British Clerk Habits Compared With Washington Workers
A Chicago Inter Ocean excerpt contrasts British government clerks as idle and time-killing with industrious Washington clerks, citing a London official’s remark about work pacing and a New York laundryman’s tale on shirt collars affecting perceived cleanliness and salary. The piece also notes horse racing sires from The Breeders’ Gazette, highlighting Dictator and Electioneer in sprint speeds.

Lincoln and the fee controversy in a pioneer law practice
Ward Lamon's reminiscence recalls a dispute over legal fees involving a demented client with a $310,000 estate. Lincoln balks at overcharging, returns half the fee, faces the court’s rebuke, and endures a mock trial where he is fined but wins loud laughter for defending his ethical stance. The tale underscores Lincoln's integrity against perceived professional overreach.
