The Telegraph announces subscription terms and rates. It notes payment timelines, postpaid communications, and discounts for ten or more copies, with discontinuation at the publisher's option if unpaid.
A fragmented page mixes Burns poetry with scientific notes on lightning and electricity. It recalls Highland Mary and Jeanie, then shifts to a technical discussion of lightning strikes, electric shocks, and their effects on structures, people, and landscapes, citing demonstrations in London and Midland locations.
A fragmented historical piece recounts a Georgia judge named Brown famed for integrity yet fond of strong drink. It narrates courtroom pranks, a wife Polly, and a tale of stolen spoons amid a lively 19th century courtroom farce with comic dialoogue and moralizing anecdotes.
A long prairie chase pits a half breed and a Kentuckian against a brace of elk. They push through heat and dust over rough terrain, finally cornering the herd at Elk Horn river after crossing miles of prairie. The animals are slaughtered for transport to the fort, leaving the two men exhausted but alive, though one later never fully recovered.
