A reflective piece on death touching every social stratum from infants to the elderly, rich and poor, educated and infidel, noting it comes when life’s links seem strongest and when viewed as a common fate. It includes Washington anecdotes, Goethe’s praise of a blush, and reflections on love and youth.
Guests at the St Nicholas Hotel include Gen Sam Houston amid a string of light anecdotes. A bore provokes Houston with a secret of success while Yankee humor anchors the chatter. Other tales feature a Dearborn County lawyer, a Southron knife wager, a chestnut reprimand, and Buffalo fashion plans for a grand calash accessory.
A Wilmington doctor fends off a midnight assault as a would be attacker demands money. A Texas runaway marriage tale unfolds with a clergyman marrying the couple and their pursuers. The piece also cites Pennsylvania election law and a gallery of French literary deaths linked to coffee and licentiousness.
A dramatic colonial scene unfolds as Col Archibald Yell sits as judge in Arkansas.
