Waifs and Wiles in the 19th Century Fashion Jest
A collage of quips on women, society, and morals from a late 19th century page. Notes on fashion, propriety, polygamy, runaway wives, legal fines, and a parable about Noah and wine mix satire with social observation, naming places such as Lac qui Parle Minnesota and Indianapolis. The piece juxtaposes fashion critique, court anecdotes, and religious-tinged witticisms reflecting era attitudes.
Number of Type in a News Paper
The Poughkeepsie Eagle article on how mistakes happen in newspapers estimates the daily types used in a newspaper of its size at 600000 bits of metal rearranged each day. It highlights printing exactness and the skill of printers, noting precision surpasses fine cabinet or mosaic work. It also includes excerpts about the White League in Louisiana asserting it is not political, though its actions may affect politics, and ends with a humorous Victorian misprint anecdote about Betsy and Stubbs with damaged underwear.
