A harsh verse laments violence by so called peaceable agents in tribal regions. It references Indian life under threat at doors and borders, urging vigilance against killings aided by government forces. The poem contrasts peaceful rhetoric with deadly consequences and calls out "peaceable" as a veneer.
A mosaic of quips and mini stories touches on professions, social roles, and mischief. Jokes about crockery dealers and cabinetmakers contrast tea-sets with settees while reflections on clocks, circles, and bigotry mingle with anecdotes from Leavenworth, Philadelphia, and North Platte.
A father counsels his son Bob in poker terms about staying bold yet prudent, guarding against weak hands, and avoiding deceit. The tale shifts to Turkish finances, Indian agents, Herzegovinian insurrection, and a political jab at abolishing the color line, ending with a wry Liverpool ad about a son‑in‑law role.
The note argues NatHANIEL WHEELER may become United States Senator from Connecticut as Barnum's successor. It critiques Sidney Telegraph and Nebraskian office services, praising local printers and shops, asserting home paper support benefits, and mentions an unpaid account of $18.15 in court.
Moody insists the Chicago church not be dedicated until about $20,000 in unpaid bills is raised. A kickoff Sunday raised $12,857 toward the debt, with hope that the remainder will come soon so Moody can begin his work taming the local youth.
A fashionable tailor in the East has opened a business as a charity dispenser and sits in a church front pew while poor young men struggle to afford cigars and essentials. The piece critiques his ostentation contrasted with the youths’ scant subsistence.
The piece notes mixed views on gambling in sports. Gen Coombs of Kentucky congratulates his son for winning a horse race and praises him as a good boy who never gambles swears drinks or plays baseball. The Mulligan Guard is said to be carrying out harsh actions, with a question about its firing origin.
The item claims Buffalo Bill Cody killed a Young County Sheriff but is dismissed as false since he is regarded as a peaceful Nebraskan. Reports of Gen Crook’s Big Horn expedition departing Ft Fetterman with 200 Crow scouts and 2,000 men surface, while Sioux and Arapaho detachments join Sitting Bull. The piece questions peaceable status amid frontier violence and vigilante fears.
A mixed bag of short quips and anecdotes. Charles Francis Adams plans to spread the American Eagle in New York on Independence Day. Mrs Partington quotes about hogs. A hotel bellboy jokes about a saloon bar. A wedding scene features a humorous vows reply. A Bangor, Maine tale reports gold and banknotes found in a poor woman’s trunk. A clergyman endures scoffing youths with a farewell remark. A prison chaplain adds a final quip.
