Poem by Lascelles Abercrombie from Interludes and Poems depicts a theophanic vision on a hill where vastness, permanent law, and divine vehemence crumble ordinary certainty. The speaker experiences a fleeting exaltation, the law as fiery energy, and a sobbing echo through an emptiness corridor, with vivid celestial imagery and existential awe.
Mrs. Charles Edward Savidge Davenhill wife of the British consul at Granada tells Philadelphia readers that Queen Victoria longs for England and weeps in secret. The article describes a secret visit by Queen Alexandra at Granada a tea hosted by Davenhills and a humorous exchange aided by deafness and lip reading. It notes Alhambra visits and social routines of British residents and mentions Don Jaime a guest and troubles of Moorish relics.
Mrs Davenhill says Queen Victoria is unhappy in Spain and mourns England life while Americans see a genuine royal love match for Alfonso and his queen. She describes Granada life with cathedral processions gypsies and Moorish palaces, noting strict Lent, closed theaters, and no Protestant church for the Davenhills.
An unnamed visitor traveled incognito through Andalusia and met the Davenhills under a false name before leaving that night. Mrs. Davenhill notes Granada as a Carlist hotbed, with aristocrats supporting Don Carlos yet hiring King Alfonso, while near Granada the king and Portugal's crown prince were on a shooting trip.
The New York World reports Tupelo gum, once neglected in Southern swamps, has proven valuable after United States Forest Service investigations. Once dismissed during Gulf state cypress logging, its properties and handling improved, boosting demand for uses from pumps and violins to mantels, moldings, and edge grain flooring, with its flooring rivaling Douglas fir in Los Angeles despite freight costs from Louisiana.
Letters seek access to a poem titled The Chieftain of Highlands and a song The Four-Leafed Shamrock from Glenore. Readers also request Meddlesome Matty from Jane Taylor and descriptions of ice cream molds shaped as toys and objects for entertaining. The missives show interest in out of print works and practical novelty molds for serving desserts.
A short humorous exchange recalls a domestic aunt and sporting uncle debating a literary marriage joke. The quip ends with a punchline about marrying a book maker and a remark on the difference between an author and a literary figure in the family.
