Satirical verse recalls a worker who climbs wages yet accumulates more debt and spendthrift habits as he takes on more jobs. The narrator notes that income growth increases expenses and reduces savings, ending with a lament over being deeply in debt.
Excerpts recount Lew Wallace’s Civil War career from his portrayal as a colonel to his role in the Bull Run aftermath. The piece surveys his views on abolitionists, Garrison, and Toombs, plus a segue into a verse about love and immortality and Winchester’s wartime notes. It ends with travel notes on Havana and a Cuba voyage mention.
The Star reflects on Cuba including prices, churches in Havana, and a Cuban memorial. It mentions the American ambassador’s residence, Catholic processions, and contrasts Cuba now with 20 years ago. It also discusses the Devil, faith, and divine protection as a guide through sorrow.
