Some of the citizens of Atlanta on
Wednesday evening met at the Li

James W. English, Chairman of the
Atlanta Campaign Committee in the
late contest as to the location of the
capital, with a handsome token of
their appreciation of his labors in the
cause of Atlanta. The souvenir pre
sented was a massive silver salver
from the house of G. H. Miller A Cos.,
of that city, and one of the hand
somest pieces of ware ever brought
by them to Atlanta. The design
upon the centre was Wisdom (or
Minerva) driving the Chariot of Pro
gress. Ahead of her, in all her pano
plied state, flew winged Mercury,
crying “Onward.” In the rear came
attendant cherubs, one of whom boro
a scroll upon wlich was written
“43,946” as tho official returns. The
owl flew forward over the fiery
steeds. Tho design was a beautiful
one, and fully illustrated the subject
to be commemorated. Underneath
tho chariot was engraved : “Atlanta’s
progress!” “December sth, 1877:
For the capital, Atlanta. Official
majority, 43,940!” “Presented by
his’ friends to Captain James W.
English, Chairman Atlanta Cam
paign Committee.”
CRETAN WOMEN.
[Cretan Correspondence of London Times.]
A Cretan village is a strange look
ing place. All the dwellings are
alike in ugliness, oblong in form,
with walls of rough stone, and flat
roofs, destitute of parapets and chim
neys. One or two arches are thrown
across the length of the cottages to
support tho roofs, which consists of
tenacious clay a few inches deep, laid
on pieces of bark and rolled flat—lot
antiquaries shudder—with the drums
of marble columns. In Askypho the
heavy snow storms which occur there
make it unsafe to carry up tho build
ings higher than one story, and they
certainly ha vea most miserable exte
rior.
But the comfort within doors de
pends at Askypo, as everywhere
else, not on the architect, but on the
lady of the house, and the wives of
Sphakia ran.k high among their sex.
They are conspicuous for their
beauty. Their dark eyes are large
and lustrous, their features are deli
cately chiseled, and waving tresses
fall in profusion from beneath their
modest kerchiefs. Their carriage is
graceful as tho doe’s.
But, though possessed of uncom
mon personal charms, their atten
tion is by no means confined to the
toilet. Everything which their
homes contain is the work of their
band’s jacket and fez of the wool of
the sheep he tends is dyed, spun and
woven by the hands of his faithful
wife. She it is who makes his gar
ments from the cotton plant which
grows before the door; the bright
scarf that binds his waist is from the
silkworm which feeds upon his mul
berry trees; the mats and tapestries
whose bright designs, taken from the
patteen book of tradition alone, give
his home a cheerful air, are the work
of her industrious loom, and many
more objects that I am incompetent
to ennmerato are due to her untiring
labors.
It was these same Sphakian women
who only ten years ago were, with
their helpless children, hunted from
mountain to mountain, outraged and
murdered. In the cottage of my
guide, though the owner was by no
means a chief among the people, the
tablecloth, tho napkins, the sheet?,
all of them home-made, were bor
dered with Cretan lace; the pillow
case was a single piece of the same
rich material; the counterpane was
so gorgeous with many colors that I
did not refrain from expressing my
admiration of it. “Yes,” said my
host; “my wifo is of a very good
family, and knows the old-fashioned
ways of weaving, which her mother
taught her.”
The cottage itself consisted of a
modern-sized room, with a gallery
for sleeping in, and two very small
ones, of which the larger was tho
kitchen. Tho walls were not even
whitewashed, and the floor was of
mud, yet the spirit that reigned
there reconciled one to all. 1 dined
with great zest off English plates,
which are prized as much there as
Japanese crockery is in England, but
without wine, not a drop of which
was to be found in any of the seven
villages—a significant fact. The wife
waited on us, for conjugal respect is
strictly enforced, while even suspect
ed infidelity is punished with death.
It is easy to believe how such a peo
ple hate and despise anyone, be he
calmakam or be he “milordi,” who
attempts to introduce the vices of
Western Europe into their mountain
retreats.
COMPARATIVE VALUE OF WOODS,
It is a great convenience to know
the comparative value of different
kinds of wood for fuel. Shellbark
hickory is regarded as the highest
standard of our forest trees, and call
ing that 100, other trees will compare
with it for real value as fuel for house
purposes as follows: Shell bark hick
ory, 100; pignut hickory, 95; white
oak, 84; whit* ash, 77; (logwood, 75;
scrub oak, 75; white haael, 72; apple
tree, 70; red oak, 67; white beech,
65; black birch, 62; yellow oak, 60;
hard maple, 69; white elm, 58; red
cedar, 58; wild cherry, 55; yellow
pine, 54; chestnut 52, yellow poplar,
51; butternut and white birch, 43;
white pine, 30: It is worth bearing
in mind that in the woods of the
same species there is a great differ
ence, according to the soil on which
they grow. A tree that grows on a
wet, low, rich ground will be less
solid and less durable for fuel, and
therefore of a leas value than a tree
of the same kind that grows on a dry
and poorsoll. To the ordinary pur
chaser oak is oak and pine is pine,
but for home use the tree grown on
dry upland and standing apart from
others is worth a great deal more.
Daniel Sturgeon, of Pennsylvania
one of the three surviving Senators
who served with Henry Clay, Ben
ton, Webster and Wright, spoke so
little that he gained the soubriquet
of “the Silent Senator,” relates the
following incident of Clay and Cal
houn : On one occasion .Calhoun
made a speech in which he was very
severe upon Clay. When he had
finished, the latter went to get a
pinch of snuff from Calhoun, and
having taken it, said, “Your argus
ment was not so strong as voursnuff.”
And thus it was generally in those
days; the asperities of debate were
soon forgotten, and the bitterest po
litical adversaries took snuff togeth
er after tho heat of debate had sub
sided.

ROMAINE GOI,TJ, so extensively worn in Paris, was first discovered in 1870, by the celor
brated t rench Chemist Monsier I), Be Lainge, who manufactured it into jewelry, and l'o
nve years sold it to the leading jewelers ol Paris for Solid Gold, in 1873 when his sceretbe
wl1 ’ , nolt le ‘nanulacturing jewelers established a stock company, with a capital of
VIO,UtU4X)J lor the purpose of manufacturing Koinaine Gold Jewelry and Watches. With
this Immense capital and the aid of improved machinery they are enabled to produce all the la
test patterns ot jewelry at less than one-tenth the cost of solid gold, and of a quality and color
which makes it impossible even for experts to detect it from the genuine.
Wchave secured the exclusive agency of the United States and Canada, for the sale
ol ail goods manufactured I rom tills metal, and in order to introduce them in the most speedy
