The Koumis Cure for Consumption and a Political Tale
A London Daily News correspondent describes the historical use of koumis, fermented mare’s milk, among Tartar tribes for nourishment and alleged medical properties. The piece blends this with a sprawling 1873 financial and political recount involving Kellogg, Mr. Carpenter, and disputed legislation, noting coincidences and public scrutiny without clear conclusions.

Fanaticism in Russia and the grim portrait of Bismarck
A Memel correspondent reports fear of mob violence against Jews in Vorno Russia after a priest claims a dream confession accusing Jews of murder. The governor ignores the case, a Jewish dealer is badly injured, and Jews fear for life as mobs threaten. The piece then shifts to a vivid characterization of Bismarck von Sconhausen, described as stern, disciplined, and unyielding, with a steel frame and a belief in fact and arithmetic, lacking sentiment.

The imagined consumer, aged ten, would eat 30 oxen and 200 sheep among other items, including 300 turkeys and 24 000 eggs, plus large sums of bread, butter, wine, spirits, tea, and coffee.

Daniel Webster and His Oxen at Marshfield Farm
A reverent portrait of Daniel Webster as a farmer who adored his sheep and oxen. The narrative recalls his last days with hundreds of cattle, the bond between man and beasts, and his belief that true happiness lay with animals rather than public acclaim. The text elevates loyalty of livestock above political praise.
