A long fragmented OCR passage mixes Burns poetry and Mary Campbell lore with political commentary and oblique U S Congress notes. It references Burns and Highland Mary, then shifts to house proceedings and Democratic party jottings, with scattered anecdotes and archaic street-talk.
A Supreme Court decision clarifies that notaries public and ex officio justices of the peace cannot sit as separate courts in a district when a elected justice already holds a monthly session. The ruling warns it may nullify prior judgments by notaries and ex officio justices unless the court modifies its stance. The piece then shifts to a reflective and admonitory meditation on life balance and pacing, attributed to D. T. Taylor.
A Boston Journal correspondent describes a two hour arena on Java where a buffalo with tusks and a tiger clash. The buffalo repeatedly impales the tiger, the tiger strikes neck wounds, and both exchange fierce attacks until the exhausted tiger is driven off and the buffalo is declared victor.
A long fragmentary piece recounts Betsy the elephant in Indiana needing whiskey to avoid freezing, plus various whimsical vignettes on drinking in New York, a gladiatorial arena tale, duck hunting misadventures, and social quirks. The tone mimics a mid‑late 19th century newspaper miscellany with unrelated anecdotes and digressions.
The article argues against a Cornell class in journalism, stating that journalism demands broad knowledge and practical, hard-won experience. It contends that reporters must grasp current events, read the public mood, and endure daily deadline stress, which no theory alone can teach.
