The Wizard and the Odd Charms of Bully the Wizard
An aged tale recounts Bully the Wizard living among Shoshone in Wyoming and visiting humbler towns. The strange man negotiates a peculiar charm, travels across 5000 U.S. inhabitants, and quarries a mysterious string that becomes the focus of county road improvements. A local committee finds the charm pit and enlists Mr. Shuanan to care for it, while Bully prepares a new marvel more wondrous than the first.

Will of Stev. William Wright Ends in Eccentric Trust
A late will of Stev William Wright of Arab Testa Chiselhiurat faced court scrutiny for odd provisions. It funded a female college to train wives and housekeepers with meetings and social duties, while two thirds of invitations were to single men. The court ruled the schemes illegal and the will invalid.

A Walero Woman and the Stage Dream
New York correspondence recalls Sadie Martinot, a teenager from a poor family, drawn into acting by two young journalists in 1883. They arrange an audition, secure work at the Stage Union, and rename her Sadie Martinot, launching her early stage career with promising wages.

Repairs Needed at the Rail Yard With Car 806

London Taverns and Anecdotes in Old Times
A garbled extract notes English inn signs and names such as Honest Lawyer Silent Woman Pig and Whistle Cook and Bottle Lamb and Flag Hore and Groom Fox and Lamb God and Horses and more. It recalls a London beer hall rhyme and a tavern with a side entrance serving beer for a farthing, plus odd mottoes and travelers’ anecdotes from the era. The piece shifts to St. Louis and Senator Hendricks, recalling his wife Eliza’s quiet presence during his speeches, and ends with varied notes on medicine, fashion, and local phrases from Manchester and Bath society.
