This page is primarily **advertising and miscellaneous content** rather than political cartoons. The visible elements include: - **"Camp Meetings as they are"** — a brief satirical piece mocking revival camp meetings as commercialized spectacles - **"A Highly-Colored Romance"** — humorous romantic dialogue poking fun at sentimental literature - **"The Mummery of Masonry"** — appears to satirize Freemasonry, though details are unclear from this excerpt - **Multiple advertisements** for retail stores (Trephagen & Co., H. O'Neill & Co., Jones), billiard tables, and various goods The magazine's satirical commentary targets **popular religious enthusiasm, sentimental literature, and fraternal organizations**, but no specific political figures or major events are identifiable on this page. It's a typical mixed-content issue combining light social satire with substantial commercial advertising.

Persons afflicted with diseases of the eyes can find no greater curative than POND'S EXTRACT. There are no harsh and irritating drugs in its composition, so that it can be used io any case without the least danger of injury to the most delicate organism. It has astrangely marvelous power to arrest and re- move inflammation, It affords relief upon the first application, and producing the best results when its use is contiqued. Beware of imitabons. Ask for Ponp’s Exrract—take no othi BOZODONT. To preserve the teeth and keep them pure and white, to prevent their decay, there is no preparation in the market equal to SOZODONT. To preserve the gums in a natur- ally hard and healthy condition, there is 20 superior to SOZO- DONT. To purify and sweeten the Breath there is no rival to SOZODONT. For a perfect mouth there is no recipe like the use of SOZODONT. Consequently it is n0 wooder that the populanty of SOZODONT as a dentifrice has 20 bounds. All Druggists keep it.

Green said to fair Miss Brown, “ My heart is all your roan— ‘Then white to me are you so cold, ‘And why so harsh your tone?” She cast on him magenta look, And then she shook her red, And as the zephyrs softly blue, She wept, and weeping, said: “Twouldst, but, oh! my watchful pa, Maroon all our fun— ‘The purple nab you by the leg, And murder will be dun!” St. Louis Times. Iris not generally known that regattas are at least as old as the days of AEsop, for he re- cords the victory of the tortoise who rated ina shell, Time not taken, but believed to have been slow.— Chicago Zribune, Queen Vicroria has no trouble in getting her girls off her hands; but her oldest boy still hangs around home, showing no disposition to learn any sort of trade by which he can earn a living.—Naw Orleans Picayune. Aw exchange announces that Grant has written a book entitled “How to Get Around the World for $2.50." His book would sell a thousand times faster if it were called “How to Get $2.50." —Louisville Courier-Journal. Supposinc, for the sake of argument, that President Tilden is the villain which Cyrus W. Field, G. A. S., represents him to be, the latter ought to be ready to erect a monument to his memory, and we dare say he'd be glad of the chance.—Boston Post. Somenopy says that the American youth ripples with blasphemy as spontaneously as the nightingale trills forth her gushing melody to the moon. This is what comes of education and founding Young Men's Christian Associa- tions.—S, F. News-Letter. ‘Tuts is nice cool, bracing weather, but the knowledge that it will bring out not less than five hundred jokes about a poem called “Beau- tiful Snow” almost makes one wish it would remain ninety-nine degrees in the shade all the year round.—Norristown Herald, Tue Princess Louise has eleven state-rooms at her disposal on the ‘“Sarmatian.” When the winds begin to howl, the Princess will seek the seclusion that one state-room grants and tell the captain he may give the other ten to the poor.—Norristown Herald. “Wuere,” inquires Martin Tupper, “are the pure, the noble and the meek?” We are at home, now, Martin, having just returned from Boston, but next week we expect to be far away attending the musical convention. But you may direct to this place and we'll get the letter just the same. Please don’t forget to en- close a stamp.— Rockland Courier. Tue Eureka Sentinel proposes a new style of leg competition, It holds that all of the misery attendant upon a prize-fight or a walking-match can be obtained from a standing-match, if it is only protracted sufficiently. Surely a dozen men can be found willing to stand in a row un- til they fall from exhaustion for gate-money. “We have,” it says, “some talented standers here in Eureka—gentlemen who have been pacing on the street-corners for years without any apparent fatigue—who would be very for- midable in a contest of this kind. They can at least find backers among those who have observed them in this regard in the years gone by. We will guarantee that Eureka falls heir to the champion belt of the universe if such a trial is gotten up.” The Mummery of Masonry.
