A fragmented quartet of lines from the New York Sun laments loss and death with repeated references to Somebody and a river’s calm return. The piece evokes a somber mood, portraying joy and sorrow as a life ends and a spirit ascends to God.
A News reporter follows a wandering Gypsy caravan moving along the Harper’s Ferry road. He meets a patriarchal family camp in a wooded hillside near Jefferson, learns their rough history, language, trade, and persecution, and notes a queen in Baltimore while describing daily life and crafts. The piece contrasts Gypsies with Jews and touches on potato history in a concluding dietary note.
A somber rural notice warns of three dangers to children in a sickly season. Colds and coughs, plus croap, are blamed for infant illness and distress. A nurse named Dr. B Cough Syrop is cited regarding advice for protecting the little ones.
