Poor General Lee ... all those family responsibilities. My oldest son broke his leg last weekend, so we’ve got him hanging around needing nursing until ... whenever. It’s safer here than the hospital: we have only ordinary germs, not multiple-antibiotic-resistant ones.

Thanks! They say he may be able to go back to work (in an advertising office) early next week.

I used to resent being pushed out of the hospital after a procedure. Now I’m happy to get out of there.

Amusing item on Page 18, “Warning to Plump Young Ladies.” Don’t drink vinegar thinking it will help you lose weight, even if your maid says so: it’ll kill you!

Good composition, especially the throwaway “total depravity” mention preceding the description of the excavation of the indigents’ cemetery.
Mr. Strong, of course, knows he’s doing it ;-).

Politicians will always be politicians. Only a politician could view Lecompton’s rejection as a victory for the slave states.
To: colorado tanker
We now remember Davis as the President of the Confederacy. However, Jefferson Davis was a moderate, in practice, before the war. He opposed secession until his state seceded.
