Vast array of 19th century notes on art, war, and society
A collage of global and domestic items details England coal reserves, a high Raphael sale price, naval moves in Central America, and jokes from Missouri politics. It covers Chinese bridge triumphs, Indian troops, a Langham Hotel fire extinguisher test, Oklahoma land talk, Gladstone on unity, Chinese school rights, suffrage, and the growing U S baseball scene with salary forecasts. The piece mixes curiosities, politics, and cultural milestones with local flair.

Testimony in Fish Ward Grant case reveals funds and contracts
New York March 28 testimony in the J D Fish Marine Bank case details Ward and Grant forming Grant Ward in 1880 with 100000 each. Ward sought profits via government contracts and oat futures while Fish lent money. Grant claims he was only a partner and not aware of wrongdoing, and a letter trail shows profits and a large monthly share payout. The deposition describes contract schemes, letters, and misgivings about profits and disclosure.

A Good Walking Gait for a Horse and More
A letter discusses humane horse training preferring a steady walking gait over trotting. It argues trotters spoil endurance and lead to vice, praising breakage before harness and a horse that walks longer distances. It notes a driver’s coal load example and contrasts trot versus walk efficiency. The piece also mentions a railroad car noise reduction method under construction for an English line and Paris Petit Journal figures with high earnings.
