Echoes of a vanished stage dog and wandering showmen

The passage recalls a deceased dog named Lazarus who helped a performer in his late life, notes the “art of humming” in a border city, and shares anecdotes of former street figures. It mentions a widow with children, a child’s blunt reply about burning, and several characters linked to a storied past, including a Queen of the streets and two performers who left for Boston. It ends with reflections on old pioneers, the fading landmarks, and a Confederate note found on a fifty dollar bill.

Political ruin and earthquake tales from San Francisco

Correspondence from San Francisco dated November 6, 1865, details political intrigue around Charles James and Mr. Conness, calling him a traitor and predicting further misfortune. It also recounts the recent California earthquake shocks, public reaction, and property damage, with color about the burrower fraternity mourning a famed member named Bumviac and the master’s death.

Grant of Battery A 11th Vermont recounts a prison stockade at Andersonville and a spring of pure water after a long siege. The tale notes water that was previously foul, gained from a dry hill, and supplied 25 000 to 30 000 prisoners. Also includes a quip about A W and a pardoned rebel.

Opera visit in Chicago inspires odd Wisconsin humor

A Racine editor recounts his first Opera experience in Chicago. He recalls ticket lines, ornate theater, crowds with firearms visible, and a humorous misread of stage cues. The piece mirrors farce and local bravado while noting novelty of the opera trip.

No Harmony for Yankee Opera Inferno at Hist Theater

A reader recounts a chaotic colonial era style performance at Hist Theater. The troupe wears calico and velvet, with discordant singing and grotesque stunt acts. A fat woman and cat-eyed man provoke chaos, culminating in a staged murder and a senseless masquerade. The account condemns the show as trashy and insulting to American culture, urging readers to avoid such fare.

The Last Request of Henry Magruder

Henry Magruder faced execution on October 26 1803 with courage refusing to spare pleas from friends and court. In final moments he asked two trusted friends to wrap him in a winding sheet and shave his hair and ringlets, to be laid at rest with flowers and quiet repose beneath a spreading tree, his soul seeking peace with his Redeemer.
