      Less than forty years ago, when the first of May came on a rainy Friday, as it did this year, a well-known sport of the city was compelled to move under exceptionally distressin\u2019 circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In those days a cozy road house known all over New York as \u201cThompson’s\u201d or Madison Cottage, stood just where the Fifth Avenue Hotel now stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It was in the midst of a five acre lot which was used occasionally for cattle shows. Its host, \u201cCorporal\u201d Thompson, was a jolly dog, had a snug barroom, and mixed a popular drink he called \u201cne plus ultra.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A good many very nice people at that time lived on Elizabeth street, leading traders, like Bennett, the iron man, and Sherwood, the flag manufacturer. Among others Matthew D. Green, afterwards the sport, but who at this time was a hatter, I believe, lived in a nice little house in Elizabeth street with his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      At last Matt’s landlord raised his rent. Matt protested, but the landlord was firm and told Matt that if he didn’t agree to pay the increased rent by the Wednesday before Friday, the first of May, he must move out in favor of somebody else who would pay it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Matt told his wife not to worry, that he would fix it all right with the landlord, and then dismissed the matter altogether from his mind. And on the last Wednesday in April he started off to spend the evenin\u2019 at Thompson’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Among its chief attractions was Nick Langdon, afterwards alderman, who was then the champion clam opener of New York, and officiated in that capacity to the delight of all the crowd at \u201cThompson’s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Well, Matt Green spent that evenin\u2019 at Thompson’s\u2013yes, and he spent the whole night there, and the whole of the next day (Thursday), and the night of Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      He met all sorts of people there\u2013hobnobbed with \u201cthe Red House set,\u201d as it was called, comprisin\u2019 Charley Brown, Ike Woodruff, Clark Vandewater and Sam Hoagland\u2013drank with the boys he had been in the habit of meetin\u2019 at the old Hazard House, Cato’s, Bradshaw’s and on Third avenue, which was then the great trottin\u2019 grounds for New York horseflesh, had a drink with Sam Segue, who talked horse till he was hoarse, and of course, talked and drank with the regular patrons of Thompson’s as they came along; such men as Niblo, Saul Kip, Nat Blunt, Laverty, Winans and the Costars. He had plenty of company off and on. But his principal occupation during his protracted stay at Thompson’s was playin\u2019 cards, sometimes winnin\u2019, sometimes losin\u2019, but always havin\u2019 fun, perfectly oblivious of such unpleasant facts as landlords or movin\u2019 day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      At last he woke up to the consciousness that Friday, the first day of May, had come, and come in a style worthy of the first day of March, sleetin\u2019, hailin\u2019, blowin\u2019, cold and dismal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And then he remembered all about what the landlord had told him and how he had promised his wife to see the landlord, and how he hadn’t seen the landlord, and how there would be the deuce to pay at home\u2013that is, if indeed he now had a home, for rememberin\u2019 what the landlord had said, he wasn’t even certain of that. In fact, he woke up to the full consciousness of bein\u2019 in the most unpleasant fix, in the most unpleasant weather possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      He mentally anathematized Thompson’s for bein\u2019 so comfortable, Nick Langdon for being so popular, and cards for being so seductive. Then he started off for his wife, without an umbrella\u2013all the umbrellas were in use by their owners that day, you bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      He reached his house in Elizabeth street, but he hardly knew the place, for on the front stoop and all around it where the heaped piles of furniture, while a big truck full of more furniture was waitin\u2019 to be unloaded at the door. It wasn’t his wife movin\u2019, for it wasn’t his furniture; he didn’t recognize a piece of it, and there was a strange man bossin\u2019 the job, while his wife was nowhere to be seen. And then the old landlord was around, waitin\u2019 under a big umbrella\u2013waitin\u2019 for what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Matt soon found out. The landlord, not havin\u2019 heard definitely from Matt on the Wednesday as agreed upon, had got another tenant for the house, who had brought his things along, and who was only waitin\u2019 till the legal hour of twelve, May 1, to move into Matt Green’s former house and to move Matt Green’s furniture out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Matt fumed and swore, but had to submit; it was the law. And then feelin\u2019 mighty blue as well as damp, Matt rushed into the house and found his wife on the verge of suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Matt had what the French call \u201ca bad quarter of an hour\u201d with his wife, gettin\u2019 tongue-lashed as he deserved; but what in the deuce were they to do, and where in the deuce where were they to go to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Matt was really wild with rage at himself. He tore his hair, stamped with vexation, then finally he got desperate, and got an idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      He kissed his wife, told her to stop cryin\u2019 and to get the things ready right off for movin\u2019. Then with an air of mystery contendin\u2019 with misery on his expressive countenance, he rushed off in the rain, but with an umbrella, and this time to the old sub Post-office near Chatham Square, where Reilly, the big truck-man, used to keep his trucks. The weather was so bad that he found a truck-man disengaged, and he engaged him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cWhere do you want me to move the things from?