JOSie'S Baby.

JoSie's Baby.
BY wM. y. JOHNSON.
Sister Josic's got baby!
(She is but a child, hcrsclf)
And her baby is laughing,
Crying, brisht-cycd little elf.
Well mind the April morning,
q Was scarcely five years old,)
Ada came with smiles Of gladneSs,
And wonlrous story told:
How q little Angel-cherub
TO our mother had been given
How a briyht.robcd scraph brought it
From its happy home in Heaven.
Dear me how the world whirls round us
bringing trouble, bringing change!
Now Mat baby's got baby!
Bless U.S. but tits very strange!
See the little darling sleeping
In her tiny feather-bcd!
Sec her smiling at the Angels,
As they hover der her head
Living thus in dreamy slumbcr,
q wonder il young babes 10 dreamy
She minds me Of y fragile flower
Cast upon rushing stream:
Now the bud goes spinning onwards,
Gaily from the friendly shore.
Till it disappears forever
Lost amid the oceans roar!
Hush she wakes: the lovely dreamer!
Sec the soft blue eyes unclosc.
Isn't she a faul,lcss beauty?
Peerless little bahy-rosc !
Sec her Clasp her little fingers!
Sec her blue eyes dance with slcc!
Precious little Angel-cherub! -
. Wko. can help but worship thee!
Hear her gentle, silvery voice,
Cooling like turtlc-dovc! .:
Though you were the crosscSt fellow,
Josie's baby you would love!
Then fare well, thou gentle flower,
Just unfolding to the sun;
May no SHADOWS soil thy petals,
Till the race Of life be run.
May ye bloom in rcrnal beauty,
Waiting incense to the skies,
Till from earth you are transplantcd,
To bloom forr'cr in Paradise

COMMUNICATION.

We cheerfully give place to the fol-
lowing communication from Mr.. John
Zapp, who evidently wishes to set him
self right upon the record, in relation
to the action Of the late Democratic
District Convention. AS we were not
present at the convention, we relied en-
tircly upon delegates themselves who
were in attendance for our report.
.: After all, when We look impartially
at the list Of candidates for the Legis-
lature, put in nomination by this
convention, we think it hardly fair to
discriminate. We must claim however,
with many others of both parties, that
in SO far as moral principle and patriot
ism is involved, Barney has unquestion-
ably the advantage over his colleagues.
EDITOR DEMocRAT.-In your last issue,
you represented me as saying, that B. Over
beck represented the intelligence and re-
spectability of the German population of
Stearns County, and good deal more in
the same strain, leaving the impression
on the minds of your readers, that felt
great interest, and used all the influence, in
order to secure the nomination of MIR. Over
beck.
The truth of the case is this AS late
as one hour before the session of the Dem.
ooratic District Convention, l did not even
imagine that Mr.. Overlook, would be a
candidate Except that Mr.. Edelbrock at
noon of the the same day, told me that he
thought MIR. Overlook was figuring for it,
At that time the majority Of the German
Delegates were in my office, when MIR.
Overlook came in, asking me, if there was

THE COMBAT DISPERSION III
BRAVE.

From all parts of the county and Dis
trict, we hear the cheering news of a
complete reputation of the nomina-
tions made by the Democratic District
convention, held in this city few days
since.
The enthusiasm with which certain
| candidates for the Offices of county
Treasurer and Register of Deeds hoped
the nominations would be received, has
terminated in a general outburst Of in
digration from those sources where en-
thusiasm was expected instead.
The German population Of Stcarns
county are awakening to the fact of this
late attempt, on the part of certain as
pirants, to mislead and misrepre>cnt
them, and we hear but one expression
with reference to it, and that is: "the
time Is past echen a fen demogogues H.
ST. Cloud can expect to rule the entire
county, and that the insult heaped u7oon
them IN the domination Of Over1ech,
as their representative, ayiW be unsver-
Ell at oar ne:ct election u, terms too clco,
to be mistaken :"
We honor and applaud the course
many of the most influential Germans
are pursuing in regard to this matter.
They feel the strokes made by the
aforesaid convention moro. keenly than
many others, as it effects directly their
natural pride. They, as people, have
ever been proud Of their positions on'alI
national questions, and no pcopleamong
all foreigners who have sought this asy-
lum have been more loyal to their adopt
cd country than they have proved
themselves to be, as was clearly demon
stratcd in Chicago, st. Louis, and in
fact ali through Missouri, where the
German element was in the majority
What is more, the Germans have a
pride for their national intelligence.
The German colleges, German libraries,
German literature and German profc.
fences in all the arts and sciences, have
given to the Fatherland the proud ii.
tie Of s'Thc Learned of Europe" and
those Of that nation who have taken ur
their abode i'll stearns county, are de-
termincd to never suffer the disgrace
of sending to St. Paul as their Repre-.
sentative, men celebrated only for igno'
rance, dcbauchcry and disloyalty. Grow
Wing is also loud in her denunciat,on
of the man whom the said convention
nonina ted to represent her interests
and if Tom Cathcart is returned to as
the Representative at large of this Dis.
trict, it will not be by the Legitimate
vote of Grow Wing county. So say
scores of honest Democrats living uT
the Mississippi river, and the response
from Stearns county is, "Amen,' "Sc

