Definition of a gentleman in diverse social roles
A long excerpt surveys what constitutes a gentleman across settings from tavern keepers to duellists, chorus men to fox hunters. It contrasts real manners with vanity, noting behavior with hosts, servants, lovers, and the elderly, and includes satirical slang and a mock Johnsonian digression.

Strange memoir of a perilous crossing and Metternich lore
A narrator recalls a dangerous ford crossing with a cow in a river and a humorous escape aided by improvised tricks. The piece shifts to a satirical anecdote about Metternich’s hidden eye crafted with enamel, then muses on a flawed government building project and political cartoons in Washington. It ends with Alabama cotton prospects and Nashville grain notes.
