A Brooklyn mendicant, once seen on Chatham Street New York, now roams the Eastern district with a new blind veteran ruse. He hawks plaster and paper envelopes on a ferry and streets, trades a rickety barter for a staff and pasteboard, and performs a plaintive pitch to passersby as he moves from Brooklyn to Grand and Lewis streets. The report follows his curious decline into sympathy and notes other oddities and public musings from the era.
