It mentions Corxeckert’s threat to lose her father, a Berlin divorce rate claim, a Baltimore spinster obsessed over a dead dog, and various odd anecdotes about Americans, pilgrims, and curious global notes. The prose is fragmented and patchy with many dubious or humorous lines.
The chief engraver of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the U.S. Treasurer discuss the near perfect counterfeit $2 note.

A Detroit Free Press note recounts a traveling man who feared grippe after consulting a Chicago clairvoyant.
