- Notorious American poetaster Julia A. Moore publishes her second collection, A Few Choice Words to the Public, but unlike her bestseller of 1876, The Sweet Singer of Michigan Salutes the Public, it finds few buyers. Moore gave her second public reading and singing performance late this year at a Grand Rapids opera house. She began by admitting her poetry was "partly full of mistakes" and that "literary is a work very hard to do". After the poetry and the laughter and jeering in response was over, Moore ended the show by telling the audience:
| “ | You have come here and paid twenty-five cents to see a fool; I receive seventy-five dollars, and see a whole houseful of fools. | ” |
Her husband eventually forbade her from publishing any more poetry and in 1882 moved the family 100 miles (160 km) north.
