Long, Erratic 1880s Postal and Ocean Notes From Papers

A collage of brief items covers transatlantic passage times, drownings at Bush Pasture Point, Rhode Island industry and elections, a Paris journalist’s death in ballooning, comet perihelia totals, port duties abolishment, wool tariff politics, sea water dissolving bones, and Grant burial features in Harper’s and Leslie’s magazines. It also promotes September issues with literary and historical pieces and lists subscription details.

Memorial services honor General Grant in Bristol

The Bristol town observed memorial rites for General Ulysses S. Grant with a sunrise gun salute, a town procession, church services, a town meeting, and resolutions praising his military and civic leadership. Speakers extolled Grant as a unifying national figure, and public buildings were draped in mourning while bells tolled and a sunset gun salute marked the conclusion.
