A satirical verse from the Yankee Blade lampoons rulers including the Emperor of Germany and the King of Austria, mocking political pretensions and domestic concerns. It ridicules leaders as out of touch and undecided about power while advocating plain country chores and pigs.
In a titled society set piece, a charming but unprincipled young man courts Mabel under the watchful eye of her mother Lady Vi. He deceives Sir Hercules’s wife, gains her favor, and faces social reckonings as his schemes collide with family pride and a planned match. The entanglement moves toward Ascot and Hamburg, ending with a marriage bid that Lady Vi exposes as hollow.
A survivor offers new points about the 1854 Charge of the Light Brigade at Sebastopol. He details daylight artillery actions, Maude's wounding, and heavy casualties among officers and horses, followed by a bold cavalry assault and rapid redeployments to aid the retreat. He recalls guiding troops up the ridge and scenes with Capt. Charteris and Capt. Morgan amid the chaotic rout.
The narrator recalls cavalry on white horses and the death of Nolan on the ridge while recalling a gloomy farewell with Charteris before a fatal round shot ended his friend’s life. The gunners buried Charteris on the battlefield and the speaker signs off as Colonel Doln Shake spear.
A Atlantic Monthly writer notes the famed trotter Rarus formed a deep bond with a wiry terrier puppy given to Splan and later to Dave the groom. The dog followed the horse everywhere, learned from patience, rode him, and shared stables, fences, and performances, while Barus protected his small friend when danger arose.
A natural paint from a New Granada plant stains writing red at first and turns black after hours. The juice can be used directly as ink, as shown by tan sheets soaked with water revealing the marks. The description hints at a traditional use for writing materials.
A mosaic of brief items on art honors, military service, marriages, hunting lore, politics, philanthropy, and science. Notable mentions include Moeissonier being named Grand Cross, King Louis of Portugal’s charitable copyrights, a 500 pound white wild hog, Paganni violin offer from Genoa rejected, and Gladstone praising colonial era statesmen.
The article compares the 1880 census counts of United States newspapers with Rowell's 1880 directory and with Prof. North's enumeration. It notes Rowell's figures were lower by about 16 percent for total publications and 15 percent for dailies, while Rowell's current directory lists 16,319 papers with 1,494 dailies, implying about 19,000 total periodicals and around 1,700 dailies today.
The article notes crows in Norway boldly raid nests including elder ducks while local drakes defend brood by diving and overpowering intruders. It cites crows and ravens killed by water and mentions lobsters as unfazed by young sea birds. It oddly pivots to report gum-chewer paralysis as a medical neurosis.
