A fragmented reminiscence recalls Rastus a boy from the Reconstruction era who grows from play to soldiering as the Tenth cavalry fights in Cuba. The piece blends harsh stereotypes with a tribute to Black troops and their courage under fire, ending with a reflective note on freedom won through battle.
The record details Major General Wesley Merritt's rise from line officer to brevet major general in the Army of the Potomac, his crucial actions at Beverly Ford and the outbreak of campaigns against Lee, and his later leadership in the Shenandoah and the 1865 victory culminating at Appomatto. It notes Sheridan’s praise of Merritt’s adaptability and precision under pressure.
A fragmentary account describes a drifting, icebound vessel named Cervo observed near the Azores.

Cattle aboard tasted chalky, beef likened to earlier supply, with signs the craft had been adrift decades.
A historical newspaper page recounts Commodore Dewey’s Manila Bay victory with crowd fervor aboard the Oregon and a memorial to “Remember the Maine” vividly described.

An article details a proposed Detroit style jail with 360 burglar-proof steel cells, each costing about $1,000. Cells include folding bunks and tables, washbasins, and toilets. A peephole arrangement allows guards to monitor inmates while keeping prisoners unaware of surveillance.
The piece describes early experiments toward creating a synthetic milk product using cellulose and other substances. It notes a French exhibition where scientists claimed success in producing a substitute resembling milk and outlines the chemical process and apparatus, including collodion and cellulose derivatives, hinting at a factory project under Mr. Nitewno in Bexateun.
The article depicts a prison wing with rubber matting underfoot to dampen sound, electric lights from a central outlet, and a new cell locking system allowing simultaneous or selective locking from the outside.
