The Haunted Ride to a Storm Wrapped Church
A Virginia legal man recounts a night journey home during a violent storm. In a church doorway he encounters a terrifying unseen presence. A stranger, later revealed as an escaped insane woman, clinging to him causes a frantic ride back to his house, shaken by fear and ultimately explained by the storm’s misdirection.

Armstronge gun's fame and a German Jenny Lind tale
The article extols Sir William Armstrong's breechloading gun as the era’s mightiest ordnance, noting ten years of work and a £20,000 offer for his patents. It compares it with Louis Napoleon’s similar cannon, cites distances and accuracy, then shifts to a Dickensian anecdote about Jenny Lind in a German town and a portly English observer, followed by Irish humor and a Brightons hotel bill dispute.
