A garbled reel of foreign and domestic reflections cites the New York Graphic on Japan’s republican future and Europe’s tech adoption, notes on Conkling’s wealth, rail travel reach, and a glimpse of New Mexico reading laws. It mentions ballooning contests, electric trains, and Moroccan farming woes with a thread on Prince Rudolph’s extravagant life and debts.
A restless meditation on whether kindness remains amid hardship and conflict. The speaker laments collective strife and urges pity for brothers bearing heavy loads, contrasting human folly with frail mortality as soldiers descend together into dust.
In 1858 vigilantes hunt John Neumann after a stage coach robbery caper near San Francisco. He escapes, proves his innocence after a dramatic pursuit, and is later sworn in as a member of the vigilante order.
Beagles are praised as adaptable field dogs, superior for sport aside from bird hunting. They trail stubbornly, follow deer and wounded game, and suit small packs kept kennelled together. Their lively voices and manageable speed aid hunters, with growing popularity as game becomes scarcer.
A seasoned U S marshal explains clever hiding places for stills in Tennessee and North Carolina style caves and underground pipes. He details a Carter County Tennessee foxhole plan and a Mud Run hideaway with a cave system and a crosshouse arrestees.
A friend asks Charley to help at an amateur theatre event but his bachelor uncle is gravely ill, so he must attend to family duties. In another note, a researcher reports mulched trees yielded six to eight barrels of apples each while the same age trees not mulched produced only a bushel.
A reader argues the cuckoo belongs to the evirobios group not the hawk tribe and should be spared by game-keepers. He cites the cuckoo as insectivorous and beneficial, noting its caterpillar predation and urging preservation.
A traveler recalls Caspian shores in Central Asia alive with birds. Cormorants, cows and magpies dot branches while vultures and eagles circle the summit. Falcons skim fish, swans and pelicans fly in a line above, as seabirds hunt and perch.
The article surveys bridal dress designs in London using white peau de soir and Robespierre inspired details. It also covers The King's Daughters charity, ancient breastpins, gingham and summer fabrics, tea room splendor in New York, fashion notes on stripes and mourning, royal China genealogy in China, and anecdotes from public figures, including Senator Jones and a corn remedy anecdote.
A Boston Cultivator critique notes the decline of frontier myths about quick fortunes on the plains. It argues harsh winters require shelter and feed, stock cannot endure without care, and soil quality and crop prospects may not surpass eastern farms.
A Pittsburg well drilled for bakery water produced three concurrent outputs: fresh water at 100 feet, salt water and gas at 200 feet, with gas lighting the scene. Two casings insured covered each output as an engine is started and the gas ignited.
A garbled 19th century miscellany teases science claims from bees to rainfall experiments. It notes imagined air dust removal by electricity, frost harms on European trees, and a Kansas petition seeking public funds to test artificial rainfall by cannon fire. It also mentions Norwegians aiming for the North Pole and dubious heatless light debates.
The death watch beetle is blamed for ominous tidings and faint-hearted nerves in old houses. A boy in Berlin Hospital has a rare condition with the heart on the right side, yet he remains generally well.
