An Important Organization. - Mb. Editor : Seeing an article in Monday's issue concerning the X. A. S. E., I would say that it gives but little in site or information to the highly interest ed portion of steam users and public. Now for the benefit of all, inclosed you will find the fundamental law on which the organization is built. You will also tind section 2 of the constitution. I'REAMULE. Tim association shall at no time be used for the furtherance of strikes, or in aiiy way interfering between its members and their employes in regard to wages;rec oguizing the identity of interests between employer and employes, not countenanc ing any project or enterprise that will in terfere with perfect harmony between them; neither shall it be used for politi cal or religious purposes. Its meetings shall be devoted to the business of the association, and at all times preference shall be given to the educating and help ing work contemplated in the formation of this order. Section 2. The objects of this asso ciation shall be the better education, mu tual improvement and elevation of sta tionary engineers, provide for the forma tion of subordinate lodges, and enact laws for governing the same. Now, Mr. Editor, I think when a body of men organize for an honorable and lawful purpose, it is no more than decent that they should announce to the public the cause of their action. Having no ob jects that can be criticised, nor plans not warranted by good sense and a regard for the rights of others, no desires that are not in accordance with the rights of justice, we deem it but right to give to the public a detailed account of the work and purpose which we have in hand. The order is called the National Asso ciation of Stationary Engineers. Its ranks are filled with only competent, re putable men, such as are Hying in manu facturing towns and cities, making and regulating steam power. This body of engineers believe that the importance of their profession has never been properly presented for the consider ation of their fellow citizens, hence tne present effort.

EXPERINCE OF A MAN AS HE DrtAWS. NIGH TO MIDDLE AGE. A Cane of ConHiiiiiptlun Chnnges to Can. cor Klieuiuatii,m ami Heart II:;ih'. Haunted by t'.very 1 urm of J'liyslial IlautT Tin- Wholo 1. 1st. A man reaeb.es the ago of 40 or thertalouts without having exjM-rieneeil any serious in terruption in the current of his life. Koine night lie is sleepless; tho next day ho ia tireil. Ho has overworked, or overdrank, or over smoked, or over worried. There is an extra weight attached to his forehead, his legs are weak and he ia toscfcsed by latitude. Ho recalls at onee tho death of a man who fell buddenly in tho street, smitten ly apoplexy. Tho weakness in his legs, is not that sympto matic of paralysis? He has passed his prime, and does not know it. lie is ignorant of tho fact that ho cannot labor as hard, drink as much nnd employ his energies as l-fore. Nature be gins to slacken in her efforts at recuperation. Night, with its rest and slumber, does not bring him a morning with all its old time buoyancy and exhilaration. Noticing these things, ho commences to examine his condi tion. The moment ho logins this process of self inspection he enters on tho condition of the hypochondriac. He catches a littlo cold and has a cough. It is consumption. Tho advertising pages of the newspapers catch his eye, and ho sees "Consumption Cured." lie reads it with avidity. Symptoms are described, and with a pang he feels that each ono of them applies exactly to lu's case. Ho hunts over tLo rec ord of his ancestors to find if there be weuk lungs in the descent. Alas, yes! His grand mother, he recalls, with a painful shrinking of the heart, died of consumption at the ago of 931 And there were two second cousins, both of whom, whilo quito young, fell a vic tim to this frightful malady. Ho is doomed. A CAXCEK, SURE ! The cough disappears. There is a soro on his tongue, and almost instantly there comes into tho horriblo vision cancer! He reads up tho encyclopaedia on cancer; ho takes furtive glances into the books of medical friends, and sverywhere he finds corroboration of his be lief. It is cancer, sure! His broken slumber is filled with images of the hideous tumor, and he listens with intense and painful inter est to the narrations of those whoso experi ence includes the ulcer, tho treatment of the patient by the knife of the surgeon, and tho fearful death at last of the unfortunate vie tim. Finally