Various Fragments On Punishment And Daily Life
A collection of short items notes that Quakers have not committed murders as a class, a Michigan City family faced extreme poverty, a Connecticut justice of the peace balked at a point, and a Lynn Indiana hunting accident. Other items discuss Michigan spiritualists, lamp chimneys, New York rail traffic, a Pueblo Salt Lake railroad right of way anecdote, a London Savage Club joke, and dips in diphtheria history. Also remarks on women writing in laps, and a humorous Astor House scene with Mike and Hiram debating seven-year ideas.
