...reports that a pair of "Siamese twins", born in Brooklyn, had been cut asunder so successfully that, though one died, the other would live to be a healthy man. Both infants were alleged to be perfectly formed, save that the deceased one had, instead of a right leg, a shapeless growth connecting him to the abdomen of his brother. Surgeons were said to have "hurried from all parts of the country" to see the "unprecedented result" of Dr. Philip Mininberg's plastic surgery...
...Empress because it was that of a middle-aged woman and its nail had been carefully manicured. There was also-with calcined precious stones, the remains of burnt clothing, the buckle of the Tsarevitch's sword belt, military buttons, some portable icons, and other objects of piety- a shapeless little mass of human grease!" The Monarchists, headed by the Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaievitch, however, declined to reveal the present resting place of the urns and all that could be obtained by diligent newsmen were multiplex corroborations of General Janin's tale.

In on place at a turn of the river I saw a great heap of horses, which had been cast up by the ice and current, in number not less than three hundred...
...toggery is reputed more conventional that convention itself. And some brave straws have already appeared; in fact, "the President has pointed the way with his Panama". It is a reasonable prophecy that only a few of the old felt hats will be seen on the street today--these curious, shapeless things that so touched the heart of the Editor of the Alumni Bulletin. Those few remain as silent testimony to the struggle going on within their owners, whether to buy a Cable Edge Sennit--possible Flat Foot Wearo--or a Full Sennit completely equipped. As soon as they can overcome...
