A scattered collection of brief curiosities and misprints from a late 19th century issue. Notes on peacocks in Georgia, a 11‑foot panther kill near Shingletown California, an immigrant couple from Peru, 19000 red snapper boats at Pensacola, odd weather in Vermont, and various social and local color items across the United States.

The paper covers economics, horticulture, art, student life, a peculiar Portland beer-recovery scheme, a lavish autumn supper in Philadelphia, a Rochester surgical operation, and a Boston artist’s hardships, all in brisk clipped prose with many named places and people.
