A foolish king offers heir and daughter for a story that lasts forever. A patient storyteller spins a tale of locusts that gnaw grain inside a granary. The king’s demand to hear the conclusion is delayed by the clever logic of the narrator.
A long curious passage describes a rapid-fire tongue twister and a parade of names and items, followed by obituaries and notes. It covers Ben Montgomery a notable former slave and planter, Murphy the temperance evangelist, and a pastor’s tale about hush money for missions, ending with a Bible quote from John Angel James.
The London freeman casket for Gen Grant features a Washington Capitol panel and London city emblems with US symbols, mounted on a velvet plinth. Sheridan cites vitality as essential to achievement while Grant gains continued honors in England with banquets and dinners planned in Liverpool and at the US Service Club. Frederick Douglass recalls his past master with humor and dignity. A cucumber season quip ends the column.
