A Wyoming shanty crew encounters a spectral horseman seen near the hills. They pursue the rider, shoot at phantom apparitions, and learn the haunting is tied to Black Sam, a strangled man lashed to a dying horse, whom Charley and comrades bury with prayers at night.
A vivid snapshot of Washington paper sellers, focusing on Lily Langtry the Irish woman near the treasury. The piece describes morning and evening cries for papers from Baltimore to New York, notes the shop’s rhythms, and conveys Lily’s sharp memory and neat attire as she greets patrons and dispenses papers.
The piece prescribes eating berries peaches apples and plums freely but only at dinner time and in a raw fresh state within an hour of eating. It claims fruits cool the body and aid health by their acidity which stimulates bile, and notes that acidity must be corrected by some means to preserve the fruits' benefits.
A historical account explains how licorice root is dug in Syria, dried, packed in canvas sacks, and transported by camel caravans across land to seaports. It covers trenching methods, dirt allowances, drying practices, sack weights, caravan logistics, and river transport to Bassorah for shipment.
In a natural history note, the author recalls sea tortoises and water snakes that continue toward water after their heads are severed. The beheaded reptiles repeatedly right themselves and seek the shoreline, suggesting a water-location sense present in certain West Indian species. The trait, noted as uncommon and not covered in existing works, appears across multiple species.
