1t was full of people sitting facing one another,
exactly as they do in an English railway car
riage They made room for me, and sat down
so amused. Presently there was violent ring
ing of the bell. l looked all around to see what
it meant, After a while--the bell still ringing,
my dear-a man said to me:
You haven't paid your fare ma am"

fare was, but gave the man dollar, and
thought that would certainly be enough. Then
the man handed it up through hole and gave
me queer little paper back. put it in my
pocket to examine when got home. They give
one things now everywhere you know. Then
the bell began ringing again Such din! Then
the same man said again to me:
You haven't pai0 your fare ma'amF

New Story About General Neal Dow.

who languished in Libby during the war, and
who has fouriShed ever since as missionary
and a church-debt raiser, was here last week to
lecture. He looks better than he ever did be-
fore. He told a lot of good stories, among them
one about Neal Dow that was new to me- Gen
cral Dow had been all through the South and
had got better notion of the real state
lines than was current among federal officers in
that delectable old tobacco warehouse and
locked up with Chaplain McCabe and goodly
company of officers which included half a hun
dred lawyers just at that time the prison
authorities were kindly disposed, partly because
so many of the prisoners were
such good fellows. The prisoners
were allowed to hold social meetings
of a harmless sort for lectures, music and the
like. General Dow, always a great favorite in
the South on account of his temperance theories,
was rather encouraged to hold temperance meet
ings for the conversion of those poor fellows.
who could scarcely get water andnever dreamed
of whisky General Dow improved the Occa-

not always talk abodo temperance. Sometimes
he talked about the weakness of the confederate
strength On those occasions his voice Ordinari-
" sank to a whisper But once, under the intlu-
cncc of his own eloquence. he forgot where he
was and fairly roared out: "Ycs, gentlemen,
the Confedcracy is tottering to timely grave"
Just at this moment the guard looked in. ''As

Questioning Bishops Veracity.
Notes and Queries


A correspondent writing from Lincolnshire
England, says: Il am told that in the villages
near here confirmation is considered sure cure
for rheumatism, and that, consequently, old
persons are in the habit of presenting them
selves to the bishop, from time to time, as often
as they can get an opportunity. to receive the
rite. The following story was told me lately as
a fact though l cannot be responsible for its
absolute truth. The present Bishop of Lincoln,
knowing of this belief, was on one occasion al
most convinced that he had already lately CON
irmed a certain old man who presented himself
among the candidates, and therefore he sent
Archdeacon X. to ask him, The Archdeacon
went up to him, saying, Have you been con
irmed beforef but the man was deaf, so he had
to repeat his question, adding The Bishop
thinks he has confirmed you before But the
old man was, pretended to be, still unable to
hear so the Archbishop spoke again in louder
tone: The Bishop feels sure that he has con
fiImed you before Then the old man, hearing
at last and being perhaps little notified, re
piled gruffiy Tell un he's lee'er,' with which
unique answer the Archdeacon was forced to be
