A Wall of Gold Bricks and the Gold Coin Mystery
An 19th century column describes gold bricks made from coins and ingots, weighing in the U S Treasury vaults. It details their dull black appearance, oxidation, alloy content, and the daring scale measurements used to verify value while noting the improbability of owning such bricks. It also quotes Professor Swing praising future virtue and laments the cost of living and scarcity of cash.

Dog Tax Folly and Moral Musings from a Bygone Year
The piece discusses a proposed dog tax in the state, arguing it would fund education and protect sheep rearing, with authors asserting varied views on dogs and property. It contrasts humorous legislative mockery with serious policy, and includes unrelated notes on manners and a fireside anecdote about mills.
