What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, typical of Judge magazine's revenue model. The top half contains commercial ads for wine, collars, chocolate, and other products. The only substantial editorial content is **"The Slugger's Decadence,"** a satirical poem about a working-class boxer or street fighter ("ward-hitter") whose character has softened with age and prosperity. The joke is that this once-violent man—who previously fought brutally and extracted money ("levy") from others—has become domesticated by wealth and marriage. Now, instead of fighting or carousing, he walks his wife's poodle in the morning. The satire targets the **perceived hypocrisy or softening of rough, masculine types** who gain respectability through money and domestication. It's a humorous commentary on class mobility and changing masculine identity in Gilded Age America—the idea that wealth transforms even the toughest street character into a respectable (if slightly ridiculous) gentleman. The poem credits a "Merchant Traveler," suggesting it's reprinted from another publication.

Beyond question the finest trip by water of a hot day is that offered by the Iron steamboat company to Long Branch—a two hours’ voyage with coolness in the hot- test weather and all the requisite accommodations on board. ‘Thousands take the round trip without tarry- ing at the Branch ; but an hour or two there can always be’ profitably filled in, and, whatever return boat the pleasure-seeker may take, he can be in New York in time for an enjoyable evening at home. Four hours’ sail, therefore, with all that anybody could wish on board, for less than the price of a moderately cheap dinner. It is as extraordinarily small in price as it is remarkably large in health and enjoyment. Of course the Iron steamboat company’s boats to Coney island furnish the favorite trip to Coney island. ‘That goes without saying. It gives the only all-water route to the Island, as it does to the Branch. There are no other accommodations to either point that are half as good, and none that are so thoroughly enjoyable. When the flags of this company go up, that means the opening of the season. When they come down, that means a gen- eral feeling of regret, for it announces that the summer fun is over, At this moment the flags are flying and the season has fairly begun. d rat GREATEST INVENTION Very THE AGE“? ve tT.

A case came up in the court over which Judge Brill presides in St. Paul, says the Minneapolis Zridune, in which a big colored woman was a witness. She testified that she had whipped her little boy very severely, and as she went on with the story of the exceedingly stiff beating she had administered the judge's clear brow grew a little darker, and he interrupted her to ask if it had been necessary to chastise the boy so severely. The colored lady looked astonished at the question. Gazing intently at the court she inquired, ‘* Jedge, was you eber de father of a wuthless mulatter boy?” ** No, no,” said the judge hastily. ‘Then, jedge, you don’t know nuf- fin about de case. tes HEU.
