Hippo in a New Character and Other Punch Items
In No 477, Mr Briggs begins a fishing trip with family, then a boat mishap shows his overreliance on skill. A grotesque hippopotamus statue in a Strand shop earns censure, while Punch debunks a false railway rumor and notes King Leopold’s return visit.

Command at Bunker Hill in Swett's History Reply
Frothingham argues the command question is a historical issue best settled by primary authorities. He cites Ward Prescott Thatcher Scammons and Prescott letters to show Prescott acted under no single general officer, while Swett distorts or omits key passages to support a Massachusetts command theory.

Benton Declares for Resignation Amid Missouri Vote
The St. Louis Times argues Col Benton should resign his U S senate seat after a May 1849 pledge. Missouri election results show Whig 30 340, Democratic 23 943, Benton 18 235, producing a broad two to one majority against him when combining parties or against his faction.
