A speaker recalls a tender night scene where a child disobeys and the parent consoles with a box of toys and a red stone. The poem, cited as Coventry Patmore in Church Standard, evokes parental care, loneliness, prayer, and the hope that a child will grow wise and repent.
An excerpt from Goss's Recollections of a Private recalls a Confederate remark about Stonewall Jackson and a calm Lee. A hungry Texas man among Magruder's troops sneaks into the general's table, only to be caught and depart with plates clean. The anecdote closes with the Texan's stubborn appetite and no manners. Also included are brief comic vignettes about operatic nerves and a pianist's humility, plus notes on Prussia’s geography teaching and a vaudeville style joke about card honesty.
A western patron, visiting New York, orders a rapid replacement for lost dentures, offering triple pay for 24 hour work. The dentist and assistant locate the missing teeth in a hotel pillowcase after a night of heavy drinking is suspected. The patron pays double after delivery, admitting possible excess wine the prior evening.
A New York World piece narrates a violent barber shop encounter with a gruff customer as the barber dispassionately shaves in silence. The scene escalates from taunts to a brutal scalp grip while the customer quips about grandmothers and sisters. The article shifts to a mechanical note on water wheels and turbine efficiency.
A Brooklyn Eagle snippet notes a fashion scene inquiry about renting bloomers, a pun on repairs, and a quick departure. It recalls Russia’s 1402 and 1460 Baltic freezes allowing Danish riders, and mentions a landlord raising rent due to bulging walls making a house seem larger. It also cites immigration from France totaling just over 118,000.
A critic rails at The Outlook for decrying cheap journalism while leeching on daily papers for material. The piece defends newspapers as the people's daily food and mocks magazine editorials and expensive periodicals.
A long, rambling note recalls sensational Oklahoma gold reports around Boggy and Turkey creeks near Arapahoe. It warns most diggers will fail, only a few staying to profit while towns like Golden rise and decline, then predict Canada’s Alaska boundary dispute looms with potential U S England tension. It also cites German medal customs for long-serving workers, noting some bosses deserve no praise.
The early frosts in Michigan and Ohio killed much of the peach crop there, but nationwide the average yield for this fruit will be very large, comparable to 1893. This abundance is welcomed as fruit is healthful, palatable, and affordable, giving poorer people a better chance at nutrition.
The article extols a spring tonic to thoroughly clear winter accumulations from the blood and prevent spring fever. It likens bodily cleansing to spring cleaning and urges anticipatory cleansing of the system as the season changes. It promises an easy, comfortable method to put the body in order.
