What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising with minimal editorial content**. The dominant features are commercial notices for Victorian-era products: soups, safes, tea, jams, and railroad excursions. The only substantive editorial pieces are two short items: 1. **"The Angling Ananias"** — A humorous poem about an elderly fisherman who sits down to write tall tales about fishing exploits (a common trope in angling literature), only to realize he's already heard every fish story worth telling. The joke: fishing lies are so exhausted that even a chronic liar has run out of material. 2. **"A Philosopher in Love and in Uniform"** — A fragment discussing how military uniforms and brass buttons appeal romantically to women in fiction and real life. The piece appears incomplete on this page. Neither piece engages directly with contemporary politics. This appears to be a **society/humor-focused issue** rather than one emphasizing Judge's typical satirical commentary on public affairs.

THE ANGLING ANANIAS. An angler sat by the winter fire While only his wife was nigh ; And he said to himself, id this cunning old eif, “T'll tell ‘em a whopping big'lie— A brilliant and intricate lie. He leaned his chin on his ancient hand, While gently he stroked his beard, ‘Then he gathered his pen, His ink-bottle, and then He slyly and knowingly leered— A leer that was foxy and weird. He gazed aloft at the ceiling dark, Xnd then he looked down at the floor, As he said, ** Of a bout After salmon and trout, I'll give ‘em some angling lore— Some lovely and lying old lore.” He wrote and he wrote, a solid hour, His wife all the while sitting by, Very certain, however, ‘That her hubby, so clever, Was working up some novel li ‘Some wild and extravagant li When sudden the old man rose up stark With looks that were wizen and cold. “What's the matter ?” cried she ; “* The deuce !" said he, “I'm certainly fast growing old— Every lie I can think of 's been told.” —The American Angler, A PHILOSOPHER IN LOVE AND IN UNIFORM. Brass buttons exercise a certain mystical sway in nov- els as in real life. ‘The veteran of the past, the present hero of a battle, and the embryonic hero who is winning his spurs in West-Point flirtations or naval-academy balls, alike appeal to the patriotic as well as to the sen- timental heart ; and few there are who do not sympa- thize with the girl who wears gilt buttons on her watch- chain, She certainly will need no recommendation to read ‘A Philosopher in Love and in Uniform,” by the authors of ‘Napoleon Smith." The old soldier too, who remembers the battles of Chickamauga and Chat nooga, the battle of Stone river and the whole campaign of Rosecrans in eastern Tennessee, will give the book a kindly welcome for the sake of olden times ; while the student of occult mysteries will find in ‘Cadogan’s thoughts, action, and remarkable trance a curious out- come of the Great East-Indian brotherhood, The book is somewhat marred, however, by pushing this abstruse philosophy to an unnatural climax, Either the novel should have been carried out from the beginning in a romantic and poetic spirit or should have retained the pleasant realistic tone with which it opened.—Aewo York Home Journal. A GENTLE HINT. George was a bashful lover. He scarcely dared to touch his lady's hand, He loved her well, and she was worthy of his affection, for she was modest, intelligent, sweet, and lovable; but, like all good women, she yearned for the respectful caresses that are the’ evi- dences of a pure affection. She, however, yearned in vain, George worshiped her. He might kiss the hem of her garment, but to kiss her lips or cheek—the very audacity of the thought made him tremble, ‘They sat together by the sea, looking out upon the track of the moon's light which white-winged yachts were crossing now and then : Tt was a witching hour, a scene For love and calm delight.” Suddenly she moved slightly away from him, Please, George, don’t do that,” she said. What?" he asked in genuine surprise. Oh! you needn't tell me,” she replied. ‘You were just going to put your arm around my waist and—and were going to try and ki . “Dear Arabella “Oh! you needn't tell me different ; you were going to do it. Well, after all, I suppose’ you are not to blame. It is just what a lover would do to his sweet- heart, and I suppose I must not be offended if you do do it.” And George grasped the situation and did exactly what Arabella supposed he would do; and the moon grinned and the stars winked and the wavelets laughed and a mosquito that was about to alight on the maiden's check flew away and settled on the nose of a grass widow who was sitting near the band-stand.— Boston Courier, There is some platitude, but a great deal of good sense, in ‘* Brick” Pomeroy’s essays and reveries ; and the veteran Democrat may say truthfully, perhaps, that, outside of his unpardonable politics and a few little things like that, there is nothing in his voluminous writ- ings that is insincere. ** Reaching for Hearts,” from his type-writer, has many charming passages. olbence 0, 2) Conseabe As Co.
