PRIMARIES THIS EyENING.--UniOn men, rec
ollect that tonight you are to elect dele
gates to the County Convention which is to
convene at San Andreas, March 25th. That
body will choose delegates to the State Con-
vention, to be held in Sacramento on the 3lst
inst, which will elect ten delegates to the
National Convention at Chicago on May 20,
to nominate candidates for President and
Vice President, and draft platform. 1t is
of the utmost importance that the primaries
should be conducted fairly and squarely, and
in a manner that will preserve harmony and
good feeling. No cliqne OF faction, none
who have lakes to grind" should be allowed
to control the primaries or Convention. If
date, we must commence right and conduct
the campaign so as to ensure unity of action
We lost the election last Fall by bad manage
ment !; if we will we can retrieve our losses.
Union men, turn out en- masse this evening.
and choose men for delegates who will attend
to the affairs of the party instead of looking
after their own interests.
UNION CLUBs.-Measures should be taken
to secure an efficient organization of the
party, this Fall, throughout the county.
Nothing tends so directly to attract the at
tention of the people to political matters and
keep up the interest and enthusiasm, as to
meet and discuss the issues occasionally.
As good plan as any would be to form
Union Club in each precinct. By this means
the entire force of the party would be brought
out and its strength could be correctly es-
timated. We notice that such associations
ARE already being formed all over the State,
and there is no reason why Calaveras should
not follow the example. We would suggest
that prominent members of the party take
the mattor in hand, in the different precincts,
and form Union clubs all over the county.

The Red Sea is said to be the hot
test place in the world. The atm6s.
pherel for about sixty miles on that sea
is steamy and stickygii Everything in
heTshape of iron or steel about ship
takes on aocoat of rust. During the
summer months no one travels on the
Red Sea unless compelled by business
or military orders to do so. Inthe. win-
ter and, spring the passage is delight
full. Yet navigation in that body Of
water is always attended with many
dangers. The Red Sea is long and mar
row, with slnken rocks and projecting
reefs and counter winds prevail, which
produce dangerous currents. There are
three light. houses in the sea, which
must be kept by .salamander-like men,
since the thermometer runs up to, one
and twenty degrees in July,
and approaches ninety in early spring.
