Sherman Defends Confederate-Linked Officials in Virginia Race

The article critiques John Sherman amid talk of German opera plans and cool weather favorable to return to town. It cites Sherman's support for Confederate veterans and officials appointed by Republican presidents, arguing his hostility fades when allies back the party. It also notes his backing of Virginia governor candidate John S. Wise, linking Wise to John Brown.

Puritan Bets and Urban Gossip Across Clippings

A collage of dated quips and comic items reports on bets in Puritan circles, rivalries in Boston and Philadelphia social scenes, jokes about Wilde, revivals in Tampa, and odd anecdotes from Chicago, Atlanta, and Elmira. The piece blends humor, local lore, crime lines, and small-town reflections.

Coffin Factories and Burial Trade Rise in United States

The United States hosts about 40 coffin factories mainly west of the Alleghenies with major operations in Cincinnati and St. Louis. The National Burial Association coordinates pricing. Coffins vary by finish rather than wood durability, with costs from $2 or $3 to high prices, and export demand grows for walnut and poplar cases.
