"Dust on Your Classes" !"

L don't often put on my glasses to eX-
anime Katy's work, but one morning,
not long since, did so upon entering
room she had been sweeping.
Z" Did you forget to open the windows
when you swept, Katy ?" inquired
"this room is very dusty"
"I think there is dust ON your eye
glasses, ma'am," she said modestly.
And sure enough the eye. glasses were
at fault, and not Katy. I rubbed them
off, and every thing looked bright and
clean, the carpet like new and Katy's
face said:
&C am glad it was the glasses, and
not me, this time.
This has taught me good lesson,
said to myself upon leaving the room,
and one L shall remember through
life.
In the evening Katy came to me with
some kitchen trouble. The cook had
done so and so and she had said so and
so. When her story was finished,
said, smilingly
There is dust on your glasses, Katy;
rub them off, you will see better"
She understood me and left the room.
told the incident to the children, and
it is quite common to hear them say to
each other:
90, there is dust on your glasses"
Sometimes am referred to:
Mamma, Harry has dust on his
glasses can't he rub 1t OFF,"
When hear person criticising an
other, condemning, perhaps, a course of
action he knows nothing about, drawing
inferences prejudicial to the person or
persons, think right away, "There's
dust on yoer glasses; rub it off," The
truth is, everybody wears these very
same glasses, only the dust is little
thicker on some than on others, and
needs harder rubbing to get it off.
said this to John one day, some little
matter coming up that called forth the
remark: "There are some people I
wish would begin to rub, then," said he.
"There is Mr.. So-and-So, and Mrs. So
and-So; they are always ready to pick at
some one, to slur, to hint-I don't know
don't like them"
81 think my son John has q wee bit
on his glasses just now"
He laughed and asked:
''What is body to doYn
"Keep your own well rubbed up, and
you will not know whether Others need
! 1t or not"
- will" he replied.
think as family, we are all profit
ing by that little incident, and through
life will never forget the meaning of
"There Is dust on your glasses"

ful old man That very. morning his
uncle had sent him to pay bill at the
country store, and there were seventy
two cents left, and Uncle John did not
ask him for 1t.
When they met that noon, this boy,
new In prison, stood there under the
beautiful blue sky, and great tempta-
tion came. He said to himself. "Shall
1 give 1t back, or shall wait until he
asks for it ~ If be never asks, that is
his lookout. The does, why, can get
1t again together"
He never gave back the money.
A theft OF twenty thousand dollars
brought this young man to the prison
door,bu when q boy he turned that way
years before, when he sold his honesty
for seventy-two cents.
That night he sat disgraced, and an
open criminal, in his chilly cell. Uncle
John was long ago dead. The old home
was desolate, his mother broken hearted.
The prisoner knew that what brought
him there was not the mans deed alone,
but the boys.
Had the ten-year- old boy been true to
his honor, life now would have been all
different One littleSoheating was the
first of many, until his character was
eaten out, could bear no test, and he
wrecked his manliness and his life.

Didn't Tumble.

Yesterday evening Tom Read. Charley
Broy and R. P. McDaniels were coming.ur
Main street from the Postofice, when Tom
noticed that the female dummy at Dun
kel's had blown over. "That's a shame
exclaimed Tom, alphabetically.
"Too id bad" calculated Charley,
who tumbled to the racket.
"what the DEVILS the matter ?" ex-
claimed Mac, ashe stopped reading q letter
he held in his hand.

About five seconds afterwards Mac said
they might choose their place to ''smile,'

Hamlet's ghost that never again can they
fool him on such o layout.

The IN

The London Mining News says the usual
telegram from the mines at Eureka, Ne
vada, states hat the weeks run was $780,
900. from $40 tons OF ore. During the
week the refinery produced dore bars to
the value OF S55, 900. The manager reports
that the 500 north, from No. IA chamber,
has been drifted IS feet, in favorable ground
for drifting. The 900 west drift has been
advanced l6 feet; the ground in this drift
is much more favorable than 1t has been
for some time. The 900 northwest, on
assure, has been extended IS feet. The
assure is we'll defined and regular, with
favorable ground on each side. The 900
winze has been advanced 10 feet; the
ground is still broken, with favorable in
dications for ore. The chambers are all
looking about the same, with the exception
OF No. 16, which has greatly improved. In
the western end a winze is being sunk in
very fine ore; at one place ii exposes 5 feet
Of black ~carbonates. In the 700 a drift
has been started on the quartzite, about 20
feet above the level, at which place there
is five feet Of good ore. The furnaces are
smelling their usual quantity Of ore. All
the machinery, both in the mine and
smelling works, is in good working order.

Ruby.Duuderberg.

Says the London Mining Journal: In
sinking the shaft at the Dunderberg the
ground was SO favorable that it has been
decided to continue the work and sink $50
feet. A large amount Of new ore bearing
ground will thus be more readily available.
All the workings at the mine show almost
unbroken ore ground, and the manage
ment reports that there need be no future
fears on the point of ample ore supply.
Owing to the snow shipments would ap-
pear to be still retarded, and no more ore
Is brought down than is necessary to keep
the furnace at work. The new hosting
works at the B~ullwhacker are reported as
being rapidly proceeded with.

The Silver State sums up the proceed
ings OF the Legislature to date About
two-thirds Of the sixty days to which the
Constitution limits q session have already
been expended in frothy yaporings which
amount to nothing. The greatest part Of
each daily session has been devoted to the
introduction of bills, nine-tenths Of which
ought never to be permitted to cumber the
statutes Of the State. As yet, no provision
has been made for the care OF the insane,
and nothing whatever has been done to-
ward providing for the support Of the
government for the next two years. 1t is
conceded that the rate Of taxation will have
to be increased from IS cents to ST., or
more but, though that is q matter of the
greatest importance to taxpayers, its con-
sideration is put off until the last days OF
the session. The bill creating a State
Board of Equalization, which was intro
duced In the Assembly a month ago, is
now shelved in the Senate, and a sbubsti-
tute introduced in its stead. Though the
session, up to date, has cost the people at
least $50, 900, they have received no equiv
alent for the outlay.

The Concert.

The concert on Ruby Hill last night was
but fairly attended, owing, doubtless, to
the bad weather. There were but few from
Eureka outside Of those who took part,
namely, Miss Katie cleveland, who was
received with enthusiasm; Mrs. Hedley,
who sang sweetly, and was loudly and re-
peatedly encored, and Prof. Pulling, who
won golden encomiums. The other per-
formers filled their parts creditably, and
the affair, as O whole, was o success.

two thirds OF the State, extending
from Franklin county in Eastern
North Carolina, entirely across to
The western boundary of the State.
The mines most extensively worked
are situated in Mecklenburg, Row.
an Cabarrus and CASTOR counties.
It is estimated that since the
North Crrolina mines were opened
they have yielded at least $12,O0G,'
900. j.
Coal is found in three localities
in the State. Extensive beds OF
bltuminous coal are situated in
Chatham countys about forty miles
from Raleigh. Other beds Of semly
bitumlnous coal lie IN Rockingham
and Stokes counties. 1t freqneuti-
crops out on the surface, and un-
derlies the bed Of one Of the princi-
pal tributaries of the Dan river.
These deposits have not been work
ed to any great extent, as wood is
abundant in this section Of the Stae
and there are no means of trans-
portion.
Graphite is also widely distribu-
ted throughout .he State, and spec
