An crlcan Wh Which Were tune to the P Lived by HI* Wit* y Quick—Fro V« For er*' Field—A Plunger for Three Y Spec the Bultli American. Washington, June 20.—"Beau Hick friends, but he died with man had out enemies." This is the only epitaph of a character who has bee known throughout this the prince of hummers. To the general public Beau Hickman is only known as the great American dead beat, and his tricks and devices for obtaining money, a meal become historic. There have ever thought that this bummer may have had a history full of romantic in terest. It was during the congressional sea son of 1834 that Robert S. Hickman came to Washington. Ho was at that time about 21 years old. Who his parents were will never be definitely known, it being sufficient to know that he came of a family of well-to-do Vir ginia planters. It i country a bed have a few who impossible to determine the amount of fortune possessed by Hick when he first came to this city, but it is estimated at about $20,000, a good sum in those days. It lasted Beau about three years. It was during this golden period of his life that he earned the sobriquet, "Beau." His money spent in a princely manner. All that it was possible for a young swell with money to do, he did. He attended the races as though a duty devolved upo him, and his Knowledge of horse flesh de his tips of great value. He knew more about the races and possible win ners than a paddock full of jockeys, and was always accompanied at the track by a select and exclusive coterie of choice spirits. Beau Hickman, according to his state ments afterward, got all the enjoyment life affords o'ut of these few years, and the rest of the time intervening until death came, was to him but an existence to be borne with as little annoyance as possible. He was a sturdy, athletic young chap, full of the fire and life and hail the courtly graces of a Virginia gentleman. Unlike Beau Brummel, he did not faint at the odor of work or badly cooked dish as though It coffined his grandfather. In stead, he could take a f. shudder over ix-barred gate one of his Virginia thoroughbreds as gracefully as he could tread the mea sures of a popular dance. Women ad e, and his conquests were many and toman tic. Knowing as he did, however, that his fortunes were of the weakest, he made no effort that we know of to make an advantageous alliance. id him, of we know of to make an advantageous alliance. Beau was in the fashionable three weeks after his arrival for the first time in Washington. He never quitted it until forced to by tho sudden break of his fortunes. Routs and halls, select social gatherings and all the fashionable dissipation of the day were his constant occupations.

For the man with many re sources and huge business interests this Beau it meant the end of the delightful life, he was leading and many other things that he didn't care to think of. He opened the rest of his mail mechanically und went out to take up his gay life where he had left off the nl^ht before. From this time dates the beginning of the beat, and the end of the life of the moneyed gentleman. many years after the breaking down of his fortune Beau managed to live by a sort of Bohemian vagabond age. He became a sort of good-natured highwayman, calling on all he met in life's pathway to stand and deliver on the presentation of a good story, or on the working of 8»>mo clever scheme for extorting the needful. He really lived by his wits, for lie possessed such a com modity. lie did n»>t confine his sphere of action to Washington, but often ex tended his visits to Baltimore, Philadel phia and New York, ami during the racing season followed the horses about to the various tracks. In the winter, however. Beau nhvays returned to Washington. Hero he met the prominent public men of the day, his list of patrons, being regularly mulcted of a set sum called by the incorrigible Beau his "as sessments." These ranged from a quarter to a dollar, and it is not on record that any man that Benu classed among his patrons ever refused to pay his assess ments. Had he done so. Beau would have cut him dead, and the next day it would havo been known fn of the avenue to the other that statesman so-and-so had been stricken fn Hickman's list, and, a: those days, the statesman suffered ; to him in the midst of •ord means little.

Often he would sions select a good, high-priced cigar, which lie would subsequently dispose of to a oicnr merchant with whom he had entered into arrangenmnts to dis pose of his stock of cigars thus accumu lated. Although Beau lived well for the first succeeding his financial wreckage he eventually became very needy. In the first few years of his vagabond life he beat tho hotels and tailors with a magnificont assumption of impudence. Slowly, h.jwever, he de scended into the most absolute degrada tion Tailors refused him credit, an*i he was desperately einbarassed to find clothes to cov a of is to few y himself.

Corns and bunions afflicted him sorely, and gave him a miserable, hobbling gait. Ho boro .low il p manfully, however, and swore it was the gout that afflicted him. In the latter part of August, 1873, Beau broke down, and was Providence Hospital, and afterward to the almshouse, where he died on the 1st of September, a calm, delightful Sun day. He was buried in Potter's Field, but his body was taken up and placed in a lot in Congressional cemetery by a number of friends. i°d to To is for in Foolhardy Voyager* Drl Boston, June 22.—The foolhardy navigators, Captain Andrews and Lawler, who intended to tempt fate by crossing the Atlantic in 15 foot cockle shells, the Serpent and the Mermaid, made a start last night after announcing that they would not do so.
