Contagious Mental Madness and Paris Fire Damage
The piece discusses contagious mental alienation as a lens on social crime, critiques revenue theft by U.S. officials, and parcels Paris chaos into a broader 1871 context. It lists Paris buildings burned or saved, notes a New York World correspondent, and quotes a drunken incident at a Ku Klux Klan meeting with vivid but non-graphic details.