\u201d asked the truck-man. Matt gave him his address. \u201cAnd where do you want me to move the things to?\u201d That Matt couldn’t tell him, for the simple reason that Matt didn’t know himself. So he assumed his air of mystery and answered: \u201cNo matter where to. I am paying you by the hour, ain\u2019t I, and not by the job, and you will move the things just where I tell you.\u201d \u201cAll right, boss,\u201d replied the truck-man. \u201cSo you pay me my $3 an hour, it’s all one to me where I takes your things.\u201d But he looked at the mysterious Matt as if he thought he was drunk or craz\u2013and to tell the truth just then he was a little of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cCome along, then,\u201d says Matt, and the truck-man and Matt went to the house in Elizabeth street, where Mrs. Matt had already got things in shape for movin\u2019, as well as she could in such a hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cOh, I am so glad you have got a place, dear,\u201d said poor Mrs. Matt, when she found her hubby helping the truck-man to move her things. \u201cBut how quick you must have been about gettin\u2019 it. Where is the new place, dear?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The most natural question in the world for a wife to ask, but just the question that the husband couldn’t then answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cSo he replied vaguely, and looked more mystery, and tellin\u2019 his wife to wait till he came back for her, which he said confidently (though he didn’t feel confident a bit) would be in a little while, he started out, stalkin\u2019 away under his umbrella, tellin\u2019 the truck-man to follow him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Up and down Elizabeth street, Market street and the joining streets, tramped poor Matt Green, lookin\u2019 for a home in all this rain, resolved to move his household goods into the very first house, or part of a house, that was vacant and to let. That was his idea, that was his only hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But you never find anythin\u2019 just when you want it, and to save his soul, and eyes, and legs, Matt Green couldn’t see any vacant houses, or parts of houses, or signs of any, just then, and for the first time in his life, began to feel desperate and wicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      He knew his wife thought that he was drunk. He suspected that his truck-man (following his mysteriously erratic movements and cursin\u2019 him as he followed him) thought he was crazy. He began to fear he was goin\u2019 mad himself, for he was gettin\u2019 mad, very mad. He felt like doin\u2019 somethin\u2019 wild, felt like makin\u2019 a forcible entry into some house and takin\u2019 possession of it nolens volens<\/em>. He felt like becomin\u2019 a sort of burglar by day, a new sort of burglar who broke into somebody else’s house, not to secretly take things out of it, but to violently bring things into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And just then a new constable in that section of the city, who didn’t know Matt, and had been watchin\u2019 his queer behavior for a while came up to him and was goin\u2019 to arrest him on the ground that he had stolen this furniture and it was tryin\u2019 to get away with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This was the last drop in the poor Matt’s cup of woe\u2013the last straw that broke the camel\u2019s back\u2013his head achin\u2019 from Thompson’s \u201cne plus ultra\u201d and Nick Langdon’s clams, his wife thinkin\u2019 him drunk, his truck-man thinkin\u2019 him crazy, wet through, his furniture getting ruined by the rain, disgusted with the world, out in the storm, with nowhere to go, and now about to be ignominiously arrested for stealin\u2019 his own furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It was more than mortal spirit or \u201csport\u201d could bear. But what Matt Green would have done will never be known, for he didn’t have to do anythin\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For a man passed by in the rain, looked at Matt a moment, stopped, grasped Matt\u2019s hand, called him by name and asked him in a loud, cheery voice what in (some place below the earth) he was doin\u2019 there, and then and thus. And Matt Green made a clean breast of it and explained the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The man laughed heartily at Matt a minute\u2013we all laugh heartily at even a friend’s scrape\u2013but then he came to the rescue of this \u201cspecimen of utter for loan forlorn,\u201d as Reilly’s truck-man afterwards described Matt Green. He explained matters to the constable\u2019s satisfaction, and then to Matt’s infinite satisfaction told him that old Joe Hoxie had just such a floor as he wanted, right around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By night Mr. and Mrs. Matt Green were comfortably installed in the lower part of Mr. Joe Hoxie’s house. But Matt never stayed overnight any more at Corporal Thompson’s, and he never forgot the kindness shown him in that hour of movin\u2019 misery by William M. Tweed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Editor’s Notes: Like any political machine, New York’s Tammany Hall blended corruption and strong-arm tactics with benevolence and favors. William M. “Boss” Tweed<\/a> had a talent for this combination, and was a great friend to his supporters–which included both Matthew Green and Corporal Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironically, Mathew Davis Greene (abt. 1812-1870) was known only for the above anecdote–which put Boss Tweed in a good light–and for the story of a visit made to Greene’s deathbed by a frequent political opponent of Boss Tweed, Thurlow Weed<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thompson’s Madison House was a New York landmark. Blogger Tom Miller has an excellent post on the history of the Madison House<\/a>, built on a farm once owned by former slaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, the recipe for the “ne plus ultra” remains a mystery.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
