The piece surveys diverse topics from a Kentucky mushroom project and a German opera score to New Ulm’s rebuilding after a tornado, charity relief progress, a wax figure anecdote, literary coincidence, workers libraries in England, an electric recovery of copper from the Vermillion wreck, telegraph routes via water, and a London hotel described as an American-style swell.
A collage of sensational notes on royal family behavior, wagered by press abroad, and a Philadelphia letter-carrier baby tied to the President's health. It describes Queen Victoria’s orders, Prince of Wales racing at Goodwood, and a psychiatric mirroring in Philadelphia as garbled reports swirl around the White House condition.
Uncle Mose and Aunt Sally discuss family strife in Austin Texas as Aunt Sally laments her husband growing more cross while Marie Roberts pushes church state union and President Garfield recovers. Aunt Sally admits she has done her rebel bes but Mose notes her husband cannot get worse than he already is.
A Burlington Hawk-Eye style spoof parodies weather predicting with homegrown rules. It lists humorous signs such as blue skies meaning either no clouds or a tornado, and quirky events like overturned soap or a man searching pockets signaling changes in the weather. It also notes experiments by Prof A J Cook on pests using bi sulphide of carbon for cabbage and other crops.
An eminent citizen walks Griswold Street with an umbrella on a hot day. Bystanders mock the umbrella as useless, offering jibes about sun and rain, creditors, and “old umbrella” songs. He ends discouraged, using the shade to poke a singing boy.
The imported cabbage worm devastated cabbages, destroying about $500,000 worth in New York suburbs. The pest spread west with civilization, prompting methods to prevent moth eggs on cabbage plants. Newspaper wrapping, sackings, and nets were tried, but results varied. Professor C V Riley backs pyrethrum after long testing, finding it generally favorable for control.
A vivid critique of flirtation in English speaking societies, contrasting American and British norms. The piece argues American boldness, looser supervision, and open romantic exchanges exceed English restraint, touching on social mores, motherhood roles, and implications for manners and morals.
A New York Evening Post profile recalls Spotted Tail, a Sioux chief famed for faithfulness to his tribe, cautious diplomacy with whites, and a notable 1877 White House audience where he spoke sincerely to the President after others had spoken.
The Portland Transcript recalls the young poet John Greenleaf Whittier when he first saw his earliest published poem in print. While repairing a stone fence, a postman delivered a copy of the journal he had mailed weeks earlier, marking a pivotal moment in his literary career.
Tremblingly young Whittier opened the paper to find the verses at the top of the first column. He was so delighted and bewildered that he stood looking at it for a long time, and is sure he did not read a word. At length his uncle called him back to his senses by bidding him keep at work.
The Esquimaux are described as good natured but dirty and coarse. A baby in a canoe plays with blubber while snow falls. The piece mocks ethnology and trading shrewdness, notes mixed physical traits, and claims poor physical prowess compared to Anglo-Saxons.
A Scribner's Monthly piece argues money buys health under proper conditions. Overworked businessmen waste health and wealth, while true leaders delegate work, allow leisure, and rest. It cites Col. Scott and urges annual rest and shared labor to gain lasting health and greater earnings.
Four parts glue dissolve in water then heated to clear. 65 parts boiling water added with stirring. A separate starch paste mixed with cold water yields a milky fluid.
