New York Sun and Strange Sea Tale From London Papers
A London Times Friday or Saturday column reprints a private Sheffield letter about the ship Glance from London. It reports a mad crewman aboard a previous vessel who was shot after threatening others with a chisel and ropes. The item also notes a New York Sun claim of a new American League movement and a rough domestic squabble tale with a Bengal tiger remark. Then comes a Federal Post Office card redesign update with details on design, issuance, and rising card sales. The miscellany closes with a Dunant anecdote about autographs and a Wellington letter about a toad and school, told as a curious transcript.
