A Specimen Sponge.

A curiosity is a man seen at the
white house every Saturday afternoon
and at evening card receptions given
by ladies in society. He made his debut
here, SO to speak, year ago. as Mr..
Blank Blank, of England. He is quite
English in physique, and affects the
English accent perfectly when speak
ing. He is rather fine-looking. and.
with his good figure and iron-gray side
whiskers, might be mistaken for an En-
glish lord. He insists on his double
name, Mr.. Blank Blank, and pleading
ly protests when anybody parts his
name in the middle by addressing him
IS ..Mr. Blank" He is to be seen
everywhere, and always at the front.
taking ladies into supper or with them
on his arm for promenade. At one
house, where the hostess looked with
anxious face when asked: "Can you
tell me the name of that gentleman"
q lady guest said, helplessly: He
comes to my house, but do not know
his name" The wife of a cabinet
minister said, after discussing the man:
He comes to our receptions without
an invitation. We don't know him. and
