An article warns that cold weather poses serious health risks, urging proper nourishment and clothing to maintain body heat. It cites Dr Ruswell on temperature and mortality, advises mustard plasters for chills, and asserts a bedroom fire is cheaper than a doctor. It recounts stock market notes and a dramatic Giants tale involving Blondin at a precipice.
A fragmentary reminiscence recounts Samuel Clemons known as Mark Twain as a young compositor in a Crimean era printing shop. It recalls his lazy humor, a notorious telegraph era prank, and his later rise to fame. The piece also touches Heine and a stark Paris uprising mood.
A brash pastiche recounts Mary Maplet and Edward Chase’s stormy Norwich marriage. After poverty and alleged cruelty, she secures a divorce and remarries, while sensational gossip uplifts her exploits and moral ambiguity. A separate note reports Dana Hyde, twelve, found dead from hanging, amid school avoidance and dime novels. An ink recipe offering erasure-proof writing appears in the final item.
