DEClDEDLY COOL.-Ihe editor of the
Pottsville Pa Miners Journal recent
~ visited Philadelphia, and while there
his room at the hotel was entered one
night by light fingered rascal, who
stole from his clothing valuable watch
and some money. The editor subse-
quently received communication from
the ''chevaIier," together with locket
which was attached to the watch. He
said he returned the locket, "thinking
it might probably be valued on account
of association and would have returned
the watch, but there was such small
amount Of capital in the purse that it
would not pay for the trouble he took,
so the watch had to be sold to ..pay ex-
penses." He says he likes editors, and
if he makes any money soon, will buy
the watch back and return it. and winds
up by advising the knight of the quill
not to sleep so sound the next time he
visits the Quaker city-all of which
must be very consoling.
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
~ AN"i HS A"No VI EhECIioN, TEIE-
GRAPHIC OPERATORS, AND NEwsPA-
PER EDITORS AND REPORTERS
THROUGHOUT THE UNION.
The public will look for the result of
the Presidential Election on the 5th of
November. To enable the newspaper
press Of the Union to declare the result
on the following morning, it will be nee
essary for the Inspectors of Election
throughout the United States to aid the
editors in every town, village, and city,
and for the editors and reporters to aid
each other. This can be done BY con-
fining their labors ON the night of the
election to the Presidential vote alone.
Let the Inspectors ecery where count that
cote first. Let the telegraphic operators
transmit the Presidential vote only on
that night. This plan will enable the
Press to announce the result on the morn.
ing after the election even if the contest
be close one. We hope this plan will
be adopted. No other will succeed
1t will simplify the labor, make it east
er, save time, and satisfy the people.
LET THERE BE NO SECRET IN MEDICINE,
OF rather no pretended secrets. The Med
ical Faculty publish as soon as made, all
their discoveries, and almost all that is
known Of real value for the cure of dis
eases, has been discovered by them. Dr..
Aver takes the honorable honest course,
and right because it is honest. He goes
to work and invents the best remedy
which medical skill can devise for the cure
Of certain complaints : then publishes
what it is and maintains his monopoly of
it solely by making it cheaper, better,
more perfect, than anybody else can. If
the people would exact this of all who
offer medicines, they would have much
less tracle and trash to swallow.-New
Orleans Organ.
