Address of the Peace Congress of Eu.
rope and America.

In the month of September last Congress
was held in the city of Brussels. whose great
object was 10 promote and secure permanent
peace among the civilized nations of the earth
by finding, if possible, an efficient substitute
for the bloody, uncertain and costly arbi,ra-
ment of war. The Congress was composed
of numerous individuals, speaking various Ian
guages, living under di, ,erse forms of govern
men, and entertaining different political opin-
ions and religious convictions, but drawn TO-
geiher by common sentiment of humanity, and
an ardent desire TO promote the welfare Of man
kind, by removing The causes and incentives 10
war. .,
The eminent position which you occupy in
the councils of the nations of Europe and Amer
lea. induces the Congress, of which we are the
representatives. to submi, to your serious con-
siderotion the great and important question
which formed the subject of their anxious de-
liberation and respectfully, ye. earnestly TO
invite your attention 10 the conclusions al which
they arrived. They will be found embodied IN
the following resolutions
lst. That. in the judgment of this Congress,
an appeal 10 arms for the purpose of declining
disputes among nations, is custom condemned
alike by religion, reason Justice, humanity, and
The best interests of the people and that lhore-
fore, it considers i, to be the duty of the civil
lied world 10 adopt measures calculated 10 effect
its entire abol,ion
I'd. That it is of the highest Importance to
urge on the several Governments of Europe
and America, and necessity Of introducing a
clause into all International treaties, providing
for the settlement of all disputes by arbitration
in an amiable manner. and according TO The
rules Of justice and equity; special arbllrators,
or supreme International Cour,, TO be inves-
ted with power TO decide in cases of necessity
as las iresort.
3D. That the speedy convoca,ion Of a Con-
gress of Nation, composed of duly appointed
representatives, for the purpose Of framing a
we'll digested and authoritative international
Code, is Of the greatest importance, inasmuch
as The organization of such body, and the
unanimous adoption of such Code, would be
an eflectual means of promoting universal peace.
4h. That this Congress respectfully calls
the attention of civilized Governments TO the
necessity of a general and simultaneous dsar.
mamen,,as means whereby they may greatly
diminish the financial burlhens which press
upon them; remove fertile cause of irritation
and inquielude !; inspire mutual Dntidence /;
and promote the interchange Of good offices,
which while they advance the interests OF each
state ia particular, contribute largely 10 the
main aIDances of general peace, and 10 the
lasting prosperity OF nations.
These substitutes for war adoption by the

sTRoUDsBURG COUNTY Pa THURSDAY,

clock work from its stop, The figure began 10
draw on card and having finished its draw
ing on the first card, i. rested, and then pro-
ceeded 10 draw different subjects on Eve or six
other cards. The first card exhibited elegant
portraits of the king and queen, facing each
other; and ,he figure was observed TO hit Its
pencil with the greatest precision, in the tram
siton from one point to another, without making
the slightest slur. ia.a
One of the mos, celebrated mechanics in re.
cent times was NJ Vancanson, OF the Paris
Academy of Sciences In 1898 this gentleman
exhibited 10 the academicians his celebrated
fue-player, which was by far the most won
derful and curious machine ever presented TO
The world 1t was figure of man, the size
of life, who played on the flute sweeily TO the
number OF twenty tunes. The astonishing me-
chansm of this figure was able 10 produce all
the motions requesne for an expert player on
the flute, and which he executed in such man
ner as TO produce music equeal in beauty TO
that derived from the exerlions OF a well-prac-
tised living performer.
Some of Vauconson's other automata were
sill more ingenious than his flute. player. His
mechanical pc rformer on The pipe and tabor,
constructed in l741, was capable of playing
about twenty airs, consisting of: minueis, riga
doons, and country dances. His celebrated
duck was capable of eating, drinking, and iml-
tating exactly the voice of natural one and
wha. is still more surprising, the food 1t swal
lowed was evacuated in digesed stale, or a
least in an altered state, by means of chemica
solution. The wings, viscera, and bones were
made 10 resemble those of living duck, and
the actions Of eating and drinking showed 'he
strongest resemblance, even to the muddng the
water with its bill.
Abou, twenty years after Vaucanson had as
ronlshed the world with his mechanical inven
,ions, Kempelen, Hungarian gentlemen, pro
duced his aulomaton chess-player. This ma
chine was considered more wonderful than an.
which preceded it, until it was ascerlalned ,ha
small living man was concealed in the bod,
of the figure, when all the novelty ceased, ant
automalon chess players became quite common

Where are the birds that sang

The flowers that all in beauty sprang
A hundred years ago =
The lips that smiled,
The eyes that wild
In flashes shone
Soft eyes upon
Where, 0 where are lips and eyes,
The maiden's smile, the lovers sighs,
That were so long ago!
Who peopled all the city IS streets
A hundred years ago!
Who filed the church with faces meek,
A hundred years, ago
The sneering tale
OF sister frail,
The plot that work'd
Another's hurt
Where, o where, are plots and sneers,
The poor mans hopes, the rich mans fears,
That were, so long ago
Where are the graves where dead men slept
hundred years agoa
Who, whilst living, oft-times wePt,

They knew not then
Their lands are titled.
Their homes are filed
Yet Nature then was just as gay,
And bright the sun shone as to-day,
