A lyrical memory of three robins living in a wet rot nest long ago beside a river. The speaker recalls katydids, moonlight, and braided love as seasons pass. A spring morning brings a lone fledgling, symbolizing enduring love and guidance from the singing robin. The piece blends nature imagery with timeless affection and gentle reverie.
A New York Times account recalls Carroll Sandertson, a Monroe County, Michigan soldier, who was scalped at Fort Laramie during Custer's 1869 campaign against Black Kettle. He described the terror of the assault, the brutal injury, and his long recovery, including a visible scalp scar.
A Chicago Neuwa correspondent recounts the capture of two spider monkeys near Jutigalpa in the Guayape valley. One monkey is shot, its mate tends the wound with leaves to staunch bleeding, showing a nearly human care. The female dies after arrival in captivity, her grief implied.
Fran G Carpenter notes caste rules permeate Indian life. Foreigners employ numerous servants, often 13 or more, to handle daily tasks. An English preacher earning 1540 dollars yearly laments required servants. Castes, based on religion and social roles, number in hundreds, with varied groups like Brahmins Sudras barbers beggars thieves water carriers and death mingers, dividing Hindus by strict labels.
A reader describes a sea tramp as a vessel not tied to a regular line and usually a steamer. He recalls boarding the British steamer Aguam bound for Greytown Nicaragua where American miners join a company. The second officer explains tramp itineraries vary by freight and often span many oceans, ports, and destinations with no fixed route.
A mix of fashion notes on gloves belts and gowns with tips from fashion pages, followed by a sermon on living the Christian life. The piece urges daily Christlike conduct over mere feeling, urging believers to let Jesus live through them in work and social life. It also mentions Mrs Hayes and health notes on sewing machine fatigue and a wartime style substitute for liquor use.
The piece argues converts should be trained into active Christian service, not merely added to church rolls. It urges pastors and members to enlist new believers in useful work, beyond worship, fostering warmth, light, and disciplined spiritual growth through purposeful suffering and fidelity.
A fragmentary piece surveys drunkenness and public policy from a Danish temperance law to American debates. It notes Denmark’s new rule directing officers to locate saloonkeepers after identifying a drunk, while discussing temperance opinions in Des Moines and Canterbury Prison. It mentions parents abusing children, societal cruelty, and calls for prohibition as a broader moral issue.
