A Seville merchant commissions Murillo for a gypsy girl but drives up the price through her guardians. Murillo exposes the coercive bargain, arranges a wedding between the couple for the higher bid, and sells the portrait after the trick to profit, while the merchant flees.
A humorous essay on choosing husbands likens it to distinguishing toadstools from mushrooms by eating. It argues many single men reveal flaws after marriage, ranging from boredom to violence, while few possess the quiet virtues that keep a home happy.
A retrospective recounts six decades of horse daring feats. John Kilroy leapt a twenty foot Galway bridge at tide on Moll but the bet was forfeited for £200. Earle of Athenry rode a fifty foot drop over Athlone to the Shannon and landed safely. John Dennis cleared Rab as Neigh with five five foot walls. In Waterford the Marquis of Waterford rode blueskier up the Waterford Hotel steps. A reporter recalls a quarrelsome youth and a misfired insult over a sister in the ensuing melee.
Government figures show duties on tea in 1870 71 and 72 ranged 15 to 25 cents per pound with annual revenue from 3 000 009 to 10 060 009. From 1873 to 1878 imports were duty free and would have yielded 8 to 16 million yearly under former rates. Coffee 1870 72 valued 10 to 60 cents per pound with duties 3 to 5 cents and 5 550 000 to 12 500 000 annually. 1873 to 1879 duty free would have produced 3 500 000 to 12 000 000. Overall the loss was about 22 million yearly and prices rose instead of falling.

A lone 45 year old woman with a firm resolve and a satchel asserts control at Union Depot. She demands a ticket to Jackson, refuses delays, and directs staff as she moves to the waiting room and onto the train, challenging crowding and clarifying her travel plans.
