Fragmented Society Notes Include Prices and Pitiful Drinkers
The column mixes a fragmentary slice of life with prices for water and apples, a drunken party scene, a moral remark on a wife’s role, and a theater gossip note. It cites Rev J M Buckley praising the Book of Job as grand drama, and hints at a London Times claim that New York Democrats may send Nelse Seymour to the Senate, all reflecting public amusements and moral tones of the era.
