New British Cavalry's Sword.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The pattern of the new cavalry sword
has now been approved for manufacture.
1t differs from those of previous patterns
chiefly in being fitted with straight,
tapering blade to facilitate thrusting. The
guard is shaped to afford more protection
on the left side. and the grip is formed to
fit the hand, recess for the thumb being
cut In the back. The scabbard is a
straight taper from end to end and made
of steel. The weight Of the sword is about
two pounds fourteen ounces, and of the
scabbard one pound six ounces.
Historically. the Times observes, the
adop ton of a thrusting sword is of inter-
est as being a reversion to the single
edged rapier Of the seventeenth century,
the period when, according to some Of our
most eminent authorities, the qualities of
a fighting sword were best understood,
armor having practically gone out of use
and firearms being still very imperfect.
Such an authority as Capt. Hutton is
understood to object to sword special
lied for thrusting. on the ground that a
man cannot fight his way out of a crowd
with It, 1t may. too. be objected that the
sword is comparatively heavy. but that
may be due to the British troopers well
known prejudice in favor Of a certain
amount Of weight.

Barristers and Boards.

From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
All restrictions against boards have long
since been removed at the inns of court,
but the prejudice against the bearded bar.
rster has survived almost to the present
time. Many Of the old judges would de-
cline to listen to an advocate who wore
either a beard or mustache, and mutton
chops" or ''sideboards'' were barely toll
Grated. Vice Chancellor Bacon-the last
OF the vice chancellors-always pretended
that he could not hear barrister whose
voice, he assarted. was muffied by
mustache. and he is, said to have once
threatened to commit a junior member OF
the bar for contempt of court for per-
sistently disregarding his wishes on the
subject.
