PRACTICAL, POLITICIANS. Mugwumps and bolters may sneer at Bdward LauterbachV assertion that "Partioscanudt "be maintained except through the energies of practical politi­ cian^, but, nevertheless, 'he-:is entirely correct. It is the "practical politicians who see to it that the party .organiza­ tion is kept up, who look alter the regis­ tration of voters, get out the vote on election day, and do the thousand and one things necessary to achieve success. A good share of the people who are con­ tinually condemning the politicians and shouting for reform, never attend the primaries, and would not register or yote ii not reminded of their duty by party workers. Abraham Lincoln was a practical politician. So was Henry Clay, So was Blaine. A party without leaders, FOOjj/ L^GISliATION, . Among tl/o laws passed by our late unlamehted legislature was an amend­ ment to the Pharmacy Law." The law as amended requires all persons, firms or corporations, jylio sell the "UBiial domes tic remedies, patent medicines, etc." to obtain a permit from the State Board of Pharmacy, and pay as a fee for the same one doHar. Now1 then, Mr. Editorf, I am a little shop keeper and sell shoe blacking and sassafras candy, cod fish and molasses, pepBin gum, warranted to cure dyspep sia, hoarhound and rock candy, ditto for coughs, colds, etc., Hive Syrup, sure cure for the croup, Castoria, which all the chiidrencry for, Smith Bros.' cough drops, for the immediate relief of sore throat and hoarseness, price five cents,, catnip and sage for a soothing tea for the little ones at home, also "Hoods cures," for particulars see small and great barns. So, thinking myself a ben­ efactor in placing all these "domestic remedies" before a generous public, and being a law abiding citizen, I .duly filed my application with the State Board of Pharmacy, (I dearly love to write the name in full.) incloeed'the required one dollar and calmly waited my permit. Soon a letter cams from said State Board of Pharmacy with the informa­ tion that the said Board had resolved not to issue pel mits to sell the "usual domestic remedies, etc;" except, in remote regions. They very kindly informed me that 1 could still sell alum and sul­ phur, sal soda and rosin, and for this in­ formation they charged me one dollar, that is, 1 suppose so, for they did not re­ turn the one I sent them. Now, Mr. Editor, when you send to my shop for sage, please state whether you want it for sausage or sage tea. If you send for pepsin gum please state whether you have the heart-burn or chew for fun. If your little"one comes for rock candy send me word if you are to make tulu, rock and rye, for I cannot sell these as domestic remedies under the pain and penalties of the law. Verily if you bray fools in ajmortar 8omt will escape and break into our legislature. SHOP KEEPER. WEDNESDAY. SEPT.

The article will show that the great President was not steady in his affairs of the heart, that he floundered in his love, and finally induced his friend Speed to marry and tell him (Lincoln) whether marriage was a failure or not.
