The Ghostly Guest and a Christmas Night
A long Atlantic poem recounts a king and a mysterious guest in a candlelit hall. The tale ends with dawn and a parable on wealth and generosity. A second prose vignette follows a cold city street scene where a kind stranger helps a poor girl and her mother. An Austrian swindle note recounts Count Esterhazy suspected of card cheating and fleeing Vienna for New York.

Inside the House of Commons Visitors Gallery
A visitor describes being invited to the floor of the Commons with access to the speaker and members. He notes crowded galleries with strangers behind a grate, hats worn by members, and a mix of youthful MPs, leaders like Gladstone and Disraeli, and observers from different factions. The tone contrasts formal decor with vivid character sketches of prominent figures.

Cruelty of Lee Exposed by Slave Testimony
A Gan slave recounts General Lee ordering a brutal flogging of enslaved youths and a woman after a day of harsh labor and rain. Lee, seizing the whip, is said to have lashed the woman and to have her wounds doused with brine, prompting renewed hostility to the Confederacy. The narrative also notes a Kansan regiment tale of a deceased sergeant found to be a woman in disguise, who served bravely and quietly.

Price of paper falls as straw boards rise in value
The article notes lower paper costs in New York due to a decline in rag and straw use, with rag prices dropping from 24 cents to around four, hemp at fifty to sixty dollars per ton expected, and straw paper production increasing. It cites a collapse of the paper makers' price-fixing and broad market dullness with rising substitutes and weaker demand.
