His tall, handsome, military figure was as familiar almost as the clerk of the market. He was a queer mixture of pride and condescension\u2013aristocracy and democracy. Personally, as a man among men, or a man to women, he was like all other men, and put on no airs or frills. But on his official or military side he was oh he always talked and acted as if he was the one greatest military man livin\u2019&#8211;as he thought he was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"212\" height=\"249\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/scottwinfield.jpg?resize=212%2C249&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-381\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gen. Winfield Scott<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He was very particular about official etiquette and about bein\u2019 called by his titles. He was willin\u2019 enough in his off-duty moments to take liberties with other people, but other people must never on any account, at any moment, take liberties with him. It was a game that could only be played by one\u2013a case that did not have two sides. And he kept up a good deal of style. Whenever he came to the market he would take two men servants along, who would follow him at a respectful distance, and who would do all his marketing for him, the General never condescendin\u2019 to order anything himself. He would chat freely enough with the market people, but only about general matters. When it came down to business, to mere tradin\u2019, then the General wasn&#8217;t there. He left all that to his people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 His favorite place in old Jefferson Market was between old Col. DeVoe\u2019s and Mrs. Mingay\u2019s stands. This Mrs. Mingay was a buxom, jolly, short little widow, and was proud of her title of \u201cThe Queen of the Market.\u201d Col. Devoe was one of the oldest and best known market men in New York, and had quite a literary turn. He was quite a successful author, too, for he only wrote about what he thoroughly understood, the market, and so he wrote what was worth readin\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jeffersonmarket1-1.jpg?resize=556%2C311&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-382\" width=\"556\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jeffersonmarket1-1.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jeffersonmarket1-1.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jeffersonmarket1-1.jpg?resize=768%2C431&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, Col. Devoe and Queen Mingay were great friends as well as close neighbors in the market, and Scott liked \u2018em both, so his valet or attendant would carry a big cane-bottomed chair along with him, and would put it down right between the two stands. Then the General would seat himself on his stool and would have a half hour or so chattin\u2019, first with the Colonel and then with the Queen. The Colonel was a plain, direct sort of chap, would talk to the General without any flummery, just as one man to another. But the Queen, of course, bein\u2019 a woman, didn&#8217;t do any direct talkin\u2019, but would pretend to be, oh, so busy with other customers that she had only time to cast sheep eyes at the old General who, in his own way, enjoyed a little flirtation with a pretty woman. But after awhile, whenever it suited her whim, the Queen would get through her other customers and then turnin\u2019 to the General, with a half blush and a sweet smile, would say with a loud, cheery voice, \u201cNow, General, what can I do for you?\u201d This little bit of actin\u2019 got to be looked upon and expected as a matter of course, and Scott himself got to be regarded as one of the \u201cfree shows\u201d of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There used to be a large fire bell tower of wood in the old Jefferson Market, which was one of the landmarks of the district. This tower got on fire one day and was utterly destroyed, and the great bell, then the largest fire bell in the city, weighing over 9,000 pounds, fell to the ground and was destroyed with the buildin\u2019. The fire tower was afterward rebuilt in much better shape. There were two well-known volunteer fire companies in the vicinity of old Jefferson Market\u2013Guardian Engine Co. No. 29 and Gulick Hose Co. No. 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jeffersonmarket2.jpg?resize=409%2C344&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-383\" width=\"409\" height=\"344\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;But perhaps the most interestin\u2019 reminiscences of old Jefferson Market cluster around an individual who, for many years, kept a stand on the Sixth avenue side, and who was known as \u201cthe blind man of Jefferson Market.\u201d Bright and early every mornin\u2019 but Sunday this blind man was to be seen approachin\u2019 the market rapidly, led by a bright little girl, his daughter. This child, only eight or nine years of age, was as \u201cpretty as a picture,\u201d and as smart as she was pretty, devoted to two things\u2013her father and her school. When not with her father she was always at school; when not at school she was always with her father. Her books and her papa were her were inseparable companions. At the same time there was nothin\u2019 of the usual and unusually unnatural Sunday school scholar (the want-to-die-early and-be-a-first-class-angel) style of a creature about her. On the contrary, she was rather inclined to romp and be roguish, and dearly enjoyed a bit of chaff and a joke with the good market people, who all loved her, and did what they could for her and her father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Right after her frugal sic o\u2019clock breakfast the little girl would start from her humble home to lead her father to his stand. Then she would kiss her papa\u2013kiss him half a dozen times, run back to kiss him two more or three times more, and then run home again before she started off to school. Then, after school, she would trip back to the market, where she would study her lessons, talk to her father, and now and then play with the other children, or do chores round the market till it was time to take her father home for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As for the blind man, between this dependence on his little daughter and his dependence on himself, on his senses of hearin\u2019 and of touch, which were extraordinarily perfect, he got along much better than could have been expected. He opened and closed his little stand himself\u2013was very sensitive on this point, didn&#8217;t like even his daughter to help him do this\u2013and spread out his little stock very tastefully, so as to make a very pretty display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nobody seein\u2019 this stand laid out, or lookin\u2019 at the man standin\u2019 by it, would suppose that the owner was stone blind. And he never talked about his misfortune, or placarded it, or paraded it, or tried to make capital of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Henry McNearney, such was the name of the blind man, had been an assistant clerk of the Navy Department, under James K. Paulding. He came of a good family, had received a fair education, was paid a fair salary, did his work conscientiously, and was in the direct line of promotion when, all of a sudden, he went blind, nobody knew why. He consulted a doctor, who did him good; but slowly. Then, in a hurry to get his sight restored, he went to a quack who promised quick relief. The quack took all his money, kept him waitin\u2019 in agony six months, and then destroyed his eyesight and all hope of ever restorin\u2019 it altogether. He burned the nerve of the eye with caustic and affected the nerves of the brain also\u2013permanently injured the mind of the man he had robbed and ruined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 His superiors in the Navy Department kept him on the pay-roll as long as they could. Then Paulding dismissed him, but with a sum of money from his own and associate officials\u2019 pockets. The poor blinded and disappointed man drifted to new New York, found occupation as a stall-keeper at the market, and was happier as a blind man with a good wife and a precious daughter than many a man who has seen all his days, but has never seen the love of a daughter or a wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[Editor&#8217;s notes: The column above was adapted from a section of Thomas F.
