Dorothey Drew and the Grand Old Man in Britain
A whimsical note on Dorothey Drew delighting in Mr Gladstone stepping back from public life. It contrasts England’s playful image of the statesman with a second tale of missionary charity kindness and a toy flotilla sent to Japanese children that never reached their destination, as recounted by the New York Recorder.

Chinese Imperial Seal Destruction Marks Anam Protectorate
A New York Sun report recounts M Patenotre's description of the 1884 destruction of China's great seal as Anam shifted to French protection. The scene at Hue involved diplomats, officers, and a moral moment as the molten silver seal vanished. The piece then shifts to Kate Field's Washington pondering the fairness of juries with women present, arguing greater moral tone and a shift to principle over comfort.

The fish can strike from two to three feet, causing insects to fall and be swallowed by the predator. The report cites the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Coating of Ironclads and Early Tartans in History
The article discusses speculative coatings for ironclads using compressed paper and ramee fiber, imagining flexible scales akin to shark skin to protect hulls. It notes the need for light on governing conditions, then shifts to Mary Grant Crater and equal rights comments, a testimonial for Chamberlain’s remedy, and finally traces Scottish tartan references from Magnus Barefoot to 16th century accounts.
