Franklin and Adams as Boom*nates
[Exchange,]
Here is a funny old story, which has
never seen print, and it is true, having
come down among the traditions of the
old families of Massachusetts, says a
Boston letter: Some time daring tlm
revolutionary period, or a little after,
John Adams and Benjamin Franklin
were dispatched from Philadelphia, I
believe, to this stato on a public errand.
Adams had a mortal antipathy, shared
by him along with the majority of man*
kind at that day, against the night air.
He beliq7ed that if he kept his bed
room wiulow open even a crack at
night he would surely die. Franklin,
on the other hand, was a disbeliever in
the theory of danger in the night air,
and ho had many arguments with
Adams thereon. Circumstances and
the crowded condition of many of tho
taverns they stopped at oa their jour
ney eastward, compelled them fre
quently to occupy the same rorun, and
often the same bed. Adams always op
posed raising the window, and' poor
Ben nearly suffocated and revile!

Auarns on waking for Ins wretched
theory of the deadly effects of nature’s
universal medium of breath.
One night Pen slyly raisod a window
in their common chamber, but Adams,
the alert for his friend’s littlo games,
insisted that it should bo closed at once.

.Said crafty Hen: “Now, Mr. Adams,
we’ll go to bed with the window up, and
I will show yon why it will not bo
harmful to us to permit it to stay open.
If I cannot convince you of the reason
ableness of my theory, I will myself got
up and close the window.” Adams
weakly consented, and Ben began to
reason with him. Finally poor Adams
was talked to sleep, and Hen tranquilly
resigned himself to slumber. Next
morning great was Adams’ horror at
iindjng the window up, but not having
died during the night, and feeling no
ill effects from having breathed the night
air, lie became a convert to sly Benja
min’s night-air theory. The author o.'
a history of Amt riea during the colonial
epoch told me this anecdote as some
thing amusing, which had hitherto

The Mherman Family.
[“Gath” in New York Tribune.]
Having been in Ohio a part of the
week I went through Senator John
Sherman’s residence, now being trans
formed and enlarged. It will be his
third homo construction at Mansfield
since he moved there in 1840, at the age
of, say 20. Like Gen. Sherman, he had
been an adopted son and of liis cousin
at tho town of Mt. Vernon, where
Columbus Delano and Gen. Morgan re
side, both equally respected by their
townsmen though of opposite parties.
John Sherman began life a rod-man on
the Muskingum Improvement and Canal
company in 1837, in the first year of
President Van • Huron’s construction.
His father removed to Ohio because his
deputies in tho office of internal col
lector in Conuecticut plundered him
and broke him up. He left eleven chil
dren and next to no property, yot ob-
porvo the career of that poor family!
Industry, genius, beauty, sociability and
length of days seem perennial there.
From that poor widow, several of whose
children the good neighbors and kin re
lieved her of, the mind and eyo wander
to the beauty of Mrs. Gon. Miles, tho
vivacity of Mrs. Donald Cameron, tho
refunder of the publio debt and the
great Alario of freedom marching to
the sea. Let those who die poor with
purely descended posterity compose
their souls!
Mrs. John Sherman, the people at
Mansfield say, hus been as industrious
' and attentive to the interests of her
husband as himself, and some allege
that she can draw up u law paner and
transcribe it os accurately as a lawyor,
and has ofteu dono so. She bears the
highest name for her inodoaty, pru
dence, strength of nature and single
ness of fidelity. Not having children
of her own she has imitated the ex
ample of those who sheltered her hus
band’s brethren, and found posterity
eeay.

(London Truth.}
The reluctance of the late Prince Al
bert to disburse money was only
equaled by his eagerness to obtain it.
It is not generally known that ho held
the nominal post now filled by Count
Gleichen for many years, and, although
in receipt of an annual allowance of
£30,000, ho regularly drew his salary
of £1,200 as governor of Windsor castle
down to tho vory last hour of his life.
The value of his estate has never yet
transpired, nor have tho provisions of
the prince s will ever been made public.
It is not easy to umlstand why Queen
Victoria should have made such a pro
found mystery of the matter, but it is a
fact that the most stringent precautions
were taken, and have been continued to
keep everything connected with the
princo’s property and its disposition a
dead secret.
