Spirits in the Woods séance leads to bawdy quizzing
Readable fragments describe a séance where participants hover above the table, ask spirits about Cain Belshazzar and Babel, and recount exchanges with Noah and the Ark crew. The dialogue mixes ritual questions with coarse humor, alcohol references, and a satire of spiritualist credulity.

Sary Tompkins and the Count in Five Points Romance
Deep night in New York sets the scene as Count Alfred de Flankey and Henry Podgers scheme around Sary Tompkins at a Five Points oyster saloon. A public arrest threat, a lavish Fifth Avenue mansion, a swoon, and a dramatic bill dispute end with Sary choosing love over intrigue. The tale teases a forthcoming installment in a satirical weekly.
