A humorous reminiscence from Whitewater Wisconsin dated May 2, 1857 recalls a large, dignified Newfoundland dog at the post office. The dog calmly navigates four foot snow banks, while a narrator is toppled into the snow. The tale ends with a quip about a supposed money making method and a sleight of hand claim.
A fragmented poetry critique discusses the vitality and originality of women poets, praising wit and imagination while noting limitations in some passages. It lists contributors and reflects on literary standards, with references to F. M. McClellan and others, alongside brief mentions of seed trials and a murder case involving United States agent H. Dodge.
An English traveler narrates first contact with Brehat islanders, describing a tiny pocket archipelago off Tit tang. He profiles Madeleine, daughter of the wealthy Kerwar, and Cornick, whose romance is torn by a forced betrothal and a perilous espionage-like search across Kerwareva and Peacock’s Hollow. The tale traces Madeleine’s decline and eventual reunion with Cornick, amid Admiral Rose’s influence and Brehat’s wary, isolated society.
The narrative describes flying fish leaping from the sea beside a ship, their wing structure and propulsion, and observers noting their speed and aerial behavior. It recalls a dramatic ice crossing where a crevasse incident tested rope and crew coordination, with Hudson saved and others maintaining balance amid peril.
