How a Medieval Monarch Went to Bed.
From Pages of History.
First. page took torch and went to the
wardrobe where the bedding was kept. The
articles were brought out by the keeper to four
yeomen, who made the bed, while the page
held the torch at the foot. One Of the yeomen
searched the straw with his dagger, and when
he found there was no evil thing hidden there
he laid bed Of down on the straw and threw
himself upon it. Then the bed Of down was
well beaten and bolster laid in its proper
place. Then the sheets were spread in due
order, and over these was laid fustian. Then
came 'pane sheet" which we now call
counterpart. Finally the sheets were turned
down and some pillows laid on the bolster,
after which the yeomen made cross and kissed
the bed where their hands were. And then an
angel carved in wood was placed beside the
bed and the curtains let down. After this
gentleman usher brought the kings sword and
placed it at the beds head, and the whole was
then delivered into the custody Of groom or
page, who watched il with light burning until
the king retired to rest.

The GunbOat Petrol.

THE CONTRACTORS MUST GO BEFORE CONGRESS
FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME.
Secretary Tracy has finally acted upon the
application of the Columbian iron works. of
Baltimore, for an extension Of time for COM
plotting their contract for the construction of
the gunboat Petrol. BY such an extension the
contractors would be relieved in part of for
FIXTURES to the government from the
delay in completing the vessel
The application for relief was referred to a
board composed of Chief Constructor Wilson.
Engineer-in-ChiefM Melville and Capt. Howison
chief of the steel inspection board. The board
reported that the trouble between the con-
tractors and the manufacturers of materials
orders was the chief cause of delay IN
completing the Petrol; that the contractors
had had great difficulty in meeting the require
ments of the government when commencing
the work; that the parties concerned faith
fully labored to meet their several obligations.
but unforeseen failures caused serious delays
in the final completion of the vessel, and that
the government was not responsible for such
delay, and in consequence the board was COM
PEELED to recommend that no extension of time
be made.
In this report Secretary Tracy concurs, hold
ing that while it appears that the contractors
faithfully endeavored to comply with the terms
of their contract, and that the delays were
caused by failures on the part of manufacturers
of materials, and that the government had
suffered no pecuniary loss, yet as the delay
was not the result of any act of the
government, its officers or agents, no
discretion or authority is left with the depart
ment to grant the extension. Power to grant
the relief asked for rests with Congress alone.
and that body can give due consideration and
weight to such equities as the contractors may
have to lay before il.
