A wag shared a story of General Lee dining at six sharp in a rigid military lunchroom. The tale shows Lee at the head, Chilton at the foot, red tape rules, and the guest serves and is served with orders issued by Lee and executed by Chilton, a farcical routine that amused Southern papers.
Ex Governor Seymour enjoys country life on a central New York farm near Utica. His home mirrors an older Arlington Heights residence in style yet is larger and well preserved.

A London report notes a discovery that aluminum can be used for watch hair springs. Herr Lange of Saxony improves elasticity by a plane treatment after drawing and rolling, then grinding to size.

A Wisconsin Democrat Fred Horn is described as converted to Crantism after a Republican convention remark.
