A collage of quotes and remarks on President Cleveland, Louis Riel, and various public affairs. It mocks newspapers and political figures, notes Ohio tree planting, and wittily comments on British railway baggage checks, Canadian and American politics, and Harper's Magazine pieces. The tone is breezy, opinionated, and era-specific.
An onlookers quip from a San Francisco Puat recounts a pretend battle at the Presidio. A lone observer recalls being surrounded by cavalry as pistols flashed and voices cried a brave defiance while he stood and screamed rather than ran.
Two Austin gentlemen, Colonel Yerger and Sam Bass, discuss animal intelligence. Yerger favors the horse, while Bass asserts the rat is the shrewdest creature, noting its discrimination and a moral fable about nibbling matches leading to insured losses.
A Hartford Times correspondent tours Florida swamps along the St John’s River noting floating water lettuce beds, moss and mistletoe on living trees, and a vast spectrum of colors from maples and sweet gums. He describes cypress growth, air plants, and wildlife such as alligators, herons, and water turkeys, with reflections on seasonal changes and hunting pressures.
In Pendleton County Kentucky near midway between Doemossville and Knoxville an old gentleman named Stith possesses a remarkable pane of glass lighting a rainbow image. The pane's color shifted from amber to full rainbow hues after a damp warm time and a nearby fire, with blinds closed during exposure. The event, described by Cincinnati Enquirer, remains unexplained and exceptionally rare.
