At Mud Springs, a village a few miles from Placerville, they met a large delegation of the citizens of Placerville, who had come out to meet the celebrated editor, and escort him into town. There was a military company, a brass band, and a six-horse wagon-load of beautiful damsels in milk-white dresses, representing all the States in the Union.
The king's carriage was brought round, the people again shouted, the cannon roared, the six black horses reared and plunged, and away he went. After all, says the artist, "the King of Bavaria has not much power." "You can see," returns a gentleman who speaks English, "just how much he has: it is a six-horse power."
Hello, here are some of the Bledsoes, and if you will give me a lift with this tombstone I guess I will join company and jog along with them mighty respectable old family, the Bledsoes, and used to always come out in six-horse hearses and all that sort of thing fifty years ago when I walked these streets in daylight. Good-by, friend."

They came to a great freight wagon under a tree, with tackle showing that it was a six-horse outfit. "Here we are! 'Light down and unsaddle, Petey, and we'll take off the packs.

She was assigned a troop of royal bodyguards for escort, and when she travelled there was a never-ending train to follow her six-horse coach, and officers of State came to receive her with royal honours wherever she passed. In her immeasurable pride she became a tyrant, even over the King himself.
