Kimball House bas now become the pro? perty of Dr. Joseph Thompson, tho ve? teran and popular proprietor of the At? lanta Hotel, which once stood on the same spot. It is well suggested by the Atlanta Sun that the old name be re? stored. It says: Now, let those iron letters, "The H. I. Kimball House," which stund in bold relief upon the lintel of tho main porch of the building, be blown oil'. Let that block of marble, high up in the wall of tho State House, with largo sculptured letters in relief-"Kimball's Opera House"-bo taken out und tho cavity ] filled up with bricks. Let tia wipe out the last vestige of tho out-cropping vaui ty, egotism, assumncy and swelled-up importance of H. I. Kimball. He is bloated with a high estimate of his own greutnuss-u characteristic seldom ex? hibited by men who ure truly great. Tho writer of this hus a distiuct re? collection of passing by tho building the day tbut groat irou lintel arrived, and uoticed the name by which the new hotel had beon christened by bim-"The H. I. Kimball House"-in relief in big iron letters, aud ut thu timo called the ntten*iou of a gentleman to it, who made this significant remark: "That man will break; and before two y curs the auc? tioneer's hammer or the sheriff's sword will be swinging over ill" A WANDFJUVO MUTE MADE TO STEAK OUT.-A pretended deaf and dumb man uss been "selling" some of the kind hearted people of Greenville, Ala. Oue sympathetic gentleman was conversing with him in writing when a drunken fellow rode up, and supposing the fellow o be an impos'or, commenced rapping jim severely with his whip. Tho kimi Hearted gentlemun remonstrated, but the leaf mute put u stop to his interference ind shocked him inexpressibly by re narking to bim, solio voca, "Lot him be; f he strikes me uguie, I'll shoot hell out of kim!" . A young Clevelander gallant recently I nade lu J inamorata a present of u bottle ! if perfumo known as "I love you," and t cost him fifty dollars to provo that he ! lid not intend that ns ti ''declaration." The girl produced the empty bottle in son rt , tho jury snuffed the cork, and inod the defendant that amount. JAMES FISK'S OHABTXTBS.-One day a ?ioor, plain, blnnt man. stumbled into fisk's room. Ho said:* "Colonel, I've beard yon ore a g?nerons man, and I've come to ask a favor." "Well, what is it, my good man?" asked Fisk. "I want to go to Lowell, sir, to my wife, and I haven't a oeot of money in the world," said the man in a firm, man? ly voioe. "Where have you been?" asked the Colooel, dropping bis pen. "I don't want to tell you," replied the man, dropping his head. "Out with it, my mau; where have yon been?" said Fisk. "Well, sir, I've been to Sing Sing Stat? Prison." "What for?" "Grand larceny, sir. I was put in for five years, bot was pardoned out yester? day, after staying four years and one half. I am here hungry, and without money." "All right, my man," said Fisk, kind? ly, "yon have a pass, and hero-here are live dollar?. Go and get n meal of vic? tuals and thon ride down to tho boat in a coach like a gentleman. Commence life again, and if you are' honest, and want u lift, oome to me." Perfectly bewildered, the poor conviot took tho money, and iu six months after? wards Fisk got u lettei from him. He was doing a thriving mercantile busi? ness, and said Fisk's kiudoess and cheer ful words give him the first hope-tilt first strong resolve to be a mau. Ten inimit?s after the poor oonvicl left a poor young negro preacher culled "What do you waut? Aro you fron Sine Siug, loo?" uskod Fisk. "No, sir; I'm u Baptist preacher fron Hoboken. I wiuit to go to the Kowari Seminary iu Washington," said? th negro. All light, Brother Johnson," sait Fisk. "Here, Oomer," he said, addressin) his secretary, "Give Brother Johnso twenty dollars aud charge it to charity;' and the Colonel went on writing with out HsteniDg to the stream of thunk from the delighted negro. One day thu Colonel wus walking u Twenty-third street to diao with oue i the Erie directors, when a poor begg? carno ulong. Tho beggar followed aft* them, sayiug, in u plaintive tom "Please givo me u dime, gentlemen?" The gentleman accompanying Fit took out a roll of bills aud comnieuct to unroll them, thinking to tind a half < a quarter. "Here, mau!'' said Fisk, seising tl whole roll aud throwing it ou the sid walk, "take thu pilo." Then looking mto the blank face his friend, he said, "Thutoleration, Sac yon never couut charity, do you?" "But, grout gnus, Colonel, there we $20 in that roll." "Never mind," said Fisk, "then I stand the supper to night." How WASHINGTON WASRGBWOM? Tu BK AK HONEST PENNY.-The Washio ton Patriot furnishes its renders with t tallowing pleasant bit of news: A good many of the negro wushi women of Washington uro "up to soul] whatever that muy mean. They havt way of making double profit off tb customers. lu tho first plaoe, tb oharge "famine prices" for washing, a if their oustomersdo not like the chai the independent female darkies imme ately propose to take the garments 1 their fee. This is one profit. Anotl is of a somewhat different character, possible, these washerwomen will p soade yon into from six to ten days' ti in winch to wash and irou your oloth The job is generally done the first di and then the negro washerwoman hi out to other darkies such garment? they may select for a day or uigl wearing. This system of hiring uxtei to ail portions of the wardrobe of bi sexes, and is curried on very extensiv? A right shrewd darkey often makes this way four or five dollars out of washing, besides tho price she recei from thu party for whom it was done LANGUAGE.-"Who," aays th? Sai day Review, "can enjoy a chut wit mau who always talks of women as tnaloS, and of a mau us au iddividi who never begins a thing, but ulw commences it; who does not choose, elects; who does not help, but facilita who does not supply, but cators; buy, but always purchases; who cal beggar a mendicant; with whom a vaut is always a domostio, where h not a menial; who does not suy i thing, but states it, aud does not c but terminates it; who calls a hom residence, in which he does not live, resides; with whom place is a loca and things do not happen, but t ramj who speaks of persous as parties." The London Daily Telegraph prom ces the claim for indirect damage* ul ly indefensible, inadmissible, und b less.
