# "Venetian Love-Scene" Cartoon Analysis The central cartoon depicts a romantic scene between two figures at a Venetian window. The dialogue—"Only one more sweets kiss from your elfin-grant lips" / "Nay, say, Petroni—" / "How can you beg so cruel, when I had no guide for aught and you have cats the plenty?"—satirizes overwrought Victorian romantic melodrama and Italian opera conventions. The humor lies in the absurd juxtaposition: the male character invokes passionate, poetic language ("elfin-grant lips"), while the female character responds with mundane practicality about lacking guidance and having cats. This mocks the gap between theatrical romantic idealization and unglamorous reality—typical of Judge magazine's satirical approach to contemporary social pretensions and sentimental excess.

THE BIOGRAPHIES of Gorman and Brice show that those gentlemen have gambled in every future with the exception of that which comes after death. eee COMMODORE GERRY permits no smoking in the elevators of his Broadway building. This man is extremely radical. Elevating the elevator caps the climax. M&S: GREEN of Indiana said to her husband, “You're a Colonel Breckinridge.” Mr. Green is not impulsive, however; so, instead of killing her, he calmly inaugurated a suit for divorce. AMELIE RIVES CHANLER is believed by the Literary World to be the mrost beautiful woman in literature; but we have sometimes thought that in her case handsome is as handsome doesn't. THE BEST REMARK of Mr. Cleveland on the completed tariff was “Oh, h—!" There has been no time within the last fourteen years when Mr. Cleveland was more in harmony with the views of the people. A BRAWLING EGOTIST. THE MODESTY of St. John of Kansas in wanting to be the Almighty for fifteen minutes is very striking. One would think so wise a man would want to be the Almighty all the while, and that he would turn in wrath upon the Almighty for not allowing him to have the management of things at the very beginning of the creation. A NOTED HUMANITARIAN. MR-PULLMAN says he tried to make good citizens of his employés. Some westerners think they can ‘convert Indians only by shooting them, but Mr. Pullman was gentler “in his methods. And he has his reward; for, however his men have been converted, his fortune is very large and his company didn’t skip a dividend during the great strike. THE COMMERCE OF MISFORTUNE. WOMAN who was mutilated on the track of a railroad would not be wise to attempt to star on the stage simply for that reason. If she were club-footed she would be equally unwise to do it. If, having con- fessed and made conspicuous her loss of virtue, she should try it because of the notoriety the confession gave her, what a remarkable person she would be! WHY THE DELAY? ‘THE WAVE OF INEBRIETY which, according to a newspaper corre- spondent, recently reached Washington was something of a surprise. Not that it was there; but where had it secluded itself during the previous parts of the’ congressional session, and what was done with it during the wiggle- waggle of tongues on the silver question? The correspondent must have been asleep; or perhaps he was under the wave during its previous convolutions. SELF-SLAUGHTER. WHO have much to live for are as apt to commit suicide as men who are ill and hopeless, A number of rich men have recently shot themselves, and one rich woman, apparently without a care, took herself off with some cheap and painful poison. Indeed it may almost be said that the more hopeless and worth- less a man is the more he clings to life. The suicide is a freak, and his suicide is evidence of an insanity which no theory or reasoning can influence. RURAL SIMPLICITY, MUCH OF THE SPARKING of But- falo, as we learn’ from a newspaper of that town, is done in the local cemetery. It is cheerful because it is inexpensive. But, really, the custom prevails in many villages, which, but for the cemetery, would LOVE-SCENE, 'eTROLIO—" Only one mora sweeta kissa from. your elfra-' have no place of popular resort whatever.

A SHORT CUT TO LIBERTY. HE BICYELE has been mentioned as an invention for the develop- ment and exhibition of the lower portion of the feminine leg. The propriety of this exhibition is questioned. We do not care to discuss it; but it may be observed that the arguments that are used in the affirmative will apply as Well to the legs that run sewing-machines, are given to horseback-riding, attend to the humbler household duties, and assist in any out-door game in which women participate. Now why not drop this contemptible matter of propriety and give all women the trousers and the knickerbockers at once? ALTRURIA. N HIS “ALTRURIA" Mr. Howells indirectly expresses his belief in as well as his desire for a new kind of man. ‘This man is not to be im- ported. directly from heaven, but is to get the heavenly nature along with his birth. It is his chief business to “assist.” Thus when Jackson and Corbett fight we dare say he will assist the weaker person; though indeed those gentlemen, if they shall become altruistic themselves, will struggle so hard each to have the other win that all three will perish of divine ex- ° haustion. And then there will be no need of any heaven. Everybody will be so happy that nobody will want to die. comicbooks.com
