THE FLYER RAILROAD TRAIN-New.
f 1 — The most elegant and elaborate toy which we have presented to the public. It consists of
a locomotive, tender and passenger coach, decorated in gilt and natural colors. The locomo-
tive and tender together are twenty-six inches long, and are the most perfect model of a first-
ciass American passenger engine ever made as a toy. The car is eighteen inches long, and
represents a first-class Drawing Room Car, in natural colors, with the passengers at the
windows. The whole train is about forty-five inches long when shackled up.
The above cut is engraved directly from a photograph from the toy, and represents
accurately the proportions and construction of the several parts. Every thing represented
in the cut appears on the toy exactly as shown Price, $18 00 per dozen.
THE EXCURSION STEAMBOAT-New.
2 — This is the largest single toy we have ever made, it being twenty-four inches long, five
inches wide, and nine and one-half inches high to top of smoke-stack.
There are two tiers of cabins ; the decks are supported by posts, and the netting
encircling the decks is represented in a neat and durable style.
When the boat is drawn over the floor the walking-beam works up and down in a natural
manner. The whole is beautifully finished in natural colors, and makes a very large and
elegant toy for the price at which it is sold Price, $9 00 per dozen.
THE TEXAS RANCH
New.
3 — A simple and pleasing
combination toy with a
cabin, men, horses, cattle,

wagon is a most ingenious
little toy in itself, with the
oxen which may be yoked
mto it. Also the horseback
rider is made in such a
manner that he may be
placed on and removed
from his horse at pleasure.

GRAND RAILROAD MENAGERIE SHOW.
3a. A .complete anenagerie traveling by railroad. The toy in one f()im is a locomotive, ten-
der, and train of four cars, representing the cages of a menagerie. The parts of the cars and
locomotive, can be put together and taken apart at pleasure, and a great number of«0ther orig-
inal combinations may be made, such as platform cars, wagons, carts, and representations
of chariots, steam fire-engines, etc., etc. In fact the combinations are unlimited — all the parts
are held in place by friction. The whole is put uj^in a bos; representing a Railway Station,
and forms a toy which NEVER TIRES. The toy is put up in two forms.
THE No. 1 TRAIN is in the depot box, but the decoration of the building and the cars
are printed directly on the wood — the depot is varnished. Price, $9.00 per doz.
THE No. 2 TRAIN is in a neat hinged box, varnished, and contains one-half as many
parts as No. 1, and in same ^tvle. Price, $4.50 per dozen.

stand, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, wagons, carts, ice cream tent, oyster stand. Punch and Judy
show, etc., etc.
The box containing the toy is in the form of an Agricultural Fair Building, 12 inches
long. 'The decorations are very neat, and in some instances somewhat comical, representing
the scenes often witnessed at such times.
In this and others of our toys we introduce our superior style of animals, which for sym-
metrical form and neatness of construction have never been approached in this country. In
fact, no other cheap toy animals ever made have had the natural and life-like outline which
are found in ours. Price, |9.00 per dozen.

CRANDALL'S BRIDGE.
4^ — This beautifql, toy svpplies a want
long felt and expresseii by boUi parents and
children. The building of tte Bridge, which
20 1879— Oataloglte and Frice List op CrA'MEfe and Novklties.— 1880.
consists of ocer 120 pieces, affords a pleasure
which is much increased by the fact that
something is to be made — a specific object in
view. It teaches the most prominent points
which Architects must consider in building
the immense structures tlial span our broad
rivers, viz. : 1st, the Pier ; 2d, the Posts ;
3d, the Stringers ; 4th, the Approaches ; 5th,
the Braces ; 6th, the Floors ; and, 7th, Orna-
mentation, etc. The building of this beauti-
ful miniature Bridge requires the observance
of all these points as truly as does the build-
ing of the large and structures referred to.
The various parts are'sb ^impl^,' and plainly
suggest their places and Uses, that the illus-'
trated chart given with each set i^ all thajt i^
necessary. Besides the Bridge, many hew
and attraCliye designs can be made from t^e
detached 'pieces, which will readily be dis-
covered by the ingenious boy or girl who be-
comes the fO'rtunate possessor of this set;

