THE NEW ARMY UNIFORM.

The new uniform for United
States troops recommended by the
Army Board, which sat recently at
New York, has been sanctioned in
a general order of the War De
partmenr, issued under date of
July 81, 1872. Descriptions and
diagrams for distribution are in
course of preparation, and the en-
tire army, it is believed, will be
clothed in the new dress before
January l, 1878. Some of the re-
Gently adopted changes are as fol
lows: The double. breasted frock
coat is now to be worn by officers
of all grades, but the skirts are to
be shorter than the present style,
and the cuffs are to ke ornamented
with gold stripes on the upper
side. The undress sack coat in
troduced during the rebellion is
recognized, with some simple or
namentation. The unsightly frock
coat of the enlisted men is no
longer to be worn, and a neatly
fitting basque, handsomely orna-
mented on the breast and skirts
with the colors of the different
arms of the service, is to be sub
stituted. The brass shoulder scale
is displaced by n cloth shoulder
strap, which is used for keeping
cross belts in place. For fatigue
dress 4 navy-blue blouse, plated
on the breasts and gathered in by
waist belt, is provided The
trousers of generals and of staff
officers are to be dark blne, and
regimental officers are to wear
light-blue trousers with wide welt
ed stripes the color of their re-
spectivc arms of service. The
aAtiduated s'stock is no longer to
be worn, and the felt hat is to be
retained as an optional fatigue
head dress for officers. General
and staff officers are to wear the
French chapeau with an ostrich
plume on dress occasions; mount
ed troops are to wear black felt
helmet, with gold trimmings and
hair plumes, and marching troops
are to wear dress cap, with an
upright plume Of cocks feathers
red for artillery and white for
4 infantry. Foot soldiers are to
wear pompons instead of plumes.
Mounted soldiers may wear troop
ers' high top boots, and sashes
and epaulettes can only be worn
by general officers. In actual ser
vice soldiers overeoats with ap.
propriate emblems of grade may
be worn by officers, and ornaments
likely to draw the fire of sharp
shooters may be left off in the field
: General officers retain the t'cloal

minor changes are the introduc

TIE ARIZONA DIAMoNDs-ALL vANI-
TY AND VEXATIoN OF SPIRIT

We yesterday had a conversation
with ]. Moore Williams, the origin
al diamond huntcr, and are well
satisfied from his statements that
there arc no diamonds in that re-
gion worth hunting. lie says there
is once i'll 4 while diamhnd found
in Arizona and New Mexico and
that three very fine but small ones
have been found near Central City,
Colorado. Mr.. Williams has been
in the Brazilian diamond mines,
and is familiar with the kind of
gravel in which diamonds are found.
lie says the ''wash" in places III
Arizona very much resembles that
i'll Brazil, there being about the
same quantity of small ironstones
in the wash in both countries. One
year ago last November, while
camped on small stream that
empties into the ella river, Mr..
Williams says he found a range of
country which very much resembled
what he has seen in Brazil. Taking
some of the dirt he took it to camp
and panned it out, when he found
three stones that so much resem-
bled diamonds that he was satisfied
that his fortune was made. Know
ing of no other test than that of
trying stone supposed 20 be a dia-
mond upon piece of glass, Mr..
Williams travelled twenty miles 20
get piece of glass. The stones
cut glass as well as diamonds would
have done. This satisfied Williams
and he then went after the stones.
The first diamond shipment was
made by Williams through the
United States mail to San francisco.
In all, he sent fifty-two stones,
twenty in one letter and thirty-two
i'll q second. He sent the supposed
diamonds to his brother i'll San
Francisco, in December. and in Feb
ruary got word from him that they
had been fully tested by a French
lapid2ry, who pronounced them not
diamonds, and stones of little value.
Williams says he is satisfied that
any one who goes TO Arizona in
search of diamonds will come back
much poopcr than he was when he
started out on his expedition.
Williams says those who wish to
find these pretended diamonds can
dig an abundance of them anywhere
from the summit OF the Rocky
Mountains, and from thence TO the
crossing of the Rio Miembug, and
as far down as the Gila, wherever
there is a deposit of gravel.-IT Ter

ANECDOTES OF PUBLIC MEN.
BY COL. J. W. FoRNEY.

