Alexandria Correspondence notes Judah P Benjamin, ex U S Senator and Confederate official, now Queen's Counsel in London. The piece details his birth, US and Confederate service, return to law, high income, and skepticism about a bench judgeship, with vivid portraits of his London chambers and English reception. It contrasts his earnings with judicial salary and mentions his age and continued prominence.
A reader named A Primrose answers Pansy in the Chicago Journal arguing against promiscuous kissing and recommending restraint. The piece satirically warns about social pressure and ends with a Kingston Courier anecdote about a canary troubled by tobacco smoke, then recovering in fresh air.
Schmidt and Bonatz accompanied by about thirty Hottentots faced a tiger after a wolf hunt failed. The tiger mauled a Hottentot and then attacked Schmidt, who pinned the animal and with a hot gunshot from a Hottentot terminated the beast. Schmidt suffered multiple wounds but survived, returning to his labors.
A Troy Times correspondent in San Francisco reports hard times as many businessmen barely cover expenses. Stock gambling drives losses, with a September depreciation of 320,000,000 in mining stocks. The piece notes rising personal crises and tragic outcomes from financial despair.
