Good Stories of a Bishop. Many anecdotes were told of Bishop Williams of Connecticut, after his death, for the good bishop was as well known for his love of fun as for his earnest piety. At a meeting of the bishops a measure was proposed and explained by its orginator. but with such incoherence that nobody understood it. A second speaker essayed to make the matter clear, but only darkened it. When he had finished Bishop Benjamin Smith of Kentucky tried to explain the question and also the explanations. Feeling that he had failed, he said : “Bishop Williams smiles. What has he to say about it?’’ “Only this,” said the old bishop, “that ‘the mess of Benjamin was found to be greater than the mess of any of his brethren. ’ ” “The humor of Dr. Williams,” says a friend, “was always present and ready like the flash of sunlight. It had one peculiarity, it never scorched nor left a scar behind.” At an assemblage of noted men, a lawyer who conducts the legal business of a great railway system tried to “guy the parson” by malicious quizzing. At last he said: “Why don’t you get these railway managers to give you a pass over their roads, bishop? You can pay for it by giving them entrance tickets into heaven. ” “Oh, no!” gently replied the bishop. “I would not part them so far from their counsel in the other world.” The laugh was general, and the lawyer concluded to “let the parson alone. ” The Shape of an AnxvMthetic. It is a Bath physician who tells the following: “Some time ago I happened to spend the night in a country town not far from Bath, and it happened that there was stopping at the same hotel an itinerant eye specialist. “We drifted into a conversation, and during the course of the evening be told me of some of the marvelous operations he had performed on the eye. One case in particular he spoke of that caused me considerable astonishment, for I didn’t know, I confess, that the operation had been successfully performed. He said he had recently taken out a patient’s eye, scraped the back of it and returned it to its proper place. The patient, he said, was never troubled by bad eyesight afterward. “That was a difficult operation, doctor,” said I. “Yes,” said he, “it was.” “I suppose you found it necessary to employ an anaesthetic?” “Yes, I did,” he admitted. “What anaesthetic did you use, doctor?” I persisted. “Oh, well, unless you are familiar with such operations, you probably wouldn’t understand if I were to tell , you. But—well, it was shaped some- i thing like a spoon.” explained the eminent specialist.—Lewiston Journal.
