Gambling and legends in a California reminiscence
Caantes Groynett notes the shift from gambler personas to public disapproval in California since the 1849 era, with roulette and faro fading as law and opinion tighten. The piece also covers Malakoff Hill’s etymology and a column on the Wandering Jew legends, tracing myth and moral over time.

Bacchus and Beasts at Johannisberg Estate Tale
An ornate passage recalls Bacchic excess at the Johannisberg estate with a prince, a chateau, and a vine route to indulgence. The narrator imagines imperial dispatches, then falls into mud and reflects on how Bacchus becomes a beast. A second fragment discusses distrust as a social burden and a libel about women’s nature.
