What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and miscellaneous content** rather than political satire. The dominant feature is a large "Puck's Archaiques" section containing brief humorous anecdotes and observations—social commentary rather than partisan satire. Topics include a doctor's house call, a wealthy Tilden heir, and various amusing incidents involving horses, glass breaking, and romantic escapades. The rest of the page consists of period advertisements: Jones department store, shipping lines, jewelry stores, beer breweries, and novelty items. The only illustrated cartoon element is a small "Mummery of Masonry" notice at bottom left. Unlike typical Puck political cartoons, this page emphasizes light social humor and commercial advertising, with no identifiable political figures or partisan commentary visible.

Yonkers Gasette, “I am going to break up that meeting, if I leave there a corpse.” ‘These -heroic words of Kearney’s will be repeated by the rising reform- ers of all coming time with emotions of pride and gratitude, and whatever else is pretty good ; for the meeting was. not broken up, bat the corpse of Kearney did leave it, It was not a pleasant corpse before, but now it is one of the deadest poor things that ever were forgotten. —S. F, News-Letter. Ay English savant professes to have discov- ered that Diogenes didn’t live in a tub, but in a wine-jar—a sort of overgrown earthenware pitcher without a handle. He says tubs were of Gallic origin, accotding to Pliny, and Dio- genes could have known nothing of them. A nice sort of man, he is, to rob Diogenes of his tub, in which he has done business, as you might say, for hundreds of years. He will next inform us that that ancient philosopher didn’t go about Athens hunting a man, or if he did carry an illuminator around the streets he was looking for his girl, Perhaps he would like to prove to us that Demosthenes didn’t talk with pebbles in his mouth in order to overcome a habit of stuttering, but that they were lozen- ges, recommended for sore throat. Let that man keep on, and there won't be anything left regarding the ancients worth lying about to the children.— Cin.
