Global miscellany reflects world, domestic affairs, and notable names
A sweeping 1890s clip mixes politics in England and the United States with industry, finance, and society notes. Topics include tariff and labor trends, notable deaths, misrules of law, and figures like Depew, Vanderbilt, Rothschild, and Clay, interwoven with global commerce and technology.
The Professor of Humps and a Boyish Quest for Worth
A twelve year old boy visits a phrenologist to discover his talents. The expert declares the boy should be a farmer and urges more exercise. The tale carries a humorous clash of pretension and the boy’s jokey defiance. In another incident a Brooklyn sportsman catches trout by netting them in improvised trousers near Sullivan County, an unsportsmanlike but bold fishing shortcut.

An aged woman known as old Nance, reputed as a voodoo witch doctress among local Black residents, attracts attention by allegedly swallowing several small snakes. A Louisiana correspondent says snakes emerge from her mouth during a tapping whistle, coil about her neck, and vanish again. Experts doubt the act, while others suspect a trick, with no consensus.

Austin Corbin’s New Hampshire game park grows wildlife
The Corbin estate in New Hampshire spans twenty eight thousand acres where buffalo and elk thrive in a non captive setting. Buffalo numbers rise with eight cows in calf and two calves born among twenty two initial herd members. Moose and other species show steady increases as hedge planting shields the area. The project aims for scientific study rather than hunting and draws interest from sportsmen and naturalists as success in New Hampshire awaits broader proof.
