EAT SeNSPRS It DLLs A WELL-KNOWN bishop, who takes a i Mainene interest in everything affecting the working classe; wishing to judge for himself what a journey in a workman's carriage was like, took a ticket and joined the miscellaneous crowd which fills these trains on the Great Eastern Railway. After a most undignified struggle for a seat he found bim- self jammed in between a navvy, smoking a strong, black pipe, on his right, and an artist in house painting, smelling strongly of his craft, and carefully balancing a can of green paint, on his left hand. In addition to apprehensions for the safe balance of this can and the very unpleasant odors arisiog, the good bishop was very much shocked by the bad language which garnished the conversation of his neighbors. After a particularly strong expression from the navvy, the bishop, touching him gently, inquired : “My good man, please tell me where you learn the lan- guage you have just made use of.” ‘The navvy replied, with a suspicion of pride in his tone: “Learn it, guv'nor! You can't learn it. It’s a gift— that's wot it is!"—San Francisco Post. A Goop story, illustrative of the prosaic nature on which art makes no impression, is told by the New York Evange/- tet In the “monument room" at Trinity church is the large marble tablet in memory of the late Bishop Hebart. It is a bas-relief representing the bishop—a portrait—in the agony of death, sinking into the arms of an allegorical female figure, presumably intended for the Angel of Death. It is said that an aged couple from the rural districts were being shown about the church, and, pausing long before the tablet, the old lady remarked to her husband: That's a good likeness of the bishop, but—" regarding the angelic personage attentively —* it's very poor one of Mrs. Hobart. I knew her well, and she didn't look like that."— Springfield Union. A BACHELOR senator of West Virginia, handsome and popular, was making his usual visits through his district just prior to the election, when, as he left his hotel in a small town, he saw a prominent citizen on the opposite side of the road, While well acquainted with him, he was unacquainted with his family, With his usual hearty manner he called out, ‘* How are you, colonel ?” which was returned, with the addition ‘ Are you looking around for votes ?” * Oh, no,” saysthe senator, I am just around on a little business, but thought that I would stop in to see you and kiss the baby.” Well, senator, I will be glad to see you, but you cannot kiss my baby, she is a girl and is eighteen years old."— “ Mister,” said a bright boy, on the street, to a passing gentleman, ‘will you please change half a dollar for me?” “Sorry I can’t, Johnny,” replied the man, ‘but I haven't much change about me.” “* How did you know that my name was Johnny ?” the boy apparently in surprise. “Oh, I guessed it 1” replied the man with an air which indicated that it was an easy matter for him to guess the name of any person he might chance to meet. “Then you guessed wrong,” added the boy, as he began to move away.‘ My name's Tommy."— Exchange. asked J.
