By the same Artist. No. 143. The Right Hon. A.J. BALFOUR, M.P., as seen by L. ALMA-TADEMA, R.A. Taken while considering No. 147. The Irish Question as represented by Sir FREDERICK LEIGHTON, P.R.A.'s "_Perseus and Andromeda_." Allegory, _Andromeda_, Ireland. _The Monster_, "Parnellism and Crime;" and _Perseus_, BALFOUR. Marvellous Monster! DRURIOLANUS should at once order a dozen of 'em, hot and strong, for next Christmas Pantomime. Poor Miss ANNE DROMEDA,--"a dainty morsel _a croquer_," quoth the Monster. No. 148. No possible doubt whatever about this being A. BERTIE; FREEMAN-MITFORD, C.B., painted by the President of the Painters, who has hit him off to the life. B.M. is taken at the moment when, as a spectator of the Perseus and Andromeda _ballet d'action_, he remembers having seen something like it in "Old Japan." No. 201. "_Poor Tom's a Cold!_" LAURENCE SCOTT. Picture illustrating the shortest and easiest way of catching his death of cold. No. 206.

"Is it one o'clock?" she said to herself, anxiously. "I hope luncheon will be punctual." The picture will be known as "_Grace before Meals_," delightfully (of course) painted by Sir JOHN E. MILLAIS. No. 232. By the P.R.A. "What's that?" said one well-educated clerical visitor to his matronly wife. She read it out, pronouncing it thusly, "_Return of Percy Fone_." "What!" exclaimed the Clergyman. Then, taking the Catalogue into his own hands, he read "_Return of Persephone_." "It's pronounced," he informed his help-mate, "Per-s[)e]ph-[)o]-n[)e]." "Is it?" she returned, in a tone expressive of unmitigated incredulity. "Then," she asked suddenly, as a brilliant idea struck her, "why isn't 'telephone' pronounced 'tel-[)e]ph-[)o]-n[)e]'?" And turning her back on him, would not hear another word on the subject. No. 283. _Not Crossley, but Kindly_. CLAUDE CALTHROP. No. 333. _Professor Huxley_. By Hon. JOHN COLLIER. When it isn't the Professor, it might serve for Sir GEORGE GROVE. Bravo, Honourable JOHN! "Hang him, JOHN COLLIER!" (SHAKSPEARE adapted.) No. 390. A Boy to the very life, or a Life Boy. JAMES SANT, R.A. It's a picture of Master HUGH BURDETT MONEY
