An odd and pretty fan is of brocaded velvet in palm-leaf design, and is finished with tips of peacock feathers. Beige, ligkt woolen serge aad light camel's hair cloths are materials in demand for making the traveling costume.

Tke Queen Anne sacque is a favor ite novelty with ladies of artistic tastes who delight in bric-a-brac, Queen Anne furniture, etc. English dress-makers are using garnet maroon and blue sateen for walkingskirts. The overdresses of these costumes are made of pekin. Mountain dresses for yonng girls have single skirts, plain in front and kilt-pleated behind, and trimmed with three rows of white braid. Bretonne lace dresses are an entirely new development of fashion, and will probably be as popular as they arc chaste, airy and graceful. Few very fine real lace mantles are imported now, as the shapes change so frequently that ladies are not willing to buy very expensive ones. Coarse torchon lace and woven Russian lace are extensively employed in trimming costumes of zephyr cloth, satine, and other wash fabrics. The latest parasols are of India pongee, embroidered in parti-colored sprigs, on the ground, and a garland border. They are mounted on a rattan stick. Tke new silk gloves, with long, open-worked wrists, are tke novelty, and will be muck sougkt after during the reign of the snort sleeve now so fashionable.

They are bound and strapped with soft calfskin or Russia leather, and finished witk a handle and buckles. Shawls of colored thread worea in shell patterns are light and cool for morning wear in the summer. They are large squares finished witk fringe, and are found in amber, pahs blue, rose and white. They cost $3.60. After so long a run of oklp and heavy braids, the reappearance of the Neapolitan braid bonnets is refreshing. As yet they are very scarce in tke market and rank among the daintiest and most elegant of millinery features. Tee popular dust-proof traveling cloak is a modification of tke " Ulster,71 of steel-gray mohair. It is slightly fitted in tke back, with tke front loose, and in some models a deep circular cape is set in witk tke side-seams of the back, aad the garment called " Ulster Dolman."

A novelty this summer known as tke Spanish long shawl is really a scarf, three ards long and about three-fourths of a yard deep, made of either black or white Spanish lace. It is to be wora as a coiffure at tke watering places. Tke middle of the scarf is thrown over tke head, one long end is caught ap oa oae arm and the other hangs to the foot of the dress.

