The Apprentice James Wallace Pursues Knowledge Rising From Hard Work
In a Baltimore tale, James Wallace, a poor blind-maker apprentice, trades a craftsman's life for study. He borrows books, buys a dictionary, and paints blinds to fund learning while self educating in astronomy, geometry, and law. His diligence leads to a successful legal career and eventual judgeship, contrasted with Harman Lee's slower rise.

Gigantic Oregon Pines Impress Visitor From the East
A National Intelligencer writer describes Oregon pines from Fort George to Vancouver as massive and majestic. He notes 200 to 300 foot Douglas firs with huge circumferences, cones 12 to 15 inches long, and a landscape of alluvial meadows and pine forests along the river with plains and lakes behind. Timber species are varied and abundant, though hickory or walnut are absent. The sycamore in the West also reaches great girth, unmatched in the Ohio Valley.
