Punch's GartaOnist.


Nj Tenniels contributions to Punch have
been as varied in character as they have been
uniformly excellent. He is equally at home
in pathos and tragedy, in playfulness and
satire; but underlying all his work is a spirit
of grave earnestness which proceeds from
conscientious zeal. He always honestly
strives to make the best of his subjects, how
ever uncongenial, and his remarkable skill is
an open secret that the subjects for the weekly
cartoons in Punch are selected and discussed
q, the weekly dinner of the staff, held every
Wednesday; and the artist must often find
his Imaginative powers rather handicapped
and circumscribed by the political exigencies
of the hour.
The subject for the following week. picture
having been selected for him, or perhaps sug
gested by himself, he takes a day to turn it
over in his mind, and on the morrow formu
ates his ideas on paper. He makes his draw
inc in PENCIL on the wood, and rarely fails to
complete it at a single sitting. 1t is finished
by the afternoon of the day on which he
commences it, and it is sent off to the engrav-
ers the same evening He dispenses alto
gether with models, relying on his own intui-
tive knowledge and skill, He is of necessity
rapid worker, for it is never safe to tackle
his subject till the last moment. A single
day may change the political situation and
upset the plans of the artist
The hardship of working at high pressure
is that Mr.. Tenniels cartoons always run the
risk of being spoiled in the process of engrav-
ing. The technical skill of the engraver
leaves nothing to be desired, but the time at
his disposal is barely sufficient to do justice
to the drawings under ordinary circum-
stances; and if NJ. Tennels work is delayed
by few hours, or even if it is more eabor-
ate than usual in its details, parts of it have
to be omitted or cut away, to the great detri-
ment of the original design. Another result
of the system is that Mr.. Tenniel can never
enjoy the relaxation of regular holiday; for
with the exception of week or two some
years ago, his drawings have appeared regu-
larry week after week without intermissOn
since ISL.

A TRAGEDY IN PAST PARTICIPLEs:

And her friend Charley Church was Q

Though his friends all called him screecher
who scraught.
his heart, when he saw her, kept sinking and
sunk,
And his eye, meeting hers, kept winling and
While she, in turn, fell to thinking and
thunk;
And fastened to WOO her, and sweetly he
wooed,
For his love grew until to a mountain ID
grewed,
And what he was longing to do, then he
dooed.
In secret he wanted to speak, and he spoke,
To seek with his lips what his heart long had
soke;
So he managed to let the truth leak and it
loke.
He asked her to ride to church, and they
rode:
They so sweetly did glide that they both
thought they glode,
And they came to the place to be tied and
were toed.
And homeward, he said, let US drive, and
they drove;
And as soon as they wished to arrive they ar
rove,
For whatever he couldn't contrive she con-
trove
The kiss he was dying to steal then he stole;
AT the feet where he wanted to kneel there
he knole,
And he said. Il feel better than ever fole"
So they to each other kept clinging and chung,
While Time on his circuit was winging
and wung
And this was the thing he was bringing and
brung.
The man Sally wanted to catch and had
caught
That she wanted from others to snatch and
had snaught-
Was the one she now liked to scratch and had
scraught.
And Charley'swarm love began freezing and
froze
While he took to teasing and cruelty tose
The girl he had wished TO be squeezing and

leave him and left,

Reducing the Armies.

tHVfII"IcN y NNVIIVrIIy'J
The kings of Europe have recently been
comforting together The emperors of Aus
Stria and Germany have met, and
the king of Spain has paid visit
to several of his brother rulers.
The result is said to be an alliance between
number of the leading powers to bring about
a reduction of the several armies. In times Of
profound peace Europe represents a vast
camp; nearly all the able-bodied men are
drafted into the armies, and the financial
burdens of the several nations have, in conse-
quence, become intolerabe. 1t is believed
that u congress of the several nations will be
held to see If something cannot be done to re-
trench the military establishments and save
some of the money now wasted on costly and
useless ornaments

ceremony as brilliant as possible and

acting persons in Moscow have
been arrested and thrown into pris.

after the coronation. An imperial
decree has been issued to the army

that will lead to the arrest of Nj.
hilists in the army. A special
guard of $4,000 citizens has been
formed and in addlt tion to these, 55,.
000regular troops have been detailed
for the occasion. It is evident
from these extraordinary precau.
tionary measures that shiver o1
fear runs through the empire. but
it is now too late to retreat. The
head Of the Czar must be crowned
at the risk Of being blown off i'm,
mediately thereafter. The grand
festival-if not interrupted BY q
grand tragedy-will continue
through eight days. The world
will watch this event with much
more than ordinary interest, fol
the reason that the Nihilists have
so persistently asserted that the
Czar never should be crowned.

finished, and as light as wood, show
