He Met a widow in Philadelphia, and
She Was His.
Just outside the Pennsylvania depot
stood a colored woman, about forty
years old, smoking pipe, while satchel
rested on the planks at her feet. She
had come up from Philadelphia, and was
bound for some town up the Hudson.
BY and by middle aged colored man,
who had horse and cart outside, came
in and noticed the woman as he looked
about. After surveying her for a mo-
ment he approached and bowed and
scraped and saluted:
"Good mawnin, lady-good mawnin.
| Was yo' in trouble dis mawninT'
mo, sab, | wasn't in any trouble, ="
she replied.
"'Scuse me, lady, but yo' was strange

she replied, as she tried to look shy.
"Huhl OATS quare nuffl Ny ole

She looked at him with renewed inter
est as she smoked away, and he drew
little closer as he said:
"Doan' see no chil'en round yere wild

"Haint got none," she replied.
'Ize got two, an dey is powerful good,

She returned to the waiting room with
him, and they sat down together on a
back seat. Half an hour later he came
1ut alone with Il happy smile on his face,
and approaching teamster who was
waiting to drive on to the ferryboat, he
waved his hand and said:

yhey Are Even More Diruinutive ThAn
Those Described by Stanley.
At a meeting of the Paris Geograph-
ieal society letter was read from M.
Paul CraInpel. the explorer of the
Ogowe basin, giving an account OF the
Baya,-as. a diminutive people who IN
habit tie great forests extending to the
mort. uf the Ogowe and are probably
neafly related to the Wambuttis de-
scribci by Stanley.
The Bayagas live scattered among
slle M'fangs, to whom their relation Is
one of se:ui-servitude. When a Mtang
rhicf becomes powerful enough he sur
rounds himself with band of these
"Bohemians" of the forest. They be-
come his hunters and ivory seekers In
return he supplies them with manloc
and bananas Changing their places
of abode every four or five days, the
Bayagas are not ole to cultivate the
soil.
They are great hunters The ele-
phant is their principal game, Their sole
weapon of attack being a very sharp
two edged spear about 5 1-2 feet III
length. Physically there is a greal
contrast between the Bayagas and th1
Mfangs. The former are dwarfs coln-
pared with the latter, whose height IS
often from feet 8 inches TO feet |
inches or more. The average height CT
the Bayagas is 4 feet inches. They
are stout, well proportioned and mus
cular The color of their skin is a yel-
lowish brown.
What strikes the observer most at
first sight are the prominence of the
arches, the great thickness
of eyebrows, which are continuous, and
the projection of the cheek bones The
neck is very short, the head set into
the shoulders, chest broad and well de-
the arm strong and wrist
stout. the legs crooked. The dominat-
ing characteristic of their physiognomy
is an expression Of fear.
The traveller had not much oppor-
tunity of studying the women. He
noticed, however, the mutilation of
their ears, tho lobe of which is pierced
by pieces G., rood or ivory, and in this
way is = Ialy enlarged until it
,ouches the shoulder. The Bayagas,
although pulySamists, do not initiate
heir neighbors or masters, among
whom a large number of wives is con-
idered to be the greatest evidence of
Yealth.
Among the Bayagas there is pau
,ity of married women, owing largely

IRE family is 'patriarchal" The chief /

IT is our honest opinion that the
first thing the Legislature should do
after converting is to make arrange
ments for canvassing the returns of
the vote on the Constitutional Con-
vention question, and if it is found
that majority of the people have
cast votes for Convention, then to
make arrangements for holding said
Convention at the earliest possible
date. 1t is all well enough to argue
that the changes needed in our State
can be made by amendments as well
as any other way, but the question
is will it be done. The Legislature
of 1891 may be composed of the
brightest men in the State and all
that, but experience has shown that
the amendment plan is long and
tedious route to securing any nee
essary changes.

THIS office has received very
neatly gotten up pamphlet descrlp-
tive of the town of Ashville, Ala,
a new town in the new South. 1t
is only one of the many pamphlets
received setting forth the advan-
tages and resources of all new
countries. Spectators go to these
places and invest money, but few
of them ever come to Nevada. Why?
Because the people of Nevada until
lately have been SO Indifferent as to
whether she lived or not. We hope
those who are pushing the irrigation
question, will stay with it; then,
eventually, pamphlets will be issued
from all the job Offices in the State
setting forth the advantages OF New
ada; telling what wonderfully large
and fine crops of produce can be
raised; what fine beef, horses, fruit,
etc., can be produced. How long,
oh Lord, how long?

to $40 an acre, net, at the lowest
calculation. It costs considerable
money to erect a sugar-beet refinery
from 100000 to $5O0,O0O-and
here is the rub. We believe that it
would be good plan for the State
Board of Trade to open subscrip-
ton list and try to raise enough
money-say 500, O0O-to show the
parties who are interested in estab-
fishing factories on this coast that
Nevada is willing to stand in on the
proposition of having factory
here. When it it is thoroughly
understood what a money-making
scheme it would be we believe that
there will be plenty Of men who
will subscribe from 800 to $1,000
to make up 100000 or more. If
this course is pursued the factory
would no doubt be built in Reno.
While we believe that Lyon county
would be the best place to establish
the first factory, we would not OBJ
ject to any locality. There is room
for dozen factories in the State,
and when one is once established it
would not be long before nearly
every county in the State would
have one.
