Bustleton sits at the junction of two colonial roads in Philadelphia’s Thirty-fifth ward, still lacking mail delivery by carriers and relying on a long history of stagecoaches. Once a manufacturing hub with Grange and Print works, it now has few local industries but remains a healthy, close-knit community with families tracing roots to early republic days.
The New York Sun recounts John Hutson's 1870s cattle raid into New Mexico with 200 Texan cowboys under letters of marque. He gathered Texas branded cattle, redistributed profits in Texas, and helped end Comanchero trade. Hutson later moved to Colorado and died in a Denver accident.
A Washington Star quips about poets and doctors. A young man asks what a physician thinks of his poems. The medical friend replies poets betray ignorance of anatomy but poems cannot be scientific. He adds they spring from an aching heart, not a deranged liver.

The article notes that under John Hancock as president of Congress in 1785 there were three grand departments matching today’s cabinet roles. John Jay led foreign affairs at 8 Broadway, Henry Knox ran war at 15 Smith Street, and treasury duties were shared by Walter Livingston Samuel Osgood and Arthur Lee. Congress met at 81 Broadway. Washington’s 1787 election saw four New York congressmen: John Lawrence John Haring Melancthon Smith and Peter W. Yates.
In The Century's Campaigning With Grant, General Horace Porter recalls Grant never swearing. Grant explains aversion to oaths, noting swearing fuels anger and is a costly habit. A teamster remark underscores the old man's restraint, with a humorous mule-team anecdote.
