Tragedy of baggage smasher and muttered tale of toil
A chaotic narrative blends a baggage master’s brutal trunk piling act with a long digressive tale of a railway worker recounting his rise from porter to engineer. Amid vivid scenes and a moralizing frame, the bystander narrator probes labor, fate, and the human cost of work. The piece shifts to opium policy in Burma and Swiss history, then to social debates on women’s work, housekeeping, and suffrage, interleaved with clipped vignettes and reflections on travel and culture.

What Persuaded the Mule
A gaunt mule in River Street faced crowd derision as handlers tried various ploys to move it. After saloonkeepers wagered five dollars to tame the beast, a bottle of “bangle-food” was given to the mule and owner, who then joined in the effort, provoking a string of temperance sermons and opinions on drinking and public conduct.
