A fragment from a 19th century issue recounts a Texas cattleman famed for branding and living off the plains with a large family, gold and silver hoards, and violent raiders. It moves to curiosities about knife swallowing by John Cummings, a Parisian medical note on hair growth in two Russians, and notes on birdsong, dreams, and a New Hampshire joke about farmhands.
