The ARMY BILL.-The new Army Bill
creates an army of sixty regiments ten of
cavalry, five of artillery, and forty-fve of
infantry, This is an actual increase in the
regular army Of four regiments of cavalry
and thirteen of infantry. Two of the new
cavalry regiments and four of the infantry
regiments, called the Veteran Reserve Corps,
are to be of men who were wounded in the
late war, but are still fit for garrison or light
duty. In both infantry and cavalry all the
original vacancies in the grades of first and
second lieutenants are to be filled from volun-
teer officers and soldiers. With respect to the
higher grades, it is provided that in the cav
airy two thirds, and in the infantry one-half
of the officers shall be from the volunteers,
and the remainder from the regulars, all OF
whom shall have served at least two years
during the late war. The officers OF the
Veteran Reserve Corps are to be either regu
lars or volunteers wounded in the line of duty
during the war, and selected by the President.
The negro troops are to be in every respect
on an equality of footing with white troops.
Enlistments in the cavalry are to be for five
years; in the artillery and infantry for three
| years.

WOMEN AHEAD OF MEN IN One THING
A man of a satircal turn of mind, who evl-
IDENTIFY has but little to do, publishes IN one
of our exchanges some curious statistics OF
the.average talk of men and women. He has
discovered that an ordinary middle-aged man
spends three hours per day in conversation,
calculating at the rate of one hundred words
per minute, or twenty nine oetavo pages per
hour, which would amount to six hundred
pages per week, or fftytwo big volumes per
year. Having ascertained these facts as re-
CARDS the masculine portion of the human
race, the statistician applied his best energies
to ascertain the amount of words uttered by
an ordinary and middle aged female per min
ute, and the amount of time spent on an av-
erage by that sex in general conversation
After the most patient investigation and alb
struse calculation, this able arithmetician
was compelled to give up the question and
confess the magnitude OF the figures produced
even at the outset of the inquiry baffied all
human calculation

But happy they the happiest of their kind

Their hearts, their fortunes and their beings blend
IT'S not the coarser tie of human laws,
Unnatural oft, and foreign to the mind,
That binds their peace but harmony itself,
Attuning all their passions into love;
Where friendship full exerts her softest power.
Perfect esteem enlivened by desire

With boundless confidence: for mons gi't but love
Can answer love, and render bliss secure.

FROM PIrTsBURG.-We are informed that
the Williams & Kellinger Company have de-
cided to abandon all work on their upper
tunnel, and have also stopped running the
lower tunnel in the direction in which it has
been run for 1925 feet. A vein of ore was
tapped and passed. in the lower tunnel In
June last, at distance of about $50 feet from
its mouth, but no particular attention was
paid to it at the time, as the superintendent
and workmen supposed that the main ledge,
which crops out on the surface, would be
struck by running straight ahead few feet
further. Since then the tunnel has been
continued IS feet further into the hill, but
without discovering any indication of ledge.
The company have now decided to return to
that vein of ore, and will put men to work
running from both sides of the main tunnel,
believing that it is a " feeder" connecting
with the main ledge.
