Debates and curious notes from a troubled era
A collage of unrelated items: misperceived earthquakes in Vajaza Mexico as Yankee troops, the slow growth of a Confederate colony in Mexico, and a claim of over 2000 Catholic churches in the United States. It cites 191 internal revenue districts, a debt scenario in Town County, Butler's mill project on Dutch Gap Canal, a heated health bill debate in New York, Whipple’s mute teaching claim, and a general uptick in government revenue. The piece ends with a Punch magazine quip about storms and opinions.
