The Blue-stockings 17: (The pit at the Odéon) － The author!... the author!... the author!... － Gentlemen, your impatience will be satisfied... you wish to know who is the author of this play which has just received such a great, and I should say, such justifiable, success... the author... is meeeeee!

MONOMANIACS 2: THE EMBROIDERER: An example of the error that nature sometimes commits in labelling the sexes. Thus, in the same way that you see so-called women who sport trousers, a kind of moustache, play the cornet, the double-bass, or who compose humanitarian novels; so you see so-called men who pluck the harp, hem ties, embroider at the frame with their men's hands, and if need be, do a little cooking

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

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
