By the aid of an improved process, Mannington is taking photographs that beat life, all holler. We had our face divine taken on past-board, the other day, and so perfectly natural was the picture, that every rat left our cellar, on its being hung up there. Seriously, we never saw better—nor so good—pictures as those taken by Mannington with the assistance of Walter, who, by the way, is a genius of the first water, and we advise our people to obtain them for self and children, without delay.
