A St. Charles correspondent reports Mrs. Lincoln has recovered enough to visit her sister Mrs. Edwards in Springfield and may not return to Bellevue Place. Friends opposed to her confinement show mixed feelings. A fortune teller once labeled her Abraham Lincoln’s squaw in confidence with no prior meeting. Willard Carpenter of Evansville plans a major endowment for a homeless college, but success hinges on funding and student intake.
An Oshkosh incident ends in a marriage after a woman uses a strap and stings on the door to compel a reluctant partner to marry. The report also notes price gouging during floods, extortion exposure, and a quip about drunken politicians meddling with measures.
A fragment mentions why chickens are up hereafter and answers with their necks twirled in the next world, presenting a dark humor note from an old column.
The North Pole sits in the Arctic Ocean surrounded by sea ice, while the South Pole rests on the continental landmass of Antarctica. The north sees polar bears and icy seas, the south hosts penguins and a vast ice sheet atop a continent.
A humorous line asks why a solar eclipse resembles a woman punishing a boy, framing the event as a playful hiding of the sun with a provocative analogy. The craft relies on a bold, metaphorical joke rather than factual reporting.
The text lists quick notes on figures like Mrs. Scott Siddons and Mr. Bidwell, mentions Beecher’s luck and reward, hints at a missing fiancé and property, and quotes Kate Wield critiquing Disraeli. It also notes a High School entrance exam on September 8 and 9 and a New York healer Beechers calm inwardness.
Bayard Taylor reports a camp meeting episode where two men pray over a kneeling sinner as a pale woman looks on. The prayer relies on stock phrases and a later blunder by a participant mocks Crockett, ending with a boastful remark about the Lord laughing at critics.
There is a question of fact between Oliver P. Merton and Vice President Wilson. Wilson, after a Southern visit, believes whites are pursuing happiness and prosperity, while Merton, based on reports of unrest, contends more reconstruction is needed. A harsh note questions Mertons methods and party vitality. Additionally, John C. Hale of Hot Springs, Arkansas, died at the Hale House after a lifetime fight over property suits. Other items note the Prince of Wales sending rifles to India as gifts for chiefs, Wm. A. Graham of North Carolina dying at Saratoga, Stewart selling $50,000 in kid gloves at Saratoga races, and Rev Adirondack Murray starting a turf column in a new religious paper. A forecast of another wet spell is mentioned, with Shearman expected home in September.
