This article is from the _Buffalo Express_, October 2, 1869. It is included in the collection _Mark Twain at the Buffalo Express_, edited by Joseph B. McCullough and Janice McIntire- Strasburg, p. 62-64. The original heading was "The Latest Novelty / Mental Photographs." The article was often reprinted over the years without a citation to the original publication. For example, the San Francisco _Call_ reprinted a portion of it as late as July 2, 1905. Newspapers frequently used Twain material as "filler." Tracing first appearances becomes a challenge as more and more historic newspapers become text searchable and when the material had been edited to make it seem like a new interview or speech. Barb
