A quirky reminiscence from Pittsfield Maine notes the local economy leaning toward Christmas trees and gum exports with odd references to wormless dried pie and peculiar monograms. The author also mentions stone walls fencing farms and scarce agricultural wealth.
A veteran New York angler describes a golden trout in Whitney Creek Kansas, a secluded pool above a 150 foot waterfall. The fish shimmer with burnished gold and crimson spots, living untouched by other trout due to the sheer drop. Its beauty overshadows its flesh, which is no better than ordinary brook trout.
The article discusses the moral and practical risks of misquoting and altering cited lines. It cites Dean Stanley and various authors who show how memory-based quotation can distort originals while preserving sense. It warns readers to verify exact words and illustrates common misquotations from Milton, Wordsworth, Cowper, and others. It concludes that precise quoting elevates rhetoric and urges careful, accurate rendering in public speech.
An examination of President Cleveland's willingness to acknowledge and rectify errors in office.

It argues the country desires responsible leadership and dignified defeat of partisan excess.
The St. Louis Republican argues Republicans overstated a Southern revolt under a Democratic administration. Three Southern Democrats in the Cabinet show cautious, stable conduct, with no surge of disloyalty or office-seeking from the South. Southern patience and improved race relations are highlighted as proof of a peaceful, content South.
A political opinion piece arguing the Democratic party attracts energetic young men across states, praising democracy as life and reform. It contrasts youth vigor with a cynical view of Republicans, cites Virginia and federal rescue efforts, and ends with a London postal anecdote about labor and pensions.
The Washington Post editorial says Republicans in the Senate cannot support anger and obstruction as a policy. It warns Logan’s volatile rhetoric cannot be contained forever and urges restraint while offering leeway to unleash simmering volcanoes if necessary.
