A city notice invites all visitors to designate Acme Hall as their headquarters, signaling a central meeting point for newcomers and travelers. The announcement emphasizes accessibility and welcome for travelers, residents, and officials.
A rustic poem recalls a cozy hearth scene with three boys and their parents. The old home glows as logs crackle and corn pops while cider flows. After schoolwork and laughter, they retreat to feather beds as the winter night lulls them to dreamland.
In a memoir passage the author recalls his mother a gifted singer and pianist who held annual London and Brighton concerts engaging top talent. Malibran and Paganini appeared with modest fees, while the mother paid 31 pounds 10 shillings and Paganini gave a 50 pound banknote after a cordial meeting. The scene contrasts historical artistic pay with today and ends with a light note about small purchases and service.
The article laments vandalism and neglect at Ghizch museum excavations, where caretaker carelessness and candle use damage wall paintings and bas reliefs. It urges better guards, bans on candles and dangerous lamps, and restricted tomb access to preserve priceless scenes of ancient civilisations.
A collector’s description of the Espiritu Santo orchid in Panama, detailing its rare rarity, habitat, tall leaf stalks, alabaster flowers, and the dove-like central image symbolizing humility. The piece notes religious reverence by Spanish Catholics and Indians, and traces collectors finding its native bulbs recently.
Poem lines mourn the drums as a brave youth falls in battle. The speaker recalls a Southland soldier named Low, whose gallantry amid war’s dangers is linked to the distant drumbeat. The piece closes with the refrain that the drums keep calling, even as memory remains.
Louisville man recalls a Texas buffalo stampede shared by a dozen travelers bound for New Mexico. A night campfire, a roaring herd, and a field road carved by the stampede left a lasting image of the plains before the cattle and hides era.
