New York as the looming battle ground in 1876
In Washington gossip, New York is cast as the pivotal arena for the 1876 race with claims that the Custom House Navy Yard Post Office and Internal Revenue service in New York would be marshaled to aid the Republican nominee. The piece also rails at leaking executive session details and cites a satirical fiction about reporters pressuring Senators. It mentions Hon. Wm H Barnum and colored Senator Bruce amid wider criticisms of political corruption and surveillance.

A Wonderful Revival Across Pacific Islands in 1874
An excerpt from Steven's History of Methodism recounts a 1874 revival that began in Yavan and spread through the Haibia and Tonga groups. Thousands were moved to tears, with 1,000 souls convicted on July 27, and 2,262 conversions in six weeks. Missionaries reported daily prayer meetings and a sweeping reform of manners including monogamy and Sabbath observance.

Revival brings 2000 converts in two weeks and satire on printers
A revival scene reports over two thousand converts in a fortnight as prisoners and sinners find mercy at the feet of Jesus. The piece notes universal distress across ages and ranks, four services held, and ongoing belief of widespread peace. A comic index lampoons printers and presses with jokes about “bank,” “impressions,” and “setting” while critiquing the trade in a Baltimore Gazette fragment.

A Lucid Explanation About Squealed Peached and Plowed
A St Louis merchant’s wife asks what squealed means after reading whisky fraud reports. The husband explains with a chain of slang like peached on them and given away, saying a collaborator has turned on his pals. She pretends understanding to avoid appearing ignorant.

Hopelessly Mixed Family Matrimony Riddle
A humorous explanation shows how tangled kinship lines become when marriages cross generations. A man marries a widow with a grown daughter and complications unfold as his relatives intermarry, creating a chain where his wife stands as grandmother and grandfather at once. The piece uses a burlesque example to illustrate the absurdity of sequential unions and family roles.

Killed by a Mouse in London Hospital
London letters recount a bizarre tale of a man dying after a mouse allegedly gnawed through his chest and throat while trapped in spirit. The report notes the mouse’s unusual airless endurance and the strangest death some recall. It also recalls a drunken weaver quip to Dean Swift about being “spinning out.”
