CHOMWELL AND HIS HORSES.
n Accident That lie fell tho Protector
Whllo BrlviuJr Iri Hydo Park. ,
C. H. Firth, in an artielo on Oliver
Cromwell's association with horses, says
in Mnomillan's Magazine:
'As Cromwell roso in power and rault
his lovo of horses began to bo more con
spicuous. When ho started from Lon
don in 1040 to reconquer Iroland, ho
went forth in that stato and cquipago as
ho liko hatli hardly boon seen himsolf
In a coach with sis gallant Flandora
mares, roddish gray." In 1C55, when
tho Spanish embassador took his Jcavo
of tho lord protector, Cromwoll sont
him "his own coach of six whito
horses'" to convoy him to and from
WhitehalL "Certain it is," adds tho
narrator, "that uono of tho English
kings had over any such."
Tho protector- was not mnch or a
whip, however. In 1C54 tho Count of
Oldenburg sent Cromwell a present or
six horses, and tho protector's anxiety
to make trial of their quality led to his
well known pdventuro in Hydo park.
On Friday, Sept. 29, ho went -with Sec
retary Thnrloo and soma of his gentle
men to tako air in tho park, ordered tho
six horses to bo harnessed to his coach,
put Thnrloo insido of it and undertook
to drivo himsolf. "His highness," said
letter from tho Dutch embassador,
drovo pretty' handsomely for some
time, but at last, provoking those horses
too much with, tho whip, they grew un
ruly, whereby his highness va3 flung
out ef tho coach box upon tho ground.
His foot getting hold in tho tackling,
ho was carried away a good whilo in
that posture, but at last ho got his foot
clear, and so camo to escape. Ho was
presently brought home, and let blood,
and after somo rest taken is now well
again. Tho secretary, being hurt on his
anklo with leaping out cf tho coach,
hath been forced to keep his chamber
hitherto and been unfit for any busi
ness."
Tho royalist Scroggs. afterward chief
Justice, writing of this incident, hoped
that the nest fall would bo from a cart
hinting at tho gallows. As to Crom
well's viows on tho burning question of
horso racinp. it is difficult to amvo at
a positivo'conclusion. His constant aim
was to possess a3 many good horses as
ho could afford. Whether ho entered
hi3 horsed for races or had tho satisfac
tion of owning a winner history does
not say.
HIS COLLATERAL GOOa
Uott Tom Fitch of Kcvada Csctl to "Italic
tfco Wind."
Tom Fitch of Nevada wa3 a bright
fellow and ont of tho best writers and
stump speakers of tho west, but ho was
thriftless, and when ho got hard up
would resort to almost any means to
get a stake. .
One dav ho wroto a scathing' speech
denouncing Sharon, then president of
the Bank of California and afterward
United States Ecnator from Nevada. In
it Uncharged Phirn vrirh n'raost every
crimo known to tho decaloguo or tho
statutes. Ho put tho manuscript in a
large envclopo and walked into tbrf
Dank of California.
"Hero," ho said to the cashier, hand
ing Iho package through the window,
"hire aru somo securities which I offer
as collateral on a loan. Pleaso band
them to Air. Sharon in person, and I
will wait for his answer."
ilr. Sharon was in his private office.
Breaking the seal of tho envelope, he
found the speech and read it through,
together with a note from Fitch, in
forming him that unless ho was paid
$o,000 ho would deliver that speech in
everv town in tho state. In a few min
utes the cashier, on ilr. Sharon's order,
reported that tho collateral was all
right and paid tho happy Fitch the do
sired amount
Three months afterward, having gono
through the money m speculation and
dissipation, Hr. Fitch made his appear
ance with another speech, this time of
a very complimentary character, which
ho uromised to deliver at ever conven
ient opportunity, for the samoiainount.
That, too, proved good collateral, and
tho story would have never como to
light if Fitch had not, in a moment of
drunken frankness, told it himself.

