The piece surveys heavy bread varieties, adulteration fears, and Grahamism in American kitchens, noting Gralan and old-fashioned loaves as preferable to sanitary reformer diets. It reports Parisian social reformers forming a Morning League, hints at meals, temperate banquets, and critiques on bread’s role in civilization. It then shifts to weather theories tied to locomotives and a discussion on rain, rail freight rate classifications, and a Tribune stance on direct presidential elections.
