Cable Letter to the New York World.
LONDON, March 3I.-The decision 10
change the uniform of the army from the time
honored scarlet to the soberer gray, which is
regarded as more in keeping with the practi-
cal spirit # modern war-making, staggered
the recruiting Sergeants, who feared that in
the absence OF the scarlet their occupation
which had already received severe blow
when "the Queens shilling and such unde-
srable devices for inducing men to pocket It
as getting them drunk were discountenanced,
and entering the army became as matter-e-
fact apiece Of business as joining the police
would be utterly gone and forever.
1t has, however, been decided to keep the
scarlet in the garrison towns in order to lure
the rustics, but to wear the Confederate gray
whenever the soldiers are sent out upon ac-
tive service.
The change-which will begin soon-is
another blow of the reforming pickax IL the
structure of the old British army, and by no
means the least important Of the alterations
begun by Lord Cardwell and pressed on by
Mr.. Childers

poison great industry in the land. After a
few independent journals shall be found to
give it the cue perhaps the pulpit may get to

Igious elements worthy of its attention.
There can be no rational doubt that the
people Of Ohio will triumphanty ratify these
amendments, and although King Rum will
make desperate fight with her multitudinous
armies there is nothing to apprehend. In the
meantime if there is time to do it the Leesla-
ture should add others. covering the official

FRALTY to party should never affect a news
paper to the extent of coloring its opinions or
withholding opinions that but for its political
allegiance it would promulgate. Yet this is
done in Massachusetts. where the press, pro-
badly, is more highly respected and has more
influence than in any other State in the coun-
try. Its conduct regarding the Tewksbury
scandal is sufficient proof. The Boston news
papers beat around the bush. but never strike
it; they deny vehemently things which are not
alleged and assume to be frivolous that which
can not be disproved. Other journals follow
the course of the Boston leaders. The Spring
field Republican alone shows any regard for
its duty, and with evident reluctance it finds
itself constrained to admit that ''the testimony
as to the management OF the State Aims house
is revolving" A fearless paper with good
intent, whether Democratic or Republican, is
badly needed in Massachusetts.

THE Chickasaw Indians set US an example
we DO not hope to ever initiate. One Of their
customs is to release convicts under sentence
of death on parole of honor until the day of
execution, and it is tradition that no one
under the circumstances has failed to appear
for execution at the time and place appointed.
Civilization cannot boast of any common
characteristic to equal this.

MONTEREY and San Antonio are destined
to become resorts the year round for invalds
and tourists. San Antonio has for years been
chosen by many Northerners as winter quar-
tiers but few resort TO it in the warm months.
1t is in these, however, that the city wears its
brightest appearance and the climate is most
agreeable. In the winter, in truth, the tenn
perature is not always so moderate as desira-
BILE, and invalids, especially those with pull
monary ailments, sometimes bitterly complain
that they had been deceived regarding the
climate and that the sudden changes OF the
weather they have experienced have been more
injurious than.would have been the continuous
cold of a northen winter; while in the other
seasons the heat is seldom oppressive and in
the night cool breeze can always be felt
What may be said of San Antonio may be
said of Monterey also, with the addition that
Monterey, being situated between mountains,
is never too hot for comfort. The two
cities should be summer as well as winter re-
sorts.

 address of welcome. The recording secre- | tary Mrs. George P. Durham, of this city, 1 read her annual report, summary of the | condition of the various branch societies and
 their work, which was of very gratifying and encouraging character. She called attention
 to the presence of two of the original officers of the society, Mrs. Whiting, the president,
 and Mrs. S. R. Smith, the treasurer.
 The record of the amount of money receiv-
 ed by the conference from all parts of the State since it's organization ten years ago is: In 1874, $74o.11 1875, $947.81; 1876, $1,- 13O.75 1877, $1,324 22; 1878, $1,27O. 6s; 1879, $1, 1,472.

 lady gave an interesting account of the
 work of the Union Missionary meeting held
 recently in Calcutta, India. Mrs. F. R.

 large. After this meeting the ladies in at.
 tendance sat down to dinner, which was pre-
 pared for them in the vestry of the church.
