Witty maxims and market news from an era
A collage of aphorisms and observations on taxes, poverty, luck, and human folly blends with notes on politics, weather, and notable figures. It covers Captain Lull in Pensacola, a rail time record, Senate rosters, and mentions Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, and Jay Gould. It also reports on a tunnel project under the Rocky Mountains, the Atlantic Pacific Railway venture, and a broad array of social quips.
