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! Adams on waking for his wretched 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. lb« Green-Eyed Monster. w II.—Tho.

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 oscapod type. 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. Louisiana State Lottery Go.
