As boy, he stopped and had an impeachment
in his speech, and was slow in learning: as a
young man, be WAS ct first unfortunate and slow
to succeed. Graduating from Dartmouth at 18,
he proceeded to Washington and lived there for
more than year without any income running
in debt for his very subsistence. His uncle, then
q Sena' or OF tho United States, refused to OBJ
tain hia place in the Treasury; and it is one
OF the contrasts of history, that the Treasury
clerk who lived in the aame louEo with young
Chase and whose good fortune naturally excited
in him dosire for similar position, VAS
whito-haired Treasury c3erk still, when Chase
came back as Secretary to hold up the hands OF
war. As lawyer, his prospects were the re-
verso of hattering. He was only admitted to the
Bar on bis explaining that he intended to go to
Cincinnati to practice, and thero, in his first ar
eumcnt broke down completely. For some time,
the spell Of ill-success hung over him. It used
to be OF his amusing stories that his only foe
for long time was silver half-dollar which his
cliontreurned after short interval to borrow and
never repaid. 0rerstudy, oyeruerll, anxiety,
and friendlessness broke down his health. As
he tossed on fevcred bed, could he, the young
btlehess lawyer, hare Soon in the future the lit
