G
GERMAN WAR CARICATURES.
the rallifall QastUe.
So far the fortune of war has not been
f aTorable to the interests of facetious art. It
in only those that win who can laugh, and the
French are unquestionably better hands at
laughing than the Germans. - Any one who
knows Paris and its humors can imagine the
crop of caricatures that would be now on
view at the kiosks, along the Boulevards, and
in the Palais Royal if tne armies of France
were in Germany as conquerors and not as
prisoners.' "What acres of pictorial "chatt"
there would hare been about Bismarck and
Moltke and "ce vieux Guillaumo." What
bold exaggerations of the Pickelhaube
and the pipe of the Prussian soldier;
what fun would have been made of the many
awkward positions in which the latter would
have been perpetually finding himself through
the elan and astuteness of his adversaries; and,
above all, what a number of good things,
smart and epigrammatic, would have been
Riven as coming out of the mouths of Zouaves
and Tnrcos. All this has been lost to the
world, and nothing comes from the other side
that at all adequately fills the void. The
German hand is heavy in war, as poor France
has discovered to her cost, and it is by no
means light in caricature. It rarely plays
with the subject in an allegorical or fanciful
way, but rather comes down upon it with a
sound thump, which leaves very little doubt
as to what an artist means. German philoso
phers may be obscure, but the German war
caricaturists certainly are not. As Thackeray
Baid of Hogarth, there is very little mistake
about their satire; if they have to draw a man
with his throat cut, they draw him
with head almost off. They are plain
spoken, even to coarseness sometimes. The
most popular war caricature in Germany, or
at least the most widely circulated, is that
one which called forth the protest of our
correspondent "Nemo" the other day, in
which half-a-dozen German soldiers, repre
senting the constituency of the Confederate
army, are shown administering to the Em
peror, Empress, and Prince Imperial, toge
ther with "Flon-Plon," Gramont, and Olli
vier, that simple form of manual chastise
ment with which delinquencies are visited in
the nursery. Some, even more coarse, are
quite as broad as any of Bunbury's produc
tions, to which, in execution and treatment,
they bear a strong resemblance. Indeed, if
caricatures were classified, like fossils, ac
cording to strata of different periods, a large
number of the German war caricatures of this
autumn would bo without hesitation set down
by scientific men as belonging to the Bunbury
formation. Their structure and functions
are entirely of that age. We have to go back
long way now to arrive at the time when
the myth about frogs being the staple article
of food with Frenchmen had still sufficient
vitelity in it to serve as a foundation for the
artist. Nevertheless, in several of these Ger
man sketches it turns up quite fresh and
lively. In a very grotesque bird's-eye view
of the Camp at Chalons, published at the
time the Crown Prince was marching on it,
the French soldiers are shown hunting frogs,
spitting them on ramrods and
roasting them ; and in several others
the frog makes his appearance,
obviously as a general emblem of French
diet. This is very curious and interesting.
In the first place it is a new illustration of the
wide range of popular myths and legends.
Most people here, we imagine, would have
said that this idea of frogs and Frenchmen
was purely Britannic, and could only flourish
among unenlightened islanders. And then it
is curious to find it cropping up now among
the Germans, the people of all others among
whom accurate information on all subjects is
most widely diffused, and who ore supposed
to be pre-eminently skeptical in matters not
warranted by reason and experience, while
among our benighted and superstitious pea
santry it would be difficult to find a man who
did not regard the notion of the French living
on frogs as a fable too long exploded to be
even available for joking purposes.
The series published under the title of
"Flugblatter". is mainly of this sort; but
though there is not much refinement in the
drawings there is sometimes a good deal of
rude humor. An illustration of the famous
Kaarbrucken despatch from the Emperor to
the Empress, or as it is facetiously put 1 'from
mitrailleur to mitrailleuse," announcing the
fire baptism of the Imperial Prince, has a
certain rough comicality, about it. The
Prince is on his knees playing with the very
large ball "which fell quite close to him,"
while his father regards him with ' admiration
and uplifted hands, and soldior of various
arms standing round with most grotesquely
sentimental expressions f , countenance,
dropping tears of portentous size. The Em
peror, it may be observed, in almost
all these portraits is endowed with a
mighty paunch, just as immediately on "the
breaking out of the Crimean war the Eaipe
ror Nicholas swelled out iu the hands of the
comic draughtsman. This seems to be a
common practice with the political carica
turists. The only notable exception we can
recollect is Gilray, whose portraits" of the
First Napoleon nearly always suggest extreme
lankness. Another of the same series, which
seems to be very1 popular in Germany, h
entitled "Das lange l'ferd." The animal,
however, is an , unmistakable donkey, and is
labelled "Frankreich." Under the fore legs
is the date 1S0, ; under, the ' hiud lS7i;
and on its back are figures intended for
the first Republic, the First Napoleon,
Louis XVIII, Charles X, Louis Philippe,
the Beoond Republic, Napoleon III, and,
l&Btly, the present republic a very diminu
tive figure, trying hard to preserve a precari
ous seat just oyer the root of the tail. In
front is a i svausp, t morass of ouie sort.
with (of