DEPUTY MARSHALS.
The Ui-Mtt Kitdtoal Kfceme fr Flitadorlac I the TrMMHry far rwlbM Mtwtloa fwr. Xew York Sun. t T Intra are two clam ot Deputy Marshals, known respectively as General and peil, the former being regularly atUeeed to tbe Marshal's office, anil the latter anneiated. s the name implies, for pelal servies. Tae law nukes no limitation aste the number of these deputleo, aid therefore a Mrtioeu Manual, nusUlned or directed by a Fraudulent Administration like the preseat, or by an extreme partisan President, regardless of decency, like Grant, could appoint whatever number might be needed to earry an election In any particular place, where tble force could be concentrated. They receive Ave dollars a day ease when employed, but they are limited to 10 days for election service. Therefore, it would be competent, aa the law now stands, for every deputy to receive $50 for that duty alone, if the Marshal thought proper to exercise i discretion. The usual practice, however, is to multiply tbe number of these eJaaial partisans, which practically means buying so man)' votes and so mueh Influence at the public cost. It is notorious in the greet cities that these special deputies are mainly chosen from among the criminal olasses, such as former convicts, bullies, keepers of low groggerles, prize -lighters, aad tbe like. They are not only billeted on the Treasury, but are clothed with enormous power over the persons and liberty of citizens, whe are taxed to support them, as the following extract from the Revised Statutes shows: Sec. 2,0K. The Marshal and his General Deputies, and such Special Deputies, shall keep the peace, ami rapport and protect the Supervisor o( Klectlon in the discharge of their duties. . . . and Immediately to arrest and take Into custody, uHiS or vM&euf proctM, any person who commit, or attempt or oWers to commit, any of the aets or of femtos prohibited herein, or who eommlM any omm against the laws of the Ualtwl StaUs. How far this unconstitutional power may be carried was illustrated by the thousands of arrests ordered by John I. Daveaport in this city last fall. These Special Deputies are thus constituted the Judges of the offense upon which they nuke arrests without process. And thus it comes to pass that felons who have served terras in the Penitentiary, and others who ought to be cracking stone in t-triped suits, are the chosen instruments of this infamous partisan statute, to drag respectable citizens to prison upon charges made by themselves and executed by themselves! All Inquiry as to the exact number of these General and Special Deputies, and the amounts paid to them, has failed to bring out the exact facts. The accoucta are purposely kept in a manner to exclude this information. The returns are made in a lump; sometimes they are held back or mystified, and instead of specified items, by which eaoh payment of a deputy might be traced to the individual, the accounts are stated in general terms, so that there is no real check on the Marshal. When this subject was before Congress in the last week of tbe late session, Mr. Atkins, Chairman of Appropriations, sought to get explicit answer to certain questions, whfab he addressed to Mr. Devens, that are embodied In his answer of June 34, 1879, from which the extracts below are taken: "K What number of General Deputy Marshals were employed during the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1878, and what number have been employed during the preseat Hseal year?" There are no mtttni at my command for antvering this qnetiioH. It Is not made the daty of Marshals to report What number, or whom, they appoint as General Deputies. ImUrftiy, where any of these Deputies earn fees, they are report ml throuxh the Marshal's accounts. Theee can be ascertained from the nooouHtlng officers, but teouM not inctouk aU the Gmsral What number of Special Deputy Marshals wre employed during the above stated J period?" II am not able to anttcer tht inquiry. " ( and 5. What ia the highest number of General Deputies in any district, and tor how ' long do they serve? and please give the num ber oi uenerai Deputies oy utstnets?" For reasons heretofore Htated, am unable to girt IkehlfihHt nmmbtr of General Wwrfy .Vttrtkitt in any ditiritt, or the ttnmber by dUtriet. Chaklls Dkvens. Thedeticfo Attorney-General, who returned these answers, Is the official who authorized the appointments aad approved tbe accounts of the Marshals in question. lie pretends to know nothing about cither the General or the Special Deputies, and yet be does know that over a quarter of a million of dollars was paid out of the Treasury last fall for election service alone. The letter of Mr. Devens shows conclusively that the department is either culpably or stupidly Ignorant in regard to this large expenditure, for which there is no safeguard beyond tbe discretion of the Marshal. He has a license to do what he pleases, without any protection for the Treasury. When one of these Marshals presented an immense bill for political services last year, the Comptroller refused to allow it, beeause some of the charges were unsupported by even -he formal vouchers that are so frequently and easily manufactured. But Mr. Devens approved it. with the single remark that there was perhaps "a little toe muok sugar in the bill." In order to keep up this corrupt machinery, and to manage elections by a campaign fund drawn from the Treasury by partisan Marshals, the fraudulent President vetoed the bill which appropriated 1900,999 for the service of the Courts. He demanded the electioneering deputies, and deiedCeaKress. r t A California correspondent writes: Paper bricks, now being made in Wisconsin, strike us as exactly what we want here. One of our paper-mills made a few, which need but a touch to bring conviction. It is papier-mache compressed. San Francisco shanties will soon tumble to pieces. Yet brick is objectionable in this damp atmosphere. No country on earth has more or better fibrous material. Aquatic rushes cover all our still waters, and one of our milk uses that material for its pulp. Then we have the paper cactus in vast forests, in our southeastern deserts, which excels all others for bricks. Suck houses would need no plaster, and they would be easily moved on wheels. The soles of all Chinese shoes are made of paper after this fashion. Their shoes have mora sense than ours. They are made without elevated heels, and so shaped otherwise that neither corns nor bunions oaa be generated. TiiKcase of a deaf-mute oow is reported by a Russian veterinary surgeon. A oow, 12 years old, of Algave breed, belonging to a Russian nobleman, never showed aigns of hearing, nor fallowed. Seeing tbe other cattle hollow, she tried to imitate them bv stretching ker neck and head, and opening ker mouth, but she oould not produce any sound. Tke seaee of vision of this oow wae found to be unusually well developed.
