Entertaining 19th Century Gossip Mix in City Notes
Names and playful notes thread through a bustling column: Blanche Meda as Mrs Delphin, Edwin Booth teased as nagged, Chanfrau in St Louis, Ole Bull in Brooklyn with Wilhelmag applauding, Jennie June’s fashion letters, a $700000 heiress in the Ohio Insane Asylum, and Lightbits on a free ticket and local papers mocking editorials. Detected threads include Rev Henry Morgan, Boston wickedness claims, Frank Murphy cheering Grant, and revival pursuits in Baltimore alongside a lively oyster trade revival.
