Veterans of the Civil War in Congress and public life
A Boston Herald dispatch surveys Civil War generals and officers now aged and retired, noting Meade, Sherman, Sheridan, and others in Congress or public life. It sketches their ages, habits, and faded prominence, predicting the era when few generals remain active. A separate Baltimore item recounts a curious Bowery freak show marriage and its aftermath with onlookers and vendors commenting on the deceased bride Blanche.
