FAMOUS CAvALRYMEN.

Murat, Hodson, Lasalle, Slzobelof and
Roberts as Swordsmen.
Time was when to be an expert swords
man was looked upon as one of the most
essential qualifications an officer could
possess, and several OF our most cele-
brated soldiers at the commencement of
the century were remarkable as much
for their personal prowess with the sword
as for any of the larger gifts which go to
form great commander. Sir William
Napier could run or jump with any one
OF the gallant members of his regiment,
and records how, in the race for the
rocks at La Rhnne, he was mot q foot
behind" the most active Of them. And
he could hold his own with the foils, the
single sticks, or the bayonet, as well as
in mere bodily activity.
Marshal Bereeford was man Of mag
nifcent physique, and owed his life to
his thews and sinewswhen he found him
self engaged in a rough-and- tumble that
would have shocked Won MoItke with
the Polish Lancers at Albuera. Lord
Anglesey was also typical "beau sab
reur," aud even when be lost leg could
sit horse with more grace than most
mortals can display with two. During
the Mutiny and Sikh wars hand to- hand
