FANs.-Fans arc the cheapest luxury OF the
day. The Chinese have given Us an article
we'll made Of bamboo and cmbellislled paper,
that may be had for two rickes. When the
cost of importation is considered, the pay oil
labor 10 China is apparent. Fans are ssld to
have originated 10 China 5000 years age. At
feast of lanterns tho lovely kansl found inc
heat so oppressive that, contrary 10 all cu,
ouette, she took off her mask. Partly to hldc
her bushes. and partly to cool her heated i 1
sho apitated the mask before her nose. Inc
thing became epidemic. Ten thousand hanas
at once held ten thousand masks. and ianninG
became isct. The fan was used as STANDARD
in war, and in peace the fan assisted the priests
in tho temple, both to raise cooling breeze
and to guard the sacred offerings from the con-
tamiuatlon of noxous insects. 10 Egypt inc
fan of the priest of Isis was made Of feathers
Of different lengths, spread out 10 the form OF
semicirce, but pointed at the top. IL was
waved by female slave. Among the Romans
slaves cooled the room and kept away lies
during meal time with fans. 10 the days OF
louis XIV. and XIV. fans glistencd with
gliding and gems, and were ornamentedd bS
boucher and Vatican. These works OF, art
were often sold at as high figure as SO. Ihe
Chinese and French ore The. great rivals IN ian
making. TO such degree OF excellence has II
arrived in France that fan selling TOR one cen
goes through twenty different operations, per
formed by as many pairs OF hands.

The Washington Post says: "The fate OF
Kseedosla, daughter of Aaron Burr and wife
oE Joseph Aston, of South Carolina, has
aawRys been q mystery. The vessel In which
Mrs Alaton embarked for New York proba-
hAY foundered at sea-
Nany years ago there was story going
Ehe rounds Of the press, how true 1t was, we
10 not know, that the vessel on which Mrs.
hGston took passage was captured by pirates,
cine passengers and crew being all compelled
90 walk the plank" This story, we believe,
waH based on the confession of q criminal,
tasaie ON the scaffold as he was about to ex-
plate some dreadful crime with his life, that
ae was one of the pirates who had captured
aad sunk the ship, and had seen Mrs. Alston
dlle. This version was generally accepted at
aAlo time and added novel and tragic inter-
@ss to the fate of this lady, whose wonderful
aHtellect and SURPRISING beauty had won her
"a more than national fame.

Municipal reform is not altogether UNI
hnown Notwithstanding all the jokes of the
RFess 10 the contrary. Two cities have re-
eEntly determined to considerably reduce the
ray Of their of1lcials-New York and St.
Louis. In New York this reform was done
~ the State Legislature, and the city officials
did not take to 1t very kindly; in st. Louis,
however. 1t was the City Council itself which
ordered the reduction and cut down salaries,
aheir own included, so low that the citizens
objected and protested. These are the only
eases of the kind yet discovered, so that 1t
can scarcely be considered that reform is
rampant just yet. Salaries are now three
aimes as high as before the war; prices rs per
cent lower, SO that the officeholders are really
waid four times as well as in ante-bellum
days. The price of all kinds Of labor has
Eoen reduced from % to rs per cent in the
past half dozen years. Why not reduce the
Kay of oificeholding labor as well as that Of
20ochanics and laborers2

The executive committee of the National
E0rty met at Washington last week to con-
asler the party's prospects at the coming
election. According to this committee the
outlook for the new party Is most promising
Indeed IT was reported that Chicago and
indianapolis would probably be carried by
che new party; that Ohio looked hopeful;
that In Pennsylvania the party.was prosper
esis; New York was well organized; that Tole-
do had just been carried against the two old
parties; that the party had began to organize
10 the South at New Orleans, and in Alabama
and Texas, and that in the latter State in par
Ocular it showed unexpected and extraor-
binary strength; and lastly, that 1t was MAX
ing extraordinary progress in Rhode Island
and Connecticut Altogether, If these Ma
sionalists are to be believed, they are going
