Chandler recounts breaking into a house to recover a note, leading to Bryce’s arrest for theft and a $2,000 debt dispute. The tale concludes with Wallace repaying and later becoming a temperance advocate, Annie marrying Chandler, and a broader reflection on girls and virtue across society.
A 19th century essay argues that education and liberty have transformed the modern girl from a dependent figure into an active, educated, and respected social participant.

A French physician Dr Delaunay describes how lying on the right or left side during sleep influences dream content. Right side dreams are vivid, illogical and often include verses, while left side dreams are subtler and more coherent with recent events and clearer speech.
A Rochester Democrat and Chronicle correspondent recalls a 19th century tale from Jack Byington a Catskill shoemaker who knew Jason Gould later Jay Gould. The interview covers Goulds youth in Roxbury Delaware County and his family, noting community ties and unusual habits, with anecdotes on his early character and religious ties.
An interview recounts Jay Gould’s early life in Roxbury near Dalhi, describing his frugal habits, sharp eyes, and rise from modest earnings to wealth.

A Philadelphia Times correspondent recalls Benedict Kirk, famed Mississippi river gambler born in Washington Kentucky. From early sleights to large fortunes and dramatic downfalls, his risky schemes and a Louisville riverboat con culminate in a high stakes bluff where a rival gambler exposes Kirk’s four aces, reshaping a tense river contest.
The parabler recalls Kirk claiming he was duped by a banker fiend over winnings. After leaving the Indiaman with his cash, Kirk recounts a tale of a $100bribed share, a later $50,000 cash haul with forty enslaved people, and a subsequent expulsion by a Memphis/Vicksburg mob. He ends by escaping in a pirogue after a bold river crossing.
A chaotic incident near Pembrey Carmarthenshire features a dynamite charge with a five minute fuse tossed into a tarn. A sportsman and his dog surged into the water as the blast shattered glass and water in a wild scene, while onlookers and missionaries in the equatorial lake area commented on the strange event. The dog was swept away in the ensuing commotion, and the tale concludes with a note on the local press in Buenos Ayres.
