Atlanta Journal: “This is a Discs of

"heloug to my wife. Before Queen Anne
died she cut up the magnificent curtain, of
which this is apiece, and divided it among
her maids of honor. One of my wife’s an
cestors was among the number, and from
her It has been handed down.” The curtain,
as shown by the fragment, was haud-em
broidered with scenes from Ovid's Metam
orphoses, aud is covered with dragons,
oentaurs. cupids and such creations of
mythology, Mr. Kraus prizes these relics
very highly.

Mr. Gay led him to where his two pals were
working the shell game. AU three tried to
persuade Mr. Gay to wager his money
against tbe little game, but be was too
■mart for them aud refused to play. The
sharpers, to Bee if the oountryman
had money, offered to bet him $5
that he did not have $lO. Mr. Gay fool
ishly ran his hand in bis pocket and pulled
out a roll of bills amounting to SBOO, and

that Gen. Sumter’s heirs will claim the
property at the expiration of the lease.
The Age of the World,
from the Albany .Express.
Assuming that the average rate of denu
dation in post geological ages did not ma
terially differ from what it is at present,
and that the total quautity of s.ratified
rock would, if uniformly spread over tho
whole globe, form a layer 1,000 feet iu thick
ness, we have a total period of 1,000 multi
plied by 0,000 multiplied by four,or 24,000,000
years. This, however, only represents tbe
time necessary to deposit the robks which
have been formed by denudation from
older rocks and these again from rocks of
still greater antiquity. Assuming that the
existing stratified rocks have thus passed
three times through denudation und de
position, we have a period of 72,000,000
years. Dr. Haughton calculating from the
observed thickness of tho rocks down to the
miocono tertiary, and assuming a period of
b.tilfi years for each foot deposited on the
ocean bed, finds, for the age of the st ati
fied locks a period of 1,526,750,000 years.
Assuming the rate of denundation, however,
as ten times greater in ancient times than
at present, and adding one-third for the
period since the tnioceue tertiary, he arrives
at a final result of 200,000,000 years. Dr.
Croll doubts the validity of Prof.
Haughton’s assumptions, especially the
total thickness he assumes, namely, 177,200
feet, or over thirty-three miles. A. K.Wal
lace, adopting Dr. Houghton's thickness, but
assuming the sediments to be deposited
along a belt of thirty milei wide rouud the
whole coast line of the globe, finds with au
assumed denudation of one foot in 3,1)U0
years a period of 28,000,000 years. This,
however, oa Dr. Croll’s assumption of l-efo.-
mation and denudation repeated several
times, would be merely a fraction of tho
time required. Dr. Croll further shows
from tho evidence cf remarkable “faults”
iu various parts of the world, with • -down
throws” ranging from 3,000 to 20,000 ieet,
the enormous amount of solid rook which
must have been denuded off tho surface of
the earth during the progress of geological
history. He estimates that three miles of
rock have been removed since the beginning
of the old red sandstone. This would indi
cate a period of 45,000,000 years. Assum
ing that tbe period before tho old red sand
stone was equally long we have 90,000,000
years as tha “minimum duration of geo
logical time.” These euormons periods of
time do not, however, seem to sati fy the
demands of the biologists and tbe sup
porters of tbe Darwinian theory. Judging
“irom the fact that almost toe whole of tbe
tertiary period has bean required to oonvert
the ancestral eobippus into true horse,”
Prof. Huxley believes “that in order
to have time for the much greater change
ot the ancestral ungnlata into the two
great odd toed and even toed divisions (of
which change there is no trac3, even amoug
the earliest eocene memmals) we should re
quire a larger portion, if not the whole of
the mesozoic or secondary period,” and still
longer periods ara demanded for the evolu
tion of other animals, “so that on the
lowest estimate we must place the origin of
the mammalia far back in paleozoic times.”
Mr. Wallace speaks of possible periods of
200,000,000 and even 500.U00.000 of years.

