James Buchanan and the peril of states rights in history
The piece discusses James Buchanan as a cautious statesman, leaning to States' Rights while avoiding treasonary acts, and contends his hesitancy harmed the Union. It contrasts final words misgivings with broader judgments, and reflects on how party loyalty shaped his legacy amid era crises. It also notes Democratic nomination news and global notices on cholera, travel, and culture.

Beelike lore and a child prodigy noted in 1860s columns
The piece blends a poetic description of bees and their nests with a sensational account of a two year eight month old girl named Sopha Gantz born in Cincinnati and described as maturing into a sixteen year old female, examined by Rush Medical College faculty. It closes with moral reflections on music and faith, and a humorous quip about a gossiping editor being told to remember Lot’s wife.

Nervous lore and daily life in a late 19th century column
A fragmented column on nerves, health habits and etiquette discusses why some people seem driven by nerves while others dismiss them. It cites Matthew Browne’s Apology for the Nerves, Dr Turner’s Neuralgia Pill, and examples of famous figures, then shifts to dental care advice, manners, and light anecdotes about social life and daily routines.
