Ancient English coinage and curious tales from a muddled page
A jumble discusses Baglieri coinage and English gold silver and copper issues with references to early portraiture and suversigna coins. It shifts to notes on boarding houses, rheumatic ailments seen in Corsicana Texas, an Irish candidate quip before London College exam jokes, and ends with a stray item about Red Star Cough and a Chicago type foundry.

Earthquake Terrors Reveal Charleston War Between Shocks
Captain Dawson of the Charleston News and Courier describes the first quake as a rising roar like a storm, then swaying and waves of destruction. He recalls thirty tons of brick collapsing before his eyes and the News and Courier building shaken by a massive quake. He notes oscillating statuary, a water tank emptied and refilled, and the eerie detonation preceding each roar. A second article section discusses consumption cures and a Warner remedy, with Dr. Clark advocating a kidney and liver acid theory and praising Warner’s safe cure as effective.
