Hero of the Whigs and Capt Dewey's Notable Feat in 1830s
A long reminiscence recounts Capt Samuel W Dewey's daring act during the rebuilding of the Constitution in Charlestown. He allegedly removed a piece from a halyard head during a storm, aiding the ship's preservation and earning posthumous fame among Whigs and Democrats alike, with Dewey later presenting the memento to President Andrew Jackson. The tale ties Dewey to a broader political climate and early naval lore in Philadelphia and Washington.

Fourth Gentlem An Odd Conversation From The London Telegraph
A fragmented London Telegraph excerpt shows four gentlemen debating believability as they recount improbable claims. One narrator boasts of four fountain pens used for years, another mentions a four year old boy, and the group humorously shifts to hearing boys drum on a piano to lull themselves to sleep.
