by the name of Purgatory. Are we to understand that it is Paradise in Texas
and Purgatory in Pennsylvania ?
PHILATELIC MONSTROSITIES.
All collectors, both young and old, at some period of their collecting, meet
with a lot of worthless trash, in the way of so-called surcharged stamps. A
greater portion of these monstrosities are manufactured solely for the pur-
pose of disposal to collectors and never intended as a factor in the pre-pay-
ment of postage. They are generally made by some individual, indentified
in some way or other with the postal authorities, who, for a consideration,
have some small government surcharge to order the various denominations,
least used, thereby not only increasing the treasury of those unscrupulous
governments, but causing to become rare such stamps, surcharged; while at
the same time making unsightly specimens of good ones, and unworthy of a
place in your album.
Now to collectors, we would say: DO NOT COLLECT SURCHARGEDA
