THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

The Democratic National Convention meets
Ut Chicago on the 9th inst, and it is already
certain that there will not only be full attend
ence Of delegates but q very large gathering DO
side of deeply interested outsiders. Some o.
these will be more influential in controlling the
result than majority of the delegates; though
ne Judge that Deau Richmond of Buffalo will
be the master.spirit Of the occasion, while Jane;
Guthrie of Kentucky will doubtless exert very
considerable power. Each Of these has been
uggested for the Prcsidency-not Of the Con.
ention, but of the United States; but Rich.
,ond utterly scouts the idea Of his nomination,
isisting that, while there are several posts "
fhich his abilities are adapted, the White House
) not among them. This decision does credit to
the ointment shrswdness of the chief of the Al.
bsny Regency. Mr. Guthrie would probably
IKE tho nomination, and would make very
6kr President; but he is over 20 years old, and
we think that fact will operate 10 bis prejudice.
The present exigency demands live man o.
President.

ing candidate OF the Convention will be select.

4 GRIGUb 1T URAb,
The Strawberry Culture.

There appears to be general disagree
ment in relation to the culture OF straw
berries, especially as to soil and manure.
A gentleman, an experienced fruit
grower, who called upon us few days
since. said he had come to the conclusion
that we made our strawberry beds too rich
His greatest success had been when he
planted 10 ordinary ground, and did not
tap dress.
He, however, agreed with US 10 the opin-
ion that moist, cool situations, even where
there was a little shade portion of the
day, was to be preferred; also that, as a
rule, hill-planting should not be adopted,
though with few varieties it might De the
best Planting broadcast, as it may not be
inappropriately called, viii in almost every
instance give more fruit, and the beds will
last longer. 1t is true some growers renew
their beds every two or three years; but If
there is success in securing a gOOd bed, We
should by all means advise it to be cOntln-
ued as long as it will produce profitable
crop. We removed bed Of HoYey's Seed
ling, after bearing most bountitully for six
years, and have been sorry that it was not
allowed to 90 year or two longer, as we
have not had so good bearing bed since,
with all the renewals.
In preparing new beds for planting out,
we think it can be advised with the best
effect, to dig the ground deeply and pulver-
ize thoroughly, putting in the manure that
1t is intended to apply while the bed lasts;
and the plants should he set as deep in the

Clrenit Judge.

The Central Committee having called
cOnv sntion for the nomination of candi-
date for Judge Of the 5th Judicial District,
the subject of a suitable person for the
Office is being discussed somewhat by
the people. Iowa County having furnished
the Judge for this district since our first
State organization, we have no claims to
present for a successor to Judge Cothren.
1t appears to be conceded by all, that
Grant County is entitled to the candidate,
and from present appearances, she Is not
wanting for the material for the position
We have heard the names of j T. Mills,
J. Allen Barber, and :. O. Paine, Esq's,
all mentioned in connection with the
iudgeship, either of whom, we have no
douot, would FIJI the Office with honor to
himself and credit to his constituents
We have not at this time any preference
to express in favor of either Of those gen
tlemen, but feel satisfied that the citizens
Of Grant County, who are best acquainted
with the men will bring before the con
vention and urge the claims of the best
man for the position.
The name of Mr. Barber ia already be-
fore the public. A few of the citizens of
Boscobel have published a call upon him,
and he has replied, signifYing his willing
ness TO become a candidate, subject how
ever to the will Of the convention This
call may have been intended as an effort
TO forestall the action Of the convention,
as is supposed by some, but we believe
Mr.. Barber innocent of any such desire.
Whatever NAV have been the intention of
anv one who participated in the call and
reply. we hope the convention will not be
influenced IN any way by the action thus
had Let us have the best man for the
Office, regardless of any previous action
We have heard the name of Mr. Magoon,
of Shullsburgh. spoken OF as a suitable
person for the Office While we cOncede
to Mr. Magoon the necessary quail fications
for the Office. and would cheerfullv sup
port him if nominated by the Union Con
vention which meets at PlatteEille on the
23d, we feel it duty u yield to Grant
County the candidate at this time, well
knowing as we do that she has the mate
rial for good Judge, and o desire to
place one of her citizens upon the bench.

For the Tribune.
Ttiljty of Vaccination,


Ia every community persons may be
found who doubt the utility of vaccinating
man for the kline por, as a protection
against small por These doubters are
mostly the disciples of Hahnemann, who
taught that vaccination was not only use
less, but even dangerous to the future
health of the yaccinated. And what did
he advocate instead of vaccination He
proposed to powder the small pox scab
with sugar of milk, and administer it in
ternally, both as q curative and preventive
of that disease! And this is now the
homeopathic remedy for that pest-veri-
flying the proposition, that 'the hair Of
the dog ,ci3 care ats bate -
But without discussing the utility of
vaccination at length. it may be laid down
as a settled proposition, that, not only is
kline pox safe protection against small
pox, but it is also safer and better pro-
lection against the latter, than the small
pox is against itself.
Now, how is this? Because people
sometimes have small pox twice, yea, even
the third time-and apparently more Sc
we're at each recurrence; so that persons
escaping the first and second time, have
died of the third attack Hence, when
small pox prevails as an epidemic, there
will be certain per centage of deaths
from small po1 among those who have
previously had the disease
How is it with the kline pox? Do not
They do, but in ! modified form, called
rarioloid, which is comparatively harm
less Besides, even modified small pox is
very unlikely to follow very soon after
kline pox, although more likely to occur
than small pox after itself; and notwith
standing the much greater frequency of
rarioloid after vaccination, than of small
pox after small pox. still the rate Of NOR
tality among the unmitigatei cases of
small pox, is higher than among those
having the rari0loid, that Is, the disease
modified by vaccination Thus, Of
thousand persons who have been variola-
ted, more Will die of small pox by second
attac ks, than among thousand persons
who have had kline pox, and who take the
disease in the modified form of uarioloid !;
for, while not one case of rarioloid in a
hundred, dies, about one half the cases
of small pox die, in severe epidemics-
These facts cannot be successfully con
troverted
How may the advantages of vaccination
be secured by all
Every child should be thoroughly vac
cinated with fresh virus from a healthy
child. Secondly, re-vaccination should be
performed every FIVE to ten years not
from absolute necessity, but for safety,
because the protective power of yaccina-
ton runs out in some persol in q short
time, while in others single vaccination
is protection for life-and nobody knows,
lcithout trial, after lapse of years, wheth-
er he can safely rely on his old scar for
protection. Therefore there is both q
public and private duty devolving on pa
rents and guardians, to have their children
and wards duly vaccinated, and re-vaccin-
ated at proper intervals, not only to add
greater security to their lives, but also to
conduce TO the general health
