A fragmented narration contrasts labor and luck as a foundation for competence, with a digression about a New York thief who pawned a revolver for bread. The piece notes the penitentiary system and how punishment scales with the amount stolen. It reflects on justice and liberty in the city.
An oil man of seventy near Newport Indiana quarreled with his wife and, after drawing a shotgun, announced he would kill himself. He fired a shot in the air and waited an hour watching for the wife and children. They did not appear, so he returned indoors and later menaced his family before she confronted him.
The Chivaga Germans express strong disgust at Emperor William and the Crown Prince gifting to Franco Prussian War maimed soldiers, returning the money with a stall donation from Chicago supporters. They note Chicago had given generously during the war and the current gifts seem inadequate and ungrateful.
The piece attacks small pox origins in Philadelphia linked to buffalo robes from Piegan Indians, criticizing a mercenary robe seller. It condemns alleged Napoleonic restoration plots in France, praising Grant’s five day martial law stance and widespread political agitation as a sign of national distress and fervor.
A spread covers the Chicago fire blame debate and a critic’s defense of aiding victims, along with Rev. Herman Bisbee’s 1400 mile carriage feat. It lists veterans’ service totals by war, recalls Michael Phelan’s 2000 point billiards game, Swedes in Georgia climate issues, Irish aid, New Haven needle factory automation, Grant era anti corruption notes, and tariff and public land revenue tidbits.
