Washington lesson in office seeking and political chequebook
A Washington letter chronicles an opportunistic Georgia Democrat who arrives with little money and builds a market-based livelihood selling oranges to fund his stay. He profits quickly, contemplates staying in Washington, and notes dealers backing him, while reflecting on the broader push by Democrats and Republicans over office recommendations and political influence. A local observer criticizes Congress for rewarding the unfit and pressuring the President with flawed choices.

Remarkable mediumistic feats at Steamburg center on Miss Nutting
Miss Carrie Nutting, a Randolph graduate, allegedly caused a table to levitate and sang a trance melody after weeks of rumor. Witnesses, including a lumberman and Seneca Indian Myron Silverheels, saw the table rise and a gold ring vanish, with alleged messages from departed friends. Indians nearby reportedly avoided her home. Nutting, just past twenty, is described as modest and attractive.
