TIE Democratic Platform Translated
Into Plain English.

/. We stick yet to what principles we
have left to us, excepting that we take
back and bury out OF sight all thai we
have said heretofore against a military
candidate without civil qualifications or
experience. Such leaders we now be-
lieve in.
p We believe also in variegated,
spotted tariff, including free whisky,
without which the Democratic party
would cease to be, That is what we
mean by tariff for revenue.
3. We heartily recommend three
kinds of barrels: First, barrels of money
constantly on tap at the North; second,
double barreled shOtguns for Democrat
ic colored games at the South, and
third. barrels of whisky, tapped at each
end. for the use of Democratic voters at
the Southwest and West.
We recommend the union of the
three in all doubtful States and for the
conversion of minorities into working
majority. All voters should be pro
vided also with double ballots, and all
canYassing Democratic Inspectors and
Returning officers with that species OF
liquid entertainment which will enable
them to see and count double.
4. We are in favor of hard or soft
money, according to the latitude oil
longitude of the polling places and
there in abundance.
3. We are heartily in favor of Demo
cratic majorities however obtained. As
Jefferson so we'll said, or ought to, if he
didn't" Eternal majOrities are good
for the Democratic idea of freedom"
6. Our old and tried servant. Tilden,
who worked so hard and unscTupulOusly,
we discharge with this rare certificate
of character: :" He is first-rate cipher
and will do more dirty work without
firing than any servant we ever had
not excepting Buchanan, Pierce or Van
Buren. To pawnbrokers, broken down
insurance and railroad companies, we
heartily commend him. He wants high
pay, but he Is worth it. t."-ERgiewoOl

Bucked Over a Precipice.

George Clement, of Oakland, school
teacher, narrowly escaped death, yes
terday afternoon, while hunting in Hall 5
Valley, about fourteen miles from town.
He came across fine buck and fired.
The animal fell to the ground and lay
as if dead. Mr.. Clement fastened up
to the body and was engaged in an in
spection of its fine proportions when the
animal suddenly spraDg up and rushed
on him. Mr.. Clement was taken un-
awares, but instead of retreating he
grasped the antlers of the infuriated
animal and for few moments held him
at arms length like wise. They stood
facing each other several moments,
when the hunter began to yield gradual
ly to his most formidable antagonist.
The buck finally seemed to be infused
with new life, and, with a desperate
effort, hurled the hunter over cliff.
They both rolled down together to the
bottom of the precipice, about eighty
feet. The buck was killed before he
reached the bott0m, and Mr.. Clement
had his collar-bOne broken and sus-
tanned severe bruises. When Mr.. Glenn
ent was able TO arise he crawled up the
cliff. and, after a great effort, managed
to reach his horse. He rode TO the
nearest habiiaticn, suffering great pain.
DIR. Caldwell, of San Jose, was imme-
diately summoned, and late last night
visited the sufferer. The man is now
at Skaters ranch, in Halls Valley,
and will be laid up for some time

AIIigators' Nests.

These nests resemble haycocks. They
are four feet hilh, and five in diamete-
at their bases, being constructed with
grass and herbage. First, they deposit
one layer of eggs on floor of mortar
and having covered this with a stratum
of mud herbage eight inches thick, lay
another set of eggs upon that, and so on
TO the top, there being commonly from
100 to 200 eggs in a nest. With their
tails they then beat down round the
dense grass and reeds, FIVE feet high, 10
prevent the approach of unseen enemies.
The female watches her eggs until they
are hatched by the heat of the sun, and
then takes her brood under her own
care, defending them and providing for
their subsistence. Doctor Lu.zember, of
New Orleans, toli the writer that be
once packed up one Of these nests with
the eggs in box for the museum OF St.
Petersburg, but he was recommended
before he closed it to see that there was
no danger OF the eggs being hatched on
the voyage. On opening one young
alligator walked out, and be was soon
followed by the rest, about 100, which
he fed in his house, where they went up
and downstairs, whining and barking
like young puppies.

An Interesting Marriage.

