A dated Register column argues Grant was not a tanner and defends a circus as a plebeian but popular amusement. It cites a Bank of England governor denying impending financial disasters and reports oddly on a Lincoln Nebraska teen marriage and a 47 year old courting a 14 year old, with crude humor.
The Georgia governor signs a bill barring liquor sales within three miles of churches or schools except in incorporated cities. The measure aims to shut down many illicit crossroads taverns and reflects potential lessons for other states. A Minnesotan tale of a corner lot flooded twenty feet reveals a fishing joke about bass and suckers.
The piece argues that births and deaths invite falsehoods in notices and obituaries, noting that parents rarely welcome another child and that writers of baby notices and obituaries face similar pressures to mold reality. It emphasizes the difficulty of presenting truthful sentiment in such notices.
A columnist notes common words fail to carry precise meaning, cites the Trinity colt record, and mocks Tolstoi readers and Moscow disease fears.

A discussion notes that despite many women studying music, few are recognized as great piano players or composers, while men authored most works.

Unseasonable rains in the San Bernardino Mountains now tie to the expanding Salton Lake in the Colorado Desert.

The evolving conditions promise to affect nearby areas that have long suffered from deficient rainfall.
Tut Charleston is sent to China with two vessels, intended for policing duties. The note argues rebellion talk in China is mistaken, claiming Pekin’s administration is strong.

The article reports allegations that a renowned Boston grocer sold French peas tainted with copper salt to deepen color. It notes that poison scares largely stem from improper storage after opening, with swelling can tops as an early fermentation sign.
The article warns that China in ferment could trigger deadly violence against foreigners, with massacres already starting. It cautions that masses may murder outsiders during civil disorder, despite leaders seeking vengeance or protection from governments. It concludes that outsiders may find wealth fragile and hard to retain amid upheaval.

A historical essay argues that great men never leave lasting successors, illustrating through figures like Washington, Lincoln, and Sumner. It contrasts praise and critique across eras, then shifts to discuss cotton and wheat trusts, their market control aims, feasibility, and potential risks to producers and prices. It also covers therapeutic liquid soap by Laidemann, its preparation, and claimed benefits, plus a note on perjury and self-interest in courts.
