West Country Tales and Turkish Fashions in 19th Century Life
A fragmented travel narrative contrasts a rambling tale of a love-struck suitor in the West Country with vivid observations of Turkish high society. The piece notes Madame Auli and other elegant ladies, their jewelry and dress, and a contrast between traditional Turkic attire and European fabrics. A Baltimore Sun Special recounts an Alabama citizen's Washington visit and Mr. Tilden's reply to a suggested post-election course, describing the political mood and 1880 Democratic rise.
