A lyrical tribute from Harper's Bazar extols Autumn as gracious and powerful, contrasting her with fickle Spring. The poem lauds Autumn as bringer of calm days, harvest abundance, and leisure, praising her maturity, beauty, and universal gifts to land and people.
In a Harper’s Young People tale, Roy Bartlett narrates a misfit plan with his partner Guy Arnold to raise ten dollars for a pony at New Holland. A license scare, a runaway wagon, and a Dutch Hollander family crash the parade. The governor cheers them, they recover, and profits beat fears as they ride with the governor.
The piece recalls a Newport cemetery scene near Kay and Touro streets with Judah Touro and Catherine Hays, then shifts to a Virginia political critique of Mahone’s control over the Republican Party and its impact on federal officeholders, espionage, and party unity, as reported by the New Haven Register and St. Louis Republican.
An editorial attacks the Jay Hubbell Congressional Committee for extortion and falsehood used to inflame sectional bitterness. It condemns the committee’s methods and argues party interests override national peace and public honor. It also asserts the committee shamelessly rescripts old civil strife tactics.
The piece critiques Republican leaders forcing the fall campaign to rest on the crops and harvests of 1882. It argues party claims rest on hypocrisy and misdeeds, praising or blaming crops as credit or excuse while denouncing frauds and centralization. It notes Indiana officials pushing parsnips over policy. The last line mentions Paris scientists deeming electric light harmless to the eye.
