Treating the Girls and a City Scene at Burlington
A crowded Burlington scene unfolds as a deaf man cannot pay and the cashier presses for change amid jeers from bystanders including three giggling girls. The piece shifts to a Bowles church anecdote in Springfield and then to notes on Javanese translators grappling with European terms for words like dynamite and the Washington Movement.

Bank Infidelity and Oddities From a Patchwork Page
A rambling Virginia Chronicle tale recalls a revivalist Tom who doubts biblical miracles and a landlord’s hotel waiter with priceless art, alongside stray tips from Professor Wilder on accident care. The column weaves humor, local quips, and minor anecdotes about quirky figures and household remedies.
Grant Exercising More Arbitrary Power Than European Kings
In Horace White’s Paris Letter from the Chicago Tribune the writer argues America is not uniquely the land of the free. He surveys Europe’s changes after 1848 noting Hungary’s free parliament, Italian and German unification, and waning papal power. He concludes the U.S. president may wield more personal power than any European sovereign except possibly the Russian czar.
