What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and commercial content** rather than political satire. The dominant image shows a large pear with a face and wings—the mascot for **G. Humm & Co.'s Champagne**, advertising their 1878 importation of 35,906 cases and additional stock. Below are advertisements for: - **Puck Cigarettes** by B. Pollak - **Hotel Brighton** (Brighton Beach, Coney Island) - **Fred. Schuber's Sea Side Grove** (Rockaway Beach) - **Madison Square Garden** (Gilmore's venue) - Various other commercial establishments The small text snippets at page top contain brief humorous anecdotes typical of *Puck's* satirical style, but the page itself functions primarily as a revenue-generating advertising vehicle rather than presenting coherent political or social commentary.

Tue June number of a prominent London magazine contains an article on the United States by a well-informed Englishman. Spcak- ing of Washington, he says: ‘I saw the White House; it is a low, two-storied one, white in color, situated in the centre of a small farm, close to the town, President Evart, the pre- sent occupant, has sat for nearly eight years in the President's chair.” This a little more cor- rect than the average English writer gets it, but it is a little remarkable that he has nothing to say about Rutherford B. Hayes, Commissioner of the District of Columbia; or Carl Schurz, Speaker of the House; or President Evarts’s private secretary, John Sherman; or Samuel J. Randall, Chief of Police.
