Bold Grant figures in partisan railings and tales from camp
A long column of 19th century snippets recounts reaction to General Grant as a dangerous figure, humorous anecdotes about a tunnel wardrobe change gone wrong, moralizing quips, and a serialized tale of social mixing, politics, and a sly art world encounter with M. Vernet and a banker Rothschild.

Proofreading slips and printer’s errors amuse readers
A column on proof-reading mishaps and typographical errors in notices from marriages to editorials. Examples include a misread marriage notice turning A Conkey into A Donkey and “beans” replacing “beaux.” The piece also recalls political masthead gaffes and a humorous closing admonition to stop reading.