No problem of modern citiliZa-
ton is SO yexed as that Of munic-
ipal government, or the difficulty
of securing good rulers for great
cities, OF regulating taxation, and
preserving thc public credit. Paris
became the dazzling metropolis OF
the Continent under the irrespon-
sible rule of Louis Napoleon,
whose chief agent, Baron Hauss-
man, executed his masters com
mands without much regard for
private rights, and certainly pro-
duced matchless results. The
money spent and squandered up
on the French capital under
Haussman reached fabulous
sum, but the comforts and luxur-
les secured TO strangers wore
equally unusual. London is con
trolled by number of corporate
bodies, and many complaints arc
heard against their profIigacy.
Berlin and Vienna arc magically
improved in every direction.
Brussels is a miniature Paris, and
the Dutch cities, The Hague, Am
sterdam and Rotterdam, are IA
nous for their institutions of art
and learning and the comparative
comfort of their over-taxed popu-
lation. But these, like Edinburgh
and Dublin, are governed rather
by the monarch than by the peo-
pie. It is when we come TO apply
popular rule to municipalities that
the worst difficulties are encoun-
tered. The rapid growth of our
American cities, the necessity for
heavy expenditures in paved
streets, public buildings, water,
light, and the preservation of pro-
perty, open the door to endless
speculation. Boston is unques-
tionably the best managed city in
America, mainly because there is
very little politics in its admins
tration, a severe system of finance,
n police extending over the State,
and rigid attendance at the pri-
mary elections by prominent men.
He who visits Washington to-day,
after an absence of twenty years,
will be amazed at its progress and
at its promises. We may prcfigure
its future by its contrast with the
past. AS We remember its dusty
streets in summer and its muddy
streets in winter, its poor hotels
and boarding houses, its miserable
police, its disorganized finances,
in the light of its increasing miles
of broad and beautiful drives, it's
new temples of education and
learning, its gallery of art, it's
splendid public edifices, with the
superb Capitol browning the
whole, unsurpassed in the world,
we may easily anticipate the day
| when Washington Will be the fa-
voritc and the loveliest city on our
side of the sea. President Grant
struck the key note when he ap-
ipointed Henry d. Cooke Governor
of the District of Columbia under
the Congressional act of reorgani-
zation, which made the popular
branch of the. local Legislature
ELECTIVE, and gave tho people a
delegate in Congress, Mr. Cooke
lis one OF the many proofs of the
Wisdom OF our CHIEF Magistrate.

Inc accepted the post mad acculriti

"IF WE HAD NO SABBATH. !"

In a prize essay on the Sabbath,
written by q journeyman printer
in Scotland, which, for singular
power of language and beauty of
expression, has never been sur
passed, there occurs the following
passage. Read it, and then reflect
for a while what a dreary and
desolate page would this life pres
cnt if the Sabbath were blottcd
out from our calculation:
"Yokefellow! think how the alb
straction of the Sabbath would
hopelessly enslaye the working
classes with whom We are identi-
fed. Think of labor thus going
on in one monotonous and eternal
cycle, limbs forever on the rack,
the fingers forever straining, the
brow forever sweating, the feet for
ever plodding, the brain forever
throbbing, the shoulders forever
dropping, the loins forever aching,
and the restless mind forever
scheming.
'.Think of the beauty it would
face, the merry heartedness it
would extinguish, of the giant
strength it would tame, of the re-
sources of nature it would crush,
of the sickness it would breed, OF
the projects it would wreck, of the
groans it would extort, of the lives
it would immediate, and of the
cheerless graves that it would pre-
maturely dig! See them toiling
and moiling and fretting, grinding
and hewing, weaving and spinning,
strewing and gathering, moving
and reaping, raising and building,
digging and painting, striving and
struggling-in the garden and in
the field, in the granary and ii
the barn, in the factory and III the
mill, in the warehouse and in the
shop, ON the mountain and in the
ditch, on the roadside and in the
wood, in the city and in the coun
try, on the sea and on the shore
and the earth in the days of bright
ness and gloom. What a picture
would the world present if we haC