THACKERAY WAS ANGRY.
Tho Sailors Who Intended to Play a Trlcli
Changed Their Jlinds.
Onco upon a timo tho daughters ol
Thackeray saw that good man thorough
ly and heartily angry angry to the
point of profanity. It was during theii
Italian journey, when they wero re
turning to tho, ship in Genoa harbor aft
er a day on tho shore.
"Wo had to bo on board at a certain
time," Mrs. Ritchio says in her Mac
millan paper, "so that we engaged a
carriage and drovo quickly to tho quay,
whoro tho convicts, clanking in their
chains, wero still at work. A boat was
found, rowed by somo sailors, who cer
tainly did not wear chains, but who
wero otherwise not vory unliko those
industrious convicts in appearance. The
bargain was made, wo all fivo entered
tho boat, and a3 wo wwro getting in "we'
could sco our great snip in tho twilight,
looking bigger than ever, and one rock
et and then another going off toward
tho dawning stars.
" 'They aro signaling for us,' said
ono of our companions. 'Wo shall soon
bo on board. '
"Wo had pulled somo 20 strokes from
tho shoro by this timo when suddenly
tho boatmen left off rowing. They put
down their oars, and one of them began
talking volubly, though I could not un
derstand what ho said. 'What's fo bo
done?' said ono of tho young men to my
father. They say they won't go on un
less wo givo them CO francs more, ' and
ho began shaking his head, and remon
strating in broken Italian. Tho boat
men paid no attention, shrugging their
shoulders and waiting a3 if they were
determined never to row another stroke.
Then tho steamer sent up two more
rockets, which roso through tho twi
light, bidding us hurry, and then sud
denly my father roso up in tho stern of
tho boat where ho was sitting, and,
standing tall and erect and in an anger
such as I had never seen him in before
or after in all my life, ho shouted out
in loud and impatient English, 'D
you, goons asimpiomaicaiciionwnicn
carried more forco than all tho Italian
polysyllables and expostulations of our
companions. To our surprise and great
relief, tho men seemed frightened; they
took to their oars again and began to
row, grumbling and muttering. When
wO got on board tho ship, they told us
it was a well known trick tho Genoese
boatmen wero in tho habit of playing
upon travelers and that they would havo
sent a boat for nsif wo had delayed any
longer."
A Bad Beginning..
Hero is a story told by a city curate,
to whom the experience happened on
tho occasion of his first wedding. The
rector had told him to bo careful to fill
up tho register with the correct ages of
the bride and bridegroom. The cere
mony having been gono through, tho
happy couple, who wero of. mature- age,
adjourned to Jho y entry to dgnfthojjjM:-;
istex. a. - "-
The bridecrooni.wfceHaateiisse.'!
fgavuisFBi occ3 as uy, uat xiui uriuu,
with tho moucsty natural to tee sax,
merely said she was of fall age, while
when remonstrated with she pertly told
tho curate that it was not tho first time
she had gono through tho ceremony, and
sho meant to insist upon her rights.
Finally, as tho brido remained ob
duratc, the bridegroom, thinking to put
matters straight, told tho curate tho age.
Far from serving as tho oil on tho wa
ter?, tliis only made matters worse, for
the brido flew into a passion and insist
ed upon tho bridegroom telling her how
he knew her age.
"I looked at year family Bible, my
dear," was tho quiet rejoinder,
"And what right had yen, pray, to
tako such a liberty before we wero mar
ried;" And tho two, who had came to
church as affectionate as a pair of turtle
doves, left in a pet. Tho curato who
was responsible is still wondering what
was tho final upshot of this unfortunate
incident. London Tit-Bits.
Not So Easily Deceived.
It is laughable and sometimes sad,
too to sco tho devices adopted by the
peoplo who tako a pitcher or a can to
tho saloon for beer.
A man has no way to hido it, and ho
is generally tho most sensitive on tho
subject. Sometimes ho will put it in a
paper. Often ho will tako out a largo
bcttlo and stuff it in his pocket, and I
saw oao man hido a pitcher with his
broad brimmed hat and saunter away
from a saloon bareheaded.
Women uso their aprons as covers,
though I never observed ono yet who
didn't make her errand all tho mcro
conspicuous by this means.
Ouo servant girl placed a can of beer
at tho foot of a baby's perambulator and
covered it with a shawl, and I expected
tho amber fluid to scatter in all direc
tions. I knew of ono woman who used tc
send oat a tin can marked "milk"
often tho stage fashion of laboliug poi
cons, liquors, etc but I don't think it
over deceived any one. New York Re

BUYING 'PRECIOUS STONES.
Somo of the Valuable Genu and What
They Axe -Hade Of.
Buying jewels is as hazardous as bay
ing horses, and could anything possibly
bo morb risky than tho latter? White
sapphires have occasionally been sold as
diamonds, and as proof that white topaz
may easily bo confused with them ona
has only to recall tho fact that tho lar
gest diamond in tho world, tho Bragan
za, belonging to tho crown of Portugal
and valued at 58,000,000, is by many
considered to bo only a topaz. Carbon, .
in a pure crystallized state, is in every
color of the rainbow, red, orange, green, ,
blue and even black, and occasionally
the colored arc as valuable as a brilliant
of tho samo size.
Tho jewels next in hardness to the
diamond are tho sapphire and the ruby,
called by experts corundum, or crystal
lized clay. Blue corundum is called sap
phire; red, ruby; green, oriental emer-
aid; orange, oriental topaz, and violet,
oriental amethyst Tho word oriental
distinguishes theso from real emerald,
topaz and amethyst, which are distinct
minerals.
The largest and most famous ruby in
tho world forms part of tho imperial
stato crown made for Queen Victoria in
1S38. It is believed that this ruby was
worn in front of tho helmet of Henry V
at Agincourt. '
Tho most precious sapphires and ra
bies, when cut and polished, show raya
from the center to the sides in tha form
of a six pointed star. On this account
they aro called star sapphires or rubies.
It is difficult to produce a gem upon
theso stones on account of their exceed
ing hardness, but there are' a few good '

An Expert Opinion.
. An old watchman, who used to keep
guard in the department of justice, from
long association with the legal lights
in tha building believed he bad imbibed
a.fair share of learning in the law, and
so when one night a telegram addressed
to the attorney general came after hours
he had no hesitancy in opening it and
reading its message. It asked tho ques
tion, "Is a man to bo held responsible
for a crime committed whilo under the
influence of liquor?" The watchman
pondered over this message for some
time, and, as ho knew what the influ-.
eace of liquor was, he sent the laconic
answer: "No indeed. (Signed) John,
Jones, in chargp of department of jus
tice." Of coarse thero was an immedi
ate attack cn tho attorney general far
each a decision, and the matter came
to the ears of the department An inves-,
ligation was made and tho watchman'
suspended for threo months. That did
net worry him, however. With ef
frontery that simply damfounded tho
clerks, Iiq camfl to tho building every
pay day during that time of suspension
and drew his salary. Kato Field's

it is fastened to a rock overlooking tho

It is said that wood may be thorough

a strong solution of calcium bisulphato

to tho air and become practically a part
