Inheritance of the Meek Sermon on Conscience and Peace
The Brooklyn sermon analyzes meekness as a strong gentleness guiding moral action. It contrasts meekness with rage, cites Conscience as misused, and highlights General Butler’s restraint during a 1864 election as a model. It argues law, forbearance, and love will ultimately prevail and civilization trends toward kindness over violence.

Air Mirage Seen From Tangier Steamer in Chesapeake
Captain Wilson of the Tangier reported a clear May day off Watts Island when a dense smoke plume revealed a three masted schooner and four others as full sails appeared above a hazy horizon. The sight lasted about twenty minutes, attributed to unequal refraction in a land breeze, the first such mirage in the lower Chesapeake.
