LARGE PICT ESy
WHY WILL YOU Be HUMBuGGED -?

As certain parties are now travelling
through this county humbugging folks
by soliciting old pictures to be copied,
representing that they will do it cheaper
than any one else, | propose to give you
a few facts in relation to them. In the
first place the pictures that they deliver
are common plate pictures-enlarged tin
types-for which they charge you from
20 to 60 per cent. more than | charge
for the same kind of picture, Tor the
very reason that they are obliged to pay
express both ways, also to pay the ex-
penses of the travelling agent, all of
which you will save by getting your
work done nearer home. My work is
all done in my own shop, finishing and
all, Notwithstanding the Concord agents
statement to the contrary and you will
find it to your interest to bring your
work here to be done, as | warrant my
work as good as the best and cheaper
than can be done by sending it away
Also. you will find my work just what it
is represented to be. as | shall not palm
off tin-type for an India ink picture.

A writer in the American Journal of
Microscopy has been exploring the for
ests of bristles in hair brush surrepti-
tiously purloined from a lady's toilet
stand, and though it contained nothing
which we are accustomed to regard with
unqualified horror, the results of his in
vestigations prove that there are mys-
teries ordinarily undreamed of in simple
appliances eff the toilet. There are con-
cealed in the damp lint of hair brushes,
unless kept clean by the use of bicarbon-
ate of potassia or carbonate of soda,
many living things, too small for detec-
ton by the naked eye, some of which,
we are told. are of more than suspicious
character, being known as the origina-
tors of scaldhead and other diseases of
the scalp. The author concludes his ar
ticle by a caution against wetting the
head, recommending dry brushing in
stead. He also recommends the use of
weak solution of carbonic acid or sui
phate of soda as cleaning material for
hair brushes

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA,-The
wall of China is greater wonder than
the Pyramids of Egypt, and must have
been heavy drain on the wealth and
labor of the empire when 1t was built.
Mr.. Seward has some interesting COM
ments on it:
The Chinese have been for at least
two or three thousand years wall-mak-
ing people. 1t would bankrupt New
York or Paris to build the walls of the
city,of Pekin. The great wall of China
is the great wall of the world 1t is
forty feet high. The lower thirty feet
is of hewn limestone or granite. Two
modern carriages may pass each 9TH
er on its summit. 1t has parapet
throughout its whole length, with con-
venient staircases, buttresses, and garri-
son houses at every quarter of a mile,
and it runs, not by cutting down hills
and raising valleys, but over the uneven
crests of the mountains, and down
through their gorges, distance of one
thousand miles Admiral Rodgers and
| calculated that it would cost more now
to build the great wall of China, through
its extent of one thousand miles, than it
has cost to build the fifty-fve thousand
miles of railroad in the United States.
What commentary it is upon the ephem-
eral range of the human intellect, to see
this great utilitarian enterprise, 50 nee
essary and effective two thousand years
ago, now not merely useless, but an en-
cumbrance and an obstruction

Mr.. Greeley, on his farm, keeps run
ming account with hens, double entry.
When hen lays an egg she runs around
the bases, and when she strikes the home
base, where the book-keeper is located,
she sings out, Tally one, or lilly
two,' as the case may be, because some
of them are repeaters; and the book
keeper gives her credit, and charges her
for her meals. In this way Horace can
tell what hens are Sinking, and how
much he makes on each hen. He says
that his experience is that ROSTERS are
glazing fraud, putting on style all
around, and never laying an egg once in

THE LAST NEW WORD.

Senator Sumner has the credit of COIN
Ing the last new word ''ridiculosity =
Some poetic genius thus relieves his mind
in regard to it.
SLOWLY rolled forth the novel sound
'Ridculosity,'
From out the classic mouth Of great
'Preponderosity;'
And through the Senatorial hall,
With great velocity,
Echoed from mouth to mouth the word
.Ridiculosityr
Sure Worcester never dared to write
Ridiculosity;
Nor Webster either murmured they,
With grim ferocity.
Is there of terms gigantic them
So great paucity,
That we must coin this fearful one

DOUBLE TROUBLE.-Poor Mr.. Camp is
in peck of trouble again. That great
ugly Chase has been and gone and took
a couple of ''locals" out of the Erpress

and put them in the Union, and did
not gice any ''credtt." Pretty rough
But this is not the worst of it. That
little Monitor editor went and copied
them from the Union and gave Chase the
credit of aOrfting them. 1t was an
oversight on our part, in not noticing
that the same items had been in the Er-
press before they were in the Union, for
which we beg pardon, Mr. Camp. In
consequence of this mistake, Mr.
Camp accuses us of stealing his thun-
der Now, if it is not too much trouble,
we want our readers to hunt up the last
weeks MONITOR, look under the head of
Island Pond locals, and read them over
again, and remember that Chase didn't
write them; Camp a0rote them. But,
Camp, why make such 'sgreat cry" over
so small thing, when you know as well
as We do that there is hardly a week but
you take more or less locals from the

care nothing about this; but
hadn't you better get an OK team and try
