THE LATEST THINGS In FANS.

the latest are straight sticks, instead Of

beautifully painted. This came as high
as $500. Sticks Of opal pearl are con-

lace fans this year. For ladies in
lighter mourning smoked pearl sticks
covered with black lace, except in the

GEN. GRANTS LETTER TO MR.. CHILDs.

, General GRANTS letter TO his friend
Mr.. Childs, of Philadelphia, will be read
with great pleasure by all who have
shared In or watched the welcome which
has been given him in this country. His
eye took quickly in all that was done in
hearty though simple way to signalize
his arrival in Liverpool, and he dwells
with cordial satisfaction on the kind
ness shown him everywhere in this
country by the people, by the press, and
by persons of official station and g.
nifty. What is still better is that the EX-
President, though plain man, takes
far-see1ng and expansive view of the in
cidents OF which ne mas been the hero,
and attaches to them some reflections on
the cordially between the two nations
which he rightly suppOses his reception
10 symbolze.
Many people in England who are
readiest to acknowledge the military
prowess OF General Grant have fixed
notion that he is a man without large
ideas. This, however, is a rash thing to
predicate OF any American, and General
Grant has shown in his letter TO Mr..
Chllds tnat an eager desire to see his
country known and respected, and q
noble pride in believing it to be so by
nearly all nations, while 1t is by some
duced in his heart by the generous well
come tnat has been accorded to him.
Moreover, the events OF the last twenty
years, ana those of his own public life,
nave not shaken his belief that commerce
makes alike Tor peace and civilization.
The rude rivalry Of battaltons, both in
America and in Europe, which has been
Witnessed since the first great Exhibi-
ton, has made this doctrine unfas shiona-
BILE, but it still mas firm adherents, and
one of them is no other than this great
soldier.
England and the United States, he
says, hould have no jealOusies, because
together they can do more tor commerce
and civilization than all other countries
combined, and because they can, if they
please, create mutual interests to which
war would be 30 detrimental that their
very existence would be safeguard Of
peace. Whether such an idea is practi.
cal or not-and undoubtedly it is to a
large extent practical-General Grants
adhesion to 1T is a substantial fact, and
his way of putting 1t conjures up con-
ception of Anglo Saxon union and
ssaloofness' which 1t would be very
pleasant TO see realized. Unhappily,
the responsibilities of this country as to
peace and war extend too far east TO be
entirely purged of anxiety by a good un-
derstandlng with America, but such an
understanding, made and sustained in
the spirit of General Grants speech,
would leave us few grounds OF serious
apprehension, and would endow us with
great strength and courage liverpool

SINGULAR ExPRRInENr-A "

A SINGULAR ExPRRlMENr.-A very
curious anu remarkable experimenting as
just been tried III India. Mr.. Adams,
OF Bombay, has invented a solar battery
consisting of two hundred small mir
rors, so arranged that they focused the
SUMS rays upon copper boiler, and
generated steam in it in twenty min
utes. Mr.. Adams contends that he
could, by the same means, generate heat
enough to'drive the largest spinning
mill in mbay. The value OF such an
invention in country where the sun
nearly always shines should be i'm.
meuse.
