From the Bristol Rhoniz May 1 1875 Saturday Morning
A meandering 1875 column discusses the Lincoln myth, peace efforts after elections, real estate movement, and a skeptical note on Western mining claims. It questions cabinet repairs in Washington, cites Caesar and Butler as political mirrors, and marvels at national fortune and disguises of blessings.

Privateers Yankee and Macdonough Sail Bristol Valor
A Bristol privateer narrative recounts the Yankee and its prize riches including an Indiaman sold for $250,000 and the Macdonough capturing 54 prizes. Captain Joseph Oliver Wilson commands both vessels with brash sailing, sharp crews, and a daring Bristol crew delivering swift Atlantic strikes and swift return to Cuba after peace. The piece blends naval lore, local pride, and a digressive portrait of Bristol’s maritime wealth and officers.
