How Poor Young Men Seek Rich Wives in Matrimonial Speculation
A New York Telegram report recounts a social circle discussing a man named Larry who funds marriages to wealthy women. He loans money to ambitious, penniless suitors in exchange for 100 percent interest and security tied to love letters, notes, and the marriage outcome, with plans to expand the scheme to strangers.

Remarkable Civil War Case of Captain Johnson’s Wounding
A private in the Seventeenth Town Volunteers, Captain Johnson endured a frontal through wound at Big Black River near Vicksburg in 1863. A silk handkerchief drawn through his body kept him alive sixteen years with the only relief lying face down. Later commissioned as a regular army captain, he was retired on a special pension. Also notes on Thomas Macdonald and a lunacy confinement in Poughkeepsie with delusions of eating and sleeping and leg ailments.
