We are assured from London that The
Mystery of Edwin brood" has been left I'M
finished by Mr.. Dickens, but with ample notes
for the concluding parts. This is melancholy
intelligence for the lovers of Dickens, but they
will hardly fail to smile at the absurdity of
the accompanying announcement that to COM
plete it will be an easy task for another hand.
The other hand" which it is said is to finish
the story is Mr.. Wilkie Collins. We do not
believe that Mr.. Collins will attempt task 80
dangerous to his own reputation, or fail to
recognize that the original notes of Mr.. Dick
ems will be far more valued by his admirers
than their most finished elaboration by any
other hand"

or FANS


We had not supposed this par excellence, to
be the Age of Fans. We should rather have
referred the great glories of those feminine
weapons to the time of Addison for the Fan
plays highly dgnified part in The Spectator,
and many are the fine concets and delicate
satires upon the sex to which in that admira-
BILE work it gives rise. Originally employed as
a refrigerator in the hands of fine women,
the Fan at last knded unreasonable and
inextinguishable fires in the bosom of signing
man. From behind it masked battery of
mischievous gances played, and fusilade of
ogles was kept up; its flutterings showed to
perfection the beauty of the delicatey
arm and it strategically served to prevent an
untimely disclosure of cOnsenting bushes.
For though blush behind my Fan.
Tomorrow I'll be thine"
Who has forgotten that Fine Lady of Ho-
garth, in the Mad House print, simpering with
affected modesty at the naked lunatic7 How
many blots there would be in the matchless
works of that great master if all the Fans
were scraped out. In France, during the viz
tuous reign of the two Louis of the King who
was "Ihe State" and of the Fifteenth royal
gentleman of the name who was nothing, not
even "Tbe State" great painters, Boucher,
Vatican, Greuze, and the like, did not disdain
to lend the giories of their art to the adOrn-
ment of the Fans of the Royal Mistresses, plac-
ing thereon in glowing cOlors all manner of
cupids shepherdesses, blithe fawns, fine ladies,
gallant chevalers, all dsporting themselves in
:" the voluptuOus vagueness of the landscape"
These were admirable toys for the Du Barry
race of women, who gaily danced unfortunate
France into that other rather reckless dance
known as The Revolution. ...
But when we began to write about Fans,
we did not design to give a monogram, his
torically exhaustive, but were mainly impelled
by two considerations. In the first place, the
weather is, or should be, hot, and Fans, chiefly
the practical and substantial bamboo, are in
demand Punch, in an early number, men
tons in his Court Newsr that Lady of
Honor famed herself for two hours, and
afterward declared that it was the hottest
day of the season y and now it is that we
have great many hottest days of the season.
and do glow and tlutter our Fans accordingly.

the privacy of the domestic circle, at church,
and at the Jubilee. But to come to the point.
There was held in London, about the close of
May, Great Exhibition of Fans. This is an
age of shows-Heaven forbid that we should
call IL an age of shams land If we have
shows OF babies, pumpkins and other fat cattle,
OF poodlcs and pigeons and other wild fowl,
OF dogs aud ROSTERS and other tame birds, of
steam engines, of pictures, oxen and such like
miracles-why should there not he an Ex-

1t is intimated from Washington that the
House will admit Mr.. Whittemore to seat
on the technical ground that, though it unan-
imously believed and voted him to be a scamp
unworthy his seat and guilty of acts that
should send him to the Penitentiary, it did
not actually expel him, but allowed him to
resign. Are we to understand that if an
offender has the ingenuity to escape kicking
by fight, his offense is therefore less fragrant I
Is it really true in theory, as we sometimes
have found it in practice, that the escape of
an acknowledged criminal condones the crime 7
By such ruling, for such a reason, the House
will add no virtue to Mr.. Whttemore and no
credit to itself.

