A historical note on mule packing highlighting the pack mule as an enduring mountain institution. It praises trained mules and skilled packers for safely transporting items, humorously notes the mule’s stubborn quirks, and ends with a folk image of the animal’s unique song.

The article traces naming and baptism customs for ships, noting Pepys' diary as evidence of post-launch libations. It asks when the modern pre-launch christening began, citing 1864 Royal Katherine as the last clear old-method instance and a May 1780 cutting describing Magnanine at Deptford as an earlier, unclear reference.
A garbled dialogue from an old paper discusses an engagement ring described as lovely. The text references remarks about a father paying for the ring and mentions a Boston Transcript and an Exchange narrative with fragmented questions about moths and cloths.
