Long oddities and notes circle in a sunny newspaper mood
A sprawling collage of items from politics murder and crime to art and culture. It mentions New Jersey legistlata, gadgets like a 1400 rpm threshing machine, a boy named Hotfire arrested in Wheeling, and civic schemes to tame Gunnison City alleys. Also note relief bricks in Philadelphia ruins, a female secretary in Minneapolis arrested for assaulting a 12 year old, a large headed police officer in St Louis, a London court bust and evidence, pearl fishing off California, and a Bavarian church built largely of papier mache. The piece also covers Archibald Alison’s autobiography Mason praise, Millais painting Pomona, a Brooklyn girl’s marriage impostor tale, immigrants moving toward New York, and a broad miscellany of humorous anecdotes and urban curiosities.

Present State of the Army and Sentry Duty Curbs
Maj. Gen. Sir Frederick Roberts argues in the Nineteenth Century that repeated night guard duty ages private soldiers in appearance and health while keeping officers young. He recommends sparing soldiers from sentry duty, ending king’s palaces and public offices guards as a costly, outdated relic. He says civilian police could do the job better and cheaper, limiting military protection to barracks.

Temper and Growth in Frontier Towns and Noted Misquotes
The text discusses cream tempering in butter making and notes how heating affects butter globules, advising gradual warming and careful tempering. It then cites Colorado City Texas as an example of rapid frontier town growth from tents to a 4000 population city in two years, before devolving into a garbled anecdote about a gentleman to Lord Norbury and a judge’s remark on wigs.
