PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
[April 16, 1859.
Our friend Mr. Blobbins's Stereoscopic studies arc suddenly assisted by two young friends,
who oblige him with an illustration of " differing angles."
A DISINTERESTED INQUIRER.
Industry, such as that chronicled in the subjoined
paragraph from a contemporary, ought to be rewarded
" Hairs of the Head numbered.—The Medical Times says, a Ger-
man savant has taken the trouble to count the number of hairs exist-
ing in four heads of hair, of different colours. He found in a blond,
140,409 distinct hairs; in a brown, 109,440, in a black, 102,960, and in
a red, 88,740."
Such trouble is the more deserving of some material
recompense, inasmuch as it is not likely to have been
remunerated by the moral and intellectual gratification
which attends a scientific discovery, particularly one that
is of any use. Unless all the four heads were of the same
size, it would be impossible to draw any conclusion, from
the relative numbers of the hairs of each, as to the average
of such heads of hair, except, indeed, the biggest heads
had the fewest hairs, and even that would not prove much.
It would be necessary to lay a great many heads together
in order to generalise safely concerning their propor-
tionate hairiness; and then, though the utility of the
generalisation might be vast, it would not be obvious.
Continental philosophers are fond of honours; and
perhaps a title would be, if not the most acceptable
present that this one could be offered, at least the most
valuable that his country could very well afford. His
field of research may have been a barren domain • but it
would be graceful to create so diligent a numberer a
Count.
The Money Market.
The Indian Correspondent of the Timet says, " Opium
is to the Malwa banker what bullion is to the Bank of
England." We have heard of money being a drug, but
here a drug is literally money. However, we think we
should prefer the "rest" of' the Bank of England to
a rest that was the feverish result of opium. No wonder
that the money market of Bombay is in such a collapsed
state. It must experience the greatest difficulty in rising
with so much opium in its system.
A "Duck of a Doctor."—Generally, a Quack.
BENJAMIN'S ELECTION ADDRESS.

When, last year, to save the country, I and Derby office took,
Of accounts in the Exchequer, Derby made me his head cook:

Chorut. That saviour of the country, which his name is Disraelee !
So now, my Bucks, take warning ! you '11 repent it, if you won't:

And serve your Queen and Country, by electing Disraelee !—*
