A garbled 19th century column mixes medical speculation on sleep, stimulants, and a fatal fire, with anecdotes about General Kilpatrick’s ailment and Edwin Booth’s Shakespearean rise. The piece drifts into theater gossip, odd humor, and local political leanings, weaving medical, military, and cultural fragments into a dense, era-tinged page item.
A sprawling clipping reports fires killing at least one infant and a fireman, a police case in Indiana, a suicide in Michigan, ailments in Venezuela, and a Des Moines bridge completion. It notes pardons in Indiana, weathered perspectives on Paris and Prussia, and Carlyle on religious preaching. Names include P. O Shea, Wm G Blackman, Guzman Blanco, and Brederi¢n Rich.
