In the cell room , where the meats are kept , all the pipes are covered with frost. Time large ships all have Ice machines and male their own Ice There are also two large evaporators , so that If the supply oC drink- Ing ! water should bl lost by a leak , or should In any way become tmnflt for use . drinking water could be made from the sea. The same evaporators could easily supply water In the sammie way for the boilers should that supply run Olt , Two things I should like to change : The tons oC wholesome food , delclols meats amid delicate sweets that are carried mona the delcate tables and thrown Into the sea , I would gIve to the poor steeragers. Every day at dinner , when the lamps' made the main saloon a glare oC light , I could see the e per people peeping In at the windows where the tables were Crelghted with good things , and It made me sad. Sometimes a mother would hold her poor , plnchEd-Caced baby up to the win- dow , anti I couldn't help wondering what answer that mother would make If the baby were to ask why they didn't go In ant cat.

About this time I was havlng a pleasant corresllondenco with Colonel John S. Moaby the partisan leaden who had given the union forces In Virginia a good teal of an- noyance.

Colonel Lowell was a nephew oC James Russell Lowell , amid meeting time latter - ten In Boston 1 few hours after the receipt of the letter . I mentioned It to him , ant at his urgent request promised to send It over to his house on my return to Cam bridge I was detained In Boston a considerable time , and whell I got to lY house I found Lowell extended at full length upon the lounge In my library , and Wison near br , reclining In an oldCashlonet rocltng chair , his feet upon the corer of my writing table , and both so absorbed as scarcely to observe my entrance Lowell was the first to speal Assuming an upright attitude , he said : "Pardon my making so free with I your sanctum , but thc fact Is , Forceythe has been on his high Jinks roaming among the clouds like that old woman who went up on a broomstick. " Wison laughed , saying : "I didn't observe that the trip tool away YOlr breath. " " \Vell , It did ; your high nghts always do. But they are always lnterestltmg.

In 1 few mln- utea a rap came at the front door and hlr- rylng. to It I met Mr. I.ongrelow , When Mr Lowell had given hIm the cuslomary greeting he turned to Wison , saying , "Now I.'orceythe , tel me how you Imew he was on the way lucre.
