ant vindication OF the great doctrine OF
Free-Love.
|. Once in possession of these facts, once
energized by the pervadng fire of the
doctrine of Free-Love, the American
psychologist rapidly reduced his idea TO
practice. The only difficulty lay in de-
termining what first to produce. After
spiritual consultation, he decided TO dis
card all merely ornamental productions,
and to bend his powers o the invent
ing OF only that which should benefit
the human race.
Calling to his assistance the associ-
ates who now constitute the Green
Mountain Spiritual Patent--Anln,al
Manufacturing Company, he proceed
ed TO Africa, and returning thence in
about nine months, with an ample sup
ply of the material needed, he, with his
associates. proceeded, at once, to insti-
tute a series of experiments, which, af-
ter incredible failures, have been crown
ed with complete success, The aim of
the Company was to make an invention
| whlch should supercede the use of loco
motives, or any other csgines, and even
Oh horses, during that period of the year
When our railroads are buried under the
snow. This aim was entertained be-
cause information had been lodged with
the original inventor, by the most dis
tinguished meteorologst OF this coun-
try or the world, (Mr. Merriam, to witt
10 the elect that cycle of uuprece-
dentedly cold and snowy winters was
approaching-a prediction wonderfully
verified by the winters of 1866 and
loo6-7. Eight more equally severe
winters are yet to come the winter of
1893 go will be the severest OF them all.
The inventions which we offer to the
Railroad Companies throughout the
Union completely answers tile reuuire-
ments for which it was designed, and is
adequate to the most frigld weather
and the deepest possible snow. Indeed,
precisely In proportion as the weather
renders locomotive engines unavailable
and valucless, precisely in that p-opor-
ton does 1t render our invention valua-

we announce the invention to 3e an en-

appropriately named:
THE osTRI-eRAFFE,
creature which, taken in connection |
with It's associate and kinsman,
TIL cAMELo-PARDHIcH,
empowers mankind easily to triumph
over the worst blockade which an aus

The Ostri-Graffe, as its name implies,
is the Free Love offspring of the Ara
bian ostrich anG the Giraffe of Central
Africa,-s're, Ostrich; dam, Giraffe.
The Came. o-pardrich is the progeny
OF the male Camelopard and the female
Ostrich. The two differ in physical
as the mule and the jim
ny, and In exacG conformity with the
laws of Hereditary Transmission laid I
down in that invaluable work "Walker

energy incident to all Free Love con-

and vital qualities. Hence,
no surprise should be awakened when
We solemnly state that the average
height of the full-grown Ostri-Giraffe

'ich, 26 feet 8 inches.
In form the Ostri-Giraffe is a bird,
laving legs, wings and head like les
atlier, the Ostrich. 1t is covered with
! spotted, hairy skin, the spots being
heavily feathered. Internally, all its
'rgans and visccra correspond, with
hose of its mother, the Camelo- paid. [
rs wings are beautifully colored. and
hough large enough to assist the ami
nal in running, are too small to enable {
to fiy. The feet, sineularly and for {
are webbed, enabling it to /
upport itself upon the snow without

naux. Its tail, uncOmmonly long and {
owerful,is shaped like that of the am- /
lopard, only instead of ending in a tutt s

Externally, the Camelopardrich is a l.
uadruped, but internally a biped or a
ird-that Is to say. having the chlyop- r
ictic organs of its dam, the Ostricile.- r
is plumage resembles that of its moth

'ithout plumes, 6nt covered with a S
tout menlbraneous skin, giving to them S
the appearance of the wings i

les that of the Ostri-Giraffe, being only
few inches shorter, and perhaps not r

Both of these animals partake LARGELY r
the fundamental principles of the h
reat doctrine to which they owe their u
rigll.. Their temperaments, particu- O
Irly that OF the Ostri-Giraffe, are ar {
ent almost to the verge of amorous- II
ess. Hence. the company were COM q
elled to erect their manufactory i'm the n
reen Mountains, that constantly cool "
nd generally frigid atmosphere might ii
measure counteraet the constifu- q
onal warmth ofthe animals. Both are O
1bued with the courage, the steadfast- n
ess OF purpose, the scorn of conven- n
onal usages, the power of endurance. ii
