A Springfield sourced discussion debunks claims that Quincy will dodge 1873 state taxes due to lacking a state assessor. It notes no bond delay, confirms July interest paid, and predicts legislative action next winter to fix taxation confusion while addressing alleged municipal revenue faults. A separate Nature essay parodies solving Man or Monkey by domesticating apes to test Darwinian ideas.

The Pittsburg Dispatch notes Bengal's 13,400 torn by wild animals in six years and an estimated 10,000 peninsula deaths yearly. In 1869 a tigress halted traffic and claimed 127 victims.
