AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
/ Frem. 88.— Orguinette “C 
No. 88. — “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 small, 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 sounding airs, 
national, and operatic selections, quadrilles, etc. The 
prepared perforated paper is sold at low rates (Of cents 
per foot), and from the catalogue one may select any 
amount and variety of tunes desired, and at small cost. 
Any one desiring further description of the instrument, 
can send for circulars to the Mechanical Orguinette 
Co., No. 831 Broadway, New York. We offer two va¬ 
rieties. Premium No. 8S, 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 mneic 
paper go with this. This will be presented for 15 sub¬ 
scribers at $1.50 each. [It will be supplied complete by

No. 90.—“Gem ” Klagic Lantern.—The 
Gem is a new style of Magic Lantern, designed especially 
for the amusement and instruction of the young ; and in¬ 
tended to supersede the imported “ Toy ” Magic Lanterns, 
over which it possesses the following advantages: The 
Body of the Gem Magic Lantern is convenient in form—is 
substantially made of strong tin, neatly japanned, and will 
last for years. The Lenses are of excellent quality, accu¬ 
rately ground and polished, and define the views clearly 
upon the screen. The Light is obtained by the use of an 
improved candle in a 
patented carrier, which 
keeps the flame con¬ 
stantly in the central 
line of the lenses, and 
yields a good illumina¬ 
tion. As there is no oil 
or fluid of any kind, 
cleanliness is the result, 
and a child can safely 
operate the Gem Magic 
Lantern without diffi¬ 
culty. The Magnifying 
Power is abundant, and 
the Views can be dis¬ 
tinctly enlarged to three 
feet in diameter, or 
larger. The Slides are neatly finished, and highly colored. 
Made by Thos. H. McAllister, Manufacturing Optician, 
49 Nassau St., New York. We also include -with Lantern
