What you’re looking at

This Judge magazine page contains several brief satirical items and illustrations: **"A Quarrel"** jokes about Colonel Bill Brown's misfortune at dinner, likely referencing a contemporary political figure. **"Our Ownest Fire-Eater"** critiques General Sheridan's calls for military aggression in the South, sarcastically praising his warmongering while mocking the idea that five minutes of peace is impossible. This appears to reference Reconstruction-era tensions. **"Enthusiastic Homage"** shows a humorous exchange between Uncle Hackett and a milk-maid, playing on rural dialect humor. **"A Slight Mistake"** depicts a mistaken identity scene where George believes he recognizes someone. The illustrations are typical of Judge's satirical style, using exaggerated caricature and sketch-work. Without clearer identification of all figures, specific contemporary references remain partially unclear.

A QUARREL between two noted actresses is so unfortunate, we must insist that Colonel Bill Brown be called upon for another dinner. eee MB. DANA hopes that the gods will be good to the New York Recorder. Probably it doesn’t occur to Mr. Dana that whom the gods love die young. ae GORMAN, it is said, has no small vices; and surely a man of his politics and ex- perience naturally has more or less contempt for things of that size Corer [DONNELLY wants one hundred thousand * dollars from the St. Paul Pioneer Press for libel.

WE CALL the camest attention of D. B. Hill to the fact that the Richmond State and various other southern newspapers say his allusions to Henry Watterson are both imperti- nent and insulting. 379 GAM JONES, according to a contemporary, is liable to come to an untimely end. Nothing could be more impossible. The ego- tism of the man admits of no surprise. If he were to be killed by lightning he would say, immediately on reaching the other shore, “ Do not be astonished. I knew it beforehand. 1 always die that way.” OUR OWNEST FIRE-EATER. WE DO WISH Brigadier- general Shepard would stop calling for a million men to whip the south again. ‘Pon honor war is a serious thing, and if we have to have one whenever there is a little or big crisis there won't be any kind of peace for more than fi minutes at atime. It is tough that a righteous measure should be beaten; but, after all, there are honest men who oppose it as well as honest men who support it, and if the former are to be hanged or shot or kicked because they won't or can’t think as the latter do there arises a power for evil that ought not to exist in any well-regulated republic. Come, come, ferocious soldier! Comb down the bristles of your hair and put a few bales of cotton in your eager ears. The world is not as good as it ought to be, but you and we will presently preach it into better humor. SARA. T 1S LUCKY for her husband that S. Bern- hardt never married.
