Only last week a New York Judge committed an unsuspecting female because she did not look at him, while giving her evidence. The consideration that the unhappy creature was cross-eyed does not seem to have affected in the least the judicial aspect of the matter, and although counsel particularly directed the Judge's attention to the fact that even if the witness looked as straight as she could, her lines of vision would meet at an angle far short of the tip of his Honor's nose, still this pocket-edition of Lord Chief-Justice JEFFRIES "blinked" the point sought to be made, and absolutely insisted that she should suffer the penalty of her alleged disrespect. PUNCHINELLO has a heart which warms naturally toward the sex, but he has also a cat-o'-nine-tails, which longs to warm the back of such a Judge, and if he will come down from his woolsack he can both see and feel what that cat-o'-nine-tails is like. Whether she be blue-eyed, or black-eyed, or cross-eyed, makes no difference to PUNCHINELLO, for he is, under all circumstances, the champion of the sex. * * * * * "Y. M. C. A." These much printed initials, which (as our intelligent readers are aware,) belong to certain modern Associations that combine Religion and Business in a highly prosperous manner, have sometimes a kind of secondary meaning, which may vary according to circumstances. When, for example, the Young Men's C. A. of Iowa City, after having regularly engaged Miss OLIVE LOGAN in their lecture course, concluded to back out, the cabalistic letters seemed to read-- "Y-ou M-ust C-ancel A-rrangements." But when the spirited OLIVE--perceiving rather more of Business than of Religion and Honor in this despatch--replied promptly that they might expect her without fail, according to programme, prudence suggested a quite different version of their initials, which now signified-- "Y-ou M-ay C-ome A-long!" We forbear to comment on the dramatic and touching picture here afforded.--We suggest still another reading of their abbreviation,--one that may serve as a permanent interpretation for _that_ latitude at least.-- "Y-outh M-ade C-onscientiously A-cute." * * * * * GREENISH-BLACK. Chicago boasts having sent a colored Fenian to Canada. But is he a true-blue O'SAMBO or MCCUFFEE? Or is he recognized as colored only in respect to his peculiar wearin' of the grin? * * * * * AT THE WATERING PLACES. PUNCHINELLO'S VACATIONS It need not be supposed that Mr. PUNCHINELLO intends to work himself to death this summer. By no manner of means! He guarantees that the paper shall come out regularly, and get riper and lovelier every week, but he will have his good little times, notwithstanding.
