A fragmented poem envisions a funeral scene with joy and ritual. It invokes a beloved dead, mentions brazen drums and trumpets, and imagines celebratory gestures at a grave. Names such as Wilt Hubbard Kernan appear amid the dreamlike lines.
The New York Sun reports Italians in Brooklyn earn money by sorting ash dumps. They extract tin cans and solder for resale to furnace operators, melting waste into usable metal and even salvaging leather scraps. A two horse load yields 6 to 8 dollars, with steady work and private deals with contractors.
A newspaper discussion outlines an elevated midair railway using light cars, compressed air or electricity, suspended on cables along a country and city route.

A Pall Mall Gazette note records the death of a singular Vienna diarist whose expense diary spans from age 17 to 70. It itemizes cigars, tailor bills, hosiery, shirts, collars, transport, and a 15 year drink bill including 28 786 books and 86 081 nips, totaling substantial expenditure.

Luxuries adorn mansions with 200 to 800 blooms per room, the orchid equally lavish. The spending acts as circulating charity, rivaling contributions to relief groups.
A vivid account of a convent retreat begins with girls in a study hall as a nun announces the start of a holy season. The piece follows prayers, confession, and silent chores, culminating in Easter morning as bells, lilac scents, and radiant nuns mark Christ is risen.
