The Republican Executive committee for Mecklenburg county is called to meet today to consult upon the question of sending delegates to State convention in Raleigh on the 22nd of September. There arc several things fora county convention to do and the committee cannot well do otherwise than call a county convention to reorganize the party &c. It is not for th< committee so sny what the policy of the party in the county shall be. Their time has expired and they should per form their last act by assembling the representatives of the party so that their successors may be selected. The com mittee is elected for two years. He took Water. Once upon a time there was a ceitain man whoso name had gone abroad as a mighty worker in Sabbath Schools. And it caine to pass when a certain 6k S. made a great effort to raise money for a certain school, and as was expected this man was found in his usual corner near the altar. Ami behold when the call was made for money there was a general res ponse. but this man whose name had gone abroad, proposed to give a certain amount if any other man would give the same amount. But 10, when two c* w bills of a certain denomination were hdd between the Ungers of the leader, that man whose name had gone abroad, arose, and amid hisses of derision, took water— yea. he went in his hole and pulled the hole in after him. Anil those who looked upon those new bills and those fingers, said unto that man in one voice ‘o Heine, meme, tektl itfanm. The Prohibitionists. A mass meeting of the prohibitionists was held in the court house last [Saturday. j Nothing of importance transpired except j two or three parties made speeches and! publicly delcarcd their independence ; from old party alliance, and a detenu i nation to support for public office only men who are op[>oscd to whiskey traffic. They are not particular to have those' men selected from the Democratic or Re publican party they only want seb.-r in- ; telligent and honorable men. The ton-! veution adjourned subject to the ea!E of ; the chairman. The more independence j among the people the better for ns all; then men will be elected upon nwrit and not upon party strength and fraud. Let us all b:* independent and vote only for j good men, whether they belong to our , party, creed or race. Independence is i the hist password. Salisbury and Coßrsrl. On Saturday morning last we went! over to Salisbury. The town presented . its usual Saturday appearance. We found several of the Professors at the college, j but few of the students; those here are kept busy at work all the* while. The Dodge hall is nearly completed only the picturing to be done, doors, windows! Ac., to put in.

A new employment for women is the inlay of furniture with ivory and other ; forms of marquetry. Woman's delicacy >f touch is said to be particularly desira ble in this bashes!. The sarcasm of destiny has been illus trated in the West. A Dakota man by the name of Rose gave his daughter the lame of Wild, that she might be called die Wild Rose of the prairie; but she run away with a man by the name of Bull die other day. and the name is a terror to the inhabitants. The female lace-makers of Sixony are wretchedly underpaid, the best of them tot being able to make more than about rixty cents axreek. And yet a great many raey-going prosperous people in Saxony ire surprised at the audacity of these uoor artisans in presuming to complain, ind call them Anarchist-. The long traveling cloak in use on the ither side this summer is the nun's pe isse of serge, pongee, or poplin, gathered about the neck, with or without a hood, inti with sleeves that are either very long ind quite wide or only half long. This oelisse may be lined with self-colored w bright silks, striped or plain, or made with felled seams and unlined.

Some women | would have died outright. The light-weight woolen goods that ire quite soft to th- touch and drape so harmingly are becoming general favor ites for summer weir. They are exceed ingly serviceable, and in the excellent colorings in which they are manufactured they are adapted for ‘ill sort* of wind and weather.’’ The tyranny of stiffly starched cambric and pique is happily I over, and the change from the heavily weighted cotton fabrics to the delicate woolens is delightful to the beholder as well as to the wearer. Mast people have heard a great deal about marriage customs in France, but probably not many foreigners are aware that a French officer is not allowed to marry unless the lady of his choice pos sesses sutEc.ent capital to guarantee an annual income of 1,3 M francs ($340) a 1 year. This m the minimum value that the Ministry of War sets upon an officer l in the matrimonial market. Another condition is that the lady shall be of un blemished character. There is a prop osition under consideration to inciease th- minimum income on which an officer is allowed to many. The furore for stripes aeems to increase rather thin diminish, and some of the latest novelties m this style present as many varied hues as Iris herself. Most of the goods look lather pronounced and darby by themselves; but combined with self-colored frubric-- produce an effect which is neither vulgar nor conspicuou-. Skirts and waistcoats made of fancy striped goods are worn under tunica and open jackets of monochrome fabrics, and ts well blended, agreeably relieve the monotony, which adieu of one color often produces. Nevertheless, the taste of n large class of ladies lies in the direc tion of the latter style; The character of the summer silk of to-day h»« quite changed from that of a few yVjrsago. Then the single materials were still in us*. lirosseswere not over laid. or made doable, as now; nor so generally combined to form the trimming. The summer silk in small cheek er kair etripe was standard fabric; very light in weight, very much ruffled (as was the fashion in those days* and the niiffes often bound with a color to give bright ness and character.

