The distinguished Russian General Prince Gortechakoff is reported to be rapidly failing in health due to gout and old age.

A humorous survey of political jests during the campaign. Observers in Kansas, New York, Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, and Iowa joke about Greeley and Grant, acclamations, and satirical ballots. The piece notes poems, songs, and invitations to Greeley, ending with a Shakespearean line about mirth in politics.
