The Lobster Folly on the New York Slip
A shipboard tale recounts a Yankee man’s hunger driven misadventure in New York harbor. After a punishing voyage with scant rations, he buys lobsters and crackers from a huckster, only to fear poisoning when news spreads of copper lobster taint. A mock doctor prescribes emetic salt water as the crowd laughs at his peril and folly.

Tax on Banks Versus Real Estate Under Last Winter Law
A proponent argues that bank stock is taxed more heavily than land under a new law. Using a 169 acre farm valued at 4,650 dollars, taxed at 9.06 dollars, compared with bank stock yielding 465 dollars in dividends and 27.90 dollars tax, the speaker claims banks are taxed over three times as much as land, urging a total tax system revision to tax assets at true value.
