hoped to have it done by the first of
August. although help is now scarce.

Another Chapter of Times" Histo,

Another Chapter OF Times History.
The case of A. \. Earle against VIM.
W. Grout. which occupied the court
here for four days last week, was briefly
this: After +. l.. Iiovcy had started
and run the st. Johnsbury Times for
awhile. he wanted to sell ont. He went
to Barton. where Mr.. Earle was then
living. and tried to sell it to him. At
one time they came near IL trade, Mr..
Earle offering Mr.. Hovey $4,000 for it.
and when lIovey left Barton he told
| Earle he should take his offer unless he
could do better; and would let him
know the next Saturday night if it was
Il trade. Meantime Mr.. Earle informed
Gen. Grout of his expected purchase,
and told him if Hovey responded favor
ably Saturday. he should want him
| (Grout) to go to st. Jofnsbury Monday
make the writings and endorse his
| (Earle's) notes This Grout agreed to
do. 1t appeared that about this samt
time DR.. Bullard heard of the probable
sale of the Times to Earle, and going to
Hovcy on this same Saturday, pur-
chased the concern at the same figures
that Earle had offered for it. On Sat
urday night Earle received no letter

What Public Men Owe to News
papers.

Col. John W. Forney complains, in
we'll written article in the Philadelphia
Press, that public men as a class, are un-
grateful to the newspapers and the journ-
alists, to whom they, in many instances,
owe their position. Nobody is more com
petent tospeak on this subject than Col.
Forney himself, says the st. Louis Demo-
crat. He has made more statesmen out of
small material, than any man in America
He has taken more active part in the
personal of American politics in the last
twenty years than almost any other mau.
Much of.his work has been that of poll
tician, rather than that of a journalist,
but in either capacity he has always been
able to serve his friends well, and has al
ways served them faithfully His reward
has been very small. If he had let poll
tics alone and devoted himself exclusively
to journalism, he might have made great
er name than Greeley's, and greater for-
tune than Benefits. But he was always
fond of helping some friend to an Office,
and he always had a taste for political in
trigue with purpose of this kind. His
experience has, no doubt, been that of an
hundred others, who have operated in the
same way on smaller scale. Make Gov
ernor out of an Alderman to-day, and to-
morrow he'll tell you that he owes his ele-
vation to his own superior merits. Con-
gressmen are made by country newspapers
yet when they go to Washington, are apt
to repudiate their patentees and manufac-
turers in the most ungrateful manner.
There is too much puffery of small men
in The newspapers now-a-days-too much
disposition to exalt gentle dullness, and
am;able imbecility into intellectual greatness
and real ability. Every chuckle-head in
Congress receives more praise from the
press ofhis party now, than could truthful
ly have been bestowed on Daniel Webster in
his palmiest days.
For our part, we have about quit turning
a grindstone for selfish political aspirants
to grind their axes upon, and playing Or
ganist for the elevation, of ambitious men
into high places that the man turn and rend

Nothing Like Straw Beds.

OF the eight pounds which a man
eats and drinks in day, it is thought
that not less than five pounds leave
the body through the skin. And of
these five pounds a considerable per-
centage escapes during the night,
while he is in bed. The larger part
of this is water, but in addition there
is much effete and poisonous matter.
This being in great part gaseous in
form, penetrates every part of the
bed-mattress, blankets, as we'll as
sheets soon become foul and need
puriication. The mattress needs
this quite as much as the sheets.
To allow the sheets to be used
without washing or changing three
or six months, would be regarded as
bad housekeeping; but I must insist,
if thin sheet can absorb poisonous
execretions of the body to make it
unfit for use in few days, thick
mattress, which can absorb and retain
a thousand times as much of these
poisonous secretions, needs to be
purified as often as once in three
months A sheet can be washed. A
mattress cannot be renovated in this
way. Indeed, there is no other way
of cleaning mattress but by steam
ing, or picking it to pieces, and thus
in fragments exposing it to the di-
rect rays of the sun.
AS these processes are scarcely
practicable with any of the ordinary
mattresses, I am decidedly of the
opinion that the good old-fashioned
straw bed, which can every three
months be exchanged orfresh straw,
and the tick washed, is the sweetest
and healthiest of beds. If in the
winter season the porousness of the
straw bed makes it a little uncom-
Portable, spread over it a comforta =
BILE or two, or wooden blankets, which
should be washed every two weeks.
With this arrangement, if you wash
the bed covering as often as once in
one or two weeks, you will have a
delightful, healthy bed.
Now, if you leave the bed to air,
with open windows during the day,
and not make it for the night before
evening, you will have added greatly
to the sweetness of your rest in con-
sequence, and the tone of your
health. I heartily wish this good
change could be everywhere intro
duced. Only those who have thus
attended to this important matter
can judge of its influence on the
general health and spirits. [Dio
