A longboard of echoes on love and blindness travels from Summit to New Jersey as a blind man elopes with a Belle. The piece muses on perception, race, and romance, with anecdotes about famous thinkers and a critique of trust in looks.
A fragmentary dialogue shows young couples at a social event exchanging affectionate banter and casual jests about names. The piece shifts to brief items noting the death of General George B McClellan, his career from West Point to Civil War command, and a long obituary recounting his roles, victories, and later life.
A long humor piece lists feats women can perform better than men from holding pins to judging people, with satirical asides on gender and society. It includes anecdotes about churchgoers, detectives, and a mix of regional humor, ending with a domestic scene about political gobbledygook and a mugwump quip.
A rambling reflection contrasts meek, compliant editors with fierce critics in small town journalism. The speaker jokes about daily papers over twenty years, town notoriety, and how readers react to unflattering coverage of locals.
