CROMWELL AND Ills HORSES.
An Accident That Defell the Protector
While Driving In Hyde Park.

An Accident That DefeIl the Protector
While Driving In Hyde Park.
Q. h Firth, in au article on Oliver
Cromwell's association with horses, says
in Macmillan's Magazine:
"As Cromwell roso in power and rank
his love of horses began to be more con.
spicuous. When he started from Lon
don in 1649 to reoonquer Ireland, he
went forth in that state and equipage as
the like hath hardly been seen himself
in coach with six gallant Flanders
mares, reddish gray" In 1866, when
the Spanish ambassador took his leave
Of the lord protector. Cromwell sent
him "his own coach of six white
horses" to convey him to and fros=
Whitehall. Certain 1t is" adds the
narrator, that none Of the English
kings had ever any SUCH"
The protector was not much Of
whip, however. In 1854 the Count Of
Oldenburg sent Cromwell present Of
six horses, and the protectors anxiety
to make trial Of their quality led to his
well known adventure in Hyde park.
On Friday, Sept. 80, he went with Seo-
rotary Thurloe and some of his gentle-
men to take air in the park, ordered the
six horses to be harnessed to his coach,
put Thurloe inside of 1t and undertook
to drive himself. "His highness, said
letter from the Dutch ambassador,
drove pretty handsomely for some
time, but at last, provoking those horses
too much with the whip, they grew un-
ruly, whereby his highness was flung
out Of the coach box upon the ground.
His foot getting hold in the tackling,
he was carried away good while in
that posture, but at last no gov his ioot
clear, and so came to escape. He was
presently brought home, and let blood,
and after some rest taken is now well
again. The secretary, being hurt ON his
ankle with leaping out Of the coach;
hath been forced to keep his chamber
hitherto and been unfit for any bust
ness ="
The royalist Scroggs. afterward chief
Justice, writing Of this incident, hoped
that the next fall would be from cart
limiting at the gallows. As to Crom-
wells views on the burning question Of
horse racing it is difficult to arrive at
positive conclusion. His constant aim
was to possess as many good horses as
he could afford. Whether he entered
his horses for races or had the satisfac.
tion Of owning a winner history does
not say.

Chinese Pawnbrokers.

Among the Canton houses there are
occasional exceptions to the general one
storied or low constructions Some Of
these are built like. square towers four
or FIVE stories high, with no outside
windows save at considerable distance
above the ground and no outside pro-
jections by which thieves might climb
up. These establishments are called
pawnshops, but they appeared to me
more to resemble our banks where we
place deeds and other valuables for safe
ty. I understand 1t is usual among the
Chinese to deposit their possessions Of
value, when not In use, In these estab-
lishments The people also store there
during summer their winter clothing,
and loans may be obtained against the
goods stored. To have dealings with q
pawnshop is in no way considered de-
rogatory to a Chinese gentleman's dig
nifty. FLORENCE O'Driscoll, M. p, in

HIS COLLATERAL GOOD.
How Tom Fitch OF Nevada Used to 'rasise

How Tom Fitch OF Nevada Used to ''Raiss
tho Wind"
Tom Fitch Of Nevada was bright
fellow and one Of the best writer's and
stump speakers Of the west, but he was
thriftless, and when he got hard up
would resort to almost any means to
get stake.
One day he wrote scathing speech
denouncing Sharon, then president Of
the Bank Of California and afterward
United States senator from Nevada. In
1t he charged Sharon with almost every
crime known to the deoalogue or the
statutes. He put the manuscript in a
large envelope and walked into the
Bank Of California
Here" he said to the cashier, hand
ing tho package through tho window,
"hero are some securities which / offer
as collateral on loan. Please hand
them to Mr.. Sharon in person, and !
will wait for his answer. .g
Mr.. Sharon was In his private office.
Breaking the seal Of the envelope, he
found the speech and read 1t through,
boBObnCi Wibh uOtc tIOi EltOuy III
forming him that unless he was paid
$5. 900 he would deliver that speech In
every town In the state. In few min
,ntes the cashier, on Mr.. Sharon's order.
reported that the collateral was all
right and paid the happy Fitch the de,
sired amount.
Three months afterward, having gone
through the money in speculation and
dissipation, Mr.. Fitch made his appear
ance with another speech, this time Of
very plimentary character, which
he promised to deliver at ever oonven-
lent opportunity, for the same amount
That, too proved good collateral, and
