A Voice.

John 0. Fall of Wilcox one of the pioneers of this section of the earth, writes as follows to the Bulletin of Solomonville;
 "At the time the new constitution was submitted in Nevada I voted against it for want of population and the necessary increase of taxation. In the latter I was mistaken. After statehood much greater amount of taxable property was reached, conse- quently our taxes were less; and be, coming state with over $320,O00 of a debt, inside of a year every dollar was paid and nearly $500. 900 in cash re- mained in the state treasury. For my life I can't see why young men should vote against the constitution. Many of them expect to make this their home for life. Should the pres ent constitution be defeated it will settle statehood for,the next ten years. ''

This occurred below the custom house. The gun, which was on the bottom of the wagon, was pulled out with the blankets and discharged, the contents passing through tbe wrist and arm of the unfortunate man. Had the full force of the charge struck him he would have been killed instantly.

EIGHT HUNDRED OLD MAIDS.
A Community Where the Men Have No
 Business to Be.

A Community Where the Men Have No
 Business to Be.
 When in Ghent l struck 8 queer com munity, says a traveller. It is called the Begu image, and is a community of women who form sort of old maids home. It was established in the sev- enth century. and has fourished ever since in separate quarter of the city. having been originally surrounded by a wall
 The houses are almost all uniform in size, being two stories in height and built of brick, and the streets run through them in every way, radiating toward the square, in which is erected their large and beautiful church. The women are bound by no vows, but are compelled to observe a certain order of religious exercises as long as they re! main in the community and to pay their allegiance to the superioress selected by them.
 They must pay their way. of course, and to do so must either have money of their own before going or earn their living by doing such work as is given
 them, which is mainly lace making and fine sewing. They nave a regular habit, like other nuns, which it is oblig- atory on them to wear, and they go and come pretty much as their fancy leads them. There are now something over eight hundred in the community. Just fancy what @ field there is in Pitts burgh for an institution of this kind.

4 PREACHERS STORY.
His Experience with the Champion Mean
 Man.


 Man.
 In 1872 was pastor of church in a beautiful New Hampshire village, writes minister to the Chicago Trib- une. Among the members was an el- derly farmer residing seven miles from the church. It was generally known that he had some fifteen thousand dol lars or eighteen thousand dollars in bonds and other securities, besides a large and well-stocked farm. At his earnest and repeated solicitations to preach some Sunday afternoon in an old church near his home finally con- sented. It was an exceedingly warm Sabbath in July. I hired horse and carriage. drove to the old meeting house and preached to perhaps one hundred people After the service the old gen. tleman invited me to call at his house. did so in the hope that he would pay my horse bill or at least offer me a lit tie food, for had tasted none since breakfast. In both was disappointed. As I was leaving asked him if he would give me two or three apples to eat on the road back home. He pro- duced four small russet apples. Know ing his penurious disposition I said: "How much shall pay for these?" "I guess about three cents," was the reply. 'I would give 'em to you, but it's get ting late for apples and they are mighty scarce round here"

PHOTo0RAPHlNo WOMEN.

Members of the Theatrical Profession the
 Best Posers.
 It is a well-known fact that theatrical women take far better photographs than those out of the profession, and the rather stupid question is often asked why this should be. ''I am tired of explaining to ladies'" said photog- rapher to New York Sun reporter, recently, "that as long as they do not look like actresses out of a picture. they should not expect to in one. You will find that the very woman who would disdain to have a theatrical appearance on the street is set on having it in a photograph. She wishes to look flashing. assertive and passionate, and is never satisfied when l make her her own sweet self. Now, cannot pose ordinary women as can an actress, for the req son that they haven't the ability to fall into the attitude want. Then, again, they are usually unable to throw the particular expression into their faces that they wish to have there, and this an actress can do. Above all, lady not of the profession seldom makes up her face when she is photographed. or. if she does, it is badly done. I always touch up woman's face a bit with crayon if she will allow me, but she usually won't. The skillful actress makes up in pronounced manner, her eyes heavily shadowed and her lips made blood-red. can soften where I cannot accentuate in finishing picture, and so, when these congregations of the actress are toned down, her eyes merely look large and brilliant, and her mouth clearly defined. It's the same way with the men. An actor knows how to pose, to begin with, and, as general thing, he makes up his face as he invariably does on the stage. There is really no use of men and women in private life hoping to get photographs that will be as striking and satisfactory as those of actors and actresses, unless they are willing to take course of dramatic training and study the art of makeup"

He heard all the jobs they were putting up and all other plans but could not get over to the other side to post the boys without creating suspicion. He learned lesson then and always takes . chance now in Uncle sam's Lottery.
