Caricaturana 38: Lively! Lively! Bertrand, got to push the merchandise onto the market, beat the big drum, make a show, attract the sucker's attention! Lively! Lively! We'll attack ourselves in the newspapers, write to ourselves, reply to ourselves, answer ourselves, insult ourselves, and above all, advertise ourselves... －do you think the public won't have the key to these shams? －Leave off, everybody has the key to them except the public

The Representatives Represented 25: Ferdinand Flocon; At first sight, you perhaps took this person for a Russian prince, slightly Cossack, which cannot have failed to afflict profoundly his quality as a watchful Republican. Ferdinand Flocon was for some weeks Minister of Agriculture, and one of his first acts was to shave his chin, formerly embellished with a full beard. He had even more excellent intentions, but lacked the time to carry them out

JOURNEY TO CHINA 7: CHINESE MARRIAGE. The angler's skill in setting his lines, the hunter's artfulness in taking game, the horse-dealer's tricks to hide the redhibitory defects of his horse, nothing is comparable to the skill, the artfulness, the trick which a mother deploys in order to marry her daughter... the poor Chinese men mistrust the lures, of honey and of glue, to no avail, someone always falls into the maternal snare

The Representatives Represented 17: L. Ant. Garnier-Pagès: Ex-member of the provisional Government, ex-Mayor of Paris, ex-Minister of Finance; Garnier-Pagès has the habit of putting his hands in his pockets, which is a great proof of honesty, above all at a time when so many citizens like to dig their hands into their neighbours' pockets. --- We note besides that Garnier-Pagès is loved by all who know him, despite the fact that he has a slight wart on his forehead

JOURNEY TO CHINA 19: CHINESE WORRIORS. All Chinese men have the right, from six to eight times a year, to carry a rifle, a cartridge-pouch, and even to wear a fur cap; then they apply themselves, more or less voluntarily to night patrols which have as their goal the maintenance of public peace. Only it happens quite often that the chief named KA-PO-RAL takes infinite trouble to prevent his warriors singing at the tops of their voices “mother GO-DI-CHON” or other Chinese ballads, and it is by waking with a start that the good citizens learn that their rest is being watched over

JOURNEY TO CHINA 17: THE PENAL CODE. The Chinese legislators have decreed that all the accused will answer a summons freely in front of their judges, and so they are brought before the examining magistrate between two policemen and bound with handcuffs, which in fact leaves them no more liberty than to sneeze. Moreover justice is delivered with such promptness in the Celestial Empire that it is very rare for he who has been cautioned to remain more than eight months before attending his trial, finally the solemn day arrives when he sees himself sentenced to a fortnight in prison, and the capped mandarin has the goodness to explain to him that this fortnight is not to be confused with the eight months he has already spent behind bolted doors
