THE SIXTH Z. S. CA VALRY.
A RECORD OF ITS EXPLOITS FROM 1861
TO THE PRESENT TIME.

From Yorktown to Santiago with the Sixth
U. S. Cavalry Baltimore: Lord Baltimore
Press is the title under which Colonel William
H. Carter, Assistant Adjutant- General. de-
soribes the services of a well known cavalry
regiment of the Regular Army from its organi-
zation in 1851 down TO the present time. The
regiment is now with General Chaffee in China,
and Colonel Carter aptly remarks in the preface
that to conserve the truth of history 1t may
soon be necessary to amend the title to read
From Yorktown to Picking"
The pages Of this book recite so simply the
deeds by flood and field OF Regulars that the
reader scarce comprehend the incessant
labor, courage and activity demanded of real
cavalrymen in active service. In writing of the
terrible conflict on the flank at Gettysburg the
author says: Simple language and plain state
ments OF facts required to fifty honor the
deeds of men whose veteran association had the
courage to adopt for a motto Fairfield the
name Of the one battle in which all lost
save honor and the regimentaI standard" He
follows the regiment through all the campaigns
of the Army of the Potomac and in the valley
with Sheridan After the grand review in
Washington the depleted ranks were filed and
the troopers FASTENED away to the Mexican
border in Texas to encounter the chickering's and
mlsertes Of the reconstruction era, dis
tasteful than the hardships of actual war
Thence to the plains, and on to Arizona over the
famed Santa Fe trail scouting. marching, fight
ing with the red in their last grand efforts
to stem the tide Of expansion, and thence to the
peaceful preparation for which made the
little body of Regulars that went with Shafter
to Santiago of the most athletic and capable
armies Of trained fighters Of its size ever put in
the field.
The description Of the services OF the cavalry
in the Santiago campaign forms a clear and
simple story. II may detract from what some
people think they did at San Juan. but truth
Injuries no organization. 1t is usual to discuss
militarism and expansion at every freside, and
the author touches the subject lightly but to the
point: Hypocrisy and cant may revel in academ-
&c discussion of the rights Of nongrel nations
but as long as there remain upon the pages of
history the stories of Valley Forge, of Yorktown
Manila and of Santiago long Will children
lisp with proud mien the stories Of their fathers
swords. There is no pride akin to that which
comes of knowledge that ones ancestors have
rendered the State some service" The intro
ductory chapter is a readable one, and the
aftermath" which the author has introduced
to avoid thirteenth chapter enbodies a plea
for recognition Of the services of our gallant
Regular cavalry. General Chaffee enlisted as
private in the 9th and learned his trade as
warrior par excellence during his more than
a quarter Of century Of service with its
guidons. The volume is handsomely illustrated
by Remington. De Thulstrup, Keeper, Gaul
Christy, Zogbaum and Larned.

SMALL TALK AND TALL TALK.

Between literary small talk and literary tan

each Of these pleasures is somewhat beside the

THE NEW KING.
saturday Review.

From The Saturday Review.
All eyes are turned upon Victor En-
manuel III, the new sovereign OF the modern
kingdom of Italy. As Prince OF Naples he has
been complete enigma. and never, perhaps,
did any nation know little Of its soyereign's
heir apparent. He is known to be efficient
soldier with turn for strategy; he is a good
shot, fair hOrseman. constant yachtsman:
his hobby Is numismatics and he is q good
herald and genealOgist. But he has never
courted popularity and has never been pOpU-
lar, and the sort of knowledge Of him that is
public does not help US 10 estimate his pOben-
tialities ruler. In infancy and boyhOOd his
health weak; hence. perhaps. the vague
general impression that he is also weak in
character.
There are those who think that he win prove
more OF figurehead than his unfortunate
father; and again there are those who think
that he is a dark horse and Will do strong
and great things. and even things autOcratic.

A popular impression that many or the olo
Massachusetts, hill towns have been degeheraI-
ing is fatty contradicted in an interesting ar
tlcle in THE New-England Magazine the
writer, Mr.. A. e. winship. maintains that while
these have fallen behind, in a few instances
in point of population it has not been enough
to make this fact significant. He declares that
the farms, as a whole, yield much more money
than they did forty years ago; that the schools
are far better IN every way; that the Factory
life has been restorative physically, mentally
and morally, to the degenerate families OF the
former period; and that there was never so
great a sum total of virtue of Chrtstlikeness
in Massachusetts as there is to-day.
Mr. winship's arguments and illustrations are
vigorous and some of them are convincing.

so many American officers, both OF the Army