Several years ago I had the pleasure of joining a party about to start out along j :he banks of Bitter creek on a hunting I ‘xpsditioo. The leader of the party was I I young man -who had recently escaped r rom college with a large amount of knowledge which ho desired to experi j ne-nt with on the people of the far West. He had heard that there was .in ] (chthyosauru; up somewhere along the i west side of Bitter creek, and h; wanted is to go along *md help him to find it. I had been in the West some eight or cine years then, and I had never seen an chthyosaurus myself, but I thought the foung man must know his business, so I zot out my Winchester and went along with the group. We tramped over the pale, ashy, glar , ag, staring stretch of desolation, ihrough burning, quivering days of mo notony and sage-brush and a kali water ind aching eyes aud parched and bleed- Dg lips and nostrils cut ihrough an 1 ;aten by the sharp alkaline air, mentally lepressed and physically worn out, but dieered on aud braced up by the light ind joyons manner of the cver-hopeful lames Trilobite Eton of Concord. James Trilobite Eton of Concord never moaned, never gigged back or shed a not, remorseful tear in this powdery, Hungry waste of gray, parched ruin. No regret came forth from his lips in the midst of this mighty cemetery, this ghastly potter’s field for all that nature lad ever reared that was too poor to oear its own funeral expenses, i Now and then a lean, soiled gray coy 3te, without sufficient moral courage to ook a dead mule in the hind foot, slipped I'TOiS the horizon like a dirty phantom ind faded into the hot and tremulous itmospherc. We scorned such game as hat and trudged on, cheered by the hope hat seemed to spring eternal in the mast of James Trilobite Eton of Con rord. Four days we wallowed through the inchanging desolation. Four nights wo went through the motions of slumbering >n the arid bosom of the wasted earth. An the fifth day James Trilobite Eton taid we were now getting near the point where we would find what we sought. Jn we pressed through the keen, rough blades of the seldom bunch-grass, over he shifting, yellow sand and the green rh gray of the bad-land soil which never loes anything but sit around through he accumulating centuries and hold the world together, a kind of powdery poison thut delights to creep into the lostrils of the pilgrim and steal away ii§ brains, or when moistened by a little now to accumulate around the feet of he pilgrim or on the feet of the pil grim’s mule till he has the most of an in surveyed “forty” on each foot, and he casual observer is cheered by the iovel sight of one homestead trying to ump another. Toward evening James Trilobite Eton rave a wild shriek of joy and ran to us rom the bed of an old creek, where he lad found an ichthyosaurus. The ani iial was dead! Not only that, but it lad been dead a long, long time! James Milton Sherrod said that 4 if a college education was of no more use to i man than that he, for one, allowed hat his boy would have to grope thro ugh if - with an academical education, and rery little of it.” 1 uncocked my gun and went back to ;jnp a sadder and madder man, and, h *ugh years have come and gone, I am i ill irritable when I think of the five lays we tramped along Bitter creek searching for an animal that was no onger alive,aud our guide knew it before tie started. I ventured to say to J. Trilobite Eton hat night as we all sat together in the foaming discussing whether he should >e taken home with us in the capacity of i guide or as a remains, that it seemed :o me a man ought to have better sense han to wear his young life away trying x> have fun with his superiors in that way. “Why, blame it all,” says James, *what did you expect ? You ought to mow yourself that that animal is ex tinct!’ “Extintk!” says James Milton Sher *od, in shrill tones. “I should say he was extinck. That’s what we re kickin' ibout. What galled me was that you ihould of waited till the old cuss was ex anck before you oome to us like a man ind told us about it. You pull us •hrough the sand for a week and blister jur heels and near kill us, and all the ;imc you know that the blame brute is .ayin there in the hot sun gittin’ more •stinck every minute. Fun is fun, and l like a little nonsense now and then just as well as you d >, but I’ll be eter aaliy banished to Bitter creek if I think it's square or right or white to play it &n your friends this kind of away. Aon Haim that the animal has been dead goin’ on five thousaud years, or some -uch thing as that, and try to get out of t that way, but long as you knew it and we didn't, it shows that you’re a low russ not to speak of it. What difference i-jes it make to us, I say, whether this i’rute was or was not dead aud swelled ip like a pi/en’d steer long before Noro got his zoologickle show together? We didn’t know it. Wc haven’t seen the Balt Lake papers for weeks. You use your edjecation to fcol people with. My •pinion is that the day is not far distant when you will wake up