A Negro Sculptor at Roma and a Schoolroom Tale
The piece notes Edmonia Lewie, an American of African and Indian descent, sculpting in Rome on works including a bust of Col Shaw and Dio Lewis. It also recalls a long Indiana Schoolfellow anecdote about a troubled boy named David whose kindness and firm guidance lead him to reform, gain trust, and become a reliable clerk. The excerpt ends with Japanese festival lore on the fox spirit and a fablelike caution about seductive danger.

Flow the Arabs Treat their Horses
A nineteenth century view describes Arabian horses as treated with extreme severity to preserve purity of blood. They are tethered to stakes in heat, saddles stay on, limited water and a single daily bed of barley. The writer notes sobriety, patience, and speed from such discipline and portrays the horse’s ferocious power when released.
