DISGUSTED WITH ZEBRAS.
A Yankee menagerie man, who bought a zebra from an individual who said he had just arrived from Africa with the animal, kept his purchase closely confined in its cage for several weeks, until it needed cleaning badly ; and then he led it down to the creek and gave it a good scrubbing for half an hour. At the end of that time the menagerie man was surprised to perceive that the zebra’s stripes had entirely disappeared. And now if anybody wishes to buy an ablebodied and energetic mule, warranted to be kind in single harness, and not to suffer from home sickness because it can’t get back to Africa, such an article can be procured of this menagerie man, who is disgusted with zebras.
