A collage of short items recounts a colonel famed for Crimean medals and a comic line from a child at an inauguration. The column also notes electricity boosting gas use, boyhood wisdom, chicken incubation tricks, wooden horse collars, and a critique of midnight executions. It closes with Maine river powers, Samuel Randall’s modest estate, a rare butterfly worth a thousand dollars, Boucicault’s self‑assured view of his next play.
Anecdotes describe eye procedures with a stick to fix the gaze and remove debris, followed by tales of marriage bans and comedic missteps. A dog swallows valuables then offers a cooked canary roast tale, and Beleek ware from Ireland is valued for thin porcelain and varied pieces priced from dollars to several dollars.
A Detroit Free Press report notes that in a canvass of Joliet prison over 600 inmates deny guilt for their crimes and mostly view themselves as martyrs to the law. The Lewis ton Journal describes steel grain tanks using a pump to exhaust air and admit carbonic acid gas for storage.
A New York World selection contrasts zero based science with Fahrenheit scale and the centigrade system. It notes historical adoption, then moves to a Washington Post vignette on rolling calls and a Tribune traveler’s Edenic Seychelles.
