hair is like that worn by Stokes, who
killed Jim Fisk; Frank Lord, the son Of
the late Mr.. Hicks Lord, and Young
George Law. 1t is caused by drinking
champaign in place of water. Cham
paign makes gray hair, while too much
food produces gout. Bennett is drink
er, and not an eater.
If he had SO to buy a meal with, he
would spend $2S5 for campagns and
lifteeen cents for sandwich. Bennett
is really one of the loudest livers in the
country. Besides the big house ND on
Washington Heights left by his father,
he has big double house on Fifth
avenue, a house in London, a "shoot-
!ng-box' in Lancashire, and now a |
"a 900 villa at New Port. All these
'hings cannot cost him less than $10O-
700 per annum. He spends his money
ike a king, and is really admired in
New York.
Mr.. Bennett, though a man Of talent,
