A wounded Confederate veteran on a streetcorner declares the war over and urges rebirth of national unity. He shakes hands with imagined Yankees, forgives the enemy, and proclaims an American brotherhood, promising shared prosperity from South Carolina to Massachusetts. He envisions a single nation, one family, united under Uncle Sam.

No Mortgages in Theirs Causes Catholic Protestant Wedding
Edward M. Fry and Agnes Luning of San Francisco faced Catholic Church restrictions over religious upbringing before marriage. Archbishop Ale told Fry no dispensation without Catholic education for potential children, Fry resisted, and the couple wed a Protestant minister. The article then pivots to a reflection on tales of children's alleged brilliance across families and society.
