The Lost City and Pompeii’s Fateful Night
The article recalls Pompeii and the Naples region, recounting the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD and the panicked departure of residents from Pompeii. It notes how Pompeii lay abandoned for centuries, the amphitheater’s rediscovery in 1785, and the broader Neapolitan commemoration of ancient cities destroyed by disaster. The piece also touches on a modern parallel of fire in Chicago and a reflection on urban ruin.

Democratic rhetoric and brigadier insult public discourse
Fragmentary editorial critique targets the Democratic party and its speakers, calling out hollow piety, praise of Providence for harvests, and insincere reform rhetoric. It notes Thurman’s absurdities about God and abolition and mocks party zeal and alleged dishonesty across a scattered, period-voice retort.