PRAISE > THE FRENCH.
The Leader of the Salvation Army In
France and Switzerland Talks.
From the Chicago yews.
La Harechale Booth-Clibbom, who
arrived in Chicago Monday, entertains a
high opinion of Frenchmen as a race.
Her views on the Swiss are not quite so
oompliraentary. Personal experience and
contact with the lower classes of the two
republics is the groundwork of the Mnre
ohale’s opinions. Burke’s celebrated saying
about the ago of chivalry having departed
the loader of the “Armee du Salut" believes
to be too sweeping s > far as France is con
cerned. As to Switzerland, it never had
much chivalry and what little it has is a
skim-milk affair.
The marechale talked of her work among
the French and Swiss at Brigadier Field
ing's borne on Cedar BV9nue last eveulng.
Staff Captain i’oyrcn. who accompanied
the mareohalß from France as secretary,
joined in tbe conversation. Both ladies
have an interesting story to tell.
Commander Ballington Booth of New
York, who esoorted bis sister and her com
panion from Detroit, sat near the door of
tbe little parlor. He is a tremendously en
ergetic officer. When he arrived he .-aluted
Mrs. Fielding with an extemporaneous quo
tation referring to the blessed oil of salva
tion. Then he kused the brigadier’s little
girl, threw off his mackintosh and sat down
to the piano ard dashed into a gospel hymn
with great vivacity.
A TYPICAL EVANGELIST.
La Marechale is a typical evangelist.
Her dress was tbe usual Salvationist uni
form—red blouse and black skirt with the
ancient poke bonnet which suggests tbe
quakeress. The famous salvation leader is
above the middle bight, with clear-cut Eng
lish features. Shu looked pale and tired,
acd complained of fatigue.
Ten years among the Froncli has given
the marochale’s s rongly marked London
speech just a shade or two of foreign ac
cent. She has dark hair, which was worn
in a long single plait. Her eyes are brown
and large, and shine with great earnestness
when the marechale discourses on the Sal
vation Army in France.
Mi have been in America almost three
weeks,” said she, "and have been most
courteously treated everywhere we have
visited.
“My work in France has been but partly
successful because of our poverty.”
POLITE AND GALLANT TO WOMEN.
Commander Bail in?ton Booth joined in
the conversation aid raid that tha remark
about poverty was, of course, strictly priv
ate. Ija Marechale brignieued up and re
plied that she meuut nothing but poverty
plain, every-day poverty—and she desired
the pr.blio to thoroughly understand it.
Staff Captain Feyron was appealed to and
she confirmed wbac her leader uad said.
"Our work in France,” continued La
Marocdala, "ha' beeu pleasant in many re
spects. The French are so polite and gal
lant to women. When we would go into
the cafes in the Belleville district, among
the very lowest class of work-people, every
hat would be removed, pipes laid on the
table and what we had to say listened to re
spectfully.
"Ah! there is a groat difference between
the French and Swiss in this respect. In
stead of politeness and deference, suoh as
women receive in France, coarse violence
19 used and women are knocked down aud
brutally kicked. And then the French
are so quick to grasp ideas; they are like
the Americans iu that respect. The Swiss
are slow aud dislike to bo bothered with
religious matters. We had an ex-oom
mu.iard in the army. He had been au in
fidel. He was a remarkably eloquent man.
He is now dead. French players, too, are
so earnest. They seem odd to English oars.
One I remember was like this:
" ‘O, God—if you exist, save my soul —If
I have got one!' ”
IN A SWISS PRISON,
La Marachale was iu prison for several
weens at Neuchatel in Switzerland, because
she persisted iu preachiug. In France she
declared that not a single member of the
armv htd ever been sent to jail or perse
cuted in any way.
Xt)e looal officers of the army gave an en
thusiastic reception to La Marecbale Booth-
Clibborn and her party. On the way a
short stop was made at the Twenty-second
street station. There a number of friends
were waiting and the first welcome to Chi
cago was given. Two hours later, when the
visitors reached the Illinois Central depot on
Lake street, they were met by a baud and 300
uniformed soldiers and escorted to tbe Van
Buren street depot. Brigadier Fielding was
in oomtuaud and his soldiers shouted and
cheered though the rain fell iu torrents.
Bifore leaving for Cedar avenue, Com
mander liallington Booth spoke to the
crowd in the depot. There was more cheer
ing, a number of hearty amens were given
and tho soldiers marched away after firing
a regulation volley.
