Chemical theory of malaria outlined by Vaughn
Correspondence from Newport Kentucky dated September 20, 1874 recounts Professor Vaughn of the British Scientific Association presenting a chemical view of malaria. He links water and volatile oils to illness, explains endosmosis and nerve blockage as fever mechanisms, and notes miasmas travel via river currents and air flow across the planet. He warns of remittent fevers from fatty matter dissolution and resin buildup. J.

Beau Wickman and the Best Dinner Prank
A playful tale details Beau Wickman entering Guy's restaurant, demanding the best meal. A servant presents a bill, which Beau refuses to pay, claiming he never pays. The proprietor forgives the trick and offers to pay Beau to repeat it on a rival, while Beau credits Guy for the sting. The anecdote trails into a quip about actors and landlords and ends with a violent note about a Delaware husband.
