The piece contrasts religious and secular views on war and memorials, arguing for honoring the living and aiding the bereaved rather than glorifying battle. It cites Pericles and Rev James Rea, critiques mixed religious sentiment, and urges reverence for the living while letting the dead rest. An abrupt ad note about job rooms and Shiloh’s Vitalizer concludes.

A Louisville Currier Journal excerpt recalls Anna Dickinson as a curious figure unable to drink alcohol after a staged experiment. The tale recounts her dressing in male attire to study intemperance, attempting to get drunk, a near-fatal misstep, and a doctor warning that one more glass could kill her. The anecdote underscores public scrutiny of Dickinson's character and her Hamlet prospects.
The Women's Silk Culture Association of Philadelphia promotes silk farming for women and children, citing a $15,000,000 domestic market and easy care. It reports a national competition with Strawbridge & Clothier premiums, a Garfield dress brocade woven in America, and plans to present the fabric to Mrs James A Garfield.