A pair of sightless lovers have been
married in Cincinnati. The bride has
been blind since childhood, but having
received an education at the institution
for the blind at Columbus, has been
more of a comfort than a burden to her
friends, for she had learned 10 play on q
cabinet organ and to sing swcetly, and
to be, moreover, of great assistance in
the household Last June she attended
a convention of the blind, and her sweet
voice caught the ear of former pupil
of the same institution where she had
formerly been 10 school. This was a
blind man with soft heart. and he re-
solved to go to Cincinnati and ask her
to marry him. While be was waiting
for her answer. the house where she
was living caught fire, and her mother
was burned TO death. This sad event
occurred few days ago. and now the
two blind lovers have gone on their
honeymoon.-Nea0 York Tribune

How They Capture Hyenas.

The following mode Of t3ing hycnas
in their deng, as practiced Ia Afghan
istan, is given by Arthur Connolly in
his Overland Journal" in the wOrds
of an Afghan chief. the Shirkarcc Synd
Daoud.
when you have tracked the bcas,
TO his den, you take rope with two slip
knots upon it, in your right hand, and
with your left holding felt cloak before
you, you go boldly but quietly in. The
animal does not know the nature OF the
danger and therefore retires to the back
of his den, but you may always te..
where is head is by the glare of his eyes
You keep on moving gradually toward
him on your knees, and when you are
within distance throw the cloak over
his head, close with him and take care
he does not free himself. The beast is
so frightened that he covers back, and
though he may bite the felt, he cannO,
turn lis neck round to hurt you; 50 you
quietly feel for his foreices, slip the
knots over them, and then, with one
strong pull, draw them tight up 70 the
back Of his neck and tie them there.
The beast is now your own, and you
can do what you ike with him. We
generally take those we catch home To
the kraal, and hunt them on the plain
with brides in their mouths, that our
dogs may be taught not to fear the
bru es when they meet them wild
Hyenas are also taken alive by the
Arabs by very similar method, exc y
that a wooden gag il used instead Of
felt cloak. The similarity in the mod
OF capture in two such distant countric,
as are Algeria and Afghanistan, aar
by two races 50 different, is remarkab.e
From the fact that the Afghans consiGc.
that the'feat requires great presence ct
mind, and no instance being given Of a
nan having died of a bite received in
clumsy attempt, we may infer tha, tLe
Afghan hyena is more powerful or more
icrocious than his African congeuer.

A Dogs Ear.

A shepherd once had a dog whom
he used to take very much into his con
tidence, for the intelligent animal seemed
to understand everything that was said
TO him, and some things, as you will sec, h,
that were not intended for his ears.
His master was once going TO a place
some miles away from his home, and
said TO his mother the night before he
started, Il won't take Hector with
me-"
When his master started on his jour.
ney, Hector was nowhere 10 be found.
The river that had to be crossed was so
swollen by rain that the shepherd was
Obliged to 90 long way round; but
when he reached the other side, there
sat Hector among the rushes. He had
caught the name of the place TO which
his master was going, and started off 10
swim over, undeterred by the expanse
of water that had to he crossed.

How TO Press "a Turkey.

There is much practical wisdom
among the poultry men that does not
get into the papers or books. A turkey
raiser who prides himself on sending TO
market the handsomest lot of turkeys
in his town, for the Christmas market,
tells US how he dresses his birds. The
turkeys are fed rs usual the night before
butcherine, and in the morning are
driven in upon the barn floor as soon
as they come from the roost and are
made secure. Their crops are empty,
and they can be caught as they are
wanted. Make a slip moose OF strong
cord for each turkey, in an adjoining
stable or shed, put the turkeys legs into
the moose, and with n small pointed
knife stick the bird as near the head as
possible. AS soon as the bird is dead
strip of the feathers, pinteathers and
all. Cut the neck off as near the head
rs possible, remove the wings and draw
the entrails, before taking the bird down.
The turkey is hung UP alive, and taken
down ready for market. Lay the bird
on his breast or side upon clean board
to cool. Turkeys should be carefully
handled in dressing to avoid breaking
the skin, for it rubs off very easily
when they are warm. Remove all the
pinfeathers and pack the birds when
sent to market in clean straw, so that
there will be no marks of blood upon
a.
add cent pound, and often more, to
the market price of all kinds of poultry.
