.7escher's Luxurious Habits.

Mr.. Beecher has directed his manager, Mr.
Pond, to book an extensive lecturing tour for
next year. Mr. Beecher's salary is $4,000
per annum. lie averages to receive double
this sum from his lectures and a large ad-
f!itional sum from his pen. He is not rich,
however He keeps open house with his son,
with whom he resides, and gives, loans, in
dorses, and does other unbusness-like things
constantly at heavy loss to his treasury 1t
is said that beyond his farm at Peekskill, the
house and stock thereon, and his library and
bric-a-brac there and at Brooklyn, the great
word-rainter has nothing to show for his
large income for each of very many years.
His library is so large that it is now being
catalogucd with view to soon making sale
therefrom. He has expended il is estimated,
$3.50, 900 in books, and as many more have
Leen given him by publishers.
His house at Peekskill, built not long since,
Nj BeecEer says has cost him $40, 900. OH
ers who watch business matters closer and
are familiar with its growth say S10,000
would be nearer the correct sum. His cows
are all Attorneys, and the herd is believed
to Ice worth $4,000 to $4,000 His farm
and its manner OF running and open hos
pitality is enough in itself to absorb a large
income. 1t is yet somewhat incumbered His
collection Of bric-a-hrac would make a large
nnI valuable museum. Fine prints, bronzes,
painting sta;uary anything beautiful in
shape or color finds worshiper in Mr.
Beecher, and it is said that he cannot 90
through the streets of New York or Brooklyn
without becoming a purchaser as heroically
as M may labor to resist and avert his eyes
from tempting show windows.
