A rambling 19th century column blends memories of childhood at an old country corner with literary notices and debates over liquor licensing. It juxtaposes nostalgic verses, reviews of magazines and novels, and a long civic-polemical discussion on licensing and temperance, with local sentiment and an Ohio county voting result.
A city dry goods clerk scene unfolds with a man seeking eight shirts worth thirty two yards of cloth as a Christmas gift for his wife, plus a debate over license laws and revenue. Notable items include mustache etiquette at a Belgian court and a doorway prank by a New England schoolteacher.
A London Encyclopaedia revision delays on the deluge Noah topic as editors refuse bold new takes and settle for dull orthodoxy. A Atlanta Constitution note reflects on marriage speculation and the shady practice of wedding policies, where a man buys life or marriage policies on others and bets on engagements.
A garbled list portrays diverse figures from 19th century society including Ben Hill, Fred Douglass, Ex-Public Printer Defrees, Cetewayo, President Arthur, the Prince of Wales, Charlies Stewart, and Admiral Seymour. It weaves taxes on liquor, a Ohio constitution clause, and temperance debates with odd anecdotes about Shakespeare, Clark Mills, and a Berlin tight rope walker Brondin. The piece shifts to a discussion on Chinese foot-binding and the cultivation of miniature pine trees, detailing plant care and aesthetic shaping.
A Mt. Carmel plant called a coal lily blooms in fall with about twenty large, odorless flowers and no leaves. A cemetery tomb bears a curious inscription, while various medical and social notes reference Hunt's Remedy, coffee for typhoid, and remarks on prominent figures and events.
