JOURNEY TO CHINA 16: THE MUSIC LESSON. The Chinese man of independent means likes to occupy his leisure by cultivating music: very willingly he takes lessons on the clarinet, the accordion or the hunting horn, and in spite of the contrary opinion of his unfortunate neighbours, persists in calling this an accomplishment!

LIFE'S HAPPY DAYS 33: A SAINT’S DAY AND DAY OF BRACES: －Here my sweetheart... on the occasion of my Saint’s day I’ve embroidered these braces!... －(The gentleman, aside.) Good God I’ve already got eleven pairs of them in my drawer... I won’t get away with it this time for less than fifty crowns!... women really take too great an advantage of our wearing trousers, so as to make us wear braces!..

BOHEMIANS OF PARIS 7: THE PUFFER OF CUSTOMERS: About the word puff! (scans, lies in wait for, cheat's dictionary.) Under the appearance of a simple loafer this individual is dedicated to business in security [watch] chains, hall-marked gold gems; silver pencil-cases and other encumbrances of the public way, he scents the police constable; and when the security of [watch] chains is compromised he clears off wth the shop!

Strangers in Paris 3: What is called dining in a restaurant: －Waiter!...I've been in your establishment for an hour and a quarter without having a chair...and you've still only given the tooth-picks to my wife who's dying of hunger... you'll make me lose my normal posture, and I'll end up with my feet in the dish... do you understand, waiter! －There now, Sir... there there now, there there!!!

The Salon of 1842: Charmed to see himself exhibited, the original seen here takes his wife to the Salon, and places her in front of his own image, in order to rejoice in the crowd's judgment. －Look, say some, it's Chinese Commissioner Lin! －No, says others, don't you see that it's a bit of natural history! － It is, joins in a gentleman with a catalogue, it is the portrait of Mr. D..., insurance broker. －Well, with a bonce like that he needn't insure it, because no one would steal it. (His lady wife leaves, extremely flattered.)

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

JOURNEY TO CHINA 9: A CHINESE DANCE.One is greatly mistaken if one believes the Chinese people to be giddy, joyful and the friend of pleasure: they are on the contrary serious and morose, since their greatest amusement consists in a type of lugubrious walking in which the men and women walk one in front of the other, or one beside the other, and seem to be saying among themselves: brother we should die! In order also to point to the philosophical intention behind this ceremony, the opposite of dancing, they call it: Counter-dancing

Caricaturana 92: Sir, I despise the charlatanism of the poster, I despise the Puffs of the advertisement, I abhor everything which smells of the charalatan, the tumbler, the rope-dancer, and I limit myself to producing with all naivete and foolishness my merchandise. Read my catalogue! Scent of love, esteem and friendship, in phials from the Middle-Ages... Extract of the smile of infancy －Perfume of Adolphe's first steps－ Water of the peoples' alliance, for the handkerchief, with Beranger's song. Perfume of General Foy, a scent to strengthen the brain's fibre and to remind the French of their liberties and rights guaranteed by the constitutional charter. Surrounded by an oration given upon the tomb of the immortal deputy by one of his honourable colleagues. You see, it's impossible to be more simple

Strangers in Paris 1: The arrival: What, no room!... －Not even for your hat-box... －What about in the sitting-room? －Twenty one Englishmen are in there... －In the attic?... －I've put eleven Savoyards in there... －In the celler?... －Fifteen Polish people have set up home... －Oh! hang it...oh! damnation... oh! Good God!...are we going to spend the night by the side of a milestone?... －That's what you'd better do, because then the night patrol will get you out of trouble quickly by taking you to sleep at the Prefecture of Police's office, Saint Martin cell!... specially reserved for the homeless and poodles without papers!..

ADVERTISING AND PUBLICITY 2: THEY MAKE THIS POOR PUBLIC SWALLOW THIS!! The Rubber Clyso-Trompe occupies, within the large family of emollients, the place which the gentle flute holds among wind instruments. The Clyso-Trompe refreshes ideas, destroys bugs, calms nervous irritation, opens up intelligence, purifies the Conscience of remorse, inspires Dithyrambs upon the museum of Versailles, but does not at all relieve colic. The lights of the ox in early infacy have received the commendation of all crowned heads. This admirable Pectoral cures Dim-sightedness, Corns, Whitlows, freckles, the mania for maknig dramas. etc. etc. etc. This velvet paste is most particularly suitable for everyone. It relieves hoarseness as if by hand. Duprez is indebted to it from 553 feet above sealevel, where he has never been. It even gives children in the best of health Whooping-cough

THE TEMPTATION OF THE NEW St. ANTHONY: In that particular time, a great and fat sinner named Véron felt himself touched by grace: having reflected that the Press was a priesthood, he became a hermit and retired to a wild place in the midst of the steepest mountains of Montmartre. There, he spent his days and nights in prayer, and as a means of mortification, imposed upon himself as a penitence the continual re-reading of the list of subscribers to the Constitutionnel. －For his only food, Véron took at long intervals a light fragment of Regnauld pâté. －The Devil, irritated by this edifying yet unexpected conversion employed different strategies to make St. Véron succumb to his temptations, but our noble coenobite knew how to resist those things which until recently had held so many charms for him: Satan, who had taken the form of the Constitutionnel in order come in person to tempt St. Véron, returned to the road for Paris, furious. －The anchorite of Montmartre has, since this time, been placed in the rank of the greatest saints which Parisian journalism honours, and is especially supplicated by the unfortunates who have a head cold
