A Charlottesville Virginia Chronicle item recounts a celebrity romance sketch where Isabel, a moonlit meeting, a beggar, a kiss, and a hidden ring lead to a fatal later twist. The tale mirrors Bulwer style with sorrow and irony.
A Virginia reminiscence recounts Mark Kaller of Augusta County who left the country long ago and married twice for odd sums. The second marriage involved a $5 purchase and a red flannel suit as payment to an agent, not to the wife, who was fond of drink. The couple lived together for years until a fatal roadside fire claimed the wife, a sight witnessed by two passing horsemen. The column also shares a local anecdote about a Tremont House visitor who misunderstand a ten cent drink, paying with a $1 bill of Ohio money and learning a humorous lesson about stump-tail currency.
