A poem from the Stark County Democrat praising early American liberty and George Washington while denouncing Lincoln era foes. It laments taxation and slavery, urges patriotism, and intersperses political doggerel with a series of rhetorical conundrums and quips from the Bootewain’s Whistle.
A collage of old coinages and humor notes about life and conduct. It riffs on temper, pride, forgiveness, dress, and social expectation with sharp lines and satirical wit. The piece shifts to brief anecdotes including a dramatic courtroom flourish by a lawyer, a Stratford idiom about Cornwallis, and a vault skull wager tale, all in period voice.
Ice on windows is kept off by painting the glass with a brush. Boiling odors are reduced by dropping red pepper pods or charcoal into the pot. A weather resistant cement uses water brown sugar and salt mixed like paint. Potatoes are made mealy by parboiling and returning to heat with salt and a cloth cover. Baking potatoes yields mealy skins. avoid quarrels by letting the troublemaker have it all.
A broad sampler of agência items and quotes ranges from women telegraph workers heading to India to a New York court case convicting a postmaster who stole stamps. The piece mixes pithy observations on manners, industry, and society with humorous anecdotes, moral maxims, and stray notes on race, prison, and education. It preserves period tone and streetwise reportage, highlighting notable names, places, and incidents.
