Bem and the Turkish turn in a Peter the Great era tale
The obituary of Bem sketches a Polish general who fought Napoleon, ally to Grand Duke Constantine, later anti-Russia and anti-Austrian in 1848 Vienna, then a wanderer. It notes his ten month campaign in Hungary, his injuries, and his eventual faded end. The piece then shifts to a Strand club anniversary with notable guests and displays, and ends with a New York journal report on galvanism testing willpower.
