A mock newspaper wedding feature shows a police reporter misnaming dress details as editors correct him. The prank piece covers Mrs. Isaac Belding and bridesmaid Jennie Smith with a parade of fabric terms and a later note on a lavish supper and dancing.
A critical look at M de Lesseps plan to flood the Sahara by channeling water from the Mediterranean. The piece surveys physical feasibility, planetary equilibrium, and potential global consequences with satirical caution about engineering claims. It references astronomy authorities and speculative outcomes like a Sahara ocean and altered Earth's rotation.
The article contrasts at length the Boston Journal view on jury packing in Charleston and the opposite claim, discussing panels of ten Republicans and two Democrats. It then shifts to career guidance for young men, stressing finding competent leaders and the difficulty of securing top positions, plus dietary notes for livestock and a remark by Colonel E D Curtis on feeding pigeons and corn types.