he goes to tho physician whe, if he be honest, assures him that his fears aio groundless, and then for a brief season ho is at ease. There comes a pain in his anklo or knees. Rheumatism. And now it moves to another point. Migratory, is it? Ah, it is moving toward his heart! It may leap there to night, to-morrow, any moment; and again he suffers the agony of dissolution, as ho an ticipates each moment feeling tho pang of the thrust of the deadly dart. He rushes hastily up a stairway, and ho feels an increased action in his heart. At once the dread vision of heart disease flashes into his lino of vision. For mouths he broods over the calamity which has overtaken him. Ho moves about carefully; he avoids every thing which will produce excitement; he is as caref ul of his heart as if it were a new born babe. He has a stuffiness in his nose or throat, and Rt once he has catarrh, combined with bronchitis. There aro prickling neuralgic pains in his muscles, and he at once reads up on the matter and finds that they aro pre monitory symptoms of paral3sis. This sen! inflicted invalid reads tho news papers. Every case of death from paresis affrights him. He learns with fresh aceesion3 of horror of hemiplegia and paraplegia, and is certain that he is menaced with one of these forms of disaster. The age of every man whose death is reported excites in him a painful interest. If the deceased be younger than himself he experiences a poignant pang; if older, then be has a faint hope that his own end is not yet imminent. CHOLERA SYMPTOMS. Ho reads that there is cholera in Nico or Sicily, or in the interior of Spain. Instant ly, in his mind, he sees the horrible pesti lence creeping across tho continent, over tho channel and Great Britain, thenco in infect ed vessels to the American shores. On emi grant trains it crawls along tho railway lines and appears in Chicago. Ho will lie one ot the very first victims. Already ho feels tho symptoms of the disease. He anticipates the worst. He already feels in imagination the agonies of the pain and sees himself cold, breathless, moribund in the final state of col lapse. lie complains to his sympathizing friends, and they proffer him illimitable advice and remedies. "A cold bath every morning,'" says one; "A hot bath every night," says an other; "Drink a glass of hot water when 3-ou rise in tho morning," or "Drink a glass of eoltl water when 3-ou go to bed," is the sug gestion of another. One friend mentions a cathartic, another a lotion, a third a bitters, a fourth an alterative. Thero is 110 human being of either sex that is not ready to pre scribe for any ailment of a friend at a mo ment's notice. He reads tho scientific physiological pa pers. Ho sees it demonstrate.! that alcohol and tobacco are noxious, and he at once quits their use, and then reads that both are bene ficial if used in moderation, and ho resumes his cigar and his Deer. Elaborate essays are presented that oatmeal et breakfast is an in dispensable auxiliary of health, whereupon ho eats it regularly until a time when he sees another scientific authority which pro nounces tho diet as a sure producer of dys pepsia. Ho takes his food with abundant water for a time, and then abjures it when another medical expert pronounces it inju rious. He is a vegetarian, a meat eater by turns; he patronizes tho allopathic, then the hydro pathie, then homoeopathic, then the eclectic, and the metaphysical schools; an? tries drugs, herbs, mind tranference, old vomen's prescriptions, inhalations, mustard plasters, tonic3, diuretics, sarsaparillas, health re storers, and thus runs through the entire pharmacopoeia without benefit, and then gives up all medicine with disgiiot. "Pohuto" in Chicago Times. Testing: the Lad's Honesty. A lawj-er engaged a new lx3" recently, and, as he had suffered to some extent from the depredations of his former lad, ho deter mined to try the new boy's honest3' at once. He therefore placed a 5 note under a weight on his desk, and walked out without a word. Upon his return half an hour later the note was gone and half a crown in silver had taken its place. "B03-, when I went out I left 5 under this weight." "Yes, sir; but you see you hadn't becii gone five minutes when a man came in with a bill against you for 4 17s. GcL I believe the change is correct." "You paid a bill" "Yes, sir; there it is all receipted. The man said it had slipped your mind for the past four years, and so" That boy got the sack on the spot.
