Fans, which, half year ago, began
to enlarge aud grow presentious, are
larger and more pretentiou, now than
ever. Some of them measure three
feet from tip to tip, and the indications
are that even these dimensions will be
expanded in the Fall. They are chiefly,
Of white and black silk and satin, With
aspray Of flowers painted ID the left
corner. Those who can afford to fol-
low every passing fashion have q fan
made Of thelcolorsof each coitune but
this is very expensive, and DOT 1t ali
needtul. The fans are suspended by q
fanciful chain from the belt on the
right side and opposite the chatelaine
which now holds card. case, viosigrette,
ports.monDio, umbrella, aud anything
that can possibly be attached. Even
in full.dress these great .vhita fans are
fastened by silver chain to the girdle,
which, on the whole, is good idea, Tor
they are much too big to hold: Z:

NO FRUIT IN COLORADO.

A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker, writing from Denver, says
No frui. is raised in Colorado. Her
people are entirely dependent upon
"tho States" for their supply. - It
comes principally from California, and
is freighted at an enormous cost. It
Often happens that pears, plans, perch:
es and grapes are purchased in =, the
Sacramento market for from two to
four cents per pound and sold in Den
yer at twenty, with 10 profit to the
dealer, on account Of the excessive rate
for transportation and the waste en-
route. Peaches are sometimes from
Salt Lake, and grapes concord and
Catawba) from Kansas, At less cost ;
but the latter do net come into very
successful competition here, With the
California varieties. aud the shipments
are iucousiderabIe.

The Democratic press, from one
end of the country to the other,
demand the resignation or depo'
sition of Secretary Fish. The
trouble with the Democratic press
is that Mr.. Fish has not enbroiled
the country in a war without the
assistance of Congress. Had the
Administration been so hot and
unwise as to precipitate q war with
Spain before the assembling OF
Congress, the Democratic press
could have enjoyed the rare priv
lege of charging upon the head OF
the President C@sarism, despotism,
and violated Constitution, all on
account of the affair of the Virgin
ius. The responsibility of declar-
ing war is placed by the Consti-
Triton in the hands of Congress.

The New York Herald brings
forward many facts to show that
this panic must soon blow over"
1t says:
'.Our banks already afford tokens
of renewing strength we are not
importing scarcely any thing. We
have curtailed our production of
goods and in an equivalent degree
checked the necessity for,additional
Obligations. Anomalous as it may
appear, although every muscle in
the arm of q laboring man has its
money value, the very idledess Of
those muscles il for the 2soment an
indirect and negative force that is
working out a part of the general
result. The suspension of labor
of productive power, whether OF
machinery or men, is at all times
terrible thing; but there newt,
ably follows a contraction OF prices
an augmentation Of the purchas
ing power of money, and-what we
SO much need IN America-the get
ting down to ''bed rock after years

4 Free Ranking Law with Addition
M RS.Nt F1et10mA,

We can see no objection to the
repeal Of that clause OF the bank
ing act which restricts the issuing
of bank currency to three hundred
and fifty-four millions Of dollars.
The national banking system has
proved it's excellency in this storm
as no previous system ever did
Out OF upward of seventeen hun
dred national banks but five or six
have so far succumbed, and these
were chiefly owned by single firms.
We therefore see no valid objection
to the repeal of the restricting
clause, SO that capitalists in every
section of the country may at all
times be enabled to avail themselves
Of the act of incorporation. But
we protest most earnestly, and in
the interests of the banks them
selves, against the relaxation OF q
single safeguard of the present e1-
cellent law. On the contrary, we
are disposed to agree with Senator
Boutwell, that national banks should
be prohibited from paying interest
to depositors.
The present crisis has demon
strated that every provision OF the
/. present law is necessary for the
+: protection of the bill holder and
depositor. Without these provis
ions it will be impossible to revive
and continue the confidence in the
soundness of the banks by the mas
. ses of the people, and should they
loose confidence in the system be-
cause the restrictions for their pro
lection as depositors have beer
swept away, the banks themselve.
will collapse, and capital will seei
other channels of deposit.