If you would add to the beauty of your
Homes, hang your pictures and decorate
your rooms with
00
Over Arches, Windows, Doors, on Cur-
tains, Picture Frames, or Statuary. The
universal opinion is they are ^"Perfectly
Lovely,'" being perfect fac-similes of Na-
ture's handicraft. These Viries are superior
tq the pressed leaves and ferns, in. that they
being made of cloth and wire, are more dur-
able, can be cleansed when soiled, arranged
more gracefully, and will last for years. The
main vine is made of Annealed Wire, and
can be safely trusted to hang pictures.

Mm'i PateDl Pencil HolfliDS Noiseless Slate.
Half the noise in tlae School Room is produced by rattling
slates. This is all remedied by using the Andreics' Slates. They
will not rattle in their frames, and the frames will not rattle on the
desks. If the slate is dropped, it is iwt broken and the noise is muf-
fled and slight.
We offer Andrew's Slates as the best School Slates ever put upon
the market. They are an A 1 quality of slate, cemented into solid
hard wood frames, the corners mortised, tenoned, and carefully
glued together, surrounded by strong felted or corded bands glued
I and nailed on, which project beyond the surface of the frame, and
render the Slate noiseless if dropped. In one side of the frames is
a deep cavity inclosing a strong spring, which receives and retains
the pencil when not in use.

Ttie Bonanza Money Holder.
An article for carrying smal,, pieces oj coin in a
compact form in tJie porkei.
The inconvenience of carrying a lot of
small change loose in the pocket is known by
everybody. It is difficult to find a five cent
nickel or a ten cent piece without diving into
your pocket three or four times, and then
you are obliged to pull out everything, very
often dropping two or three pieces of money
before finding what you want. I^p",i ■*
The Bonanza' Money Holder is a small
nickel-plated Tube, which holds the coin in a
compact form, registering the amount of cash
on hand, and is always ready. It is worked
by a spring on the, inside, which presses the
coin to each end. By a| slight pressure of
the thumb on the top, you can slip a piece off
into your hand, and another appears in.|its
pli^ce. Every time a coin is taken off the
gauge raises one notch,, ancj indjcates , the
number left. This can tie done as fast as you
can count. It, is an article that ever^^body
needs and will have wh^n tjiey se,e how
handy and cony^nji^nt. it is to cany in the
pocket.

ments, while the
operator may be at
any distance from

may be examined
by the spectators,
who cannot dis-
cover the motive power. Wiieii iiiiudci u .ck
to the operator, it is simply placed upon a

dance, etc. , ; . ,

The O^'iental Ball Trick.
700— The won-
derful Obedient
Ball, or Oriental
Bdl Trick, is
made from a pe-
culiar solid, hard
wood, and its
brilliant color
gives it a very at-
tractive appear-
ance. Its action
is a Ways as sure
as fate. At the
word of the per-
former, it moves
either fast or
slow on the
string, and stops
suddenly at word
-J I .of command.
•>!i.l. It ha-< an excit-
ing feature about
it which is often of great utility to the per-
former. Should an outsider desire to try the
trick, the performer without hesitation gives
it into his hands. The novice puts the ball
ih position, and, with a' look of gratified
triumph, prepares to manipulate it, when lo !
the ball descends with a crash upon the toes
of the now agonized aspirant, who drops the
apparatus in disgust, and limps painfully
away, amid the boisterous laughter of the
audience. ' Price, $2 GO per dozen.
Samples mailed, post paid, on receipt of 2.5c.

abstracting it may keep it; but,
great as her desire will be, she will
find all her endeavors useless, and
yet the performer takes it out in a second.
Price, $1 75 per dozen.

from the burning egg.
The snake may after-
wards be kept as a won-
derful curiosity. '
