TFNDKRNESSOP MR. CORI.ISS.
Mr. Corliss, the famous engine build
er. of Providence, not veiy long before
liii death, had occasion to build an ad
dition to liis big manufactory, a big u L,"
for additional luuehineiy To prepare
tlio foundation for this L it was neces
sary to remove a ledge of rock by blast
ing, The men to do the work on tha
addition had been employed and put on
the pay roll; the material had born pur
chased and broughs to the building, and
the work of blasting had begun. The
next morning Mr. Cotliss passed by the
place where the work was proceeding,
when the foreman i> charge, knowing bis
interest in pretty things, called hint.
"Sco here, Mr. Corliss," said he,
"here's a bird's nest that we've found,
and that's got to go '*
He showed the manufacturer a robin
sitting up-") a nest thai had been bftilt,
fast and snug, in a crevice ef the rook,
among some bushes that grew there.
The bird flew oif Iter nest as the men
oime near, and showed five blue eggs
that looked as if they bad just been laid.
"('an we move that nest somewhere
else *" asked Mr. Corlcss.
 I'm afraid not, sir. We'd tear it to
pieces getting it out, and it isn't at nil
likely tliat you oould get the bird to go
to sitting agnm any whore clsa. We've
got to go on, so we may as well rip it out
and throw the eggs away."
"So,'' said Corless," we won't disturb
her. !et her bring bar brood right
there."
"Uut we'll havo to stop the work on
the building."
"Let it then."
And so orders were given that opera,
tions on the addition should be suspend
ed. They were suspended; and the
hands stood still, drawing their pa; for
doing nothing, or nost to nothing, wbilo
the robin sat on her nest with as air of
great consequence and tealous attention
to business, and bad her food brought
by her Mate, and at last hatched hot
brood. And then there were throe
weeks n.ora to go by, at the loaat, before
the young ones ooald fly, Corliss visit
ed the nest frequently, not with any un
easiness or impatience to bare the robin
and young ones out ol tie way, but with
a gonuiue interest in theu growth. Tbe
old birds had all the tme they wanted;
and when at lut they bad sternly help
ed the clumsy, reluctant youngsters
over the odge of the neat, and they show
ed themselves able «o get about on their
own orders were given to reenme
the building operations', and the dall
booiu of the gunpowder tearing the roeks
apart was heard where the birds had
peeped. —Boston Transcript.

NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRA
CY
Pt.ATrOMI or PARTT adopted in
BTATK CONVtNTION At lULr
HUH, MAT, 1888.
We again condgratnlatc the people of
Nirth Carolina oo the caotititied eojey
aant of peace, good government and
gofeorai proßpoiuy uuuer Democratic
administration of the State wliicb has
DOW hem unbroken for so nun; yearn;
upon ibe jut acd impartial enforcement
of Ihe law, upon the efficien
cy of onr oummuQ n-booi j,.ui, and
the progress .nade hi papular eduoatioti;
upon the improvement and entcrpri.se
manifested in all parts ot the Statu. VVc
•gain challenge a comparison between
the state of thing* and thfc outrages,
crimes and sepals which attended Ue
publican an i jnour border*. We
pledge sunelvea to extri in the future
as in the past our best efforts to pto
moto the best interests of th» people of
all Motions of the State. Affirming our
adhorenoc to Democrats principles as
hertofore enunoiated in the platforms of
the party, it is boreby
Resolved, That no government has
the right to burdei. it* people with tales
bevond Ihe amount requires to pay- its
necessary expenses and gradually extin
guish its public debt; and that when
ever the revenues, however derived, ex
ceed this amount, they should be reduc
ed, so aa to avoid a surplus in the treas
ury. That any system of taxation which
necessitates the payment of a premium
of s'27o bj the government ou each $1 ,-
000 of its bonds, taken up with the mil
lions that would otherwise lie idle iu its
vaults, and paid to boodfitilders who
purchased in many instance! l , at less
than par, is undemocratic, oppressive
and iniquitous aud should be refunded.
The course of eur Democratio Represen
tatives in Congress, iu their efforts to
give relief to the people from burden
same internal revenue and tariff taxa
tion, meets with the approval of the
Deuiscratio party of this State and we
rei-pcctfully recommend that is they find
it impossible togive to the people all the
relief they demanded, tbey support any
just and practical measure prOrented in
Congress that will afford a practical re
lief from such existing burden.
Resolved, .That while the details ot
tho methods by which tbe (> istitutional
revOMM* tariff Ml tw reached
are which the representative* of
our our people at the national capital
must be trusted to adjust, we think tho
eostom duties should bo levied for the
production of publio revenue, and tho
discriminations io their adjustment
should be sueb as will place tlio highest
rates on luxuries and tbe lowest on the
necessaries of life, distribute as equally
as possible the unavoidable burdens of
taxation, and COD tor the greatest goad
on the greatest number.
Resolved, That we, aa heretofore, fa
vor, and will never oeaae lo demand, tbe
unconditional abolition of tbe whole in.
ternal revenue system, as a war tax, not
to be justified in liases of peace; as a
grievous burden to onr petyle and a
souroo of annoyance in its practieal op
eration*. We eall the attention of tho
people of the Btate lo the bypocritioal
pretensins of the Republican paity in
their platforms that tbey are in favor of
the aopeal ot this onerous system taxa
tion, enacted by their party, while tho
Repi blicans in C.ogress are taxing their
energies to obstruct all legislation in
augurated bo tbe representatives of tho
Democratic party to lelievo the people
of all or a part of this odious system.
Resolved, That the course of tbe
Deaweratio party, in furtherance of pop
ular education, is a sufficient guarantee
that we iavor the eduoation of tbe peo
ple, aud we will promote and improve
tbe present edueatienal advantages so far
as it oan be done without burdening the
people by excessive taxation.
Resolved, That to moot an existing
evil, we will aoeept, fer educational pur
poeea, from the Federal Government or
pro ratm share of the surplus in its trea
sury; Provided, that it be disbursed
through state agents and tho Mil for
the distribution be free from objection
-1 able features.
Resolved, That tbe Halted States be
ing one government and ours a national
parly, we denounce the efforts of tbe
Republicans to force sectional issues in
Congress and elsewhere, and to promote
distention and ill will batwsen the peo
ple of tbe different sections of our com
mon oouutry.
Resolved, Tbat it is due te the peo
ple of out eastern eountiea, who have eo
cheerfully borne their share of our oom
mon burdens, that (he present or some
equally effective system of oounty gov
ernment shall be maintained.
Resolved, Tbat the Demooratis party
is opposed to any further extension of
tbe "No-fenoe" law, no lest such exten
sion shall have feat been authorised by
majority of tho qualified voters within
the territory to be affsoted thereby.
Resolved, That tbe Democratic party
has ever been tbe party of tbe working
man, and has never fostered monopolies,
nor oave "trusts" ot "combination" or
"pools" ever crown up under laws en
acted by it. Tbe oouteet i» this coun
try being between age legated oapital,
seeking to erusb out uf commotion, and
tbe individual laborer, the Demoeratie
party is, a* it has ever been.agaanst tbe
mouopoliat and in favor of a just dia ri
bution of oapital, aud demands tho ea
aetment of lawa that will boar equally
upon all. - s
Resolved, That as all taxation bears
■tat heatily upon tho laborer, it is the
duty of the legislator, •• a direct benefit
to the warkingnian, to keep the expenses
of Mr publlolnstitution, at the lowest
limit consistent with wise and efficient
management. The Democratic party
opposes any competition between Ire.
•fed convict labor, but it In.ists that
convict* .hail not rctaaiu idle at the ex
pense of honest. labor.
Resolved, that ours betog an agricul
tuml State, it i. oar daty m well a* owr
pleasure to promote an; and .11 legisla
tion that is best calculated to advance
the interest!) of agriculture, and that ia
10 doing we will most effectually advance
tho interest of mechanics, manufactur
ers and laborer*.
Resolved, That tfifc Democracy of
North Carolina, cordially approrc tho
administration of Hon. Alfred M. Scales
as honest, patiiotio and conservative.
Resolved, Thnt the abihty, wisdom,
honesty, patriotism, independence, faith
fulness to duty and inauly courage of
Presidett Cleveland have won the admii«
ation of all good men; and the interestn
of the country demand his re-nominati.o
and re.elcetiou.
A HUMfKR AND 1118 DOG
An old hunter in Mexico gavo to tbe
author of "Sumiuerland Sketches" bis
experience with a favorite hound, which
exhibited teeliugs that would houor hu
manity.
•'You have no idea." said he, "how
tbey get used lo you if you are alone
with them for weeks together; the wors*.
of if is tbat it oomes so awful hard an a
fellow to lose a creature of tftat kind.
"I bought a tine Scotoli dcerhound in
Baltimore in '66 1 bad him aearly 8
years, and I tell you, sir, I felt like
shooting myself *licn I lost him. Tho
Mexicans poisoned him because lie
wouldu't let tlieiu come near my smoke
Louse at night.
"No square, straightforward poisiu,
either, for it took Iniu a whole week to
dio. It just went through me like a
knife to hear him wninc, and perhaps 1
ought to have put him out of his misery,
but I was thinking of all the scrapes wo
had helped eaoh other out o£ we had
trulnn riU'J tvas To
as aud Arkansas, and I couldn't kill
bim while there waa a ghost of a chance
of his pulling through."
The voice of tbe old rough became in
articulate at the recollcctiou. fie had
spread the dog's oouah at tbe side of bit
ewn bed, and patted bis shaggy coat till
be lay silent and motionless.
But late in the evening, when the
logs in the fireplace had flickered al
most their last, the bound raised bis
head and placed it upon his master's
arm, looked into bis eyes and sank back
dead, like tbe last pressure of a human
hand, a farewell mutely spuken, hut not
easy to forget.-^Kx.

PRESERVING BUTTER
A California former write*- i havw
learned by long experience about ma
king wbat 1 call good butter and pre
serving it uice and tweet »fter it it
made. To keep butter good that is
uiudo iu the fall m one thing, but to keep
that good that is made in the summer in
quite another. Our best and richest
butter i.i made in May, June an 1 July,
when the cows milk strung. 'Hie best
of butlur may easily be kept pood till
April of the following year, and here is
the way Idu it: First it in nut be good
butter when made. All the butter milk
must be worked out. My practice for
years has been to thoroughly wash the
butter before it is taken out of tho
oburn, and I am confident that the plan
is a good one. Suit to suit the last* of
those who are to eat it; balf an online*

right. Keep out all voupsaltpetro, su
gar or other ingredients. It will keep
better without them, anJ, peihaps, too,
without salt, but would not b« so pala
table. Do up the butter each week, on
churning, in neat, tound rolls of tiro or
three pound* each, just what you hare to
put down; cover each roll with a clean

twice wr more, that it will be completely
enveloped, and .sink it in a strong brine,
as strong as the beat salt will make it.
Stinc vessels are.the best. When tho
rolls are in they may be kept down by
means of oleau flat stones. When the

spring house, and see if it is not worth
a winter aud spring 100 per oent, mure

way I have kept my winter supply of
butter for many years, and have never
yet failed, but mark, the butter must
be good, well workod, and tlioiUd, by
all means, be wrapped up and sink

ohnrned, not kept lying about fo(, two
