Silence and Speech in Ancient and Modern Thought
A mosaic of aphorisms and excerpts touching on speech, silence, and social behavior. It threads quotations about the virtue or folly of talking, reflections on conversation, and anecdotes about speakers, with notes on historical figures, cultural practices, and a census glimpse from France in 1876. The piece shifts among philosophy, society, and a few sharply vivid vignettes from varied contexts.
California and National Notes in a Fragmented Telegraph
A jagged collection of 19th century items covers varied topics from a Bartlett pear size and weight to political forecasts by Gov. Tawrx of California. It notes shifts in Mexican governance, paper on government advertising pricing, and profiles of individuals including Edgar Casz and Lu c ien Young. The piece touches on Supreme Court affirmation of the Cochrane patent, California coffee culture, irrigation projects for Kansas and Nebraska deserts, and reports on reporters stealing the Governor’s message. It ends with reflections on agriculture and a humorous Senate chair incident involving Senator Davis.
