He tried ali kinds of occupations ‘here, but somenow or other he invariably collided with the Pollee Department, and often to the detriment of the members of the Department, ‘The he became a “*goap-peddler,” with a route extending from Mexico on the south to the furthest contines of Canada on the north.
