Richard the Thirds Bed.

From /" british Battles on Land and Sea."J
In the corporation records of Leicester
there is still preserved story curiously
illustrative of the darkness and precau-
ton of Richards character Among his
camp baggage it was his custom to carry
cumbersome wooden bedstead, which
he averred was the only couch he could
sleep i'll, but in which he contrived to
have secret receptacle for treasure, so
that it was concealed under a weight of
timber. After Bosworth Field the troops
of Henry pillaged Leicester; but the
royal bed was neglected by every plum
derer as useless lumber. The owner OF
the bed afterwards, discovering the
hoard, became suddenly rich, without
any visible cause. He bought land, and
at length became mayor of Leicester.
Many years afterwards his widow, who
had been left in great affiuence, was as
sassinated by her servant, who had been
prlvy to the affair; and at the trial of tins
culprit and her acc mplices the whole
transaction came to light. Concerning
this bed, public print of 1880 states
that "about half century since the'
relic was purchased by a furniture
broker of Leicester, who slept in it for
many years and showed it to the curious;
1t continues in as good condition, appar-
emily, as when used by King Richard,
being formed of oak, and having high
polish. The daughter os the broker
married one Darlington, of Rothley, near
Leicester, and the bed was removed TO
Babington's house, where it is still pre-
served.

next Saturday, at the Union depot, we are to
hold our primary meeting for selecting six
delegates to the county convention, express
ing onr wishes for or against county nomina-
tions, and our views on such other points as
we ma, see iit Already the sly whisper of
our opponents are heard predicting not only
for US, but for all the wards and precincts of
the county that everything is alresdy cut and
dried; that few tricksters will run tho meet
ipgs, etc., all of which we know to DC false.
But let us disprove their predictions by turn
ing out en- masse ut the appointed
time and place. and running our
own meeting in our own
way, combining our deliberations to n'ne but
Democrats of our own ward, As we never
intermeddle with the meetings of other par
ties, neither do we wish them to informed
die with ours. As spectators all are wei.
come-as participants none but true Demo-
Gratis of the third ward are desired. Among
such whatever differences there may be, il
any, ON minor points, let us-act with a sole
view to Democratic success in the presiden-
tial state and county elections. And so may
il be in every meeting al the same day and
hour, both in the town and county.

The false works at the Brazos river con-
tain over 100000 feet, board measure, OF
square timber, and stand upon piles driven
down to the rock. The piles are built OF cut
stone masonry, known as second-elass
founded on bedrock bottom, and the two
piles and two sbutments contain about 2O0,'
900 cubic yards of masonry. The complete
