THE REPUBLICANS.
They Hold Another of Their Numerous
Conventions Yesterday:
The Republican party of this
county met in a mass meeting hese
yesterday to consider the situation.
Among the representatives of the
masses was a large number of color¬
ed people. They concluded to keep
Luke Evans up for the legislature
a while longer, but thought it better
to consult with the other counties be
fore putting out a candidate for sen*«
ate. A resolution was passed declar
ing that they would not support an
independent Democrat and would
nominate nobody but one of their
own color lor " o senate, and an ad
journndcr.t wa- iad until the 8th of
Septetnbi . w~. u Fayette and Butts

Convenience of tue letepuoi**.
One has to go to other cities in order to
thoroughly appreciate the revolution
brought about Lv the use of the tele¬
phone. In cii like Cleveland, Detroit
and Rochester :.'i the well to do people
have telephones m their dwellings, and
the useful instruments are made to serve
instead of letters, visits, and the employ¬
ment of messengers. The ladies use
them quite as much in the routine of
household life as our down town men do
in business.
After breakfast in the morning a pro¬
vincial lady who has a telephone is apt to
closet herself with it for a half an hour
or more, during which time she finds
out what tbo grocer has that is good to
offer, sends her orders, connects with
the butcher, and tells him what she
wants; rings up her dressmaker and has
a delightful chat over trimmings and
flounces, and then calls upon one after
another in her circle of lady friends, and
gossips with each and all precisely as she
would if she were making a social round
in her carriage later in the day. The
average New Yorker has scarcely any
conception of the usefulness of a tele-
P ihone 1 as it is employed in other cities.—

Racial Element* of Russia’* Army.
Probably the Russian army is the most
heterogeneous in the world so far as its
ethnology is concerned. From the infor¬
mation on the point just issued by the
Russian statistical department we learn
that of the 227,1)06 recruits levied in
1885, the racial composition was as fol¬
lows: Russians, 169,052; Poles, 17,212;
Bulgarians, 466; Tcheka, 12; Lithua¬
nians, 5,800; Letts, 8,424; Greeks, 155;
Moldavians, 2,850; French, 1; Germans,
8,572; Armenians, 142; Bohemians, 80;
Georgians, 8; Jews, 10,011; Karehans,
809; Tchouds, 20; Esthonians, 2,604;
Laps, 1; Moravians, 1,707; Cheremissi-
ans, 701; Votiaks, 841; Zyrians, 282;
Permians, 08; Voguls, 5; Chuvachas,
1,529; Tartars, 4,608; Bashkirs, 8,017;
and about 100 belong to three other races
or tribes. In all, then, the Russian army
comprises 82 different races, or at least
tribal elements, among which it is note¬
worthy neither Ossetians nor Circassians
are represented. So far at least as these
recruits are concerned.—St. James’ Ga-
