A fragmented poem passage recalls a long bygone era. The speaker laments fading dreams and memories of loved ones, with imagery of tombs and distant figures. The tone suggests mourning and the persistence of recollection beyond death.
An explorer recounts a tiger hunt with Mitt, an Annamite hunter, at a remote telegraph station near Cape Be James. They climb a bamboo-framed mirador, witness a tiger seize a pig, and engage in a tense night stalk ending with two precise gunshots that wound the animal and set up a final pursuit in dense grass.
A village couple debates buying a Jersey cow for dairy, travels to Farmer J for purchase, and after disputes and a rough ride, the old man is thrown from the wagon when the cow bucks, leaving them to continue their pursuit with a stubborn animal and comic misadventure.
A distorted dialogue recounts a comical mishap with a cow refusing an alley, a horse tied to a rope snaked along, and a man milking jarsay in the kitchen while a wife comments on a guardian. The whimsical scene ends with a punchline about a guard appointed over you.
In a New York letter, Mary Gay Humphreys praises Mrs. Hoyt and Mrs. West for charity efforts in Westchester. She notes women of fashion joining service, with Mrs. Hoyt organizing carpentry and crafts for local youths, turning idle hands into skilled labor and promoting traditional craftsmanship over modern shortcuts. The piece highlights community crafts, village industry, and the craftsman ethic.
A mixed feature compares Marshal MacMahon's daring horsemanship and taste for superb mounts with a vivid portrait of England's Prime Minister Lord Salisbury. It recalls MacMahon's wartime pride, the Empress's joke, and famed horses, then sketches Salisbury's disciplined routine, reserve, and meticulous staff management. A Denver anecdote closes on risk and resolve amid frontier danger.
A collage of light jokes and social observations. It covers pickpockets, miners, a New York militia camp, and a broad mix of banter about travel, law, and everyday life. Notable bits include a sailing miscue, a Kansas minister's contrition, and a lawyer’s clever card to police.
