A collage of society anecdotes and political pranks. It recounts a young man snared by a braid, a botched engagement, and a humorously grim tale of repeated voting in New York. It also visits moral cautions about ingratitude, a Morse telegraph joke, a ship of quirks, and several bathers of small town life.
A firsthand reminiscence recalls a searing march to Gen Morgan’s camp. While resting by a grassy stream, soldiers washed shirts and enjoyed a light respite before a sudden British ambush. They repelled the attack with a bayonet charge, shouting shirts as a rallying cry and driving the Redcoats from the field.

An invited Mormon elder to serve as chaplain for the California legislature provoked a sharp Protestant rebuke. The Rev.
