A Cokfidsncb Game.—An aged gentleman; representing himself as an slab ami ah-.* Wtjpt ’to police head-, quarters yesterday about r;oon and reported the Station-House Keeper Haynes the loss of two hundred and fifty dollWtfc.' The Gentleman, who declined to give his nane : and whe seem* to be ignorant ol the ’wicked ways of the world, says that about tan o’clock in the morning two men approached calling him by name *xpresie4 great * pleasure at meeting him in* Atlanta. They asked him about his home, his bus iness his family, and seemed thor oughly acquainted with him and all his interest, but for the life of him he could not recall them. Howev er one #1 the strangers succeeded in recalling himself to the aged gen tleman’s mind, and then the three began a promenade, which lasted for an hour pr so, after which they repaired to the car shed. While st&ndjng in front of the ladies’ sa loon discussing the relative merits of Alabama and Georgia a man ap proached them and presented one of the young men with a bill for SI,OOO. the amonnt of his purchases from a dry goods house in this city. The person to whom the bill was presented drew out his pocket-book and took therefrom five hundred dollars. He then turned to his yonng companion and said : “I have only five hundred dollars. Let me have as much more and I will re turn it as soon aa I get this check eashed?” “Certaiely was the reply, as the man drew his purse, but in it only two hundred and fifty dol lars were found. “I have not so much,” suid he, “but taka this.” Then turning to tho old ge-ntlenan who had been quietly looking on, the man to whon th§ bill had been presented, said: “Let me have two hundred and fifty dollars to pay for these goods, and I will return it as soon as we can reach a bank.” The old gentleman quickly put his hand in his pocket and pulled forth a pocket-bcok well filled with bank bills and handed his Alabama friend five fifties, which were given the person who presented tbo bill.

What more could any one ask ? A PLEASANT SURPRISE. J •' -t ._ ; MR. AND MRS. KIMBALL BECOME THE RECIPIENTS OF A PRESENT. At 3 o’clock yesterday evening while Director General Kimball was as usual “up to his ears” in business Mr* Otis, of the J. & P Coats’s exhibit, stepped into Mr. Kimdall’s office and iuformed him that his presence was demanded instantly in the the president’s room. With very little delay the director general repaired thither wheie a most plea sant surprise met him. Mrs. kimball, was upon the ground and she too had been unceremoniously summon ed. Upon thhe table in the centre of the room was a beautilful -silver service of nine pieces with a card bearing the doners name* : Before the director-general had been giving time to fully understand the situation, Major'Moses Gibson of Louisville, addressing Mr. and Mrs. Kimball, said: Upon me has devolved the pleas ant duty of presenting to y’ou this beard i HI tribute; from those whose accompany the gift. In’ you, At, we recognize the loading spirit in the of the this grand aggregation of the results of American gssious. To you, sir, be longs the honor of gathering here from all parts of the United States, and placing on exhibition this wonderful display of minerals, wood mchanism and machinery and of uniting nnder one roof the kSH of the north And iodth to hatle for the prize* ofmanA Wif are Irero tu dispel this prejudiceFdf the second Volume of southern' history) and let me assure you thiat in its pages the energy, orginating and organizing ability of the Hon. H. I. Kimball will have a most conspicu ous place, and I can asiura you from the I reprent that we believe you will rectiv it from yeur eity, your state and the country. Let us extend to Mrs Kimball our beet Wishes and heartfelt greeting recognizing in her the truest tlpe of American womanhood. To-day we are surrounded by two of the greatest civilizeers of the world’s history, the religion of Jesus Christ and the mtchaical invention of the 19th century. They gq hand |n conquer the vice of life and to ben efit the human race. Thier victories are more numerors and lasting than those of the greatest conqeurors whoso name are emblazoned on the pages of history. These twin cham tion hays gipen to roman her true position, the same almighty creator inteded her to occupy, wjien our mother Eve was placed in paradise as the helpmate and compan ion of Adam, and not as she since has been made :by too many—thier diuge and slave. To Anglo Sa:son women belong the honor of elevat- aud refining the manhood of Eu rope and America . By love and endearing influences they haov so changed his nature as to mark a new era in the history of the world Where wars, crime and devastation marked his ambition, by her in. fluenee to-day happy homes, mon ufactories, and thier attendant blessing are seen in every hillside. Is there a man in this audience who wili not indorse every word I have said of women? Not one. Is there one aomng U3 who will r. r t> j ; s mother and sisters tks Vfradit of ail the honors he has achieved, sndyril! not pay them the !.’h)ui ") of his being able to claim •ho proud privilege of having been c : -id in the image of God. In ing you far; rrellj lt me thank you again for the debt we owe you, and pray that the future of you and youra may be crowned with abun dant success. At the close of Mr. Gibson’s re marks Mr. Kimball responded in a feeling manner. Although taken by surprise he was able to express in fitting terms the high valuation who had made him n |acfa*p iU.. present, and stated that pother wonld ever be mere.appreciated arifi prized by him than thWtJie J of that esteem.
