A satirical verse recounts a procession of liars named the snake liar the fish liar and many others bowing before a crowned figure, with mock reverence paid by the father of his son. The piece credits S. W. Foss in Yankee Blade and reflects era publication style and tone.
A tale from England centers on a wealthy uncle guardian and his niece who vanished in the forest near Epping. An execution followed amid disputed testimony, later exonerated when the niece returned and recounted a plot by her suitor to marry her, with the uncle implicated by circumstantial evidence. The piece ends noting the need for cool inquiry in capital crimes.
A collage of 18 artists and 24 engravers noted for To the March Century, and a claim of 600,000 monthly Readers for Ladies' Home Journal. The piece includes jokes about David and John Hume, a Boston and Harper’s commentary, a St. Louis Republic quip, and a Phillipsburg Ledger mockery of a Bellefonte News editor. It also quotes a detailed antique treatise on human proportions and Greek sculpture, with side references to Adams Hancock and Otis.
An advertising pitch asserts Dr Sage’s Catarrh Remedy cures catarrh without palliation. It promises $500 if it cannot cure, and $0.50 cost at druggists plus a bold bet on success. The text references broad claims about miners, naval forces, farming profits, Greece schooling, and public notices.
A meditation on omissions in writing and scientific marvels. It notes platinum drawn into ultra fine wires and compares tiny strands to hairs. It also surveys French detective methods, spy networks, and the varied roles of spies among different social classes.
The fragment presents a dialog on love and wealth with heiress and Madge, then a joke about kerosene lighting. It shifts to a dramatic line about church attendance, a brief note on appetite, and ads for Hood's Sarsaparilla, Brown's dental parlors, and Gail Hollen Eagle condensed milk as infant food.
