Roger Cunningham narrates his nephew Jimmy’s charm and failings. Jimmy’s spree with alcohol, a reform effort, and a dangerous rescue near Randolph station reveal the moral costs of mercy versus tough love and the costs of helping a vulnerable addict.
In a tense account from a hospital scene, Jimmy endures a crash and breathes through shock magistrate Reisling and a devoted attendant. He recovers, vows resilience, and, though scarred, remains alive and pursuing business with Ralph.
A long Edinburgh style report covers debates around Archdeacon Gore and the see of Rochester. It notes his controversy with Gladstone era politics, his education at Christ Church and Oriel, and family ties to Leeds clothiers. The piece mentions Hawarden letters and a gala in which social snobbery over rhubarb tarts is hilariously observed.
The Empress Eugenie preferred occasional visits to the De Tascher family, with tea and later imperial business discussions. The Duc de Tascher, troubled by etiquette and rheumatic gout, would drift to the next room for brief relief, while attendants noted late-night departures and the Empress’s continued reticence about bedtime. A separate remark on Felix Paues and a satire about sumptuary law and white spats follows, then a humorous Marblehead anecdote about Mr Lampre.
The article suggests a near annexation plan uniting Minneapolis and St Paul into a consolidated city. It argues the state capitol could remain within Paul’s limits yet be central to both, predicting a population of 350,000 by 1900 and over a million soon after, attracting population and business to the region.

Rain and illness, a noted change in his letters, and a relaxed chase enabled the Allies to trap Vandamme at Kuim on August 30, with Napoleon’s forces retreating.
The tale recalls Wilbur F Storey, Chicago editor, aging and frail on a sea voyage. His outburst over engine noise and his stubborn stance on a $1040 news purchase reveal the old editor’s fierce independence and blunt command of his paper.
