A man with many razors admires a white handled blade. After his marriage ends, his widow keeps the blade near the mirror as she remarries. Her new husband, Mortimer, trims a corn with the same razor, while she jokes about beard and marriage. It ends with a morning kiss at breakfast.
An essay on elephants notes their lack of front teeth and reliance on eight molars two above and two below each side with a long pink tongue. It recalls milk teeth shed around fourteen and kept as curiosities by circuses. Also included is a short Hard Luck Story from Kansas about a bank failure and a Santa Fe conductor.
Royal Commissioners in Boston attend a Christmas Eve dinner at John Wentworth’s Bristol residence. As flames engulf the house, guests calmly sit at lawn tables, with Wentworth guiding service and conversation while the mansion burns to the ground.
A survey of curiosities notes 130 Colorado peaks over 1200 feet, no microbes on Swiss peaks at 2000 feet, gunpowder expansion, and a mounted American rhinoceros skeleton from Kansas. Gallium is identified in Pyrenees rock and sunlight, beekeeping immunity via stings, liquefied air trials for yellow fever, and the disease’s cold-weather death.
The Peabody Museum receives the Caliverag skull found in 1866 in Calaveras County California. Discovered in lava beds beneath 127 feet of sediment the skull is linked to the Plistocene era and thought the owner lived in a remote epoch.

A new religious sect has arisen in Russia's Sara tov province preaching the soul is immortal while the body is of the devil and should be neglected. Led by Panjackko, followers refuse washing, changing clothes, or cleaning their homes, preaching a gospel of dirt with women seen as strongest when wrapped in weakness.
A Chicago era tale recounts Counselor Bill Brien's humorous bar exam path via Judge Joe Gill. Brien hands in papers, only to learn the judge wagered on Orphan Girl and Brake Man racing at Maxwell Hotel Stakes and Merchants Stakes in St. Louis, then signs the license after a quick track-side chat.
London Standard notes a French invention by Colonel Humbert that silences gunfire by auto-closing guncarriage mouths, with Hotchkiss tests promising a device that bottles flame and report. The piece imagines war’s extinction if such stealth weapons prove viable, while observing future generals’ cunning and the push to end universal service.
