Six railway passengers were put oft'at a Junction to wait for a cross line train. The little depot was the only building in sight, and the man in charge of it was not a tele graph operator. He- simply kept the station-house and flagged the trains, and lie was no more responsi ble for tliu runningoft rains than the Tycoon of Japan. Every one of tlio six realized this, and yet it wasn't over two minutes before one of l.ln* passengers appr-vichel him and asked: ‘‘Is that train on time?” "I guess so." “You guess so! Don't you know?" “No sir.” “You don't, eh? Then how do you know it isn’t an hour late?” “1 don’t." “Don't, eh?

He had a civil answer for every question, and his patience never wavered until just four minutes be- fore train time. Then the old wom an said to him for the twentieth time: -I In y train'?” •I hope mil,” lie quietly replied, “if you do I .shall take to the woods!” And at that the six passengers gathered on the end of the platform, went into convention, and it was “Unsolved, That the arrogance and impudence ol the public ser vants must he mi.

Cincinnati, December 15.—To day tlie floral ship presented by the business men of this city to the managers of the Atlanta Exposi tion was received in charge of a party of ladies and gentlemen of Atlanta, not as a floral ship, hut freighted with Southern products. A formal reception was held. The Chamber of Commerce was beauti fully decorated with flags, and the go id ship, represented as floating in a sea ol-Spanish moss, was plac ed in front of the speaker's stand. Its sheathing was of cotton, and it was profusely burdened with all manner of Southern products. The body of the hall was lilted with la dies and gentlemen. The Atlanta deputation was es- eorted into the hall by a hand play ing “Dixie" amid applause, which was rencwcdjwlien the hand play ed nliail Columbia." Speeches were made by Mayor Means, Wil liam Harvey, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and S. E. Covington, president of the Ilorad ol Trade Transportation, welcom ing Hie Atlanta visitors. Major Cummings, of Atlanta, introduced Sainiil W. Small, Atlanta, who rcspmised gracefully.
