What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements** for furniture, carpets, and furnishing goods from late 19th-century New York businesses (Arnold Constable, B.M. Cowperthwait & Co., Jordan & Moriarty). The center contains **brief satirical pieces** rather than illustrated cartoons, including humorous anecdotes about: - An elderly man's lawn party (possibly mocking upper-class social rituals) - A street confrontation involving someone named Hazard and police intervention - Various social commentary on urban life and class differences The pieces reference newspapers like the *Boston Post*, *Rochester Express*, and *Louisville Courier-Journal*, suggesting Puck reprinted humor from regional sources. **No major political figures or clear caricatures are visible.** The satire targets general social pretensions and urban incidents rather than specific political events or personalities.

Herald, % Wuen the old gentleman comes home and finds his daughters have got his slippers and the easy chair and the evening paper ready for him, he realizes that it is the season for a fall opening of his pocket-book.— Boston Post. Mr. Hazarp, of Vaucluse, R. I., recently gave a lawn party to the spirits of his dead relatives. We hazard the opinion that it didn’t cost Hazard much for the cream and other re- freshments. If a man is economical, he will wait until his relations are dead before he gives them a lawn party.—Worristown Herald, Kearney sent up his card to General Grant, yesterday, He was snubbed! actually snubbed. ‘The ex-President wouldn't see him. Fellow- Greenbackers, do you recognize the full im- port of this terrible outrage? This insult to the greatest man of any age must be washed out in gore, blood, bile, gastric and pancreatic juice, carotid secretions, and chyle! It, must, indeed. But how does a workingman find time to carry cards and go visiting ?— Rochester Express. Tue Methodists respectfully request the Com- mittee of Arrangements nof to have the recep- tion of General Grant on Sunday. The Jew- ish Sanhedrim respectfully request that the reception be on any day but Saturday. No- thing has been heard from the Mohammedans about Friday, nor from the Old Saxons about Thursday, nor from anybody else about any other day. But we respectfully request that General Grant be invited to turn Chinaman, for this occasion only; unless it seems easier to turn the Methodists and the Sanhedrim into Platt’s Hall, and let them fight it out between them.—S. ¥, News Letter, “Most people have no idea of the kind of a person Iam; [ live in a different world from the common run of men.” ‘ You are kind of winged.” ‘ You have no knowledge of it; but ma philosopher. I have a large tree in my back yard—a mighty tree with enormous branches, I sometimes take a drink, and, with hat off, stand beneath that tree, and think and think and think—” “How to get another drink,” suggested his sympathetic friend.— Louisville Courier-Journal, It is feared an epidemic will break out in Oil City if the interest in the walking-match continues. A group of men, born of poor but honest parents, of hitherto respectable repu- tation and having families to support, met on the street last night, and under the pale light of the innocent moon in which the telegraph poles looked like grim spectres standing upright as if protesting against such outrages, con- versed as follows: “Have you the Hart to tell me how the score stands?” The one questioned turned pale and trem- bled, but with true Grecian pluck said, ‘“ Jack- son yet and Merritts great praise for his en- durance.”” “ Hazael get there probably,” said another, and then fainted. As they picked him up one-said, “If this thing continues a Rowell probably occur’ “You're Guyon us,” lisped another. “‘ Weston may tell a different Taylor two be- fore it ends, so don’t be Krohne over it:now,”” said a man whom people never suspected of being anything else but respectable. “T see Ennis still on the track,” philoso- phized a broker. “Oh! Feder my ear,” yelled a street gamin who had been listening, but the infuriated crowd promptly chased the lad into a corner and he was rescued from their clutches only by the aid of the police.— Ox!
