A garbled 1878 issue contains ads for groceries and cabinet ware, along with professionals such as architects and dentists. It also includes scattered prose on Mexican women, career guidance, science notes on nitroglycerin, and anecdotes about gambling and language among costermongers.
A distorted archival fragment discusses public taste, class and virtue, noting a class labeled enterprising seeks to serve dirty themes while claiming taste. It mentions vice, crime, and ambitions to imitate sensational journalism, with references to families and societal appetite for scandal.
A fragmentary critique cites a bankrupt clergyman and his wife as a humorous example, mocking clergy, Quakers, and others for credulity. The text recalls a New York society where members confess invented or false facts, satirizing solemnities and social pretenses.
