A lively portrait study notes Meissonier loved exaggerating flaws in sitters features. It cites his unflattering likeness of Mrs. Mackay and a bold remark to critics. The piece recounts the artist clashing with Mrs. Mackay, the Paris reception, and a humorous exchange with an English patron. It also references Meissonier’s disdain for being an “animal painter” and a long anecdote about an Irish music tale linked to Work’s visits and songs.
A Sixth Avenue barber tempted a customer to trim his long front lock, only to hear its value as a family rudder. The tale shifts to a note on the Civil War song Marching Through Georgia, its authorship Henry J Work and abolitionist father Alenson Work, and a Sherman anecdote from Dublin.
A London style note discusses swearing clubs based on Knutsford proceedings. Members meet at pubs to discuss matters before supper and fine anyone who swears, using fines to fund meals. Report claims reform spreads beyond the club into streets, suggesting wider adoption nationwide.
An argument over a very young boy sworn as a witness ends with the judge praising the child’s belief in hell fire for every fault. The story contrasts counsel doubt with the boy’s simplicity and potential moral growth. Also included are a lyric excerpt about “Good night” and a physician’s reflection on a dying patient clinging to life.
A line in a contest humor piece from the Binghamton Leader ponders why a poem would be in a placid lake. A young lady jokes it was washing its feet as Prettyboy remains unmoved, then sinks into fatigue and sits on his left thigh, lost in thought.
A collage of aphorisms, quips, and ads ranges from marital jokes and social status to medical cures and train travel. It notes a Chicago clergyman quoting scripture, mentions divorce, fashion, and wealth, plugs Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and Hall's Catarrh Cure, and praises Wagner cars while advertising travel routes and a Denver to Chicago flyer service.
A sixty-year-old man has become insane from reading sensational tales, illustrating the old adage that reading maketh a fool man as cited by the Norristown Herald.
The San Francisco Examiner proposes a Washington Bureau of Claims to handle Indian depredation, land, postal, and pension claims against the government. John Wedderburn would lead, with safeguards on fees, while a petition from northern California urges Congress to permit fair attorney fees. Letters should be sent to The Examiner Bureau of Claims in Washington, D. C.
A collage of patent medicine pitches and satirical notes. Syrup of Figs touted for cleansing the body and curing constipation. Mrs Winslow's soothing syrup advertised for teething pain. A jab at the Democratic nominee and a cartoonish mockery of the “Democratic tiger” by Testopsy Times. Prickly Ash Bitters praised for digestion and vitality. Brown's Bronchial Tractors claimed effective for bronchial issues. A dentist joke concludes the page.
