Learned to Work.

One wise regulation among the Jews insists
on every boy learning a trade. 1t is not neces.
sary that every boy who learns a trade should
follow it all his life, but it is best to know
thoroughly stme kind of work. 1t is only by
this one can prove his fidelity and excellence.
Governor Palmer of Illinois was a common
blacksmith once, and began his political career
as a constable in Macoupin county. A circuit
judge in tie central part of Illinois was once
a tailor. Thomas Hoyne, a rich and eminent
lawyer of Illinois, was once a bookhinder.
Era>tu, Corning of New York was too lame to
do hard labor, and comm need as a shop-boy
in Albany, When he applied for employm mt
first he was as&.d: "Why, my boy, what can
you do?" "Cau d , what L am bid" was the
answer that secured him a place. Senator
Wilson of Massachu' etts was a shoemaker.
L urlow Weed was a canal-boat driver. Ex-
Governor Stone of iowa was a cab net maker,
VIII oh trade the late Stephen a. Douglas also
worked at i'll bis youth. Large numbers of men
of prominence now living have risen from
humble life BY dint of industry, wiz ut which
talent is n, useless as a gold coin on a barren
island. Work alone makes men bright, and
it does not alone depend on the kind of work
y u have to d. whether yon rise or not. It
depends on how gu do it.

If Unc'e Sam can find any way to make
Warner talk, and talk to the point, it will be
an achievement that none of the correspond
ents, reporters, or newspaper men generally,
have been able to do, as he was the most hope
less man to interview that the newspaper fra
ternity of New York probably ever tackled,
and they finally gave him over to hardness of
heart and enjoyment of his gains in peace. If
he should come up for trail before a civil
court there are a few reporters that would like
to be on the jury in his special case, and there
are a few of them that would doubtless / Ike to
make it warm for him, in one way or another,
for reporters and newspaper men are among
the few unlucky ones that are liable to serve
on juries IN this city. A great many people
are excused by reason of their profession or
business, or because they belong to the state
milit a, because they are druggists, doctors,
ETC., etc. lis a curious fact that in this city,
where there are at least a quarter of a million
grown men, but abont fifteen thousand of
them are liable to jury duty, and out of that
fifteen thousand every sensible man endeavors
to get out of it by hook or crook tie moment
he gets caught. l know of one of three men
who will not allow the cesus taker to get their
names for a directory, and still of others who
will not vote, because the jury lists are made
up of names taken from the directory and the
poll lists. While this aversion to jury duty
exists among t e great majority of the fifteen
thousand, there are some of them who are
overjoyed if they can get on such a jury as
that of the Ward case, where the defendant is
well known, and The case is of almost national
interest. 1t will prove a source of interest to
be handed down from generation to genera
ton, probably, by the present jury in the little
financieI's trial. SPIRTo GENTIL.

he endeavors to look cheerful, but the effort is
a painful failure, and impresses the locker on
at once as a sad, sad farce. The opinion is
gaining ground that after all Ward may have
been the tool of Others who knew enough to
ruin him at any time, and who fleeced him out
of everything, or nearly everything, that the
firm got hold of in the way of profits. 1t was
stated by a personal friend of the Ward fam

fact that Mrs. Ward had turned her d almonds
and jewelry over to her husband to help de-
fray his expenses during aud before the trial,
and that Ward had been raising heaven and
earth to obtain money to carry through his de-
Tense, going SO far as to plead with his wife to
get her mother, Mrs. Green, of Brooklyn, to
mortgage her homestead and let him have the
money. This, however, it is understood, her
lawyers would not allow, in justice to herself.

self, his lawyers certainly would be justified
in entering a plea of insanity. since such a
proceeding would be so utterly without paraI-

ious hours.

In strong contrast to the grave and anxious
demeanor of Ward, his nervous actions, pale
face, smileless lips and thin, sallow features,
shone the round, full face of 'Buck" Grant in
this historic courtroom. No shade of fear or
anxious watching dimmed his naturally salts
fed look, but with the air of a man who feels
that he is safe, however much his erstwhile
partner may suffer, he looked c,lmly over the
courtroom, and smiled occasionally, as his
eyes met favored acquaintance, or scowled
betimes as his glances rested on Ward, as if
memories not the pleasantest were brought to
mind. And poor old Fish, who less than
seventeen short months ago held the proud
position as president of one of the first bank
ing institutions of G than, and through
whose bank passed millions daily, he, too,
came from his prison home to confront his old
time partner of more fortunate days, and
evidently with no love in his heart for Ward,
but with the bitterest hate enhanced by weeks
of Imprisonment, and memories of happier
days now lost to view forever in the cold
prison walls of his cell at Auburn. James D.
Fish is now in his siXty-sixth year, and has
but slight hope of living out his term of ten
years in prison, as is evidenced b his careless
dress, and hopeless yet defiant manner. Sor-
row, disgrace and ruin have wrought a sad
change in this once gay gallant OF the green
room, and debonair bank president who
wooed the sirens of SONG and the ballet. One
would rot think to look at him now, with his
black SLOUGH hat careles sly placed on his head,
his i'll fitting suit of dark blue cling ng lazily
to his form, his rounded shoulders and his
restless yet defiant dark eyes, shaver face, eX-
capt for a little stubble allowed to grow under
his chin, and few white locks remaining upon
an almost bald head. that t is could possibly
be the same bank president. Your CORE
spondent sat thin two feet of him last
Tuesday while his brother testified to the
hundreds of thousands of dollars that passed
through the Marine Bank daily and it Sc emed
to please the old ex-President, disgraced as he
now is, to see the looks of surprise cast at him
by the curious when these amounts were told
off one by one, and dilated upon by the coun-
sci, until they seemed fabulous to the lockers
on. de knew the estate from which he had
fallen, and was proud that he had once occu-
pied it, and determined that he should not be
alone in his fall If his testimony could bring

