story of Beau Hickman.

1t is related OF the famous Beau Hickman
who died in Washington year or two ago,
after living many years by his wits, that in his
best days he once went to tirst-class hotel in
Baltimore and after registering his name,
said he wanted the best the house could afford
for his money, twirling in his hand at the same
time quarter of dollar. The clerk saw be
fore him an elegantly attired gentleman and,
as Beau requested, assigned him handsome
parlor and bedroom. Beau lived like fight
ing cock, ordering Wines extra dinners and
everything palatable, for week, at the end of
which time the bill was sent. The amount
was something eXtravagant.
Nothing abashed, however, he strOlled into
the Office and confronted the clerk. Look
here, sir; there must be some mistake about
this; when cane here | told you wanted
the best you could afford for my moneys
worth. had this quarter then, producing
the conn and it's all I've had since" The
clerk waXed angry, and high words followed.
Your fault, sir" said the imperturbable Beau,
mot mine. You may kick me out if you like,
bat I'd rather go alone"
Tradition says they were about to proceed to
violent measures when the landlord appeared
upon the scene, and, looking at the name on
the register, recalled the peculiar vagrant char
acter of the man before HIM Gust then becom-
ing notorious in Washington and discovered
that he had been "egregiously sold" The
thought flashed across his mind, If this joke
gets out shall be the laughing stock of my
friends and never hear the last of it." Delhi
Grating moment, he turned to Beau and good
naturally remarked, "Well, Hickman, that's
the best ever had, but | can't keep 1t. I'll
make bargain with you. Here, take this five
dollars and pay your fare to Washington, Beau
quickly pocketed the half eagle and go over
TO the - House, stay week on the same
terms that you have staid here and I'll give
you dinner every time you come TO Balti-
more"
Thank you" replied Beau, without a smile
I've been there for two weeks and they sent
me here"
II Is needless 10 add that Beau disappeared
cut of the front door with an accelerated mo.
ton. and the landlord never heard the last OF
his attempt 10 get even with his neighbour
Phdadelphid ChroHicle.

LONDON, Sept. 8.-Captain Goldsmith
and wife. crew of the miniature boat, Uncle
Sam, from Boston for Europe, have arrived
at Liverpool in a vessel which picked
them up. It seems Mrs. Goldsmith at
from sea sickness. Her illness after few
days assumed serious form and threaten
ing inflammation of the bowels. Constant
wakefulness on Goldsmith's part was thus
made necessary. The 10th of August.
when off Newfoundland, a tremendous
northeast gale was encountered, and sail
was shortened. 1t was feared the boat
would swamp or capsize, and Captain
Goldsmith stood, knife in hand, ready to
cut away the halyards. In consequence Of
the boat shipping a heavy sea, Captain
Goldsmith finally lay to, with two drags
over the bows, and tried to take some
rest The tremendous sea almost filled
the place where he was resting, and his
wife was sitting 10 the water up to her
shoulders. After baling the water it was
found that the drags and two oars had
been carried away, and all provisions ex-
cept canned meats were destroyed. Mrs,
Goldsmith was growing rapidly worse
Her husband On the night Gf the 10th of
August began to consider the desirability
of returning to Newfoundland. The gale
continued the 18th and 18th. All fasten-
ings but one Of the main sheets having
given away, at 3 o'clock on the afternoon
of the 10th, after seventy-two hours of
wakefulness, Capt. Goldsmith lay down to
sleep, but was awakened by the shock of q
heavy sea, He saw large bark and
chased it for an hour, finally coming up
with her and Mrs. Goldsmith was hauled
aboard with a rope. Everything in the
Uncle Sam was lost aud the boat scuttled.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-Leaders of the Ash
ton trades union fear they will be unable
to prevent a strike, as the mill hands
believe it would be beneficial in reducing
production. even if it did not prevent a
reduction of wages. At meeting of share
holders of the Union spinning mills at
Oldham, running 100000 spindIes, sug-
gestion to run on short time or to stop the
Oldham mills entirely, so as to bring a
pressure to bear on the Liverpool cotton
market, seemed to meet with great appro-
val.
