FERDINAND WARD.

The mention of Ferdinand Wards
name by this NalI-street man is a
good peg Oh which to hang a story of
that worthy, youched for by an au-
thority well known on the Produce
Exchange. Ward was a dollar a-e!ay
employe among the grain and pork
dealers not SO many years ago. No
body suspected him Of shrewdness;
latent knavery showed no outward
signs Of development. One day it fell
to his lot, it is said, to carry a message
from the Exchange floor to some ma
bob's office in the neighborhood. BY
hook II crook he became possessed Of
a secret regarding a deal that was be-
ing pushed by q strongsyndicate. He
had few dollars, saved by an econ
omy which must have sadly pinched
him. Into the market went his trifIe,
and he reaped profits which, II not
startling, were fair. The next day he
had an excuse to visit the same office
again. Within the innerDost pre-
cincts went on a discussion of pro
posed operations by a company of the
heaviest men on the Exchange. Young
lir. Ward a. very tired. Sitting
down for a moment in an armchair,
he was fast asleep in a trice. The
clerks e working away oyer their
desks at the end Of the room listened
to his aggressive snoring, watched bis
manly bosom rise and fall with clock
work regularity, and they made mer-
~. They saw in him a duplicate Of
Mr. Dickens fat boy of Piekwickian
memory, and their jokes lacked moth
ing Of soulfulness. Nothing could
have surprised them more than to
have known that all their witticisms
were falling on his listening ears
that is, nothing could have surprised
them 0 save this other fact that
Mr. Lazybones was also Leanly alive
to every syllable being spoken on the
other side OF that inner Office door.
Close by the crack was his chair.
When the rich men ended their con
ference Ward had just awakened, rub
bed his eyes theoretically, yaWned
u~proarously, and hurried away, APP
parently IN deep disgust at his self
forgetfalness. When the market open
ed the next day The pool had a part
nef; he was an extensive operator, but
he risked all he had. Did he make
anything2 Two or three thousand
dollars before the week was over. No.
it wasn't all on his own capital. He
knew a good thing when he saw ii,
and, with the easy confidence Of a
crack shot sure Of his game, he wait
ed till an opportune moment came,
and then walked calmly into the pres
ence OF the magnates and, with the
cooiandacity which afterWard brought
lin victims furtheru up town, aequaint-
Cd the gentlemen with the entertain

ing fact that he was possessed of their
secret and thought he knew some peo-
pie who might want to buy it. But
be would be generous, he explained;
Some Produce Exchange check books
can testify to this.

duce certificates Of birth and testi-
monials as to character and service.
The pay at first joining IS 24s. q week,
and it rises to 27s. sd, Dos. lod., 34s.
3D., Ais, and ITS. Sd. The uniform
is supplied yearly, and there is now
a liberal arrangement for %gratuities
and pensions, with which the men APP
pear to be in general satisfied. The
candidate must be a seaman, Ito that
rule there has been no exception for
so years. and he IS preferred when
coming from the merchant service
rather than from the navy, The rea-
son for p~referring the sailor to the
landsman is plain; his familiarity
with climbing, with the handling of
ropes, with doing work at a height,
ell give him a primary training Of the
highest Importance. The preference
extended to the merchant service
arises from the fact that nowadays
two-thirds of the navy mel are merely
engineers and fighters, men accustom-
ed to work on deck rather than aloft;
and though no doubt there are among
them still many good climbers, they
are not IN the same proportion as in
the merchant service, where the great
er part Of the mems work lies in the
rigging. On presenting himself at
headquarters the candidate has to IN
dergo a sever physical test, in which
if he fails, he is not further examined.
A fire escape is laid horizontally on
the ground, and by an arrangementof
ropes and puileys has to be raised to
a vertical position. It is calculated
that for the first twelve pulls this test
represents q strain Of 800 pounds, af-
ter which there is a gradual diminu-
ton Of the weight, as the worst Of it
is over and the escape begins to rise.
The men are drilled daily, except Sat
urday and Sunday, and before pass
ing into the brigade wait for a c%ertifi-
cate from the chief drill instructor.
The drill is Of Al exceedingly diversi-
fed and ingenious character. They
jump from windows into sheets; they
pick each other up and carry each
other down ladders; they are slung
out Of window by ropes, representing
the chair knot in use in courts or al
leys where the escape cannot pene-
trate; they rescue each other when in
q state Of insensibility; and some of
them, attired in what is known as a
female dress are sent head first
down the netting Of the escape, in
which uncomfortable manner it APP
pears ladies in peril are brought out
of danger. The coachmen in No. sc
do not belong to the brigade, in the
sense that they have nothing to do
With extiaguishing fires; they have
only to look after their horses, which,
at the pace they travel mile in
about four minutes-nust take them
all their time. They are placed I'M
der the charge Of The head coachman
who, before engaging, tries their ca
pabilities in crowded parts of the city
and makes a report. He is response
bic for the horses, Of which there are
13i jobbed by the board, for the sake
of economy, and not bought.

