Submission and temperance politics in Indiana history
The piece recalls 1860s Indiana party deals where Brown was dropped by temperance forces in exchange for Porter’s pledge to back temperance legislation. It argues the move cost Republicans the state, aided by Dudley and Governor Porter, and frames the subsequent defeat as a warning about submission principles. The author laments fading old schoolmasters and pen mending practices as relics of a bygone era.

Breath of Fire Power Reported by Paw Paw Youth
Dr L C Woodman of Paw Paw Michigan cites a local youth William Underwood aged 27 who allegedly emits fire from breath aided by hand movements. The subject reportedly lights and consumes objects with no matches, experiences extreme exhaustion after each act, and says the power began after inhaling a burning perfumed handkerchief.
