A fragment from the Philadelphia Press evokes the wild meanings of wind and storms. It contrasts wailing children and grieving mothers with the sighs of faithful lovers, framed as a lament under blustering rain.
In a December ranch trek, two men hunt as winter thaws, shooting a black-tail deer then packing the buck to the saddle. They escape a river ice mishap and return home triumphant with Christmas dinner, amid practical house notes and odd health ads.
A collage of brief notes spans cautionary tales about fire and lamp tech, humor on wooden shoes and tracks, a Missouri law on official fees, a drowning mishap in Oswego tied to a clothes wringer, a classroom typo about General Harrison, and a cascade of fortunes among wealthy widows led by Marshall C. Roberts and Frederic Neilson.
A London tale features Charles Greville, aged and shrewd, duping a medium at a seance as he humorously reveals his mother’s supposed presence. The anecdote sits amid a collage of witty extracts from New York Weekly and Chicago Tribune, with notices on theater, fashion, and oddities.
A collection of brisk items mentions Rudyard Kipling's ambitious novel and its mixed reception, a wedding planned for Mr Franklin Singer in Devonshire, and brief biographical notes on early U.S. figures. It also recalls social mores, a Garfield assassination linked widow, a Jasper, Tennessee death, and a lighthearted shoe shop anecdote from Washington.
