable
Broadway hotel IN New Iork-the Ross
more. Early in the afternoon hand
somely dressed lady called to see Mrs.
Iiuntoon, well known As agent OF the
Cleveland (Ohio) Lightning rod compny.
The two women met IN the public parlor,
when the stranger asked the other how
long she had been married. The answer
was 1.-TWO weeks" The strange lady then
informed the bride Of II fortnight that she
had been married to Mr.. Huntoon for
twelve wears, and had five children by
him; bit Conformation which quite dis
concslt,d the protested wife, but she
hastily withdrew her claim. Learning
that her unfaithful spouse would return
in an hour, the real wife proposed TO wait
for him, and persuaded the false wife to
take her to her room and wait there. fhe
two repaired to luxurious apartment on
the psrlor floor, and in little while Mr..
Huntoon returned. The proyerbial brass
of the l,ghtning-rod professors did not
desert him on this occasion. He reed
his true wife cordially, asked after the
children, and then coolly proceeded to
his toilet. He invited his wife to dine
with himself and his mistress tior such
she was, and knew it all the time), which
WAS Indignantly declined. She asked
him for 500 and the diamond pm he
wore "a birthday gift from herself), and
the man complied with these requests As
complacently MS il he were swindling a
customer. The sequel will be a divorce
suit. 1t seems thai the frail creature
made tho Acquaintance ofthe wicked hus-
band in Boston, and he at once became
infatuated with her. Hesent his wife TO
the old home in Bennisgton, VI, short
time ago, and has been lsvishing silks,
laces and diamonds on his mistress so ex-
trsvagsntly that it reached his wife's ears.
On her arrival in this city she tracked
the guilty pair to the Rossmore hotel,
with the above result.
