Fans.

The manufacture of fans is an impor-
tant branch of industry in Japan; and
no fewer than 5000, 1000 fans, valued at
$4,000, have been exported from those
ports in one year. Osaka is the prin-
cipal city for manufacture of the ogi,
or folding fans, which are those almost
exclusively exported, all descriptions
of the bamboo kind being made there,
the figures, writing, etc, being execut-
ed in Kiyoto. The principle of
division of labor is carried out long
way in this branch of industry. The
bamboo ribs of the fans are made by
private people in their own houses,
and combinations of the various
notches cut in the lower part are left to
one of the finishing workmen, who
forms the various patterns of the han
dies according to plans prepared by the
designer. In like manner, the designer
gives out to the engravers the patterns
that he thinks will be salable, and, when
the blocks have been cut, decides what
colors are to be used for each part of the
design, and what different sheets are to
be used for the opposite sides of each
fan. When these sheets with the sets of
bamboo slips which are to form the ribs
have been handed yer to the workmen,
he, in the first instance, folds them so
that they will retain the crease. This is
done by putting them between two
pieces of heavily-oiled paper, which are
properly creased. The fans are then
folded up together and placed under
pressure. When sufficient time has
elapsed, the sheets are t out and the
molds used again, the .sed sheets
being packed up for ast twenty
four hours in their fc ). The ribs,
which are temporarily arranged in order
ON wire, are then taken and set into
their places ON one of the sheets after
it has been spread out on a block and
pasted. A dash of paste then gives the
woodwork adhesive powers, and that
part of the process is finished by affix-
ing the remaining piece of paper. The
fan is folded up and opened three or
four times before the folds get into
proper shape, and by the time it is put
by to dry it has received an amount of
handling Japanese paper alone would
endure. When the insides are dry, the
riveting of the pieces together (includ-
ing the outer covering) is rapidly done +;
and dash of varnish quickly finishes
the fan.-PaU Mall Gazette.

Monopoly convention. The General is
still ready to receive other nominations
as fast as they are rendered. and he no

tender them any too soon or too often.

Legislative Notes.

The fish commission bill has passed
the council, and will probably be dealt
with in the same manner by the house.
The Laramie city charter bill is max
ing its way along pretty fast under the
superintendency Of Fl. v. S. Groesbeck.
The railroad bond bill, has been re-
ferred to a select committee in the
council, and iJ is hard to predict when
it will make its temperance.
Notwithstanding, the hurrah and ex-
citement which kept the city in an up
roar nearly all day yesterday, the legis-
lature was hard at work and disposed
of a large amount of business.
What there was left of the substitute
for the Maverick bill after the terrible
mutilation, which it received the day
before, it passed the house yesterday
without opposition. Speaker Jones re-
ferred it to the committee for the pur-
dose of being re-engrossed.
Hon. j. w. Gray, of Laramie city, is
the youngest member OF the council,
and yet as a presiding officer in com
mittee of the whole, he probably has
not a superior in either branch of the
legislature. The same can also be said
of Hon. N. N. Craig, of this city, ex-
cept perhaps that he is not the youngest
member Of the house.
Mr.. Johnathan Pugh, the Waterman
of the house of representatives, is a
brother Of the late Hon. George E.
Pugh, formerly United Estates senator
from Ohio, and is a gentleman with
quite a history. He is about 6fty-hve
years of age, very intelligent and well
posted, especially in regard to the af-
fairs of this territory, having resided
in the same for many years, and even
before its organization as a territory In
1868. He has for a good many years
resided near Fort Washikie, (formeraly
Fort Brown which is about 1876 miles
north Green river, in Sweerwater coun-
ty, where he owns n OF the finest
ranches in that region Of the country,
and was the original discoverer OF the
valuable mine rear that place. He
tells of the dark and dangerous times
that he experienced there years ago and
how he used to have to hire men and
pay them S12 per day, to stand guard
and protect him and his workmen while
engaged in working his mines. Many
an isolated miner. trapper and hunter
met his doom at the hands of the Shos-
homes and Arapahoes in the ~Sweetwater
valley in those early days. Though not
what might be termed an educated man
yet he is possessed of a remarkable gift
In the way of judging men as to their
abilities and qualifications. He has
had many ups and downs in life,
wealthy at times, unfortunate at others,
but is now comfortly situated, leading
a quiet and peaceful life in his frontier
home which has been his abiding place
for 80 many years.
