A fragmentary vaudeville exchange references a hired girl and a married man amid stage banter. The dialogue hints at humor and marital tension, ending with a cue for a pathetic ballad titled Peroxide Turns the Marcel Wave to Gold.

Accounts state that western lands were ceded by North Carolina in 1784, provoking East Tennessee residents to form a protest initiative called Franklin or Frankland.

In the 1844 presidential campaign Whig newspapers published a deprecatory parody aimed at James K. Polk under the caption Baron Roorback's Tour Through the Western and Southern States. The statement was debunked easily and caused little lasting harm, though the coinage of roort back entered American political parlance as a swift campaign response.
At a Newis board of trade banquet, Civil War veterans recall a night attack led by Colonel Phillips of the Ninth Virginia. The moment centers on a lone voice singing Jesus Lovely Soul as orders to fire are issued, a memory shared by a Federal veteran who was the singer and recalls Bermuda and the lines of 1864.
Rossini's body lay in Pere Lachaise for years before Florence sought transfer to the Church of the Holy Cross. Consent was granted by Florence and the widow Olympia, but she would only allow translation if she could be buried beside him.
