Levett Hunt pays tribute in the N Evening Post to Custer and his 300 men as a fierce, doomed assault into a battery of rifles. The poem likens the doomed riders to the Light Brigade, praising Spartan resolve amid death and signaling a final, valiant charge led by Canter in command.
Mr. and Mrs. Greyson rent their seaside house to a widow Mrs. Wilcox whose sad tale and crape veil move Mr. Greyson to kindness. She stays through the summer with lavish hospitality then vanishes leaving debt, theft, and ruined furniture. A swindler hides behind mournful tears and the “widow’s” charity proves a boarding house scam.
The report covers union talks between the Primitive Methodist Church of Canada and the Methodist Church of Canada, plus education funding in Rhode Island and a donation of 10,000 dollars to the Presbyterian Foreign Missions. It notes Irish Presbyterian Assembly debating instrumental music, a guild proposal to empower lay members, London Anglican clerical unemployment, Scotland’s organ acceptance, and notes from the Maine Congregational Jubilee Conference on early statistics.
A St. Paul Pioneer Press summary recounts Reno, Custer, and Keogh actions at the Little Bighorn, detailing the river valley, Indian village, retreat lines, and the heroic last stand on the ridge. It cites Calhoun, Yates, Cooke, and Smith companies, Reno's assault, and Terry's official report.
A column of light verse and humorous sketches features jokes about Sitting Bull, a fortune teller, and daily life. It includes brisk vignettes on family, marriage, thrift, and the famous Mark Twain description of Huckleberry Finn, all with a Boston Globe flavor and playful punch.
