Wanderings of Diamond and a chain of odd news
A curious tale of a $100 diamond’s wanderings begins with a box marked Value $100 given to a boy to mail. The boy mislaid the box in a mail box, prompting searches by mail clerks and post office staff, ending with a Providence address and a stampless package marked for postage due. A Georgia negro asks for a Governor’s job in exchange for boot polishing at the Capitol, proposing $4 a day. A humor piece on gold opportunities leads to a sketch about marriage, and a note on the Chinese invitation cadence ends with an explanation of three invitations per guest for grand parties.
