John Vance Cheney’s Century poem evokes a wild rose thicket as summer’s epitome amid gold-green covers and dewy noons. The verse contrasts beauty with harsh modern presses and sorrow, urging the soul to seek rainbow beyond years.
An eyewitness account from June 30 1862 describes a night march to Frazier’s farm near Charlee City, Federal artillery pummeling Confederate positions, wounded cries, and a cabin scene showing the human cost of war. The narrator recalls dawn, graves and improvised defenses, and reflects on peace and war before recalling marching orders for July.
A breezy tale of Master Harry and a landlord's wind fed meals leads to a gentle scene where a father plans a stern lecture for his four year old Florence, which ends with the child admiring her papa. The piece then shifts to summer embroidery using seeds from watermelons and musk melons, daisies, wheat stalks, and beads, with craft ideas and decorative stitches. It closes with a stray ad note for reliable clocks at 115 West Washington Street.
A collage of curiosities and lore including flatirons heated by electricity ranked as strain, a Missouri man who ate eleven plates of ice cream and died a week later, and health cues from nail growth. It notes alterations to the Corcoran mansion for Senator Brice, Paris murder comparisons, a lazy Empire State fisherman versus a dog, the sirloin origin tale, thumb behavior as truth indicator, and a Chinese method of criminal thumbs.
The piece notes Ocean Grove bans street walking in bathing suits at night and credits Mrs. Astor with popularizing Newport swimming. It describes George Vanderbilt’s Bar Harbor retreat Point de Arcadia with a rustic bath house fed by the sea, a sanded bottom, diving area, and a natural, unpruned lawn surrounding a premier tennis court.
In a London Tid Bits tale, clerk J faces daily petty annoyances from jealous colleagues. When they feign concern over his health, the manager grants him a brief holiday and orders coworkers to share his workload. The Hartford Post notes a profane office worker whose screaming exclamations ruin his trousers after ink spills.
Reading through a jumble of items, the paper notes a deadly pistol and knife duel at a People's Party convention in Macune Texas leaving two dead and others dying, while unrelated reports cover a murder in Illinois, an heiress inheritance in England, a missing girl found in Ohio, a Chicago grain pipe line invention, and assorted social notes.
In a United States district court case, Dr. Schindler-Sarnay of Vienna alleges counterfeiting of his obesity treatment pills and seeks damages and a permanent injunction to stop the defendants from further imitating his product and using his trade marks. The filing names Eisner & Stenderson Co. and US agents for distribution. The document lists a range of related products and prices appearing in a late 19th century advertisement and trade notice.
