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.

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.— N Tew York Sun. 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- tetto. Fall Clothing Samples.
