Isaac G. Jenkins, a wholesale merchant, of Syr¬

" E " also of carmine geranium, and the “ L " and 
" O ” of alternate Swiss violets and ageratum. The 
•• Welcome ” was the ODly floral motto.

THE MACKINNON PEN. 
An Entirely New Writing 1 Instrument 
for Desk or Pocket. 
Writes seventy-five pa?es of foolscap with one filling, on any paper, 
with any clean writing or copying ink. 
Tns Point is a> smooth as diamond can be polUbed, is conical in shape, 
aud glides over the paper as easily as a soft lead pencil. 
CLEANLINESS. 
It cannot blot or soil the hands, because ink cannot escape, ex- 
except iu the act of writing, and when not iu use the pen is hermeti¬ 
cally SEALED. 
DURABILITY, CHEAPNESS. 
! The 
Report No. U35 of the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia reads: 
point of the Pen is actually a ring of IRIDIUM (diamond). 
It is at ouce tasteful aud useful, and for ihe service rendered is 
not costly. We cordially appprovo of the instrument.” The Scientific 
American says: “Our daily use of it demonstrates to us that whoever 
supplies himself with a MacKinnon Pen possesses a good thing.” 
Nothing more Appropriate as a 
HOLIDAY GIFT 
to a Lady or Gentleman 
IF Be careful our Name is stamped on every Pen, as tliere a t 
is a Cheap Imitation in the Market.
