A garbled passage discusses marriage ideals, misprints, and world regions receiving daily weather reports. It mentions Tom Paris and London, Arabia, and Arabs, then asserts memory as fundamental to all mental operation. It also explains the Chickahominy name origin from an Indigenous term meaning the place of turkeys.
In a Saturday Review excerpt, the author argues that women’s lack of impersonal feeling and instinctive hostility among peers hinder emancipation. Individual affection sometimes counteracts this, but broadly, women fight for personal interests rather than the sex's welfare, slowing progress and provoking opposition from their own gender.
The New York Tribune notes Elizabeth E. Hutter widow of Rev Dr E W Hutter a Lancaster Intelligencer editor and Lincoln secretary died in Philadelphia.

A note explains the phrase washing dirty linen in public attributed to Napoleon in 1814 as a warning against public scandal. It also describes the sea bladder as a parent animal with an air bladder and 1 to 500 attached offspring moving as a unit.
A humorous reminiscence follows a sign painter who braves Fort Sumter and nearby landscapes to paint signs on beehives and rocks. He shares merry clashes with Maryland workers and a captain in Natchez, while noting how public outcry over desecration of nature limits rock painting. The piece closes with a short anecdote on a nerveful Orange New Jersey mother and a comical phonography exchange.
The word conservative entered English political language earlier than Croker credited. Canning on June 8, 1824, at a West India Dinner, reportedly called the government’s spirit essentially conservative, a remark echoed by Herries in 1829. The term thus circulated before its 1830s appearance in The Quarterly Review and Notes and Queries notes.
A man on a Broad Street omnibus repeatedly shakes a crying infant to keep her awake, claiming a swallowed drug will kill her if she sleeps. Passengers frown and glare as the father insists he must shake the child, who finally alights at the Broad and Thompson stop and they enter the Children’s Hospital.
A Washington writer praises a man who makes guests feel at home. Lucy visits, stays for dinner, enjoys ideal beef steak, and accepts a second helping. The father cheerfully warns his son not to be a pig, noting they did not expect company.
