The JUDGE BEARS TESTIMONY to the worth as un artist of J. A. Wales, who served the paper faithfully for a long time; and adds its regret that death has taken him in the prime of life | and when his great talent should have con- tributed most to the amusement of the thou- sands who knew and admired him. His death | will tinge with sadness the Christmas color that lights up the homes to which the JupGE goes; and there are none who will fail to cast a sprig of Christmas green into his open grave. HAPPY ALL THE YEAR ROUND. The words “ Merry Christmas,” however vigorously they may be uttered, embody merely a wish, Indeed they are’ frequently | an application for Christmas favors. The | JupGE is not thus commercially inclined, but presents the favors with the wish, as its ample pages give abundant evidence. A merry Christmas to all, and many returns of the same, and lots of JupGes always and every- where; and the better to ensure the latter blessing there are these special terms for all— four dollars a year in advance or ten cents a number, Here's your Christmas, ladies and gentlemen; and when the usual Christmas question is put, ‘What'll you take?” reply promptly, ** The Jupar, if you please,” and so be happy not only on Christmas day but all the year round. THE GRANT MONUMENT—THE JUDGE'S PLAN, Tue JupGe's scheme in behalf of the Grant monument fund, elsewhere advertised, will commend itself to all, especially at this sea- son, so largely devoted to remembrance. In ths way the Grant monument fund may be easily raised, at the same time that the gener. ously inclined contribute to their own amuse- ment, and some of them to their own posses- sions. The scheme, with the incidental char- ity devoted to other purposes, has been fully tried in England, and its success has been very great. The plan has the cordial indorse- ment of the Grant monument fund committee, as the following letter shows: Ornice ov THe Gnurt Moxvwest Association, ) ‘No. 148 Broapway, ( ‘New York, Dec. 10th, 1886. | W.