In this very court room where Ward was
now fighting for h S liberty against the one
charge which could be found to br NC him
there, SO did VIM. Nj. Tweed fight for his lib
erty in this SAM room some years ago, and
strange to say, also fought for it against the
one Indictment that could be found to hold
against him, up to that time, for although it
was known that he had stolen millions, the
difficulty, as with Ward, was to get up a legal
indictment against him that would hold and
convict, so ~cleverly are the laws framed to give
every citizen a fair chauce, or, the lawyers.
1t was in many respects a parallel case, but
Wards is the most dramatic, and one of the
most dramatic features of it was the defiant
answer gwen by Fish, when asked his age,
name, residence, and occupation, by the pro-
secution: "My name is James d. Fish, sixty
six years old, and l am a resident of Auburn
State prison, where l am sentenced to a term
of ten years at hard labor. Ny occupation is
a convict"
There was no evasion, no prevarication, no
sarcastic smile but a sing glance at where
Ward sat covering that told of garnered hate
and nurtured i'll will against him, such a
glance as a condemned felon would cast at the
man LII utIlliN DcllcVcu Hal luTGu ulll 10 TulU,
and blasted his remaining life. Thus the three
famous original partners sat in court, Ulysses
s. Grant, Jr., James D. Fish, the convict, and
Ferdinand Ward, the uncontrolled defendant,
and it is safe to say that all three cared little
what became of the others, save that two of
them were determined that the prison walls
should ~encircle tie little man on trial. and he
harbored an earnest wish that the only one
not arrested might also fall into the wearisome
ent~anglements of the law. Evidently it was a
firm badly divided against itself in adversely,
however closely the bonds Of friendship might
have bound it together in days of yore.
W. S. Warnar, too, is in the grip of the law
at last, and Uncle Sans United States court
has caught this sharp broker in its drag net.
Just what it can do with him, and whether he
can be reached at all or not, it will probably
take some time to decide, since he is supposed
to have plenty of money to fight with, and will
make it interesting for Uncle Sam to convict
him.

Special Correspondence.
NEW YORK CITY, Oct. %, 'S5.
The principal theme of conversation in
Gotham for some days past has of course been
the bringing of Ward before the powers that
be to answe the charges in the first indict-
ment that could be found against him pos
sess,ng the necessary drawing qualities to
bring him into court. sEven handed ~justice''
finds it so difficult to lay hands on anything
that will reach a man through red tape and
sharp lawyers nowadays, no matter what the
general opinion may be of his guilt, that it
took nearly a year and a half to find an in
dictment of this nature, but it came at last,
and not only drew Ward into court, but like
wise brought out from the recesses Of dark
ness specimens of humanity so STEPPED in ig-
norance, and so b~lissfully unconscious of the
world about them, that it seems impossible
that they can live in the 10Th century, aud in
the metropolis Of the nation. And to think
that this very stupidity, indifference, and
want of opinion is toa great extent held at a
premium on the makeup of juries in this city,
in every case which has been thoroughly and
repeatedly written up in the newspapers days
and months beforehand, is enough to draw
from the bliId eyes of Justice the salt tears of
sorrow. and wiring from the sound judg-
ment of thinking Peep e a swift condemna-
ton.

1t is stated by those who know that Mrs. Ward
had over 100000 worth of jewelry, and one
diamond ring worth $1,000 alone. Also that
she owned the handsomest turquoise ever
brought to this city, and diamonds and pearls
OF all shades and hues known in these stones,
all presented to her by her husband during his
supposed fortunate career, and that they have
been parted with for his benefit now, in his
hour of dire need, for none suppose that he
will be abe to escape the meshes of the law,
even if he should not be convicted on the
present indictment against him, and that this
is but the opening shotin a general fusilade,
which may not take place if he is convicted on
this charge. There are indictments of all
descriptions known to inanciers ready to dash
for him as soon as the opportunity occurs,
and the outlook is enough to br ng into his
countenance the nevous lines and haggard
look which tell of mental suffering and anx-
iOus hours.
