The piece extols the forevar as Lawrence and Douglas county’s oldest newspaper with the largest circulation, a telegraphic service, and dominance in advertising. It recalls past rivalries with the Lawrence Tribune and notes its persistent prominence in the region.
The St Joseph Herald reports on northern and southern Democratic views on soldier pensions, noting Ohio and New Orleans papers challenge pension bounties. The piece also discusses idealized world critiques, weather and water distribution across regions, and Kansas longing for mountain scenery and a canal-like river route from Kansas City to the sea. A late ad seeks steady at-home work offering $1 to $8 daily.
An 19th century profile describes the Jackson Whites in Bergen County New Jersey. It portrays a small, insular community near Englewood with mixed English and New Jersey Dutch speech, rugged living, and seasonal subsistence from berries and game. The piece includes vivid, sensational observations of children, wives, and dwellings, concluding with an anecdote about a Boston man and a Chicago social scene, followed by a note that the French and English quarrel over fish.
A collection of curious physics notes on crowd stepping on bridges, vibration, and resonance. Examples include soldiers marching in step risking bridge collapse, the sound transmission through air and strings, and a brisk harbor boat delay recounted with a forty three second fight observed by two men in Atlantic avenue.
A mosaic of brief dialogues and anecdotes: a woman and boy at a drug store, a remark about silver in Nevada valued at three hundred fifty two million dollars, and a president advising a cashier to abandon stock speculation and flee to Canada. The text reads like a partisan or satirical compilation.
