The New York Tribune says that for all practical purposes the republican party is more thoroughly united to-day than ever before, more zealous in support of the just principles for which it contends, and inspired to new effort and to new courage by the daily proof of the incapacity and un-worthiness of the democratic party. The lalest reform talked of in Washington is the weeding out of whole families that have been quar tered in some of the departments contrary to law. There is said to be one family of nine, all holding clerk ships in the same department, and other cases are mentioned where only the husband and wife and two or three of their children are included in the same pay roll.

J. Ntonnr How Most or Them Ar Made Wwrk 1 a Flntt-Clajs Drag Store. Chicago News. So long as disease prevails the public are at the mercy of careless clerks, and nothing can prove mora agonizing to a patient who meets death in this form, or to the family and friends who, on the very eve of the convalescence of a patient, are forced to stand by and see their relative or friend snatched from them through the fault of another. "Are druggists' mistakes of frequent oc currencei" a physician was asked by a reporter.

"No; they are not nearly so frequent as one not in the profession would suppose." "Are there no means by which they could be made preventable!" "I don't know what could be done more than has been. You see, it is human to err. Take the most careful man in existence, I care not what business he is in, and he will slip up some time. How often do men who are thoroughly conversant with their trade or profession make mistakes? A man gets proficient in his business, and this very proficiency makes him oftentimes go about it mechanically, and the first thing he knows he makes a mistake. If it is a small one or is detected in time to prevent serious injury or loss the man grits his teeth, gives himself a mental kicking, and is more careful for awhile, but soon he is back in the old me-chanica Irut" "What means do druggists employ to pre vent these errors!" "Every first-class drug store is arranged like ciocK work.

The different poisons are either placed in separate oompartmenta, put in a peculiar style of bottle, or the bottles which contain them have an odd label, something which will attract the eye of the clerk the moment be uses it. Tnen, again, the clerk who puts up an order for a medicine of that character is under special instructions to register it in a book kept for the purpose. What other means can be gotten up to prevent a mistake creeping in I don't know." "Do not many errors arise from the miserable chirography of physicians!" "No, for the simple reason that if a druggist can't make out what a physician means he will quietly send word to the writer of the prescription for instructions, telling the customer it will take twenty or thirty minutes to put it up." "As a rule, what is the general character of physicians' handwriting)" "My brethren in the profession will bear me out in saying that it is the most miserable that can be imagined. Such scrawls as are sometimes sent out would tax the ingenuity of an expert to decipher. Many a solemn conclave have I witnessed in drug stores over the prescriptions written by one of the most eminent physician of this city.

He will start a word all right, but if -it is over four letters long the conclusion will run off into unintelligible ben tracks; and it is true ot many others. Bad writing is as much of characteristic of physicians as the proverbial slowness of tailors and shoemakers. Edlaon Nat a Poor Man. Croffut in New York World. How much is Edison- worth! I do not know.

He certainly does not own himself, for he has been public property, now, lot these many years. One of these hydra-headed correspondents of half a dozen newspapers declares that he is "worth nothing;" that he has lost "a pile of money" lately; that his stocks are of no value, whereas they were formerly worth $2,000,000, and that he is "disappointed and depressed." Now, the fact is that Edison is what most people would call a rich man, even in these modern days. He has a regular annual income from the Western Union Telegraph company of $60,000 in royalties on old patents. He is the principal stockholder in five manufacturing companies that bear his name, with an aggregate of $300,000 capital, and all of them pay large dividends every six months. He has put $80,000 in cash into the Downtown Electrical Illuminating company, which has earned a dividend, notwithstanding the large expenditures wbioh experiments required.

Since the death of Mrs. Eiion be has moved with the three children into a flat on Eighteenth street, near Broadway, where the inquisitive oould probably ascertain that he pays his rent with scrupulous regularity. In fact, Edison has a very practical side, and I suppose he receives an income of from $75,000 to 4100,. 000. I know some hydra-headed newspaper correspondents who would be less "depressed" if they were as well fixed.

A Remarkable Clan of Thieves. London Truth. The police of St. Petersburg have been for some time puzzled by the conduct of a remarkable class of thieves, who committed robbery not only in the open day, but, moreover, with ostentation. They were Finns, and were all young men.

When arrested, they calmly pleaded guilty? and were sentenced for terms varying from one to three months. At the expiration of the sentence they promptly disappeared. It turned out that they had returned to their own country, and had there resumed their several avocations without loss of social position. The law in Finland forbids the enrollment in the army of any persons who have undergone imprisonment for civil offenses, so these enterprising Finns had deliberately sought imprisonment in order to avoid conscription. A Good Angel.

Norristown Herald. In a poem called ihe Urganist, we are informed that "He sits him down at twilight hour, Before the ivory keys, And lets his fingers wander o'er, The clavier as they please. Though dark and stall the empty church, An angel flits o'erbead. And, passing near with drooping wings, He lea vet the player dead, that angel should not weary in his good work. Sometimes when a man is clawing the ivory keys the neighbors want to hurl a brick at him, but they would be satisfied if an angel would hover over him and leave him dead.

The angel should also hover over the amateur flute-player, the cornetist, the accordion fiend, and other musical aggravations. Peculiarities of the Pennies. Chicago Herald. The first coin ever issued in this country was the old fashioned cart wheel cent. The first issue wa- in 1793, and there were three dies made.

With the single exception of the year 1315, there has been no break in the issue of cents from that time to the present It was in 1795 that the Liberty cap was changed to the fillet head, and these were issued regularly for thirteen years, when the Goddes of Liberty appeared on the coin, with thirteen stars surrounding it A cent of the issue of 1799, hi good condition, is worth $40 or $50.

The Pennsylvania republicans fling orn the masthead of their campaign ship the banner of the bloody shirt an 1 the high protective tariff.

Magnanimous Bonis are they to suppose that the great West is their lawful prey. It is expected that cholera will reach America this year. It is well to remember that the dread disease usually avoids healthy people who are regular and prudent in their hab its, and seizes upon those who are in temperate, uncleanly and imprudent in their way of living, or who are pre disposed by excesses, unwholesome food or physical prostration from other diseases and causes.

In the untainted atmosphere of a cleanly, woll ordered home, where all the members are in good health, calm and cheerful, and reasonably careful about their food and drink, the fam ily ia safer fro a cholera than when fleeing from it and incurring the risks of changing wa'er, diet and res id'-nce.

The amount of loss which its presence in the North will entail, is as yet only a matter of conjecture.
