A reflective poem urges swift action to aid the poor and comfort the grieving, warning that delayed generosity is a hollow tribute. It emphasizes extending aid to stricken friends and neighbors before they are laid to rest, with a final cue to Paul Globo.
Mrs Botkine plans a bacteria friendly bath for Mr Smith, a Canada born visiting scientist, to keep him engaged while Prof Botkine is away. The ruse succeeds in luring the guest to the tub with a display of bacteriology books and illustrations, but misreads his interest and identity.
Dr W H Daly recounts a tale of removing fangs from a setter as a rattlesnake guarded the scene on Smithfield street. He describes wine, aqua ammonia, and a six mile haul to an Indian haying camp for whisky while Gen Miles, Gen Barlow, and Frederic Remington supposedly witnessed the event. The woodsy anecdote blends fact with exaggeration for newspaper effect.
A brief note recalls a Tudor era law banning street hawkers from selling apples and plums to curb servants and apprentices from stealing employers money. It contrasts a New York bartender noting cash customers matter more than dice players and ends with a quip about cats performing on walls, blaming the waul rather than the feline.
A retrospective piece surveys Oliver Cromwell life from birth at Huntingdon in 1599 through his Puritan rise in Parliament and military reform to his eventual rule as Lord Protector. It notes his victories against Charles I and the later doubts about his despotism and death in 1658.
A music teacher trains the wealthy butcher’s beautiful daughter in crotchets and quavers. Though she masters easy showpieces like Tannhauser and Lohengrin, the butcher demands a more fitting piece for parties. He jokes about finding a composer named Choppin to write music for a butcher.
A whimsical tale describes lost pins picked up by fairies and hammered into music notes. A New York paper recalls a young man hearing a chorus of pins singing Daisy Bell, arranged to resemble a line of musical notation on a pine board with varying weights.
A young girl demonstrates a homemade pin organ with pins set at different widths to produce a recognizable Daisy Bell melody. She explains adjusting pins to raise or lower notes and showcases a circular pin organ and a whirligig device connected to a wheel to drive notes.
Thomas Martin, 46, a first time candidate from Virginia, wins the senatorial seat over General Fitz Hugh Lee and Sen. Lee. A lifelong Virginian and former cadet at the Virginia Military Institute, Martin practiced law at 21 and entered politics ten years ago with the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad.
A woman confronts a clerk over improper seating and service in a Buffalo area store. The fragment shows her anger as she recalls a male employee offering her a seat, while another man remains passive. The scene is tied to a gossip tone from the Buffalo Press and a Judge’s remark about wedding attire spending.
