A verse sketch satirizes fall housecleaning as women scrub and redecorate while husbands fear contact with soap, paint, tacks, and dust. The poem notes clutter, shifting furniture, stained clothes, and a wary husband dodging project chaos before bedtime.
The Washington Star article describes Charleston, noting hundreds of buzzards roosting in palmetto forests and flocking to the Market Street market to consume waste. Birds deterred by fines, yet praised for keeping the market clean, with dawn departures after sunrise.
George du Maurier reflects on the difficulty and artistry of capturing London's street life after Charles Keene. He notes costsermongers washer women cabbies and omnibuses as worthy subjects, suggesting Keene’s talent set a high bar and wondering if he might have become a humorous illustrator himself.
A serialized tale scene shows a villain threatening a woman to photograph her in a shuttered top room. She improvises, then the camera fires, capturing her final moment. The narrative threads include a later note on military espionage trials in 1890s France and a recipe for whitening curried fowl, plus brief jokes from Detroit Free Press and Harper's.
A long-winded medieval legend traces the gold given by the three Wise Men to Christ through Terah, Abraham, and Joseph, weaving biblical figures with epigraphic coin lore, the Sheba visit, Shishak’s plunder, and Judas’s betrayal before ending with a New England joke about a minister and a spoonful of pudding.
