In Indianapolis a mining camp tale unfolds about a single woman visiting White Horse Gulch. The camp buzzes with scheme and fashion as men parade new “dudes” in white shirt, blacking brush, and razor. Fear of conflict looms but decorum and hospitality prevail as the young visitor mingles with the miners.
In White Horse Gulch a miner teases his niece about deformity, provoking the proud uncle who learns the girl is merely wearing a bustle. The crowd condemns the remark as gossip turns to laughter at the misinterpretation in Detroit Echo.
Gen Alger recounts the moment Gov Blair appointed Phil Sheridan colonel of the Second Michigan. Sheridan, small in stature but firm in resolve, accepts with modest pride and jokes that he has all the rank he wants. The scene includes cheers, toasts, and colleagues praising his rise.
A string of bizarre items from Austria to Maine notes age defying peasant deaths, long vanished heirs in Harmony Texas humor, a Kentucky name change for a son, a Sun day bottle sign in Cincinnati, and oddities from chess terms to a camelot of curious happenings. The column spans railways, tin smelting, lightning kills calves, a nursing cat with a rat, college presidents who play tennis, and a bear tale alongside a joke about a pocket telephone. It closes with curious court actions, a canal obstruction and a street scene in Albany.