the good desires Of the government in
overcoming its enemies, aud were con-
tinually engaged in the low and damn
ing occupation Of denouncing os ''hire-
lings" those noble soldiers of the Un-
ion ARMY, who were Drawing the dan
gers OF camp-litc and battle field, that
those ccwardly sncsks at home might
have country they could call their
cwn,-wcrc continually arming them
selves for fresh assaults upon the I'm.
ion sentiment of the North, while there
was the least prospect Of success on the
part of the :rebcls, and when at last,
the country was saved contrary to their
hope, or desire, they then c,aw]ed syc-
ophantic-like from their shiny dens of
treachery and loathsomcness, and are
among the first to ask for positions in
the government they had labored SO
hardssto destroy.
Nor is this all though itself,
enough to damn them politically for
cver-that should defeat them in their
aspirations for Office. View the men
nominated by the Democratic convcn-
ton from, d moral and intellectual
stand point! They are, as we before
said, with one or two exceptions, pos
scsscd Of qualifications of the most in
ferior order, such as would not, in any
intelligent community, possessing par
ticlc Of self pride, procure FOR them the
positions Of ''sixth-rate' country school
teachers and having no moral charac-
ter to sustain the least possible dignity
they may assume, they are of course
untitled for the positions Of Represcn-
| tatives of moral and intelligent COM
munity. Yet they come forth covered
with the poisonous slime Of treachery
de6auched with every association Will
the ignorant and vicious habits OF thei'
nature, and ask their moral, respectable
! intelligent and loyal fellow citizens t.
| place them in Office.
In the name of common decency ant
humanity, we ask; will you do it?

THE COUNTY AND DISTRICT TICK
FIT.

Ell.
The citizens of the District and es-
peeially Stearns county, are by this
time fully aware of whom the two con-
rentions which assembled in this city,
have placed before them as candidates.
The.mental caliber of the candidates
is also we'll understood. not only their
natural abilities, but those requirements
and accomplishments which so readily
distinguish the gentleman from the
boor.
On the one hand, the Union Conven-
ton, irrespective of politics, in fact,
completely ignoring all the old political
issues which once estranSed the minds
of men of all parties, have ! laced i'll
nomination, true and loyal men-mcn
who are competent to fill with credit
and honor, the places assigned them
for the most part men who have done
noble service in riskiny their lives in
support of the government and flag
men who have. not soug hit the Offices to
which they were nominal d, and are,
from that fact ten times the more wor-
thy to occupy them if elected. While
on the other hand, the so-called DEM
ocratic convention nominated, with very
few honorable exceptions, men who arc
directly the very opposite, in character
and ability, to those to whom we have
just referred. 1t is now time that the
true and loyal men Of the district and
county, Of whatever political faith they
may once have been, to know that i
majority of those men selected by the
pretended Democratic convention for
them to support, are and have been
open aud ayowed enemies of the very
government they now seek to serve in
the different official capacities to which
they have been nominated.
While the very life of our country
was threatened by well-equipped and
desperate foe in 'front.' while our FREE
dom, the boon sought by hundreds of
the citizens of Stcarns county in COM
ing to this country, was menaced by a
people who should have been proud III
unfolding and sustaining it-while the
!. whole North was bleeding at every pore
from fratricidal wounds, and liberty
stretched forth her hands imploring aid
from free thinking and intelligent
people-the majority Of those nom;na-
ted by said convention, were using ev-
cry exertion in their power to thwart

VALUABLE PROPERTY FOR SALE.-One
of the most valuable tracts of land in
Ohio county, is offered for sale in our ad-
vertising columns this morning. For
eligibility of location and fertility Of
soil and evenness of surface ii. is not ex-
celled in this neighborhood 1t is really
splendid farm and if sold in lots as pro-
posed in the advertisement, it would
yield rich return to the gardener Its
nearness to the market renders it pecu-
liarlyivaluable for gardening purposes
But there is another feature about the
land that may render it even more valu-
able than for cultivation. A large por-
ton of it is perfectly level and smooth
and is capable of being converted into a
race course one mile long. indeed we be
lieve it is almost the only place in this
vicinity where mile track can be Sc
cured About twenty years ago it was
used for this purpose, and we doubt not
that if some enterprising man or compa-
ny were to purchase it now and apply it
to that purpose again, it conld be made
very profitable This is convenient
spot between the North and the South
and we doubt not that if race course
were established here it would soon be-
come a favorite meeting place for the
Kentucky and the New York horses. The
climate here would suit the Kentucky
horses better than Saratoga and the New
York horses better than Woodlawn. The
racing spirit is being revived very much
among the American people, and proba-
bly, not many years will elapse before we
come to rival our English brethren in de-
votion to that pastime.
If suitable hotel were erected upon
the land now offered for sale, it would
doubtless be favorite place of resort for
pleasure parties from the city and drive
upon the race course would be relished
more than buggy ride upon the turn
pike. Although, the place is one of the
most valuable for almost any purpose
that has been offered for sale here for a
long time, and its purchaser will secure
a good bargain.
