**Top Cartoon ("Putting Him Right"):** A satirical exchange about poetry and trees. Dr. Sapper claims "yonder oak doth shed its golden leaves," but Miss Bonton corrects him—it's a chestnut tree, not an oak. The joke mocks pretentious attempts at poetic language undermined by basic factual errors. It's social satire about affected speech among the educated classes. **Text Content:** The page contains brief political commentary critiquing Judge Robertson's absence from politics, gossip about Kansas women and courtship, and discussion of various society figures (Flower, Cleveland, Maybrick). The final item, "No Bolting," addresses political party loyalty—specifically referencing past candidates Tammany Hall opposed. The content reflects Gilded Age American political and social preoccupations.

PUTTING HIM RIGHT. De Sarrer—"'I love to write poetic truths. Listen : ‘ Yonder oak doth shed its golden leaves. It “Stop! That may be poetic, but at the same time I insist on your calling it fiction De Sarrer —'* Why so?” Miss BoTTon Miss BOTTON UDGE ROBERTSON being out of politics, we shall miss a first-rate man and considerable trouble. see THE CRADLE is the woman's bal. lot-box, but the girl-baby is thrown out by the returning-board. That is not fair, N KANSAS women are proposing to men with a zeal worthy of a noble cause, and the men are going off like hot cakes. MB. FLOWER somehow reminds us of young Mr. Casabianca, who stood on the burning deck, whence all but he had fled. MB. CLEVELAND has now got so used to the baby's pretty little screeches that he has ceased to throw up the window and call for the police. ae T IS NOT true, as stated, that Penn- sylvania Republicans are after Mr. Quay's scalp-lock. Some time since that scalp-lock was taken off close to Mr. Quay’s shoulde ‘THE LATE William Henry Smith, English tory, climbed from the bottom to the top of the ladder, and then kicked the ladder over for fear ° some miserable plebeian would have the audacity to follow him. fe os THE ALLUSIONS of Mr. Flower to the Greeks are very pathetic ; and he takes pains to say they refer to “the ancient Greeks” so that the modern ones of Tammany hall may not draw any disenchanting conclusions. THERE ARE TWO ways for an amateur actress to achieve success. One is to play for a year under an as- “* Because * yonder oak’ is a chestnut-tree.”* sumed name with a company of pro- fessionals ; the other, and better, to get married and retire to private life. M®- FLOWER is too good a friend of Mr. Cleveland to be ardently embraced by Governor Hill; so, take things by and far-away, including the votes of the thoughtful populace, and Mr. Flower is in no danger of being hugged to death. THE QUEEN of the Sandwich isl- ands had the honor of being reported dying at the very time that a king achieved the overt act. That is a great deal for a colored queen to live for, and it is the more enjoyable be- cause she survived her obituary. eee MES: MAYBRICK had a prescrip- tion for a preparation of arsenic to be used as a face-wash. It was searched for in vain during the trial, and was found, but too late, within the leaves of a family bible. We suppose that fact will count against her if she has a new trial and is brought before another insane judge. NO BOLTING. THE JUDGE does not believe in bolting. It calls attention to the bad example of Tammany in bolting the nomination of Lucius Robinson and running John Kelly for governor Again, Mr. Tilden wanted to run the second time for president, and but for Tammany he would have got the nom- ination; so that when Tammany men- tions him as one of its saints it is go- ing behind the record. The various Democratic opponents of Tammany must not bolt, however.. We mention these facts as a horrible example and ‘one that ought not to be followed by Herman Oelrichs or anybody else. comicbooks.com |
