Washington Letter on Congress Enemies and Presidential Settlement
The dispatch discusses hostility between Senators Morton and Thurman and the push for a joint Senate and House committee to settle the presidential dispute. Gen Butler voices skepticism about a compromise proposing a May election and Ferry could govern until inauguration. Commodore Ammen backs a naval bill favoring coastal defense and a cheap, powerful marine ram. Ammen and Eads influence the defense argument.

Odds and Ends: Quips on marriage, manners, and milk ruses
A miscellany of humorous vignettes and brief anecdotes from a bygone era. A Connecticut grave hints at excess drinkers, a Des Moines walk prompts family reminders, and office, postmaster, and Quaker tales illustrate social quirks. A milkman's protest closes the column with a complaint about watered milk.
Books as furniture of the mind and the home
The essay argues that books define refinement more than ornate furniture and that a home rich in books shapes character. It praises affordable books for youth, calls a library essential, and asserts a man’s duty to surround children with reading material. It ends with a humorous, clipped exchange between a Yankee and a girl.