TILE NER ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

The nomination of Mr.. Alderman for the
Attorney Generalship means the recognition OF
Georgia as a State il tho Union, in spite OF
the persistent efforts of factions in and out of
Congress to befog her true condition
and postpone the day of her de-
liverance 1t means the recognition
of the best Union men of Georgia, those long
est identified with the fortunes of the State,
who most heartily accepted the results of the
war, and have most honestly and faithfully
endeavored to repair its breaches. 1t means
the recognition of Twelve Millions of our
COuntrymen. They went in, or were swept
in to a war which left them defeated and
| desoate they have, after frank and manly
submission, been too long treated IA if they
were to be forever excluded from trust, were
| to be taught that they really were and were
| to remain without Country they are at
last shown in the most signal way that the
Government they sought to overthrow is
magnanimous enough to forgive and strong
enough to trust, wherever it finds the forgive
ness accepted or the trust deserved.
We do, therefore, most cordially and
heartily approve this nomination. We do not
mean to say that Mr.. Alderman is a great
statesman we do say that he has a
better record since 1865 than have some
of the men who are now higgling at Wash
ington over the fact that his petition for
pardon states that he voluntarily entered the
Rebel service. We refuse to believe that
Senators can intend any serious resistance
to the patriotic and sagacious action of
the President in this matter He has
done wise and timely thing, which
will strengthen his Cabinet and make it better
representative of the whole Country. We
hope for Mr.. Ackerman's prompt and unani-
nous confirmation!

Mr.. Goodwin Smith is an English Liberal,
who at home signalized his devotion to Ameri-
can ideas and his friendship for the North, in
the most arstocratic, exclusive, and hostile
circles of English sOciety-thOse of Oxford
University Mr.. Benjamin Disraeli is an En-
glsb Tory of that worst sort, a Tory who
does Mt believe in it,-a man for whom his
best friends have never claimed the possession
of a single principle save success, or belief in
any person or anything save Disraei. In the
course of the combat for liberal ideas in En-
gland Mr.. Smith had frequent occasion to deal
powerful blows at the slippery, hooking leader
of the Tories, in fair public discussion, on his
own ground. Mr.. Disraeli retOrts by sneering
at him across the Atlantic as Social Para
" site" AT the time the sneer is uttered the
" Social Parasite" having voluntarily resigned
his eligible Professorship in the aristocratic
University in his own country, is giving his
gratuitOus services TO build up more generous
Seminary for wider and freer culture in ours.
But the witt of the Trickster is exulted over

organization will compel the introduction OF
innumerable others by manufacturers Id all
parts of the State. 1t is organization against
organization, and when it comes to that the
result can be easily foretod. The WiseSt
course for the Crispins is to recognize that
their organization in the present, as I'D the
past, is a cumbersome, expensive and useless
one. which unnecessarily makes war only TO
succumb. When it forces, by too persistent
aggressions, the adoption of such defensive
measures as the North Adams manufactures
has inaugnrated, it will endanger its existence
and effect the ruin of its thoughtless supporters.

The action of the House on the Cuban ques-
ton displeases some of its critics almost as
much as its previous failure to act. They were
very unhappy at first because of Grants
shameless sympathy with this filibuster war
in Cuba; they were equally unhappy next with
his audacious message to Congress against this
flibuster war in Cuba they are yet more I'M
happy now that the House has authorized and
substantially instructed him to seek to miti-
gate the horrors of this ilibuster war in Cuba.
In fact, their capacity for continued unhappi-
ness about it would be quite incomprehensible,
if we did not remember that they are the same
critics who screamed themselves hOarse last
Winter in bombastic denunciation of the Ring,
and then meekly accepted the Rings yoke,
supported its candidates, and defended the
4" shameless and cunning frauds they had so
lately denounced.

The Sanitary Committee of the Board OF
Health yesterday made thorough inspection
of the fat-melting establishments which affiict
this city. We hope this inspection has con-
verted the Committee to the general belief
that the only remedy for the evils so miver-
sally complained of is to drive away the fat
meters altogether. The Board of Health has
been pelting them with tufts of grass for two
years, and ought by this time to be convinced
of the necessity of resort to stones.

We are still further encouraged about the
bill to abolish the Franking Privilege. The
seventeen members who were bold enough to
take ground against the repeal are reduced to
eleven, and on the final call of the yeas and
nays on the direct question will doubtless be
fewer STILL The proposition to continue the
privilege to Executive officers was defeated by
the votes of fOrty-two members, who evidently
desire, with the public, that the abuse shall be
wholly reformed We are almost tempted to
doubt no longer the final success of the bill.

America. The Holland Minister has de-
manded his passports from the Venezuelan
Dictator, Guzman BlancO, in consequence OF
the seizure of Dutch mail-steamer as
already announced. The conflict under any

one. A more serious announcement TO

The nomination of the Hon. William ID.
Kelley for the sixth term as Representative OF
the WITH District of Pennsylvania is cause for
public congratulation. Mr. Kelley has served
his constituents with marked ability and fidelity
since 1861 and thinking that the had done his
fair share of public duty, has been of late in
clined to retire to private life and to the bet
ter care of his personal affairs. We are glad
to learn that he consents to continue for an
other term at least in the service for which he
has shown such fitness.

