Fragments and jests from a long-ago column

A collage of humorous and critical asides mentions prize fighters celebrities and public figures. It notes De Young as an Ohio man Talmage’s arrival, Hanlan and Boston anxieties, Count Joannes and Queen Isabella, Casanave and his brother, and social gossip about Mrs Langtry. It tongue-lashes Boston literacy and lampoons readers with sly references to manners and anecdotes.
