Il knew Ferdinand Ward well in my boy
hood" said a gentlemen who is spending some
time IN the city visiting friends. Ale and l
were boys and schoolmates together In Gene
SEQ, n. Y, where he was born. His father
WINS pastor Of the old Presbyterian church In
Goneseo. He is still living, although old and
retired from the ministry. 1t has been the
thing that has amazed me more than any
thing else to know how Ferdinand Ward made
money have been unable to comprehend
It. At school be never applied himself to
study, but fooled away his time. About the
only thing he did well was to write the other
boys names in books in a Spencerian hal.d, an
accomplishment Of which he was very vain.
1t h n fact that all the time he lived in Gen
tseo he never did one honest days work. He
spent all his time with the ladies, and In
drinking about the two hotels when he
ceased going to school. II the word had been
coined fifteen years ago he would have been
known ns Il dude He was simply an exquisite
with nothing TO be exquisite on. He was ac-
tually very deficient at that time in the ru-
dimcnts Of an ordinary English Common
school education. He studied law for awhile
and was discharged nom the office because
he could not spell well even with the brief be
fore him to follow. His accomplishment was
polished manners. He was n dancer dresser
ard drinker, and very e~xtravagant, and al
ways running up bills for his parents to pay.
lie was bright enough naturally, but never
applied himself to study or work.
ale was about 81 years old when lie left
Geneseo and went TO indianapolis in n bank.
He didn't succeed and shorty afterward came
back home. Then he went TO New York and
entered the New York Stock exchange as a
messenger boy. His first speculation was ii
buying up membership tickets and selling
thom ut "a premium. beginning in this man
ner lie gradually accumulated some money
anG went into holder enterprises. Then he
married into the Green family, and from
that time he was considered a remarkable sue
cess. After he had formed his alliances with
the Grant family he used to flourish around
Gcnesco occasionally in great style, bringing
somo member OF the Grant family up in a
special car. side tracking 1t, and living there,

For the social life at Washington the presi-
dent had one advantage which was altogether
unexpected and seemed difficult of explana-
ton by anything in his earlier career. He
had at his command the most courteous and
agreeable manners. Even before the cleo
ton Of Adams, Daniel Webster had written
TO his brother: "Gen. Jackson's manner are
better than those of any OF tho candidates.
He is grave, mild and reserved. Ny wife is
for him decidedly" And long after, when
the president was to pass in review before
those who were, perhaps, his most implacable
opponents, the ladies of Boston, we have the
testimony of the late Josiah Quincy, in his
Figures from the Past" TINT the personal
bearing Of the obnoxious official was most
unwillingly approved.
Mr.. Quincy was detailed by Governor Lin
coin, on whose military staff he was, to at
tend President jackson everywhere when
visiting Boston in 1888; and this narrator tes-
titles that, with every prejudice against
jackson, he found him essentially IA knightly
persouage-preJudiced narrow, mistaken on
many points, it might be, but vigorously a
gentleman in his high sense OF honor and IN
the natural, straightforward courtesies which
are easily distinguished from the veneer Of
policy" Sitting erect on his horse, n thin,
stiff type of military strength, he carried with
him in the streets n bearing Of such dignity
that staid old Bostonians who had refused
even to look upon him from the windows
would finally be coaxed into taking one peep,
and would then hurTiedly bring forward
their little daughters to wave their handker-
chiefs. He wrought, Mr.. Quincy declares, IA
mysterious charm upon old and young"
showed, although In feeble health, q great
consideration for others, and was in private
q really agreeable companion.
