AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
Frem. 73.— Orguinette ‘ 
No. 73. — “The Orguinette.” — A Capi¬ 
tal Musical Instrument, for the million—for those who 
have had no time or opportunity to learn to play, yet who 
desire music in the house—at far less expense, and in far 
greater variety than is supplied by the Music Box,or Hand- 
Organ. The Orguinette has the usual Parlor-Organ or Me- 
lodeon reeds, with a email, but effective wind-bellows, 
and in sweetness of tone, brilliancy, promptness of ac¬ 
tion. etc., is quite remarkable for a musical instrument 
of so moderate a cost. The notes are most ingeniously 
and yet simply produced by the passage through the in¬ 
struments of strips of perforated paper, the apertures so 
arranged as to open the keys and produce just the notes, 
and length of sound on each, required by the pieces play¬ 
ed. These may be church music, lively souuding airs, 
national, and operatic selections, quadrilles, etc. The 
prepared perforated paper is sold at low rales (Oi cents 
per foot), and from the catalogue one may select any 
amount and variety of tunes desired, and at sma" cost. 
Any one desiring further description of the instrument, 
can send for circulars to the Mechanical Orguinette 
Co., No. 11 East. 14th St., New York. We offer two va¬ 
rieties. Premium No. 73, the Orguinette “C” (illus¬ 
trated in the engraving), has the “ Expression Box,-’ 
giving a variety of pleasing effects, by simply raising 
and lowering the lid. 14 feet of the perforated music 
paper go with this. This will be presented for 15 sub¬ 
scribers at $1.50 each. [It will be supplied complete by 
us, for $14.00], expressage to be paid by the receiver. 
No. 74 is the Orguinette “A,” differing from 
“C " in the omission of the “Expression Box.” Price 
with 14 feet of music paper, $8.00, for which price we will 
supply it: or we will present, it for 10 subscribers at 
$1.50 each. Expressage paid by recipient in either case. 
No. 75.-5Jniversa! Clothes Wringer. 
—(See Engraving below.) — A very -useful , time-saving , 
strength-saving , clolhes-saving implement, that should 
be in every family. Here is a thing that is of great value, 
“and no mistake about it," It will pay for itself several 
times a year, in any family. The wringing out of clothes 
by hand Is hard upon the hands, arms, and chest, and the 
twisting stretches and breaks the fibres with lever power. 
With this Wringing Machine, the garments are passed 
rapidly between clastic rollers, which press the water 
out better than hand wringing, and as fast as one can 
pick up the articles. A most important feature of this 
Universal Clothes Wringer is the peculiar cog-wheel ar¬ 
rangement, which makes both rollers turn together, 
and always keep their place. Without these, the crauk- 
roner will slip, and pull 
the fibres, and injure the 
fabric. A multitude of 
letters of thanks for 
these Machines, given 
by us as Premiums, have 
been received. It is 
easy to gather a t the reg¬ 
ular rate of $1.50 each, 
only 10 subscribers, 
and this will secure a 
j -present of one of these 
very valuable $7.50 Uni¬ 
versal Wringers. They 
are made by the Metro- 
„ politan Washing Ma¬ 
chine Co., and furnish¬ 
ed by R. C. Browning. 32 Cortlandt St., N. Y. [We 
will supply one of these valuable machines oil re¬ 
ceipt of the price, $7.50]. Receiver to pay expressage.

