Seed vitality varies with harvest and storage methods
The article surveys seed vitality across crops noting European import weakness versus American seed, air tight storage extending germination life, and species ranges from cabbage and turnip lasting up to seven years to pepper, eggplant, and lettuce with shorter viability. It also includes diverse items on visions of heaven, Ely's Cream Balm, a deadly rail accident, and a joke about a Scottish bricklayer and a child’s prayer.

A Civil War Snow Ball Battle Retold in Reminiscence
A Texan friend of the Spectator recalls a winter 1868 64 snowball battle near Orange Court House during the Civil War era. Confederate soldiers from 5th Virginia and 10th Virginia clash with Rodes Division, a laughing yet lively melee, with snow bruises and a captured flag, ending with a lull in casualties. Also notes about Gibson illustrated articles on The Weaker Sex Under the Microscope and a telegram joke about twins arriving by mail.
