Bayard Taylor born 1825 near Kennett Square Pennsylvania rose from a printing apprentice to a celebrated travel writer and poet. He befriended Horace Greeley at New York Tribune, toured Europe on $500, and published Views Afoot. He edited a Phoenixville paper, joined the Tribune again, and travelled to the Pacific and the Orient. His life included a romance and marriage to Marie Hansen, extensive travels to Africa, the Levant, and Asia, and later acclaimed works including A Poet’s Journal and poems Lars and The Masque of the Gods.
Advocates cite Maine and Vineland as proof prohibition reduces liquor sales and public spending. Vineland reports near absence of relief cases, minimal fires, low debt, and one house fire annually, contrasted with a New England town of 9,500 with 40 liquor shops and higher costs and crime.
The Chicago Courier recounts Dr G D Beebe of Chicago performing a drastic operation on Peter Hoener a wealthy farmer near Quincy after a strangulated hernia. Beebe open opened the abdomen and removed about twenty feet of intestine examining segments two quarts of black decomposed blood had passed from the bowels. The procedure aimed to save the patient by resecting dead tissue and repositioning the remaining gut.
The report says the obstruction was removed, circulation restored, intestines returned to the abdomen, and the wound closed. The prior opening was also sealed. Mr. Hoener has fully recovered as of this date.
A biographical sketch of Larkyns, noted as Charles Lever’s real life hero. From a wealthy background to royal pretensions he roamed Europe and Asia, ending as a coal-heaver in San Francisco. His life spanned prisoner of war at Sedan to a faded “man of fortune” in Salt Lake City and Honolulu before a fatal shooting in Calistoga. The piece links his tale to wider frontier politics with Utes, Sioux, and Indian affairs debates.
Ouray chief of the Utes and Wansiltz arrived with interpreter John Ward to discuss the Commissioner’s order to return 260 ponies seized from Sioux during a hunting jamboree. Major Thompson heard Ouray’s account and sent a report to the Indian Affairs Commissioner while signaling the Sioux agent to await decision. Ouray urged restraint toward white settlers and recounted long tribal feuds with the Sioux, noting repeated horse thefts and battles between the two tribes. He is willing to comply with orders if properly instructed by authorities.
A short lyric by Bryan W. Procron seeks time's mercy as a humble family of husband wife and three children drift along life. One child is lost to the azure overhead, and the speakers seek simple contentment and calm in a gentle stream of time.
Lieut Wheeler recounts crossing the San Juan region with hot Pagosa springs, volcanic crater pools, and vast pine meadows. He notes a lonely, fertile landscape, unusual absence of buildings, and dramatic river valleys while describing Indian summers, deer, and healing waters valued by Ute Indians.
The St. Louis Republican notes that great western farms and wealthy families are dissolving under debt. Farmers face land poverty and double-digit interest, with rail tax burdens prompting probate and bankruptcy. German settlers buy small acres and farm more efficiently.
A tender night mood praises a hush that feels musical and pure, soft as a whispered kiss. The quiet inspires restraint and a holy recollection of affection, transforming a fond thought into reverent feeling.
