A critical lecture denounces quackery as indolent ambition and sham in many trades. It urges thorough culture, single trades, and sustained labor, warning against multi profession pretenders. Also notes New York legal interest rate change and Democratic jests amid a buoyant banking sector.
The Harrisburg gathering approved a platform favoring gold and silver currency with coinable paper, denounced corporate subsidies, and attacked Republican misrule. Daniel O Barr of Allegheny was acclaimed as State Treasurer candidate, with Coffroth and the State Central Committee to be appointed.
A reflective piece threads memories of old romance and rural life with mentions of a deacon couple, farm chores, and a midnights death. It also shifts to lingering Civil War era politics, noting Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, and Stanton, and critiquing Reconstruction and party shifts amid public discourse.
The account describes Fulton of Garden City capturing large numbers of wild horses along the Canadian river in Kansas during 1877 and 1878. It notes continuous pursuit methods, sizes of the catches near String Lakes in Scott county, and Arapahoe county, plus the claim these horses are an American breed. It mentions challenges like lack of food, and a stray note about Mrs Agnes Jenks and a joke about the Treasury job.
In Judge Knox's courtroom an elderly pioneer recounts his years of mining and moonlighting on Muckallamy Hill in 1860s times. He describes hauling up to 1,851 pounds of gold dust and dusting rival Jenkins Co. with audacious stagecoach profits before the crowd breaks into laughter.
A Iowa Republican letter rails at Black voters, arguing the freedman is impractical as a political force. It claims the nigger needs protection and bayonets to vote Republican, mocks vitality and loyalty, and calls for disfranchisement or forced voting as Stalwarts return to power in 1880. The piece presents harsh racist rhetoric of the era.
The subject, Ilo, a Swedish born iron moulder in a Norwalk foundry, works from four in the morning to seven at night without breaks. He carries soup and black bread in a pail, drinks soup by tilting it from his chair, and produces about two hundred moulds daily. He shows little social interest, keeps to himself, and seems driven by a past calamity or a personal goal.
An old newspaper fragment touts Green's August Flower as a cure for dyspepsia and liver complaints claiming three doses prove its effect. It notes sample bottles for 10 cents and urges trial, amid other political commentary and railroad news in the same clipping.
