Boston Post in Boston, Massachusetts

Fragments from a 19th century graphic column

A collection of pithy quips and observations. It mentions Miss Mary Anderson’s photo in the Graphic, jokes about rehearsals at Western hotels, a remark on Ptolemy versus the New York Herald, Mr Pierce’s luck in securing mayoral supporters, a note on a spontaneous movement to gauge attendance, a jab at a ninety two coute, the inventor of condensed milk's death, a wish for the inventor of expanded milk to die, and a Lewistown Indiana man dying on the witness stand after an attempt at deceit.
