Washington Irving Love Story and Fashion Fads
A long Philadelphia tale links Washington Irving's bachelorhood to Rebecca Gratz, noting her charity and beauty. The piece recalls Irving's meeting with Sir Walter Scott about Rebecca, inspiring Ivanhoe's heroine name. It also humorously treats leg fashion, a Paris letter on Grecian bends, and a Boston Agassiz anecdote with a banker-origin tale.

Horrible Tragedy and Odd Tales From the County

The story is followed by an odd New York tale of a world traveler turned streetcar conductor and other brief items, including a tax note and a minister’s remark on mortality.