When they die Are the flgare of "Old IVltV
and Uluclier, looking down approvingly, an 1

xot blowing bubbleH, labelleJ "Mexico," "Bel
ghun," "The Jtbine," etc., while the little ,
Prince says, "Oh, papa, what beautiful bub- !
Lies you do blow." The reception of th'3
news of the republic by the Emperor is tun
subject of another. "Hurrah!" he says,
"a 4 republic in Trance. Xhat'a.aU riht. .
I'll get myself made president
as before, and then, after a - year or tw v I II,
be Emperor again." - Then there ara illdstra- '
tions in abundance of popular national son-s.
Napoleon's "WaoLt am P. bain' U depicted iu
a sketch of the Emperor on the back of a
Turco bnrveying the Khine frontier, au I hi
yearnings in that same direction furuiu a
fancy illustration for "Du, du liegst zuiri.n
Jleren;" bat the moat elaborate, at loast as a
ork of art, is a well-axecuted engraving,
which may be considered as a aort of ohvc
to Gustavo Dore's spirited "Uhin Alleoiand '
sketch. It is entitled ."Zoruck," and reprs
ersta s German soldier with fixed bayonet
rfcecliBg the Emperor's ad van do on ths
Jihine, and Maying, "Yen, and oven if you
were the Pttit i'uporal himself, J'd say,
rick." 11 febd-ls published lm'ljr tuo
title of 'Zivndnale!n" take a more ambitions
flight and show better drawing. English
and Belgian neutrality is handled in
one sketch which shows England giving
rifles to the French with one hand and taking
money with the other, while Belgium Is
making pets of the French soldiers. In
another Bismarck is rejecting the overtures
of a motley crowd of representatives of neu
tral powers, among whom John Bull figures
in an imposing court suit and chancellor's
wig. He tells them he can make no nse of
their proposals, and that they had better write
back to their bouses to say that his firm has
already, Nicderlngenin Frankreich gemacht,"
that its Alsace and Lorraine branches are
firmly established, and that for the future
the House of Germania means to do business
on its own account. If this is to be taken as
an indication of the popular feeling, it does
not look well for the chances of intervention.
Another subject dealt with by the German
caricaturists is the attention lavished on the
captive Turcos by the German ladies. They
appear to feel strongly in this matter. In one
picture the olficer in command of . the escort
addresses a bevy of ladies who are
dallying with some very hideous Africans on
a railway platform "Now, then, ladies, if
you want to kiss those blaok pets of yours
make haste, for the train's going to start.'
Another is a view of an imaginary "Ileiraths
Bureau fur Tnrkos," in which Turcos, drawn
aa like monkeys as possible, are being made
fierce love to by a number of German dam
sels. One lady is showing her affection after
the fashion prevalent in monkey society by
relieving her beloved of what we may de
scribe, by a convenient phrase borrowed
from "Lothair," his "social parasites." There
is considerable drollery about the wood-cuts
to a comic history of the war in several
sheets, in which all the incidents are
given in due order, from the flight
of the Queen of Spain and the offer
of the crown to Prince Leopold
down to the capitulation of bedan. Ihese
will in time be a great boon to the youthful
student of history, for every scene has its
illustration from the garden interview at
Elms to Bismarck in bed receiving the news
of the Emperor s surrender. Even the his
torical two chairs have their portraits. The
venerable Klaclacraaatsclt, of course, has in
a grave way his illustrated jokes about the
war. The unlucky complimentary speech of
the Bavarian to the Crown Prince about beat
ing those confounded Prussians in 1800 fur.
nishes one. Another is a scene in Nancy
where a landwehr-man asks across a counter
for a groschen's worth of their "famous
irencnelan, to wnicn tne shopkeeper re
plies that they have been long out of the
article; but the most comical are the
illustrations to a skit npon the geography and
imagination of the French war correspond
ents. There is a grotesque view of
the bombardmens of Potsdam by the
French - iron-clad fleet, and another
still more spirited of the storming by
Zouaves ot the fortress of Buckow, which,
by the way, is described as a mountain strong
hold on the Swiss frontier, and the key of
Pomerania and Bavaria. Two of the Punch
cartoons, especially the duel scene, seom to
rival the native article in popularity, and
another adaptation from abroad is the
famous comio French map of Earope,
which came out at the beginning of
the war, and which has been modified
to suit German views; the bloated landwehr-
man grasping Holland and South Germany
being changed into a comely but determined
young Prusbian, wholly intent upon driving
tus antagonist tne Zouave into a corner.
This, perhaps, may. be a kind of pictorial
manifesto in answer to certain Belgian cari
catures attributing sinister designs to Prussia,
such as the "Gateau Bolge," where a Prus
sian and a Frenchman are represented cutting
into a mighty cake, out of which steps a Bel
gian rifleman with fixed bayonet, while a
British soldier and sailor back him np, the
latter showing that formidable rope's end
which appears to have now become the recog
nized symbol of naval force.

and a small boat from the Y yman put off to her.
When Captain La Chere first saw the Wyman she
was about six miles distant., nying signals of dis

on board the burning ship. When he boarded her

were hot, the smoke escaping through the seams.
He tried the pump of the water-tank and the main
pumps, and found the water in the tank, which con
tained nearly lO.ooo gallons, nearly boiling. He
made as close an examination of the tire as circuuv
stances would permit, and then told Captain Wyman
that he thought mere was not tne slightest possi
bility of saving his vessel, that she was on . Ore fore
