Buffer’s bold dance ends with ruinous hat scene in Bayou tale
At Donaldsonville Louisiana I wait for the Natchez packet and overhear a saga of Buffer courting a widow. Buffer disrupts a sugar-house dance by smashing a hat and winning the widow’s favor, while rivals hear of plantations and sugar output. The excerpt blends river town chatter with a cottage plant column on vines and climbers for rural homes.

Trellis Ideas for Climbers with Hardy Grape Varieties
The piece praises combining utility with beauty by growing grape and hop vines. It highlights Catawba Isabella and Clinton as hardy, productive choices with light foliage. The hop is praised as rustic and ornamental, suitable for trellises, with a suggestion to place climber supports a foot from exterior walls for house painting needs.

British Expansion and Dalhousie’s Annexations in India
A critical shows Lord Dalhousie’s eight year rule expanded British India by annexing Punjaub Berar Pegu Sattara Jhansi and Oude totaling over 200000 square miles and about 17 million people. The piece denounces these conquests as abusive and questions justifications for deposing rulers and plundering kingdoms. It notes expected revenue gains and condemns hypocrisy in Anglo American rhetoric.
