The total indifference of Mr Morgan iii his latter years to money is well 'illustrated in one story about him (says the Westminster Gazette). Bishop Potter had been spending a Stmday with' him at Highland Falls. He wanted to go early, and he remarked that he would have to take a local train which left a while before supper. "Oh, no," said the financier, "there's a train after that one. Of course you'll stay to supper." "I don't see any train," oh-' jected the Bishop, "and I really must get to town to conduct an evening service." "There's an express," replied his host, disposing of the matter. "I'll have it .stopped for yon." Mr iMorgan drove the Bishop to the station, hut they found the door locked, and the agent gone home for the night. Then the Sound of an approaching train was heard. "Break in the door," said Mr Morgan to his coachman, impitiently, "get a big stone and -smash it." He and his visitor got out of the carriage and lo6ked on; finally the door gave way. Mr Morgan went inside, and after scratching a number of matches found a lantern and lit it. "All right, Bishop,." he called cheerfully, "come ahead,", and lie walked on to the middle of the track and waved the light. The train stopped. The conductor was furious. Mr Morgan told him who he was, but this made no difference, and Mr Morgan paid no more attention to him. "All right, Bishop," lie maid gehtlv, "you get light in the caboose, and ride to New York." Which the Bishop did.
