Capitol Panoramas and the People's Candidate
Joaquin Miller rails at the professional politician in Washington. He imagines a vast marble capitol, a wrestling match between parties, and a growing chorus calling for reform. A dinner of scribes names George William Curtis and General Don Miller as possible presidents, while the author upholds the people's will over entrenched power.

The Capitol Fragrance: A Rant on Luxury and Cost
A vivid flare of satire targets Congress and the Capitol’s lavish interior decor. The author rails at ornate "delicious articles" filling ten thousand rooms, calculating costs of daily care and yearly maintenance, while mocking politicians and the public debate over spending. He imagines Senators tending their own flowers and laments the extravagance amid Western homes devoid of such luxuries.

A Dog That Knows the Cars and Rides the Street
A bulldog with a satchel rides the Shawmut and Columbus avenue cars daily, boarding the front platform, observing passing vehicles, and returning to the curb when the next car arrives. The driver confirms the dog belongs to a Park Square doctor, knows the car checks, and is celebrated for its intelligence though it has yet to pay fares.
