Fifteen East Coast emigrants dine in a Virginia City restaurant as Mr. Terry, a wary local, orders bizarre dishes such as baked horn toad and tarantula sauce. The scene unfolds with a chorus of surprised glances as the comic feast is imagined and then privately eaten.
A stitched together Punch excerpt satirizes arts vocabularies in music and painting with quips about harmonies crescendos and chiaroscuros. It follows a Sunday school scene on suffering and a charming tale of a stylish young man at an inn in California who avoids paying a bill by charming the host.
A narrator reports Alfonso asking a distinguished politician for advice on ruling. The adviser warns against famous phrases like The Empire is Peace and Not a stone of our forts, arguing they breed error or hypocrisy. The excerpt blends quips from newspapers and a school drill joke about capitals and categorizing them as animals or vegetables.
A collage of satirical notes, witticisms, and social curiosities from New York and other cities. Jests about kings, poets, and polite society mingle with quips on fashion, postal cards, and labor strikes. Observations touch on Spanish royalty, Boston and Indianapolis life, and petty scandals.
