Temperance anecdote yields farce over drunken sons

A temperance meeting turns into a comic scene as Bill Myers deflects laughter when asked about his drunken sons. Mr Hunt taunts the old man by calling out each failing son riding a mare, prompting a chorus of roars before the old man pleads to stop. The crowd settles as Hunt secures the spotlight.

Ladies Dress Debate Sparks Overthrow of Sex Distinctions

A Brussels pamphlet by Miss H. M. Webber argues for male attire for single women and later for marriageable women, suggesting dresses be identical for genders until marriage. The piece notes the idea would separate marriageable women from widows, and jokes it might amuse bachelors while ignoring other social norms.
