What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. The dominant content includes: - **Steinway pianos** advertisement (large center section) promoting their instruments' success at "every World's Fair" - **Boker's Bitters** patent medicine ad - **Photographer** services (347 East 14th Street) - **Dental offices** and **dental rooms** advertisements - **International Banking Company** notice - A **Masquerade Ball** announcement for January 13, 1879 The top portion contains brief humorous winter-themed verses about cold weather, typical of Puck's lighter content filler. The page also features two champagne bottle illustrations advertising "Piper-Heidsieck" wine. This appears to be a standard magazine issue page mixing entertainment content with commercial advertisements rather than sustained political or social satire.

PUCK. WINTER DOGGEREL, Tue winter is here! ha, ha! he, he! And white is the tangled heather; And soon will the pedagogue snowballed be. Which is no bald assertion either. — Yonkers Gasette. Yes, the winter is here! ha, hal he, he! And we've laid in a big jar of butter; And while you will slip on the icy walks, We'll sail swiftly past in a cutter. —Detroit Free Press Yes, winter is here! ha, ha! he, he! And we'll sip the flowing nectar, With our corns in a sling, and the sleigh bells ring And a red flannel chest-protector. — Claude de Haven, Yes, the winter is here! ha, ha! he, he! As snug as a bug in a rug; A pile of hot cakes on our plate shall be "Neath lasses—s-p-p! -out of the jug. — Whitehall Times. Yes, winter is here! ha, ha! he,,hel With apples, and doughnuts, and cider; With parties, and balls, and evening calls, And sausage served hot from the spider. —Rome Sentinel. “Cues! what’s yo’ ‘pinion ob de iyster?” “Well, 'Relyus, I calls de iyster de mos’ know- in’ ob yarbs; ef ye puts ‘im in yer mouf he takes de htnt an’ makes de res’ ob de vyage widout any boostin’.""— Yonkers Gazette, Tuis is an awfully wicked old world. An Indianapolis clergyman told me he went to hear Colonel Ingersoll lecture on “Some Mistakés of Moses,” and saw more of his church members there than he bad seen at prayer-meeting in six months. — Burlington Hawkeye. ““Mrs. Hayes has had the White House cel- lar fitted up with potato bins, shelves for pump- kins and squashes, and racks to hold apples, after the manner of her own cellar at home.” We always believed that the Hayes family’s ad- ministration would distinguish itself in time.— San Francisco News-Letter, A Titusvitte paper says “all our humorists have left the platform because they could not make the people laugh, except Artemus Ward and Eli Perkins.” ‘The ‘Titusville editor prob- ably doesn’t know that Artemus Ward has also left the platform. Ifthe genial showman was still living, he would certainly leave it long enough to make a journey to Titusville and kill the man who names him in the same breath with Eli Perkins, — Morristown Herald, A New York ,correspondent writes to an out-of-the-city joarnal that “Mrs, Morgan Dix has a garnet-velvet bonnet with a tufting of ostrich tips of a lighter shade; Mrs. Marshall O. Roberts has a gown of olive-green satin and brocade, made with a Genevieve train and a Balsamo basque; Mrs. Hicks Lord has a black satin carriage dress, made without an overskirt, and with a border of chinchilla a foot deep.” ‘This sort of news is not of a nature to startle the general reader, but why didn’t the cor- respondent go on and say that Bridget McGul- ligan has a frock of blue drilling pinned up in front— when she is at the wash-tub; Miss Ann O'Flahertie has a shawl that cost two dollars and-a-half fifteen years ago, and wears a pair of hob-nailed shoes slightly run down at the heel; and Katrina Schlosswhacker has a coat made out of her grandmother’s, and a bonnet built after the pattern of one that came over in the Mayflower. ‘here is lots of such news lying around loose in New York, and it affords better reading than grave robberies, cipher dis- patches, etc.— Norristown Herald, e POND'S EXTRACT.—The Great Family Medicine of the Age differs from all advertised preparations, in the fact that It is a standard medicine of thousands of families for all the minor ailments, accidents or ‘casualties that have occurred among them.
