A poetic piece from the Columbia Spy extols Christian faith. It celebrates Jesus Christ as savior who conquers sin and death, ascends to heaven, and inspires praise from angels while recalling Eden and humanity’s fall.
A sweeping tale of historic French convicts and adventurers. Cognard, an escapee from Rochefort, rises through Spanish service then French ranks before a fatal betrayal. Anthelme Collet and Anthelme’s duped patrons sprint through Rome, Mondovi, Toulouse, and Montpell ier, ending in brutal galleys. Baudin’s Brussels lottery scam, Fichon’s stubborn chains, and a rogue chicanery wrap this panorama of bold theft and daring escapes.
A reader letter in Panch laments social pressures on weddings and class display. He recalls a frugal Kensington marriage amid luxe parson rides, denounces wedding parades and heartrending costs, and vows to expose the social mill with further writings. A bustling column mix adds drawings, jokes, and small notices about theater acts and local oddities.
