In a hall, a wounded Maryland soldier named Joe Parsons recalls Antietam. He lost sight in both eyes yet remains cheerful, singing "I'm a bold collier boy" as a comrade helps him recount a night march, a brave rescue, and his enduring resilience.
A speech by Mr. Elmore ridicules debt collection laws as humbug and legal shuffling. He narrates a suit over oxen gifted by a lord of whom the buyer is later told the oxen are his son’s. The tale moves through a justice court, a Wisconsin venue shift, and a dog kick that costs 200 dollars. The speaker argues litigation costs and delays outweigh justice, urging settlement of disputes. The speech also compares state sizes, noting Missouri and others are larger than parts of New England.
