Wandering musings offer a century hence reflection on death, social divisions, and the futility of quarrels as the rich, poor, and powerful share the same fate. The piece contemplates mortality, memory, and the eternal quiet of the grave beyond imminent changes.
A mixed column recalls historical curiosities about Josephine and the Ottoman sultans, then shifts to Washington's youth and a prized book once owned by Grant. It also reports a domestic mystery in Boston, a slice of Andrew Johnson rhetoric, popular fallacies about health, and various brief odds and ends from 19th century life.
A Raleigh tailor, Litchford, recalls Andy Johnson as a restless apprentice bound in 1818 to J. J. Selby.

It also mentions a Raleigh birthhouse and curious relics.
