democratic County Convention.

We publish in another column, the call
of tie Democratic County Committee for
convention to nominate candidates for
County officers. to assemble at the Court
House on Wednesday, the NINETEENTH inst.
This may be regarded as opening the ac-
tire contest in the County which is to be de
cided in October The canvass, thus far,
has been, as it were, but mere skirmishing
upon the Delegate Question alone, but that
question will at once assume deeper and
broader character, when all the other poll
tical interests are aroused, and the antag-
onisms of party fully in action. There will
be more and better attention paid to the
whole subject than is now given, and the
respective merits of candidates will be truly
weighed when they are all in the field.
We trust the Democracy will be on the
alert at once, and pick out good and true
men to form the Convention, in order that
there may be an assurance to them that
good-or rather, the candidates will
be chosen Standing together. there is no
political enemy in Ramsey County, no mat
ter of how many "isms" it may be made up,
can conquer it. Divided, it is like the IN
bound bundle of sticks. Unity of purpose
and action, with the determination of select
ing good and true men only, in view, will
secure triumph as certain as the day Of
election will come

amply fitted to discharge the duties of the
several Offices which are to be filled, and
they should be sought out The people
want good, quiet, capable men, and not
noisy, brawling politicians. They want
those who will discharge, with understand
ing, the duties assigned them, and be fully
competent to do so in every way. They
want :hsir affairs placed where they can
feel reliance upon the custodian, that can
not easily be shaken. There are plenty of
such men in the Democratic ranks. Let
the Democratic Convention order them to
step to the front, and prepare for special

THE RArrIEsNAKE's BITE AND It's ANTI
DorE.-The reason why the bite Of this
reptile is usually so fatal is said to be this:
The poison or fluid which acts as such, is
sues from the fangs, and is secreted in the
wound made " the bite This fluid chills
and crystalizes the blood, and benumbing
steals gradually over the frame, like that
felt by freezing person, the blood being
like water in freezing state. TO counter
act this effect, brandy or rum taken imme-
dately after the bite, or soon as convent
ent, and in such quantity as to make a
person tipsy, will destroy the effect of the
poison and serves as safe and sure anti
dote. Many lives have been lost from ig-
norance of this simple remedy.
