The article surveys varied items from Springfield and New York, noting a royal marriage rumor involving Louis Napoleon and a Swedish princess, a costly New River Bridge project near New York with few piers built, and public reactions. It also recounts editoral takes on 19th century politics, notable incidents in Tennessee, a Cincinnati prophecy fulfilled at a Chicago theater, and a humorous horse swap mix up in a dry goods district.
A list of diverse, often garbled facts and figures from various regions and topics. Mentions debts for Russia, New York population, California products, Wisconsin Indians, and a mix of names, places, and odd claims. The fragmentary items include cultural notes, political figures, and curiosities with no single cohesive story.
The London Lancer promotes a folk remedy for felon treatment using a thumb blister technique. It suggests applying a plaster and leaving a local inset for six shonra, then removing the blister with a needle once the time expires, with the plaster claimed to keep the blister in place.
A humorous tale from St Nicholas columns recounts Cinthy Ann losing her hair and Thomas Dobbs disguising himself in his sister’s clothes to attend church. The scene unfolds with a hat and boot spectacle at the Dobbs pew and a minister’s puzzled reaction, ending in a lighthearted moral about propriety and disguise.
Last Saturday evening Niles Taylor of Smethport drove out of town with a friend. Returning home his carriage broke down and he jumped to save himself. He slept in his bed, woke to find himself on the floor after apparently leaping through a door while dreaming of a prior accident. Doctors say the injuries are fatal though he may live two weeks. The case baffles physicians and witnesses.
A concise argument that sentimentality destroys the lasting value of literary works. The author asserts truth outlasts sentiment and notes biblical texts survived due to freedom from sentimentality. He concedes rare exceptions where other strong qualities preserve works despite sentimentality. Scr ibner for November.
The article urges proper ventilation in closets with a window or air opening to outer air or a hall to remove odors from worn clothes and shoes. It notes garments hung in closed spaces become unfit to wear without thorough airing, stressing that freshness depends on avoiding unwholesome vapors. The piece ends with an abrupt, unclear note about New York barbers reducing prices.
A Salt Lake City correspondent argues Mormonism fades under modern forces as silver mines and railroads outpace religion. He notes polygamy, the patriarchal system, and family dynasties weaken with youth leaning toward Spiritualism or infidelity while Gentiles press for reform. A second item describes pigeon post experiments linking Paris to London and a hoped daily oceangoing mail between Europe and America.
Americans at a Chinese banquet in San Francisco were astonished by a plated orange containing five delicate jellies. A separate dish featured inside colored eggs packed with nuts, jellies, meats and confections. An interpreter’s amused laugh halted further questions as he declared the feat beyond explanation.