and find your self in the bottom of an untimely grave, j You biing its a hundred and fifty miles to look at an old bone pile all trampled into the ground, and then say that the animal is extinck. That's a great way to talk to an old man like me, a man old enough to br* yo lr grandfather. Prob’ly yovcacklate that .t ’ a xare treat for m old timer like me to waller through from Green River to the Yalh r-tone and then hear a young kangaroo, with a moth eaten eyebrow under his nose, burst forth into a rollicking laugh and say that the animal we've been trailin’ for five days is extinck I iust want to to you, JsmC' Trilobite Eton, and I say it for your good, and I say it with no prejudice agaimd you, for I want to sec you suc cc*ed, that if this ever happens agin and you arc the party to blame you w ill wake up with a wild start on the (offerin' day a d find yourself a good deal extincker than this here old busted lizard if.”— i Bui A>e, in Chicago Netet. Besting After Meals. A friend of the writer, who has sui ered from dyspepsia during almost her entire life, considers the suggestions in the following extracts from an article in a recent issue of the Journal of Health to be the most in accord with her own ex perience of anythingon the subject lately published: llurfied eating of meals, followed im mediately by some employment that oc cupies the whole attention and takes up all, or nearly all,of the physical energies, is sure to result in dyspepsia in one form or another. Sometimes it shows itself in excessive irritability, a sure indication that nerve force has been exhausted; the double draught in order to digest the food and carry on the business has been tinore than nature could stand without being thrown out of balance. In an other case the person is exceedingly dull as soon as he has a few minutes of leis ure. The mind seems a dead blank, and only moves in its accustomed, channels, and then only when compelled. This, ialso, is an indication of nervous exhaus tion. Others will have decided pains in the stomach, or a sense of weight, as if a heavy burden was inside. Others, again, will be able to eat nothing that will agree with them; everything that is put inside the stomach is made the subject of a violent protest on the part of that organ, and the person suffers untold agonies in con-cqucnce. Others suffer from constant hunger. Thev may eat all they can and be hungry still* If they feel satisfied for a little time the least exertion brings on the hungry feel ing and they can do no more until some thing is eaten. It is almost needless to say that this condition is not hunger, but inflammation of the stomach. Scarcely any two persons are affected exactly in the same way, the disordered condition manifesting itself according to tempera ment and occupation, employments that call for mental work and those whoso scene ot action lies indoors affecting per sons more seriously than those carried on in the open air and those which are merely mechanical and do not engage the mind. All, or nearly all, of the*c difficulties of digestion might have never been known by the sufferers had they left their business behind them and rested a short time after eating, instead of rush ing off to work immediately after hastily swallowing their food. Nature does not do two things at a Jirnc, and do both well, as a rule. .All know that when a force is divided it is weakened. If the meals were eaten slow ly. without pre-occupation of the mind, and the stomach allowed at least half an hour's chance to get its work well under taken before the nervous force is turned in another direction, patients suffering from dyspepsia would be few. A physician once said: “It does not so much matter when we eat as how we cat it.” While this is only partly true, it certainly is true that the most health ful food hurriedly eaten, and immedi ately followed by work which engages the entire available physical and mental forces, is much worse than a meal of poor food eaten leisurely and followed by an interval of rest. How the Premier Saved his Dog. The Vienna Fremdenhkitt gives an an ecdote of the Greek ex-Premier Heliyan nis, which places him in a more amiable light than has been shed upon him by his public performances. llcisag:eit lover of dogs, and he had one which was as dear to him us the famous Rcichsond to the C’hancelor of the German Empire. When he was cros ing from the Pir.rus to Constantinople on board of an English steamer, the dog fell into the water. Deliyanuis entreated the captain to stop the vessel in order that he might rescue his dog. “Impossible.” replied ou: countryman; “my orders are strict. 1 dare not stop even if it wire a man in stead of a dog overboard.” “Good!” laconically answered the Greek, and nt the same moment he sprang over the ship’s side, and swam for his dog. The tequel may be quessed. The English sailor could not resist such a spectacle ol bravery, and in spite of his strict orders he stopped his ship, and saved both the man and the dog.- -Pall Mall Gazette. Dr. .1. T.
