ELY NOTES.

Ely. March /. 1888.
The Boards of County and Court
House Commissioners will meet next
Monday.
\ ball will he given by the citizens
Of Ely in the Court House, Tomorrow
night.
Weber's saloon is finished and will
soon be put in running order. Boss
will come down himself to run it.
While Ely does not claim to possess
"boom." still there has hardly been
n time during the past winter when at
least one house was not building.
There are quite a number of idle
miners here-probably as many as
will be able to obtain employment.
Owing to the we'll known mild climate
of Ely, a large portion of those who
worked here last sum- ler and fall were
induced to winter here, and are here
vet. and lately there has been an in
hux from the surrounding snow BIO und
camps.
About four or five inches of snow
fell yesterday morning and the night
before. 1t was thankfully received as
it will completely lay the dust, which,
owing to the great amount of travel,
has been troublesome during the past
two weeks. Since the storm, the
weather has been clear and cold, and
the flies, which were becoming num-
erous, are again taking a rest.
The Ely G.. NJ. & NJ. Co. are putting
in the concentrators which recently
arrived. AS soon as they are put in
and the teams can haul ore, the mill
will start up and will make what is
certain to be a successful run. The
mine is looking splendid, and while
no ore has been taken out except what
was encountered in prospecting the
mine during the past winter, still the
dumps are full of ore and no more
miners can be put on until the teams
come to clean off the dumps.

mine promises 10 be a permanent
property. At the Star, Cbas. w.
Kceney, who is in charge, and knows
the mining lay of the country better
than any man living, is very reticent,
but parties who are in position TO
know, tell US he has uncovered fine
body of rich ore in the upper levels of
the Star. Cherry will boom some
next summer.

PITH AND POINT.

One needs a knowledge of mankind
before one can be simply and wholly
oneself.
When we know how to appreciate
a merit, we have the germ of it within
ourselves.
-Sloth makes all things difficult, but
industry all easy, and he that riseth
late must trot all day.
Many persons criticise in order not
to seem ignorant; they do not know
that indulgenca is mark of the high
est culture.
No man ever went into debate who
was not blinded by selfish interests. "
If you don't believe this statement, ask
the other fellow.-PucE.
-Precept and example, like the
blades of a pair of scissors, are ad-
mirably adapted to their end when
conjoined; separated, they lose the
greater portion of their utility.
Many men have credit for wisdom
when the quality they possess is moth
ing more than "cuteness," which has
no regard for right, and utterly ig-
nores the thought of doing unto others
as they would have them do to them.
-"Who goes there?" said an Irish
sentry of the British legion, at st.
Sebastian. "a friend" was the
prompt reply. "Then stand where
you are," cried Pat; ''for, by the pow
ers, you're the first I've met within
this murtherin' country"
"A certain strain of nobility Of
character is needed to enable one to
see without envy the better fortune OF
his neighbor, even though that neigh
Dor be also his friend. 1t sounds abb
surd to declare that success is not sim
full in itself, but it is truth many
never learn, or if they believe, never
practice. HarLand.
"A gentleman in Oswego, N. Y, had
member of his family sick, and to
save intrusion from the neighbors put
mp sign on his front door: There's
sickness in this house." A German on
the opposite side of the street had his
wife die, and taking the cue from his
neighbor opposite, posted on his front
door: There's deadness in here!'
The consciousness of the loss of
bodily vigor by the gradual decay of
years is not in itself pleasant expert
ence to any one; yet all men must come
to it who live long enough. Nothing
but death before the period arrives can
save them from this experience. 1t is
folly to resist it. and wise to accept it
in patient submission.-N Y. I,1de-

An Albany lady tells of an abnor-
mally bright boy in Amsterdam who
called at the house of an aunt, where he
felt at liberty to do about as he pleased.
There were some beautiful oranges in
sight. The lady had evidently forgot
ten that boys are always hungry and,
did not offer him one; perhaps she had
forgotten that there were any in the
house. The young visitor concluded
that something would have to be done,
and said: ''Auntie, please give me an
orange" She told him that she hadn't
any oranges, to which he promptly re-
piled: ''You lieI" Frightened to think
how it sounded, he ran home and told
his mother, who Immediately sent him
back to apologize. The young man inn
proved matters by saying: ''Auntie, l

Some Illustrations of the Significance of
Several Odd Watch Charms.
A Western Jeweler- did you ever
notice the peculiar watch charms worn
by many peopleP You have! Well,
just ask a few of them what may be
the significance of some oddity which
bangles from their watch chains and
you'll often hear an interesting
yarn. I've made it practice to learn
the history of every charm worn by
such of my customers as were suffi-
GENTLY well known to me, and you can
almost use me as an encyclopedia on
that subject now.
''Among some of the odd things
which have come under my notice was
bit of rope strand which hung from
the chain of successful criminal law
yer of this place. 1t was once part of
the rope which hung a client of his,
and he carried it as warning for him
self, l suppose. At any rate 1 never
heard of another of his clients who de-
parted this world by the "hemp-
route Our chief of police here also
had an odd charm in the shape of a
miniature pollcem:sns staff, richly
jeweled, which was made from the
first staff ever carried by him when an
ordinary policeman, many years ago.
''About the most ridiculous curio l
ever saw was a little sealed glass tube
mounted in gold, which contained
few shriveled, stringy looking fibers.
They were nothing more than a few
straws taken from the stables of the
Queen of England by an enthusiastic
American admirer of royalty who was
making visit to the household. The
owner of the straws set a pretty high
value on them, too, but / don't think
he'd ever have been able to realize
over twenty-five cents for his charm.
ga funny story is told of an Amer
lean who once ascended Vesuvius dur
ing an eruption. Approaching too
near, the rash tourist found himself
suddenly almost surrounded by slowly
flowing lava, which settled and sent
forth its stencil only a few feet from
his point of observation. Not at all
daunted, our countryman took a nickel
from his pocket, pressed it against the
surface of a rapidly-cooling lava block
and breaking of the piece containing
the coin rapidly beat a safe retreat.
He subsequently had the impression
mounted, and delights in nothing more
than to tell of his adventure. "-JeWeE-

and each and all OF these know how

and each and all OF these know how
best to paralyze their prey.
The beautiful Cerceris, which feeds
upon weevils and on some lovely rich
colored metallic beetles called BupreS-
tes, attacks her prey quite differently
from the Sphex. For the quiet, pass
i've beetle does not need to be attacked
in a rush like the nimble grasshopper;
he trusts to his solid armor to protect
him. Yet the Cerceris has found out
the weak joints.
Coming face to face with him, she
seizes him by the snout and pins him
down, and as he cramps up his legs
with fright she presses his back strong
ly with her forelegs so as to make the
rings cape under his body, and turning
her sting under gives one and only one
blow between the first and second pair
of legs, and from that moment the
beetle moves no more.
Why then only one blow? Because
in these beetles the nervous centers are
all gathered together in this one spot,
and as the SpheX has learnt where to
plant her three blows, the Cereris knows
where to strike her one deadly stab,
leaving us in bewildering wonder at in
stincts which have become so true, so
unerring, that tnot even drop of poison
is wasted in providing diving meat for
insect larders. Youths Companion.
