Nation's wealth to exceed prior bounds by future growth
The article argues that railroads, immigration, agriculture, and industry will keep expanding national wealth. It compares our wealth trajectory with Britain's postwar debt, noting U.S. wealth rising from 1859 to 1869 and debt remaining manageable. Despite war losses, labor demand is high, wages strong, and population grows, implying decline in debt proportion as wealth climbs. A visit by Mrs. Lincoln's sister to the White House is recounted with passes and refusals over a South-side pass for travel.

Lincoln's refusals and cautions on polite speech
A long recount of President Lincoln denying access to a woman with passes, warnings to Congress members, and guidance on cautious, non contentious language. It shifts to anecdotes about visitors in Glasgow misidentifying statues, a new meat preservation method, Missouri's Iron Mountain ore details, a Canadian funeral delay over dental work, and quips about remedies for overdoses.
