What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and notices** rather than political satire. The main content includes ads for: - **Apollinaris Natural Mineral Water** ("Queen of Table Waters") - **Kurtz Portraits** photography studio in New York - **Sherry Portraits** (also photography) - **Mathesius & Frey Cabinet Furniture** - **German Liederkranz Summernights Festival** (June 13, 1879) There are brief **poetic excerpts** and humorous observations about Canadian summers and nature in the margins, but these appear to be filler rather than targeted satire. One short news item discusses **Governor Rice of Massachusetts**, noting skepticism about the President being "disquieted" — mild political commentary rather than satire. The page reflects Puck's mixed business model: satirical magazine supplemented by paid advertisements to sustain operations.

A few days after the Boston Globe changed from an eight- page Republican paper to a four-page Demo- cratic sheet, the Governor issued a proclama. tion appointing April 11th as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer.— Norristown Herald. ‘Tue dispatches assure us “the President is not afraid or disquieted.” Such assurances are needless, ‘The President has shown all along that he is not a timid man, His past life has shown that he is not deficient in courage. No- body expects him to be afraid. We don’t want him to get frightened. We want him to get mad. Mad. Mad as thunder.— Hawkeye. We record with professional pride that the Buffalo Zxpress predicted that Stewart's Hotel for women would be a failure, seven years before Stewart was born. At least the /-xpress says so, and the rotundity, the grasp, the reach, the depth and hold and breadth of beam, the alti- tude, the expansive proportions on general principles of such a lie is simply beautiful to contemplate.— Rochester Express.
