Tho Soldier of Civiliz ton

In a late number If the New York Times we
find most graphic sketch of the life and career
of the Earl of Cardigan, who led the British cav
airy in the mad yet brilliant, charge Mt Baa-
klava. To show what material England in
her war for civilization" shal take the liber-
" of making two extracts from this sketch, pre-
missing that ii- author is of the leigc subjects
Of Queen Victoria. The first extract thus eX-
hibits the noble Earl in his social relations:
I'm all his gallantric- Lord Cardigan has never
even affected II scintilla of that sentiment which
by relieving vice of all it, grossness is said TO re
hrye it of half It's evil. Some three years since
we remember he carried away from Doubin
where his regiment WAS then quartcrcd, n lady of
singular beauty the wife of the chamberlain of
Doublin Castle, Sir William Lesson whose out
ragged feelings were subsequently soothrl bv n
compensation of a very large amount. Taking
her to Scotland few months afterwards in his
yncht, whether from rcmprsc, or parting from
her CHI drcn, some other cause, Lady I.ccson
was siezcd suddenly by Illness and died under
very narrowing circumstances. Within week
after ~ snw the spocr in his accustomed spot
in the opcra-bpX with his iewcIled lorgnett pllnt
cd ON SOME new beauty with II steady. sensual
stare. Thoroughly heartles- and selfish, he steps
From ruin to ruin with ut n pang, and when his
pas ion pals. casts aside his victim with the
-amc graceful lcvity lac does his lancc."
\. n mere man, with strong animal instincts
his Ioriship is thus sk"tched
"In appearance Lord Cardigan is the beau
ideal of II light dragoon. Arrogant, gay, and
dauntless in heuriug, hc stands about five feet
eleven, aud his frame, though Slight is well pro.
porloned and firmly knit. Ills light brown hair
hr wears in short cnrles, and carries w"ghty
mpustachc of the same hue. His expression is
sensual and selfish. His wealth insurcs him com
pauions, but he has nn friend. OF dress, and
DASH and glitter he is passionately fond, and
when mounted in the gorgeous uniform of his
regiment, and leading charge on his beautiful
dark chestnut Arab, he well looks the character
10 which he is snid to aspirc-the Murat of Brit
ISL cavalry lligh-bred and impcrious, he little
differs from the noble animal he rides. Like it,
lac obeys every mute instinct and passion like
il, he rcioces in the battle and rushcs forward
with glorious animal courage against the foe
but he Is nothing more"