No. 80. - German Student Lamp. — 
This lamp is known the world over for its beauty and 
steadiness of light, ils superiority in economy, safety, 
etc. C. F. A. IIinrichs, 
of 31 Park Place, New 
York, lias made many 
valuable improvements In 
their construction. He is 
the Patentee of the “ Saint 
Germain, o r Geiman 
Study or Office Lamp," 
made by C. A. Keclmami. 
This lamp includes the va¬ 
rious latest improvements, 
such as the Enlarged 
Fount, shut off at the bop 
tom (a great security 
against accidents in fill¬ 
ing), Improved Chimney- 
IIokler,etc.,(None genuine 
without the name of C. F. 
A. IIinrichs on the Chim¬ 
ney-Holder). We use these 
lamps in all rooms in the 
house (kitchen included), 
and would exchange them 
for no other method of 
lighting yet known to us. The price of the St. Germain 
German Study Lamp is reduced to $5 for (he large eizo

No. 81.—A Cane Cun (or Cun Cane'. 
—This is a remarkably convenient and effective weapon, 
which, when not in use, has all the appearance of a fine 
ebony, or hard-rubber Cane, and yet it can, in an instant, 
be changed to a Rifle (or Shot gun) which shoots accu¬ 
rately and to a long distance as ft rifle of 32-100 calibre 
(or 22-100 when preferred). The writer recently carried 
one many thousand miles, simply tied with an um¬ 
brella by means of a rubber strap. It attracted no atten¬ 
tion save when explained, and then it excited the admi¬ 
ration of all who saw it. On one occasion a hawk was 
shot from the top of a tree over 80 feet high, and sundry 
small birds desired for preserving ns specimens, were 
killed with the shot cartridges—a new device in which 
65 No. 8 shot are packed in a peculiar cartridge that 
holds them together while in the barrel, and prevents 
their leading the grooving. The upper engraving shows 
the cane as it ordinarily appears—the head and covering 
of polished black rubber.. The lower engrav¬ 
ing shows one end only. A smallfught, at the 
lower end is shown in the upper cut. The 
Cartridge (at c) is put in by opening the cane 
—it uses the ordinary long or short “32,” or 
the shot cartridge. With a “long32” cartridge 
we have pierced five pine boards, each one inch thick._ 
It is entirely safe. To use it, a quick vigor¬ 
ous pull opens the cane at c, the rear sight s 
flies up, and the two sights being far apart, 
pretty accurate range is obtained. Depress¬ 
ing the small trigger (a) fires the charge, 
but only when specially set for firing. A cork 
or plug in the lower end to keep out dirt, fits 
the cane for a good walking stick. The 32-100 
size weighs 29 ouneos; diameter of cane Xlhs

No. 79. — The National Wire HVJat- 
tress.-— Everybody wants a good Bed One who sleeps 
well, will do more and better work of body and mind, 
and enjoy better health, and live longer. This premium 
will help to sleeping comfortably. It is manufactured 
bv the National Wire Mattress Co., New Britain, 
Conn. It will be observed, by reference to the en¬ 
graving, that the Mattress is made on what the manu¬ 
facturers claim a mechanical principle; that it never 
can 6ag; that it will never rust in any climate; 
that It. can be taken apart and folded up to occupy 
but little space, and that it is the only one getting its 
elasticity from wire-tempered Springs. Those who have 
used these Mattresses, several of whom are among our 
Editors, pronounce them in every way desirable. To any 
one sending us only 12 subscriptions, at $1.60 each, we 
will forward one of these hods. Receiver to pay freight. 
We prefer the larger size, but either size is supplied at 
the same price ($10). It is thoroughly made by the Rem¬ 
ington Works, and is supplied to us by A. Alford, 
283 Broadway, New York. Ours has been fired some 200 
times, or more, and is in perfect order. For lightness as 
a cane, and for mere target practice, the 32-100 calibre 
answers ; we prefer the 32-100 calibre for most effective 
shooting. We will present one of either calibre desired, 
in return for only 12 subscriptions, at $1.50 each. (,0r 
send one on receipt of $10], Expressage to be paid by 
recipient. The ball cartridges can be obtained anywhere. 
The shot cartridges are a new invention, as yet only 
made 22 100, 32-100, and 38-100, and are not yet generally 
obtainable. They cost about 85 cents per box of 59, at 
retail. We will send one box of these (32-100) for ehch 
additional subscriber at $1.50, or send, with the gun, 
one or more boxes at 50 cents per box, when desired.
