A fragmentary 19th century letter pair reveals a tearful reconciliation amid a romance torn by public scandal. The second letter, labeled HERS, shows Edith inviting Tom to visit while a social clash unfolds, underscored by political upheaval and a sharp critique of Republican pressure and patronage. The piece blends personal passion with a polemical republication-era polemic on corruption in the Chandler era.
A Sixth District youth with a fair tenor serenades the maiden he loves under moonlight. He sings Darling I'm waiting for thee until a window opens and an older voice tells him Maria has gone to bed. The scene unfolds before the green award in front of the residence.
A California newspaper man chronicles a brother editor buying a male as a remarkable instance of self possession.

A fashion column surveys winter trends with bustles subsiding while overskirts and polonaises evolve. It highlights yokes on dresses, corset choices, and fabrics like damassee, brocatelle, and check twill, noting new color palettes and revived polonaise styles.
A Virginia guerrilla Mosby is accused of undue sway with the Grant administration. The piece argues Republicans rewarded rebel figures, ignored original Unionists, and installed Mosby allies like Longstreet and Herter in federal posts. It claims widespread corruption in appointments and praises Abraham Lincoln while condemning contemporary Republicans. The Cincinnati Enquirer is cited.