JAPANESE NUPTIALs.

The curiosity and novelty of the rites
OF a Japanese wedding and the popular
ity of the entertainments of the Congre-
gatlonal church brought out an audi
ence OF from four TO five hundred. The
rink was arranged with tables IN the
rear for refreshments, while the audi
ence seats were in front. The stage
was very artisticalIY ornamented for he
occasion In japanese decorations. In
all there must have been over hundred
pieces, consisting of parasols. fans, Ian
terms The exercises of the evening be-
gan with a banjo solo by Miss Ida
Moore.
The prelude to the wedding rites was
given by Prof. Wilkinson in a few we'll
chosen words, IN which he said that al.
though the ceremonies might seem long
and peculiar and were without an audi
BILE word, yet the rites were solemn and
quite as binding as the marriage rites of
this country.
During the ceremonies the orchestral
music inspired the Japanese apparent"
who entered on the stage two by twos
The father and mother of the bride and
the father and mother OF the bridegroom
preceded all others to the stage and
took positions on either side of the seats
arranged for the to-be-wedded couple.
The contracting parties then came in
aad after a sufflciency OF bowling took
their positions. The principal features
OF the ceremonies were the bowling, the
tea drinking and the peculiar costumes.
There seems to be a great deal of stereo-
typed system in the manners of the
japanese. The bowling was always made
to couples the signal for the same always
being given by outreachIng the arms
horizontal with the floor and then lifting
them upward. AS the hands were low
cred the parties came to the floor on the
knees and bowed their beads. In drink
ing tea the men AWAY s drink first,
and the allowance seemed to be
three cups. The union was COM
plete when bride and bridegroom had
simultaneously drank from the same
cup. The costumes, we are informed,
were of the latest Japanese fashion. The
bride was Miss Gertie CLOSER and the
groom Mr.. Will Irwin. Mr.. w. H. In
german and Miss Foster acted as brides
parents while Charley Russell and Miss
FIshback served as father and mother to
the groom. Miss Slocum was the 60
between, or, in our language, the mis-
tress of ceremonies. ThereI were no
grooms-man and the following ladies
acted as bridesmaid: Miss CLOSER, the
Misses Blair, Miss Cleaver, Nellie Ed
wards, Misses Gilmore and Truitt.
The entire performance listed
about half an hour and was very enter
tanning. At the close of the Ger
emonies the entire audience was
invited to partake of refreshments, con-
sisnng of ice cream, Strawberries, fruits,
cake and lemonade. Over fifteen gal
Ions of ice cream were used and the re-
ceipts for the evening were $137. OF
this amount $72 dollars were taken at
the door and the remainder was for re-
treshments. The entire entertainment
was very pleasant and in every respect
success. The ladies of the Congrega-
tionai church have our congratulations.
