**Top Cartoon: "Inconsistency Among the Sedges"** A satirical scene showing a woman in a boat with two men. The caption mocks Miss Norton's contradictory statements about hiding her face, suggesting hypocrisy or inconsistency in her public positioning. The specific political context is unclear without additional information about Miss Norton's identity or contemporary controversy. **"The Wrecking of an Anthem" (lower section)** Two vignettes depicting disruption of church music/congregational singing. References to Grandma Fullerson and "The Tenor" appear to mock behavior during hymn-singing—the tenor complaining about a pipe leak, suggesting amateur or incompetent musical performance. The satire targets disruptions to religious observance or institutional dignity. **Political context:** Specific figures and events remain unclear without additional historical documentation.

Retort on the modern filibusters—They are the most idiotic of their idiotic kind, EDITOR BROML is said to have knocked out Mr, Sullivan with a single sentence, and possibly he can be called a bully too. OMEBODY calls for a new white-house at Washington, Better wait till it is known whereabouts west of us the new white-house is going to be permanently located.

In point of fact those men, united by bonds of politics and business, are one and inseparable. HURRAH FOR THE BOODLERS! BUT THREE BOODLERS have been imprisoned for the Broadway- surface bribery, and but one remains in prison, It cannot be said that the others have not suffered in exile, and a few of them are dead, for justice will have its own in some shape; but the tax-payers have suffered too, for the comparative failure of the law has cost them a great deal of money. Since the Broadway bribery there is a new set of scoundrels, as the senate investigating committee shows; but it is doubtful if any of them are punished, and indeed some of them, known to be guilty, have already been acquitted through some technicalities of the law.
