THE NEW ZOOLOGICAL SPECIMENS.

(Scene in the Zoological Gardens, London.—JOHN BULL is showing his Foreign Friend, NAPOLEON, the wonders of the place, and they are standing at an Inclosure looking at Two Extraordinary Creatures—a compound of Fox and Rattlesnake—MASON and SLIDELL.) NAPOLEON. " Diable ! Vat Strange Beasts ! Vat you call him, Mr. BULL?"

JOHN BULL (mournfully). "Them is two HAMBASSADORS I just got from Hamerica. Nasty Hexpensive Hanimals ! I could 'ave laid the Hatlantic Cable with what they cost me."

CAMERON. "Good-by, WELLES ! I'm off for Russia ! There's too much talk of HANGING here to suit me!"

AGENTS—Nothing which has been brought to public notice for years past has

Created such a Furore as that truly useful article, the McClellan Portable Writing Desk.

This desk is something Entirely New and Novel, and combines points of excellence never before introduced in one article. It obtained favor with the public at once, and the demand for it was so great that our large stock was Exhausted in a Few Days, and we were compelled to stop the sale. With increased facilities for manufacturing, we are now prepared to keep up with the Unprecedented Demand. For the soldier this desk is just the thing, being so light and portable that it can be Carried in the Knapsack. Those having friends in the army should not fail to send them one. For the same amount of writing material as we give in this desk for 25 cents sutlers charge $1.

Agents whose orders have not been filled, will now be attended to promptly.

Each Desk contains the following articles:—

6 Sheets Commercial Note Paper.

6 Sheets Ladies' Billet Paper.

6 Sheets Ladies' Note Paper.

6 McClellan Envelopes.

6 Buff Envelopes.

6 Cream Colored Envelopes.

1 Bottle Ink.

We give a better article of Stationery, and more of it, than any of those who Try to Imitate Us. We put in valuable recipes, which they can not do, as we are protected by copyright. We do not conceal the contents of our packages by sealing them. Agents will find it to their interest to send for our circular, which we will mail to them free. We want agents all over the civilized world. From $5 to $10 a day can be made by agents.
