Fragmented eclectic notes on poetry and curiosities
A collage of literary opinions and odd anecdotes. It cites Longfellow and Whitman sales dynamics, jokes about doctors and patients, a London anecdote on a cobbler, a striking river in Spain, a tragedy on a Cirque float girl, and a court scene involving a Chinese interpreter and chicken oath, all framed as era miscellany.

Eighteen women and girls also on stilts started 15 minutes later from Bordeaux to Corans, a 50 mile round trip, in a bid to complete the day.
