What you’re looking at

This page contains several satirical commentary pieces typical of Judge's editorial voice, plus one cartoon. **The Main Cartoon** ("A Monotonous Diet") depicts a domestic scene where a woman stands while a man sits. The caption suggests tedious married life—likely about the repetitive, unstimulating nature of domestic routine or marriage itself. **The Editorial Pieces** include: - Mockery of Canadian Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald, suggesting he's funded by American gold - A jab at lenient sentencing (Thomas Gould getting off cheaply) - Satire on pension-seeking relatives of soldiers, implying opportunistic exploitation - A lengthy anecdote about "Mrs. Bangem," satirizing women's supposed "courage"—she panics during a house fire, accidentally kills her husband through misguided intervention, yet maintains composure at his funeral. The satire mocks the contemporary declaration that women possess equal courage to men, suggesting their judgment may be dangerously poor. **The Cartoon at bottom** shows a country editor being pressured by his daughter about subscription payments and editorial decisions—light domestic humor about newspaper operations. The page reflects late-19th-century attitudes toward gender roles and colonial/American politics.

Thus the house of Mrs. nthia Bangem of Germany Patent, IIL, pparently took fire on the roof, and Mrs. Bangem immediately called loudly for the fire department of a village some five miles away Failing to arouse the reprehensively dull indi- viduals of the department to a sense of the imminency of the danger, she seized Mr. Bang- em by the hair with such suddenness that he paused in his mastication of a piece of beef in order to swallow the same the wrong way. Nothing discouraged by this accumulation of misfortunes, Mrs. Bangem slapped Mr, Bangem violently on the back, and then slid him out of the side door on his breast with such violence that he not only dislodged the meat but burst a blood-vessel. Thinking that nothing could be done in the emergency by Mr. Bangem, she turned promptly to the hired man of the place, who bad by this time mounted the roof with a ladder, and bade him ‘Go on, go on!” Then, turning rapidly, she nearly simultane- aught up and shot off a gun, blew tem- pestuously on a dinner-horn, and rang with large hand-bell.

The funeral was held on the afternoon of the next day, and, notwithstanding the fatigue attending her exertions, Mrs. Bangem person- Hy superintended all the arrangements and | cried with an air of resignation, ease and serenity that astonished her most admiring | friends. Judge and the Play. The action of the lord chamberlain of Lon- don in insisting that an American burlesque actress now playing within his jurisdiction shall wear at least a thin scarf of gauze would seem not to be unreasonable; but if he con- nstance he may presently insist rf and a couple of buttons. nounce Bang In returning to England Miss Helen Hi made the only success that attended her visit here.

The finder of them put | their value at $3,500, which made the lady so mad that she cried out, ‘Cram them down the miscreant’s throat! suffer if it costs me the whole $350.” Itis believed that Stuart Robson dropped the middle syllable of the same the better to ac- commodate it to the stphlit in hith sthor Marie Prescott does not have any diamonds | to speak of, but she has a very pretty little divorce case to take care of.
