A London Times correspondent describes native Calabar and neighboring tribes as committing unparalleled atrocities. Calabar canoes attacked a village, killing eight and drowning four captives, who were displayed as acts of barbarity. Europeans sought to verify claims and met horrific scenes of cooked limbs and severed heads.

General Garfield spoke at Arlington about fifteen thousand graves as a poem of loss. A joke about wooden feet illustrates credulity, and a remark urges temperate diets. the Schuyler Colfax family note appears.
