Too Good a Recommendation and a Foundling Tale
A comic tale shows a patent medicine hawker promoting iron bitters in a crowded city, boasting a living testimonial. A foundling baby romance ends with the infant sent to an asylum after a misunderstanding at a dinner party. A chaplain’s horse theft dispute with a Quartermaster ends in surrender, invoking a biblical parallel that falls flat.

Mystery and mores from a forgotten era
A garbled tale recounts two men sharing land and a strange night event as Julius and Sam discuss a missing pork and a hole eaten through a barrel. The piece then quotes Dr Willard Parker noting hours of mental work and references a widow and daughter seeking a boarder. It closes with a portrait of Bismarck’s wife observed by a New York correspondent.
