The Hindu Fakir Chibb-Chondor Arouses Fearful Wonder
An account describes meeting the Hindu fakir Chibb-Chondor in Manwell's case. Serpents coil about him, he paralyzes onlookers with will and magnetic influence, and he can move objects and extinguish lights without leaving his seat. The narrative warns of occult powers claimed by Brahmins and Indian mystics.

US Navy Observatory Clock Sets National Time
In Washington, a plain tall clock at the Navy Observatory powers national time. It remains physically secure against disturbances and links by galvanic battery to Western Union wires, signaling at noon with a ball drop seen nationwide. The clock maintains about 43% of a second per day and ensures uniform time across railroads and steamboats. A second section recounts Proctor Knott’s story, detailing his 1860 Missouri election as Attorney General and a Civil War episode involving Colonel Bornstein.
