But somewhere turks a hidden spark
That into fame will sometimes burst.
ASTONISHING YIELD.-Some of the rich
est rock ever crushed in the United States
lately passed under the Morning Star Mill,
from the Morning Star ledge, Owyhee We

left Pioneer City for California were com

New DIGGINGs ON PAYETTE.-Quite a
large number of miners of Pioneer and Pla-

quarters on the Payette river. Some ex-

Pioneer city, and near the old Lewiston
trail. The diggings are reported rich as far
as prospected. They are located at the bed
of the stream which has been turned in sew
eral places and good drains opened. The

DINNER AS AN EDUCAToR--You will
find that great deal of character is impaired
and received at the table. Parents often
forget this, and therefore, instead of swal-
lowing your food in silence, instead of brood
ing over your business, instead of severely
talking about others, let the conversation be
genial, kind, social and cheering Don't
bring disagreeabe things to the table in
your conversation any more than you
would in your dishes For this rea-
son, too, the more good company you have
at your table the better for your children.
Every conversation with company at your ia
bic is an educator of the family. Hence,
the intelligence and the refinement, and the
appropriate behavement of the family which
is given to hospitality. Never feel that in
telligent visitors can be anything but
blessing to you and yours. How few have
fully gotten hold of the fact that company
and conversation at the table are no small
part Of education DR. Told.
