called the Celestial Bed" 1t was made by
one Denman. a tinsmtth, and was claimed to
have cost G12,O0D. It was beautifully carved
and gilded, covered with silk damasE, sup
ported by twenty eight glass pillars, and sur
mounted by a richly carved and gilt canopy,
and tassels were suspended. Graham pre-
tended that married couples without children
might have heirs by sleeping In this bed, tor
which privilege he demanded gi00 per night,
and such Is the folly Of wealth that persons Of
high rank were named who had aceeded to-
these terms.
