Alligator Attack of a Missing Boy Told by a St Louis Traveler
An American recounts a St Louis journey where a traveler witnessed an alligator kill a native boy who carried a message back to his home.

Separate Armenian school life notes describe private versus public schooling, with private systems using personal rugs and varied texts, and a harsh, multilingual curriculum in public schools with separate buildings for sexes.
