 Madagascar.

The oldest cavalry in the world is maintained on the west coast of Mad asascar by Governor General J. G. Gal lieni. While the French troops in that country are ample to meet the occa- sional revolutionists, the governor gen. eral makes use of native talent for po- lice work in out-of-the-way localities, says the New York Herald.
 On the west coast of Africa Is a tribe of natives, possibly radically connected with the Hovas, who are known as the Sakalova, the most war like tribe of the country. The natives. in imitation of French troopers, or gaEized an oxen cavalry corps, under command of French officer. They are armed with modern long-handled iances, or spears, and side arms Their uniform is khaki. with skull caps, They ride barefooted, without stirrups, sitting on their equipment, cinched like saddle, with cords made of the native fiber plant, and a sort of bridle of the cord, passing through the nose of the beast.
