In proof of this, says the UHulon I'ublie Opinion, on,, nood only 1)t,rw,'ni ,;tt,n Mlllol Maxim. Watt, ltiimsoy, Howo, etc. It is only the penius of a stheticlsm. the genius of the emotions, that Is gener ally accoinanie.l by unmistakable 6ipns of dejr.'iieration. Swinburne's poems show the mental bias of their author, who is d'cri!ed as peculiar and eccentric. Many of tho men who have aided in making the world's hi.-tory, were vic tims of epilepsy, as was Julius C;'sar, military leader, statesman and author. Main- men of penius have j suffered from choleric and spasmodic ' movements, notably lvnan, Montes I quieu, Hutfon, lr. Johnson, Thomas Campliell, NaM)lcon and Socrates. Suicide, essentially a symptom of men tal disorder, has carried off many a man of penius, including such immor tals as Chatterton, Blount, llaydon, Clive and David. Alcoholism and morphinism are now regarded as evi dences of depen 'ration, and have had as victims Coleridge, Sheridan, Steele, Addison, Hoffman, Charles Lamb, Burns and many others. In men of genius tho moral sense is sometimes obtunded or absent. Sallust, Seneca and Bacon were susected felons; Rousseau, Bvron, roseola and Caresa were grossly immoral, and Casanova, the gifted mathematician, was a com mon swindler. The Sparrowhawk. There Is a remarkable charm In the swift, agile, wheeling flight of the American sparrowhawk, that justifies lennysons line, 'Sometimes the spar rowhawk wheels along." The bird has powerful wings, and its poising, turning and wheeling in a hiph wind form a beautiful display of aerial pvmnastics. Tho hawk rises in the face of a strong wind with an easy, graceful, wheeling tlight, all aslant, yields to the impulse from without for a second or two. and then, gaining complete control of itself, soars away as if the atmosphere were perfectly still. A I'olltUnl Motto. "My friend," said tho truly patri otic citizen, "you are becoming prom inent in politics." "That I am,' replied the local leader. "I trust that you will adopt as your motto the good old phrase, 'lie sure you're right, and then go ahead.'" "ot exactly, though vou are guessing purty close.

We would respectfully call your attention to the fact that there Is tn thl city a council of the Order of United American Mechanics. to which we would he happy to have you give a moment' thought, and If favorably Impressed, would like your name proposed for membership. The Order of United American Mechanic waa organized In Philadelphia on the l.'.lh day of July, IH45. It first Inception wa for the protection of Mechanic and Working- men alone, and for a number of year none but operative mechanic and worklngmen were af milled to It membership; but the great Interest of principle Involved In IU existence, caused a departure from tnat plan, and the Order ha for year existed and exist today a an order of speculative me chanic, recogninlng every one possessed of the birth requiremeuU, who work for a uialntal nance either by hand or brain or both a eligible to membership, and number among Its member men of every profession, and calling in life. The objects of this order are to assist each ether In obtalningemployment: toencourage each other In business; to establish a Hick and funeral fund; to establish a fund for the relief of widow and orphans and to aid members; and to aid member who, through Providence, may be Incapacitated from fol lowing their usual vocations. In obtaining situation suitable to their affliction. The membership of this order Is composed of white male cltir.en born in the United State, or under the protection of it flag. This order has existed for nearly fifty year, and 1 at present, rapidly spreading through out the United States. As an American born, and having the welfare of yourself at.d family at heart, as well as that of the nation at large, we would most heartily Invite yon to become a member of the U. A. M as it la the only Order In existence founded es- Declally to promote the lntereBU, elevate the character and secure the happiness of the American mechanic aud business man. It therefore appeals to the head and heart of him who wields the pen as wen as to mm who swings the scythe or wields the sledge hammer of the mechanic. In its councils, a free discussion of principles relating to the fostering and care of the Interests of indi vidual members Is permit ted; but nothing of a political or sectarian character Is ever al lowed to be discussed. It ha no urn nation with such Institutions as Trades Union, Knights or Labor, Sovereigns of Industry, or the like, and desire not to control either capital or labor, as It would be doing a gross Injustice to many of It member, who are taken from both classes. The membership of the Order Is scattered from Maine to Cali fornia, and from all points cones Ihe glorious news that the Order Is gaining great trength In all Jurisdictions. An endowment branch Is also connected with tbe Order, both national and stale, which insures those who seek 1U benefit enabling them to leave a sum, which I In all case ubstantlally and promptly paid, to the dear ones, when death mark Its mem bers fur Ils own. It eems very strange Indeed that the American does not feel Inclined to become to peculiarly national In his Ideas and as oclatlons as do the English, French, Ger man, Irish, and other nationalities. Each and all of the foregoing have their peculiar national orgnuitatlons, and take pride In same. But the American Joins order afte order, composed of a mixture of national! ties, and leU bis own countrymen severely Blone In the matter of secret and fraternal societies. We would not belittle any of the existing secret beneficial associations. Far from It. They are a power for good in the community But we do ask him who Is to the manor bor to turn his thoughu to home and native land. o that he can Join In the glad refrain "Thou art my native land. I own thy fostering hand; Though far from thee I roam, Still thou art my home." Americans, we of this Brotherhood appeal to you to aid us In this work we are now carrying on. You must either tie for us or against us. Choose quickly audletusBho to the country that we firmly believe 1 American principles. American Industry American protection and American govern. cent. Strikes riots and boycotting are terms too harsh to be applied to American Mechanics. Bonded together by promptings of patriotic affection, may this Order grow and progress, until every man who call himself American can stand up and ay all sincerity, I own no man as master of ui action.
