An Ingenious Mendicant's Tricks.


There is seemingly blind mendicant who
for the past year or so has gained a living In
the Eastern district of Brooklyn. He is a
strapping big fellow physically, OF dark COM
ple1ion, and capable of doing any kind OF
manual labor. The writer met him few
evenings ago and recognized him as man
whom he had frequently bestowed small
change upon when he stood on Chatham
street, New York city, not three years ago.
Up to the time the reporter met him last he
did not have any doubts Of the mans aff1ic-
ton, but an incident occurred on last Mon
day night which viii make the reporter man
wide awake.
On the 7:20 boat from Brooklyn the re-
porter on looking up suddenly observed the
man, but instead of working the blind dodge
he had new wrinkle--that OF one-armed
veteran In small satchel suspened around
his neck he had number of silver and gold
paper envelopes, in which were two or three
kinds of court plaster, the virtues OF which
he proclaimed in loud tone of voice. He was
not very successful in disposing of bis wares,
and when tie boat reached the slip the re-
porter followed the man as he got off. He
walked up East street to Broome, and behind
q pile of lumber handed his sachel to dissi-
pated looking mortal, receiving in return q
staff and square piece of pasteboard. When
he had placed the pasteboard around his neck
he walked slowly UP R-ea'ne street to Tomp-
kins, and then turned into Grand street. On
the corner of Grand and Lewis streets he
halted, took bundle of lead pencils in his
hands, and cried out in a piteoas tone of voice:
"Please help the blind
Tho reporter watched him few moments,
and then walked over to him and said:
"You are the greatest rogue l ever saw. I
noticed you on the ferry boat, when you
could see as well as can. and now you sud-
denly become bhnu. What do you mean by
it,
The man opened his eyes, turned ard walked
rapidly up Grand street to the Bowery.-New

-" Confessedly the mystery of godli
