Sheridan, having finished his famous speech in the trial of• Warren hest: iegs, sank back apparently fainting in the arms of his friends. Edmund Burke,, at the end of a speech upon the atrocities whit h might be expected from the reench in case of an invasion, drew forth an enormous two edged dagger and claiming, "This is the weapon whie i will be pointed at your throats un:i mine!" dashed it on the floor with a tragic gesta e. Shortly afterward Lord Cairre, The Three Gold Balls. Much speculation has been ventured as to the origin and signif Bance of the unique trade mark that swings above every pawnshop, says a writer. The most popular misconception is that the three gold balls stand for the money loaned by the pawnbroker. The first pawnbroker in England was an agent of the Medici family of Florence, and the three balls which he .adopted as his sign were the coat of arms of that famous line. For the history of the adoption by the Mediele of this heraldry there is a fantastic tale. It has been said that it was ap- propriated by an early Medici, one of the generals of Charlemagne, who, af- ter slaying a certain terrible giant, took off as a souvenir his great club which had nailed to it three iron balls. Enlightening if true. It is not true. The fact.is that the original balls of the device were blue, and represent. ed nothing more romantie than the pills formerly administered by the Medic's, who were physicians before they were money -lenders. The blue balls were gilded only about 70 years ago. . "Front the sublime to the ridieulous," may say the disappointed reacher. But truth will out. Beware the gilded pills! ENGLAND. speaking against Burke (who was sus- petted of having amassed his wealth. dishonestly), exclaimed: "And this is the weapon which is used with fatal , effect ligalnst you and isle!" dragging out with Burke's gesture a R..5 note.
