A detailed portrait of Edward A. Godkin editor of the New York Evening Post and Nation is offered, highlighting his integrity, stubborn independence, and fairness. The piece contrasts him with rivals, notes his battles with critics, and examines his role in New York journalism and politics.
The article portrays editor Godekin of The Nation as a private, contemplative figure living on West Tenth Street New York near landmarks like Washington Square and the Astor Library. It notes his selective public writing, family privacy, and his reputation among literary circles, comparing him to Charles A. Dana and referencing his occasional essays in English reviews.
A fragmentary prose poem recalls a vagabond's musings on hope and sorrow amid night, with lines about a past brighter life and a distant, unclear contract with fate. It is interwoven with unrelated clippings about politics and oddities.

The piece contrasts refined European flower girls with American sellers, noting Paris and Vienna booths, color harmony, and theater crowds. It reports on Chicago’s lack of artistic displays, a market in second hand blooms, and how foreign vendors charm customers with polished manners while American girls face criticism for rougher presentation.
