Curious Odd Fellows Closet Secrets Stir Woodlitown
A lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in Woodlitown drafts Mrs. K to clean a mysterious closet said to guard secrets. A Guardian recalls Mason lore and warns against peeking, but the lady investigates and chaos erupts as tubs and brushes spill down stairs drawing a crowd. The tale blends ritual mystery with a comic clash over clandestine rites.

Thousand Dollar Darkey and Wedding Ring Folklore
A didactic miscellany of 19th century fragments discusses the insult of calling a senator a thousand dollar darkey, praises Revels as a symbol of Union victory, and explodes myths about the wedding ring finger with references to Browne Pollox and 1788 British Apollo, interwoven with notes on cotton prices and state governors.
