Dupicate wedding presents reshape New York silver trade
In New York a safe-deposit manager notes fewer large silver hoards, more distributed holdings, and rising use of a “duplicate wedding presents” firm started in 1874. The firm buys and relists odd or surplus silver for resale at about half original cost, including antique pieces, while handling exchanges and odd consignments from across the country.

How They Ride Horses in Asia
A Saturday Review excerpt contrasts Persian horsemanship with English travelers. It recalls an English naval officer ashore at Abushebor mounted on a spirited horse, provoking amusement among Persians and a fellow Englishman who tries to reassure him.
