If your horse should pull on one
line or throw his head up and down
and fight and pull on the bit haye
his mouth and teeth examined.
The hand pieces of driving reins fire.
quently become smooth from use,
causing the hands to shift. In such
cases rub the lines with powdered
rosin.
When horses ovef.reach lengthen
the hind shoes when they hit the
front of the hind feet have the toe of
the front shoes made narrow and con-
caved on the inside.
Some horses when trottinQ in put

AN INDICTED BANK TELLER.
Comptroller Knox's Letter TO the sccre
tary OF the Treasury.

Comptroller Knox's Letter to the sccre-
tary OF the Treasury.
The teller of the Wall Street National bank,
of New York, having been indicted for over
certifying checks, the comptroller of the cur
rency was asked yesterday if he had re-
auested the attorney general to procure the
Indictment. IIe said no, but added
he had supposed that all the officers
of tho bank would havo been indicted,
but concluded that the rest escaped
through some technicality. He had deferred
action under tho law for some time, hoping
that stock clearing house would be estab-
lished, and thereby relieve the banks from
the necessity of certifying checks for such
large amounts. When he found this would
not be done he thought IL was his duty to re-
mort tho volators of the law for action.
As the Wall Street National bank was
the first TO suffer loss from such certifloation
since the act Of June IL, 1882, Its intraction
was reported and it soon went into liquida-
ton, organizing thereafter under the free
banking acts. The comptroller added that
he had sent the secretary of the treasury
letter on Sept. 90 in relation to this matter.
That letter was as follows:
gR; / have the honor of incoslng herewith q

NEW UNIFORMS FOR THE NAVY,
Changes Which VIII Go Into Effect OH
New Years Day.

Changes Which Will Go Into Effect Oh
New Years Day.
The new regulations governing the uni
forms of officers of the United States navy
have been approved by Secretary Chandler
and will go into effect on the first day of
January, 1854, and by July l. 1884, officers
must have completed all the changes made.
The regulations do not differ materially
from those partially issued last summer. The
most important modification of those regula-
tions is the retention of the shoulder straps
These devices are considered the most typi-
cally American portion of tho uniform, and
the proposed abollshment met with general
disapprobation among the officers. Four uni
forms arc prescribed by tho new circular,
special full dress, full dress, dress and
service dress. The first, known as the full
dress, romains the samo as that now worn.
The full dress coat, heretofore known
as tho social coat, remains the same; ex-
cept that all commissioned officers and naval
cadets are required to have 1t. Tho frock
coat is the same except that it is to button
to the throat. The service coat or blouse is
to be made of blue cloth or white linen duck.
The full dress waistcoat is of blue cloth in
stead of white marsoilles The overcoat is q
smooth faced blue cloth ulster with belt and
hood. The only devices are those .designat-
ing rank by black stripes on the sleeves!
Tho corps color Of the medical corps is
changed from blue cloth to dark maroou
velvet The epaulettes and shoulder knots
remain the same, except that all commits
stoned officers will hereafter wear them. No
change is made in the shoulder straps.
The chapeau is to be little smaller than
the one now worn, andwill be rigid. = Tho
cap is very similar to the present
one. A braid band Is substituted for
the ribbed silk and tho whole body is
higher, with the top little smaller than tho
base. The wiser slopes from 20 to 800 from
the horizontal. The gold cord is replaced by
| a leather chin strap, covered with gold lace.
The cap ornaments remain tho same Tho
helmet replaces straw hats and whito caps.
II is to bo of cork or other suitable mate
rial, covered with light drab linen duck
The length of the sword may be 32 inches.
The mittens are both large and small. The
field dress sword belt is the same for flag
officers. For captains and commanders it has
seven stripes of gold; lieutenant COM
manders and leutenants. five straps; lieu
tenants junior grades and both grades of ems
sign, three strips. The leather belt remains
the same. Commanding officers are directed
to enforce the regulations.
