Manners and grafting curiosities in a 19th century tale
A column extols manners over money, citing a polite railroad-town boy Charley as a model, then notes grafting fruit trees in detail. It recounts S Prentiss hosting a stranger who ends with a digression on metempsychosis, and sketches humorous revivalist sermons and cholera era fumigation debates. Local dialogue includes a racially charged exchange observed in Vicksburg.
