The Ambitious Friend Ends In Disappointment
A shy student David witnesses Philip Leeds choose ambition over love collapsing Carrie Wall’s hopes. Carrie dies, Philip abandons Carrie, rises to fame then yields to pride and wealth. Years later the once generous youth is a hardened lawyer, while Carrie’s memory lingers as a moral counterpoint to his success.

Why the shelling of Charleston was discontinued
A Boston Journal reader from Morris Island relays details on the Charleston bombardment. The text explains that Creed fire shells misfired due to percussion orientation, causing failure to explode, delaying Charleston's doom. It notes Parrott guns and generals Gillmore and Lincoln ordered Greek fire shells along with sharpnell types, with technical observations on emplacement, fuzes, and outcomes.
