Mechanics National University.

lime and again We have cOnversed
with leading mechanic, architect and
Jui.d,r in this county upon the propriety
IF establishing somewhere in the United
States National Mechanics University,
where mechanism in all its varied
branches may be taught, and the mind Of
man ennobled to the highest degree. All
over the count rY mechanics have erected
beautiful temples Of learning for the
Doctor, the Minister, the Soldier and the
Lawyer, but as yet no lofty dome for the
mechanic rears It's beautiful proportions
heaven ward. Such building far SUR
passing auY structure On EARTH can be
built by the united efforts Of the mechaa.
les OF America If the ball is only once
put in motion Let the mechanics of
every city, town and county organize
Just as the farmers are doing, aid then
Ne mighty strength which slumbsrs in
their brawny arms viii. be known and
felt the world over. There is 40 body Of
men on earth so eminently qualified to
rear temple of learning as they, and
certainly none need or deserve it moro
The mechanic as an individual has too
long been crushed beneath the foot of
the professor and it is time be was GRID
ing on the arInOr peculiarly his own. Let
him come forward and do duty to him.
self and then the want Of respect so
justly complained of will disappear and
he will be seen of all men In the true
light which he himself sheds over the
civilized world. A beginning must be
made, and we humbly suggest that the
mechanics Of Bolivar and Hlrdeman
county meet at this place on some day
in the early future for the purpose of
organization, at which time the subject
of n National Mechanics University can
oe fully discussed. Start the organiza-
ton oven here in Bolivar aud it will
swell with a rapidity outrivalIing even
the farmers Oranges, especially when it
j. knew that the leading object of the
grganization is to advance the mechanics
own interest and the building of an in-
rtitutiOn in which all the trades and scien
COS are to be taught and inculeated. The
very Thought ola Mechanics University is
sufficient to make even the newer of wood
and drawer of water look forward to a
brighter and better day. We submit our
crude ideas to the mechanics and the
press everywhere and would like to see
low they arc received. .
Too long have the mechanics been oc-
cupying back seats, and it is high time
they were doing something for their own
advancement Let the work be instituted
at once, and there is not mechanic in
Che Union who would not contribute his
mite to cause so noble and grand. The
subject is worry OF consideration aud
sooner or later will receive it.

ALARY,a OPINION.

The meanest and most contemtib!e OF
mankind may yet find some human advO-
cate, and male coquettes have la !, it seems,
at least one defender.
The poet Campbell says he once heard a
lady, distinguished for beauty and rank, de-
fend Sir Thomas Lawrence from the
charge of having been culpable in paying
attention to ladies without intending to fol-
low them up by an offer of his hand.
A gentleman remarked that Sir Thomas
was highly blamable.
NO." replied the lady, who was thought
to have been herself the temporary object
of the great painters attention; "no, not
exactly; not so much to blame" said the
lady musingly.
EWhat!" exclaimed the gentleman, "you
astonish me. Not to blame for such con-
duct"
"No, not so much" was still the lady's
musing response.
"Can yon reslly, madame" said the gen.
tleman again, ''defend such behavior as de-
sertion-"
"Why, sir" interrupted the lady, "to
confess the truth, / am firmly of the opin-
ion that the majority of the women would
rather be courted and Tilted than not to be
courted at all"

KISSING HANDS.

There is a singular habit among the
Vienna children and maidens of returning
thanks for favor or present which is very
startling to stranger. Your hand is i'm
mediately seized, kindly and reverently,
and kissed, the only words uttered being,
Il kiss your hand" If anything is given
10 a little beggsr-girl On the street,
you must submit to having your
hand kissed. at the Cathedral, on
Saturday afternoon, while the ceremony
of confirmation was progressing, this was
almost momentary occurrence. 1t is Gus
tomary Tor the friends and sponsors ofthose
being confirmed to present them with rib
bons, cakes, AMI other mementoes, which
are sold around the door of the Cathedral.
Consequently the ceremony OF kissing
hands was in constant progress throughout
the week. The number of persons con-
frmed is said to have exceeded 10000, most
of them children.
