A Humorous Bedtime Tale and Royal Gossip
A rambling anecdote recalls a party at a sister Libs home where a bashful narrator is trapped in a crowd of girls and misadventures end in a comic wedding spoof. The piece then shifts to London gossip about Queen Victoria's mourning, a Highlander named Brown, and a critique of royal pageantry. The text also covers the legend of the Blarney Stone and ends with brief notes on religious controversy in Salt Lake City.

Random Victorian miscellany on war, theatre, and society
A collage of late 19th century clippings describes naval shelling in the Thames and strategic strikes on St Pauls and the Bank of England, a lottery dream tale ending in a hasty marriage, a proposed million-coin exhibition, and a new London weekly Stranger in London in three languages. It notes humorous verses, a Halifax poisoning incident, elephant curiosity, a Detroit mansion sale, and brief remarks on Sherman and Logan with reflections on railroad collisions and a Fort Stevens report.
