A humorous verse from the Yankee Blade satirizes rulers including the Emperor of Germany and the King of Austria, depicting them as inept and stressed by public demands. The poem jokingly imagines whimsical misfortunes and absurd wardrobe wishes as it contrasts with common folk duties like chores and farming.
In a swift social farce, a dashing young man courts Mabel under Lady Vi’s eyes and with a calculated ruse aims to win her favor. He sues via Lady Vi’s intervention, deceives her, and earns a public triumph yet provokes private humiliation as Hamburg plans and Ascot rumors unfold. The piece ends with an ironic wedding notice and a sharp vent from Lady Vi calling him a fool.
Survivor recounts fresh details of the Charge of the Light Brigade at Sebastopol on Oct 25 1854. He describes Maude’s horse artillery, heavy brigades rode to defend, cavalry actions under Gen Scarlett, battlefield dangers, and personal observations including officer wounds and a vivid near-misadventure with Lord Cardigan’s command. He notes tense moments as troops attacked and withdrew, with references to Capt Charteris and Capt Godrey Morgan among others.
The narrator recalls cavalry on white horses and the fallen Nolan and many unnamed in a battlefield on the ridge. He shares a foreshadowing of his friend Charteris’s fate and notes how a round shot killed Charteris as they parted on the ground, with gunners burying him on the spot.
A vivid Atlantic Monthly described the bond between the famed trotter Rarus and his wiry terrier Jim. The dog followed the horse to stables, trotted beside him at the track, and even rode on Rarus's back when the horse rested. Their loyalty persisted after the horse moved to Bonner, where Rarus protected Jim from a bull terrier, an act noted by grooms. The piece also cites officers on horses' battlefield behavior, illustrating deep animal sympathy and courage.
