This metropolitan pleasure has not been

PEDLERS FOLLOWED kOSSUTH.
They We're the First Of Their TT ado Seen
IN Some Western Cities.

Two men were walking in Fulton street
at the hour when the pushcart merchants
were lined up with their wares. One OF
them remarked that the pedlers were not
making much noise.
by the way he added, none Of the
pedlers of New York, 80 far as 1 know,
makes as much Of racket as the first street
pedlers I ever heard. That was in St.
Louis fifty years or more ago.
1T was on the occasion Of the visit to that
city of Louis Kossuth. I was youngster
and my father had taken me to the city
to show me the Hungarian patriot. The
town, Of course, was full Of people.

their cry that impressd me. Everywhere
we went we heard the same cry, Matches,
almanacs and tack 'ammers.'
Il remember that the last article caused
me TO inquire what they meant, and / was
told that these peders were English, and
tack hammers. But what funny mixture!
After I had grown up / recalled the
incident and made an inquiry about it.
/ learned that those pedlers came over
from England about the same time as
kossuth and that they followed him, where
they were able to do 30, and that they were
the first street pedlers in this country.
"That, perhaps, is not quite correct, but
they were the first street pedleTs in the
West, And in those days II was customary
to sell almanacs. Think Of that.