it is certain that wherever they are,
Mr.. Janin, the engineer of the COM
pany, is st them, guarding them
with an armed force. All Mr.. JAN
ms familiar friends have invested
large amounts of money in the en-
terprisc, and Mr.. Henry Janin him
self has Invested his all. In regard
TO the assertion that 4 large produc-
ton of diamonds at this mne would
bear the market, Mr.. Roberts says
that the United States annually i'm
ports and pays duty on S30,0O0,oO0
worth of gems, and smuggles an
enormous amount; he claimed that
should S3,0O0,00O worth be produc-
ed there each month, that amount
would not act SO as to bear the
market. The amount already
taken out has been gathered by the.
prospecting pan alone, no attempt
having been made to work III any
other way. Large numbers of men
are now employed by the company
in washing the gravel with rockers,
and the whole ground will be gone
over in the most systematic way to
test the value and extent of the de-
post. Two streams run from the
mountains through the lands, and
so there is no fear of lack of water
for washing. Mr.. .Janin estimates
the gravel to be worth $1,000 per
ton, putting the gems down at one
fourth their present market value.
1t is known that the mines are on
an elevated plateau, but this is ali
that is known of their locality, aud
the proprietors say, "If people

LONGEVITY OF FARMERs.-In a
late address before the Farmers
Club of Princeton, Mass, DIR. Ma
than Allen said that, according to
the registration reports of deaths in
Massachusetts,, published now for
about thirty years, and preserved
with more accuracy and complete
ness than anywhere else in the
country, the greatest longevity Is
found to obtain in agricultural life.
In the ten different occupations as
given in these reports, the cultiva-
tors of the earth stand, as class, at
the head, reaching on an average
the ago OF nearly sixty-fiye years,
while that of the next class, mer-
chants, is only about fOrty-nine
years; and that of mechanics of all
kinds, about forty-eight years and
that of shocmakers about forty-fouI
wears. Thus there is an advantage
OF above fifteen years on the side ol
| the farmers IS compared with mer-
chants, as they reach an average OF
but little short of three-score years
and ten, allotted by the Psaimist %
! hnnan life.

SURPRISING PAPERS on Rail
RoADs.-A righteously indignant
traveller writes To the New York
Times that on several of the east
ern railroads the newsboys are not
permitted TO carry Republican
newspapers, always replying when
asked for a Harper's Weekly or Il
New York Times, "Nonc left; have
Tribuae, Herald and World" The
writer concludes:
So that We have either to go
without. or at large places, as at
Pittsburg, go to a news stand, of
course, exceedingly annoying to
travellers and an imposition that
some measures should be taken To
suppress. Many, who remarked
they should avoid the road in fu-
ture, were informed that the news
men having the sale of papers on
the trains had sold out TO the
Greeley interests by having 10th
ing but Greeley papers to sell,
and saying they had "no demand
for the New York Times or Har-
pers"-the reason for not having
them. On one occasion, to prove
the falsity of the boys assertion
that there was '.no demand" a
vote for the papers wanted was
taken, with the following result,
between Pittsburg and Altoona:
New York Times, 9S; New York
Tribune, is; Harper's Weekly, 80.
Is there not remedy for such an
imposition? and are not the news
men on the various roads allowed
in greater part for the accommo-
dation OF the travelling public? i,
for one, viii not patronize n rail
road that countenanccs such base
bargain and sale, and know of
many more of the same opinion
and feelings.
