A dispatch from Bellows Falls says
the Canadian currency tax matter
seems to be growing more complicated,
owing to the entirely contrary inter
probation put upon the law by govern
ment officials. A letter received few
days ago by prominent bank official
in Vermont signed by the commission
er of internal revenue at Washington,
says bank is not regarded as paying
out Canadian bank notes, within the
meaning of the statute, when 1T simply
sends to Canadian banks for redemp-
ton, but Collector Page of Portsmouth
in a letter to the Merchants bank of
Burlington, takes view in opposition
to this. With such conflicting instruc-
tiOns, banks in this district are very
unsettled as to the proper course.

Sarah's New Residence Mt Paris.

Sarah'snew hotel is a little gem. The
negro at the door was unpacking one
of the many trunks containing pres
ents which were made to her during
her long round trip. The billiard
room, which has been already men-
toned, is now transformed into a con-
servatory. The billiard table is cov-
cred with tropical skins, and several
other tables are loaded, with souvenirs
too numerous to mention, even to
Brazilian sombrero, which was offered
by a peasant who had nothing with
which to show is alteration but his best
hat. Sarah accepted it with her usual
good grace, not to hurt the mans feel
ings, and kissed him on both cheeks in
thanks. Never" said she, ''shall /
forget the pleasure pictured on that
handsome, bronzed face. l really i'm
agined that l must be a real queen.r
The grand piano is a stand for lilium
auratum and lilium roseum, the com
bined perfumes of which give really
tropical odor to this part of the house.

Orders OF Chivalry.

There are about ono hundred and
fifty orders of chivalry in Europe, and
most OF them are on the market in
Paris. They vary in price from 5000
to $1,000. The existence Of these
agencies shows that it is possible to OBJ
tain . decoration without having n
title to it other than q purchasable one.
As far back as the reign OF Henri Nv.
honorary distinctions were sometimes
conveyed by favor, and not for merit.
When that monarch RENTED the collar
of the order of the Holy Spirit to M.
de Lavieuville the recipient modsstly
replied: Sire, I am not worthy the
honor" II know it," replied the king,
smilingly, "but my nephew begged me
to invest you with it" History does
not say whether the nephew received
a commission for his influence. NJ. de
LaVieuville's remark recalls an nec
dote about Spontini. The celebrated
Italian composer was very vain and
10 lost an opportunity to bodeck
himself with all the orders he had re-.
ceived. At On evening party he heard
some n behind him say: "Spontini
il covered with crosses and Mozart
' had any," The Italian turned
suddenly about and replied: ~My
dear sir, Mozart bad genius enough 70

THE RUSSIAN CAVALRY.
A Writer ofThat Country Gives His Vie,
of American Mounted Soldiers.

A Writer ofThat Country Gives His View
o. American Mounted Soldiers.
Col. Sukhotin, who wants the Rus
sian army to be turned into hordes of
cavalry like those Of Tamerlane and
Genghis Khan, has contributed to a
Russian military magazine al able pa
per on American cavalry during the
war of secession. Therein we discover,
says the Lerdnt Herald, some of the
motives which induced the recent
transformation Of the Russian cavalry
into dragons. But as the wat was
waged between masses of unframed
horsemen it is highly improbable that
its lessons should amply to the condi-
tons OF a European conflict. The Anne
ricans on both sides preferred the revol-
yer in the melee to the saber or lance.
But why? Because their troopers were
not good enough horsemen to use the
cold steel with effect. A federal lam
Ger regiment, 700 strong, being routed
brought only twenty lances with them
out of the fray, and it is a potent fact
that the saber in the hands of a tyro is
more dangerous to his chargers ears
tudH w Ills Ill duultlOH,
unframed soldiers sadly ill-use and
neglect their horses. Experience
taught the federal government that its
cavalry under an enterprising leader,
had to be remounted throughout every
four months. The cavalry belonging
to the army of the Potomac, averaging
$4,000 strong, were supplied with 49,
O7S remounts within six months.
Rigorous measures we're taken
to compel the men to spare their hor-
SEES. A trooper galloping through a
street of Washington being called upon
by a sentry to moderate his pace was
shot dead on refusing to obey. Whole
regiments were turned into infantry
for persistent neglect Of their horses.
Sheridan's assertion that 10, 200 horses
should be able to prevent the concen-
tration Of 100000 men was based on
the assumption that he could at the
outset overwhelm the cavalry of the
enemy with the fire of dragons or
mounted infantry, and upon a belief in
it Russia seemed to have staked her
existence as a leading military power.
