Lager Beer Not Intoxicating Says Echoes From a Drunkard
An old fragment recounts a man claiming lager beer is not intoxicating after a night of heavy drinking. The narrator describes his illness, odd sensations, and a long reminiscence ending with May 19th 1780 and a dramatic “dark day” in New England. It includes observations on weather, bird behavior, and public figures debating the event. The piece also notes immigration wealth and Philadelphia oleomargarine production.

Calf Hole Sign Leads to Philosophical Mystery in Virginia
A tavern owner adjoins a Virginia town and creates a leather stand. He bores a hole in a door post and sticks a calf tail through it to lure attention. A spectator asks questions while seeking to learn how the calf passed the auger hole. The piece blends odd humor with brief social commentary and a political tally on local amendments.
