A mixed column of moral verse and brief anecdotes urges children to endure misfortune with good humor, smile in rain, learn work, and show self restraint. It includes verses on temper, a cabman tale, a Russia bear anecdote, and a lighthearted Lincoln tale, all styled as late 19th century newspaper miscellany.
A Detroit Free Press fragment recalls Civil War era talk at a Chicago convention, discussing Lincoln and the idea of great leaders. It shifts to a survey of international nicknames for nations, then to reflections on helping others, love, and a humorous street anecdote about a tramp. The piece closes with Moran’s WWI era recollections and wartime camp life notes.
A Boston correspondent recalls R. B. Tolles of Boston as the greatest lens maker, claiming he produced a 7500x object-glass around 1874. The lens, one seventy-fifth inch in diameter, passed through several hands, including Maj. Woodward and Dr. Ephraim Cutter, and remains noted for its size and the controversy over Nobert’s ninth band.
A composite of anecdotes reflects rural beliefs about dying and folk remedies, recalling a physician’s patient death amid a chorus of remedies from rhubarb to pennyroyal tea. Included is a sketch of Eugenie’s limited formal schooling and self-taught English, with notes on her late education, language, and arts talent. A Georgia jeweler’s tale about sick pearls illustrates climate as a cure.
The judge questions a witness described as an old darky about the value of an oath. The reply reveals a dollar amount paid for a sworn claim, causing consternation in the courtroom. The piece adds a note on circulating attitudes toward churchgoing and theater attendance.
The Cordilleras deer hunt is described as an elaborate tribal ritual. Hunters span generations, use horns and torches to stampede deer, employ jaguar and wildcat symbols to lure prey, and push animals over cliffs while women disable captives and prepare skins. A portion of meat and pelts are traded or crafted in the village.
An ancient newspaper explodes the Fata Morgana as a mirage-like sea phenomenon visible from Calabria toward Messina. It describes alternating visions of arches castles ships and a rainbow halo when atmospheric and tidal conditions align, noting Italian belief that the strange views foretell good fortune for observers.
A historical note explains that solid iron initially sinks when placed in molten iron, then heats and expands, rising to float. The process mirrors with steel.
