RISIBLE READING AND CURIOUS TALE SNIPS FROM 19th CENTURY PRESS
Rhapsodic fragments from the Rome Sentinel and other papers recount odd reflections on wealth fate and a cautionary courtroom scene. A mother fearing whooping cough overinfluences her child, who then alarmingly proclaims the illness is coming.
Admiral Goldsborough and the witty card exchange
An amusing tale recalls Admiral Goldsborough, blunt and practical, snubbing affectation. A stylish diplomat leaves his card with E. P. for en personae. The Admiral returns a card with S. E. N. and, when asked its meaning, mutters Sent by a nigger, illustrating his blunt humor and the era's rough wit.