The refusal of the Third-ave Railroad Company
to help the detectives in Kidding their line of pick

fact that their route has for years been the most no

Of thieves. How faithfully they carry out their
principle that passengers must look out for them

The bloody and malignant TRIBUNE is the
object of certain whitening observations when
have fallen from the lips of The Chicago Times
Speaking of recent collection of specimens
and criticisms of living Southern writer's we
condemned the false literary standards which
seem to be mostly followed at the South, and
asked what could be expected of literature
in which Mrs. SOuthwOrtb Augusta j. Evans,
and Harry Flash were accepted as the chief
of the Immortals? The Times, after mildly
stigmatizing this question as " an unpardon-
liable piece of downright lying wants to
know what we mean by ignoring the genius
of William Gilmore Simms, Madame LIE Vert,
John Esten Cooke, John r. Thompson, Paul
H. Hayne and Adelaide ChaudrOn As it was
not in our way to speak of them at all, our
purpose being to comment upon the bad
models which the new school of Southern
writer's are inclined to copy, we need not stop
TO examine the claims of these ladies and
gentlemen to literary distinction, clever as
some of them are; but we cannot fOrbear word
about few other stars which The Times charges
us with striking out of the Southern heavens.
1t is almost incredible, but our Chicago critic
places among the famous writers of the South
n. p. Willis, because he once wrote for
Southern magazine; Donald G.. Mitchell "a
thorough Yankee, because he wrote book
during a visit to South Carolina Mrs. MOwatt,
because her second husband is a Virginian
James Fenimore Cooper, heaven knows why
and-bless the mark, our old editorial asso-
ciate Richard Hildreth because he once passed
eighteen months in a Southern State for the
benefit of his health, and employed the time
in writing an anti-Savery novel; care The
TRIBUNE slashers," asks The Times, utterly
Ignorant of 'IIdreth, the national historian,
"whose place has not been filled by Bancroft,
nor any other?" No; not utterly Ignorant.
But the Chicago slashers seem to be.

Aoes7 That is what they have been having I'D
T.ondon If will be snuff-bOxes next, possibly;
but a very interesting show might be made OF
snuf-boxes, of boots and shoes, OF breeches
and gowns; and we confess that we should IKE
to see-being ourselves inveterate sh0w-goers
an exhibition of one of every KIND OF paper
collar which the ingenuity OF Manufacturing
man has devised, although for such display
quite Coliseum of Hall would be required
But the Fan Exhibition in London had SOL
idly practical purpose. 1t was under the aus
pices of the Society for Promoting the Art In
struction of Women, which does not mean the
instruction of women in the artful, since that
would be unnecessary The object of the
Association is to help women to become adopts
in the making of beautiful things Of every
description, that thereby they may win their
daily bread-a very laudable object, we en-
Enthusiastically confess Women can make Fans.
Therefore there should be an Exhibition OF
Fans with premiums Therefore there has
been such an Exhibition. Everybody having
rare or curious or beautiful Fan wos bes0ught
to loan it for the occasion Tie response was
general and hearty. Her Majesty, for instance,
sent seventeen. Duches5es and COuntesses and
all descriptions of nobility sent profusely.
From France Jeanne many enchanting
specimens duly catalogued-caved stick
by this artist, painting by that, "pro-
" duced for the marriage of the Countess
&" of Paris" or produced by NJ. Provost for the
marriage of Her Royal Highness Madame la
"Duchesse d'0reans," &C., &C., &c. The En-
press of France sent thirty-fo specimens,
gorgeous in gliding painting, and jeweling; and
among them ga stick said to have belonged
to n Fan of Madame Ia Marquise de Pompa-
"dour.n This last relic coming from the En-
press Eugene, might give rise to four columns
of profound philosophical reflectiOn-but we
forbear Perhaps such a collection OF exquisite,
costly, and glittering toys was never made be-
fore.
The passion of mankind (and of womanklnd)
for expensive and beautiful things, which to the
utilitarian are az the small dust in the balance,
is one which has put money into the pockets OF
great many ingenious but hungry people.
We might mournfully urge that if all the skill
which has been expended in the production OF
these articles had been turned in practical and
prosaic direction, the wealth of the world would
have been the gamer, and perhaps the wants or
the world would have been less. But, again
we forbear-merely observing that if we must
have luxury, it is well to make its whims, and
caplices and ostentation the servants of labor.
