Org. 3lct:-Dr. ST,-Yrs, into which you
ak me to send you sum leadin incidents in
my life so you can write my Bogfry for the
papers, cum dOoly to hand. | have no
doubt that an article onto my life, gram
mattycally jerked and properly punctooated,
would be an addition to the chois literatoor
Of the day.
To the yooth of Ameriky it would be
valuable as shoin how how high pinnykle
of lame man can reach who comnlenst his
career with small canvas tent and pea
greef OK, which he rubbed it off while
scratchin hisself agin the center pole, causin
in Railway, n. j., discriminating mob to
gay humbugs would not go down in them
village. The OK resoon'd agricultooral
TPlrsoots shortly afterwards.
| next tried my hand at given Blind man
concerts appearing as the poor Bllnd-man
myself. But the infamous cusS who hired
olead me around towns in the day time to
excite sympathy, drank freely Of spurious
lcker unbekn0wnt to ME one day, q while
under them influence he led me into the
canal. had to either tear the green ban
dage from my eyes or be drowned. tho't
I'd restore my eyesight.
In wlitin about these things, Mr.. Editor,
kinder smooth EN- over. Speak of EN- as
eccentrissitiCs OF gen us.
My next venture would have been a sue
cess if haddt tried to co to much. | got
up series of wax Gggers, and among 9th
ers one Of Socrates. tho't wax fgger Of
old Sock would lie popular with edoycated
peOr'e, but unfortunately | put DIOwn
linen duster and United States regulation
cap on him, which people with classycal ee'
dycations said it was farce. This enter
prise unforuinit in other respccks. At
certain time | advertised a wax ffgger of
Hon. Amos Perkins, who was a Railroad
President, and great person in them parts.
But it appeared | had shown the same fig
ger for Pirut ramed Gibbs in that town
the preEfs season, which created intense
toomult, and the audience remarked ''shame
unto me, and other statements OF the
same similarness. | tried to mollify 'em.-
| told them that any family posgessin ch'l
drcn might hav my she tiger to pay wi !
half day, Il wouldn't tax EN- cent,
but alars! it was Of no avalc. was forced
to leave, and | infer from an article in the
AdytrtjScr Of that town that the Editer
says:
"Altho' time has silvcled tie head Of
this man with its frosts, he still brazcnly
wallows in intany. Still are his snakes
stuffed, ard his wax work unreliable. We
glad that he has calculated never to revisit
our town, altho', incredablc as it may ap
pear, the fellow really did contemplate SO
doing last summer, when, still true to the
craven hs''hcts "i ms BACK hraf', nc wrose
know what they would charge for 400 small
bills, to be done on yellow lapeI! We shall
reGHf TO TINS matter again -.
