BISHOP'S PYJAMAS.

RAILWAYS GOT THEM. BORROWED RECTOR'S. LONDON, October 21. Bishop Long, of Ba! hurst, has been intimately acquainted with the railways for 14 years, and he thought he know Ihoin he told a. gathering of parishioners at Dnbbo. But he had Dover suspected thow of successive zeal.

"When I had taken my seat in the train at Bathurst," he said, "I was tiold that a. lady in another compartment wished to see me. When I returned I found my luggage missing. At Perthviltp, when I asked about it, 1 was told it was all right—just locked safely away—and. to carry on. So I carried on. Some official evidently came to the carriage, and, finding 1 the luggage unattended, said, "Well, now, the absent-minded Bishop Long, has gone, leaving his luggage behind." "The railway officers aro so filled with solicitude for thosa who use their service that they look after both themselves anj their luggage. So if I appear in strange garments before you you know why, "If you only could have seen me the night before ut thu rectory! They wer e making lightning sketches of me in the rector's pyjamas. Then I made a sketch of myself with the rector's razor, of which you have visible evidence in the sundry gashes on my face. In the end, after ninth trying on, T got garments which enabled me to carry on with dignity, at leapt within, if not without."
