Diversions and oddities fill a crowded page of tales
A jumble of notes covers politics, theater, and curiosities. A Republican Ohio candidate recalls youth, while Wendell Philips is cited on an Indian stopgap. Varied items include a poisonous almond fruit becoming a delicacy, tavern signs, and a Mourner's elam. A Swiss hotel keeper reviews bankrupts, and a case about a Forrest will unfolds. Reports touch on the Rio Grande outlaws, Murphy temperance badges, parrots, and marriage quirks. Notable items discuss a light-fueled horse exhibition, Keely machine tests, and Cavill’s attempted English Channel crossing with weather and supplies noted.
