Oliver cromwslrs Burial Place.

Gen. Chalmers is doubtless a scholarly
man, yet l am compelled to make q little
correction which will spoil one of his
points. In his eloquent p%eroration he
says: "Sir, Cromwell sleeps in West
minister abbey besides England's hered-
itary kings"
Sir, Oliver Cromwell, that prince Of
the common people, that grand old Eng
lish "mudsill," who had more kingly
stuff in him than went to make up all
the Tudors, except Elizabeth, was only
allowed q short nap in that magnigcent
charnel-house of royalty. He was hauled
out d This grave by noble Cavaliers, cart
ed to-Tyburn. and there gibbeted-his
body buried under the gallows, his head
(which / wonder they were not as afraid
Of handling as though it had been a shell
picked up on q battle-feld) stuck on a
pike and set up on Westminster Hall,
where it blackened in the fog and
shriveled in the sun for nineteen years.
To this day, in England, the descendants
of the old Cavaliers, natural ~aristocrats
and monarchists, execrate the memory OF
| Cromwell.

The Defenses of London.

- jaw @NN"t
With the addition Of some huge 49,
ton guns, the heaviest artillery at present
in the service, to the defenses of the
Thames, the forts which now protect
London on the side of the sea may be
considered in a satisfactory condition.
We rarely regard London as a fortified
city, and yet against the attack of a hos
tile squadron it is as we'll assured az
any other port in the world. 1t is only
within the past few years that any really
serious steps have been made for the
proper defense of the center Of the ma
TONS greatness. At any time, no doubt,
we could organize in a few days a sys-
tenn of torpedo defense which would, if
successful, effectually bar progress up
the river; but tOrpedoes are at best q
treacherous kind of weapon, and are apt,
at times, to be as dangerous to friend as
to foe. Coming up to the More, the first
opposition that an enemy would be likely
to meet with are the Sheerness forts and
the Isle of Grain guns, together with
any long-range cannon which might hap
pen to be in position on the Essex
shore at Shoeburyness. In the event
of the hostile squadron passing these it
would next have to cope with a very
powerful battery at Coal House Point,
and another On the opposite shore called
the new Shornmeade Fort. These works
mount guns of very heavy caliber, and
are so constructed that they may operate
in unison and deliver a sweeping cross
fire. Moreover, the reach of the river il
of such a nature that the annon of the
forts could command any ships coming
up the river a couple Of miles before The
latter came abreast of the batteries. Il
VI suppose, however, the enemy to b
successful in evading these works also
then his progress would be checked agar
by Tilbury Fort and its companion worl
opposite New Tavern Fort. These fort
are also fitted with guns of heavy calibel
and long range, those on the Kent shor,
commanding the whole Of the long reacl
in the river just below Gravesend. l,
would only be in the event of an enemy
running the gauntlet of those big gun,
that it would have any chance whatever
of reaching the government factories a
WoOlwich, or those docks whose over
flowing riches the world has heard vaunt
ed 80 much and 70 often.

Of course, after arriving in Santa Fe
at night, as l did, it was necessary to
wait until morning to get an idea of the
town. The hotel was a little curious,
rambling as it did owe a large tract of
ground, and having little interior courts
here and there in the most b%ewildering
Manner, on which the rooms front.
Then there was no upstairs, and conse-
o%uently NO need for elevators and fire
escapes and all that. The walls were
over two feet in thickness, made of
adobe, the roof fat and covered with dirt,
and the rooms large and airy, with great
f~re-places. in which pine logs were crack
ling and flaming up the chimney at a
fearful rate. There are no andirons, and
the logs are set or end, and make a
glorious fire. Overhead were the clean
r~afters, supporting enough earth to make
a respectable garden, and of size to put
utterly to shame the Insignificant beams
