His Term About Out.
Ferdinand Ward will be released from Sing Sing on April 30. Perhaps Wall stieet’s deferred .boom is. waiting for that date'.—New York Tfelegram. Ferdinand Ward comes out of the penitentiary next month. The “Grant boys” will not celebrate the event with a banquet.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. What the ex-Napoleon of finance will set about doing for a living when he is free is a question of interest. During his confinement he has .become an expert and artistic Job printer, but he will hardly devote himself to that calling.— Savannah News. Ferdinand Ward, the original young Napoleon of finauce, will leave Sing Sing prison on the 30th of April, and has ordered an elaborate wardrobe prior to his reappearance. But no matter how much of a “swell” he may be as to clothes, he can never be rehabilitated in public esteem. —Troy Times. Many people have imagined that on his restoration to liberty he would be in possession of vast amounts of money which have been saved from the wreckage and the creditors, and have been put away to make Mr. Ward comfortable, but this the deposed Napoleon denies, and claims that he will leave his prison a poor if not an honest man, and will have to dig around to make a living in that world of which he was once a gilt-edged ornament.—Philadelphia Tunes.
