Convention in St Louis Promises Broad Attendance and West East Rift

The Boston Post reports a likely large and representative convention in St Louis with West and Southwest Congressmen attending. Brownlow declines citing prior secession era conventions, while leaders dismiss sectional jealousy and urge unity to advance western transport needs, river improvements, and removal of navigational impediments. The piece discusses Cuban emancipation ideas tied to freeing Cuban slaves as a potential solution, noting Belgian-Spanish interests and a possible $75,006,000 purchase proposal to Gen Prim, aiming to end Spain’s rule and slavery in Cuba.

Selfridge Canal Route Across Isthmus of Darien

The expedition led by Capt. Selfridge maps a twenty eight mile canal with a three mile tunnel through Darien linking the Atlantic and Pacific. A practical, cheaper route than Lesseps proposals, it promises vast commerce growth, evolving tropical wealth along the Atrato basin and new tourist and transport potential across the American tropics.

It notes expanding Cuba United States trade despite Madrid obstacles, questions loyalty of the Peninsula party, and frames sale of Cuba and abolition of slavery as the Cortes’ closely tied moves amid ongoing struggle for possession.

A Critique of Carl Benson and American Cookery

The piece rails at Carl Benson for glorifying French cuisine and challenging American traditions, arguing that aesthetics belong more to Paris than to New England kitchens. It rebuts his turkey preparations and laments public indulgence in pleasure over duty, linking food debates to broader political neglect and national identity.

Reform zeal clashes with Oxford and Cambridge fellowships

Mr Auberon Herbert pushes a radical plan to end university fellowships and replace them with professorial certificates. The idea draws strong opposition from Beresford Hope and other university men, and the bill fails in its first stage. Critics warn such reforms would alarm England’s liberally educated classes.

Vast Transatlantic Echoes From A Busy Era

A collage of late 19th century tidbits spans theater news, politics, crime and culture.
