A survey of historic beliefs about gems and their supposed powers. The piece traces ancient theories linking planetary influence to gem creation, outlines day-based superstitions for wearing stones, and notes enduring enchantment with colored jewels alongside reflections on their cultural return and value.
An eloquent New York speaker argues that modern urban and fashionable living erodes true home life. He laments two-city existence for city families, the pull of seaside and foreign travel, and the loss of permanence. He praises the country home and parental memory as the bedrock of character and culture.
A philosophical vignette shows a philanthropist offering a home to a worried person, who explains their reluctance to return.

The article warns that the tent caterpillar appears with buds and can severely injure trees and fruit if not promptly destroyed. It outlines a rapid control method using a light pole brush soaked in kerosene oil to locate and burn nests, stressing morning removal before feeding resumes and noting cherry trees as an escaping reservoir. It contrasts kerosene lamps with electricity, arguing gas may decline as kerosene use drops.
A tinkling Parisian fad spreads as the term pschutt enters fashion discourse. Prin Lise Trouheskey and a Berlin arrival popularize the word to describe a mirror of fashion and wealth. The craze centers on money, lavish displays, and the idea that true pschutt requires ample funds.
In a turn of 19th century Vanity Fair style commentary, the piece mocks a shifting dandy culture. It lampoons psechutt wearers, square toe shoes, jewel collars, and tight trousers, predicting a social spectacle driven by wealth and taste.
A Philadelphia Times report describes Jerry Comfort’s three trout ponds near Spring Mill Station on the Norristown Railroad. Thousands of domesticated trout, from small to two feet, are fed curds beer liver and lights as they leap and fight for food. The piece recounts feeding quirks, a Japanese visitor’s mishap, and past bee-keeping at Honey Valley, with reflections on trout behavior and attempted methods to deter them.
A call for a National Convention of the colored race to be held in Washington next September advocates one delegate per twenty five thousand Black residents, three delegates per state with at least ten thousand Negroes, and one for other states, estimating about three hundred delegates.

The American Register notes a dire view of the Democratic party's dominance and references Jeffersonian ideals as a antidote. Hawthorne’s children decide to sell The Wayside Inn in Concord, marking a notable literary-footnote amid political discourse.
A reprint of commentary arguing the Republican Party has forsaken black voters since 1876. It laments diminished white sympathy, predicts a National Colored Convention in Washington, and urges African Americans to rely on own thrift and enterprise rather than federal aid or party support. The piece critiques race appeals and notes evolving Republican attitudes toward black political power.
From early signs a three way Republican fight for the Presidency looms among Blaine Logan and Edmunds with a compromise option like Hawley Gresham or Lincoln Lincoln may draw support but Blaine’s path seems strongest though a late anti Blaine coalition could crown a new candidate. Indiana could yield the next nominee though defeat appears likely for any choice.
