a Serio- -COmica Scene Fight Between
Two st. Vitus Dancers.

Rather peculiar incident Of a serio-comS

The SUNDAY LAW IN CIScINNATI.-A few
weeks ago some of the citizens Of Cincinnati
made movement TO stop the oInnibuses from
running on Sunday, and the Mayor complied
with their wishes by fining the propretors OF
the coaches for violation of the Sunday law.
The prOprietOrs appealed 10 the Courts in vim
dicatioO of their rights, and the Court has de-
cded against the Mayor. The Court rested its
decision upon the ground that the omnibus was
public convenience, and it's work a public me-
cessity. The statute prohibiting common labor
on the Sabbath, could not stand for a moment,
as the law of the State, if its sole foundation
was the Christian duty Of keeping that day
holy, and its sole motive 10 enforce the observ-
snce of that day. 1t is to be regarded as a
mere municipal or police regulation, whose va
lldity is neither strengthened or weakened by
the fact that the day of rest it enjoins is the
Sabbath day.

The Unveiled Atlantic,

| The description given of Japan by some
members of Lord Elgin's suite rivals that of the
enchanted islands in the Arabian Nights
Nothing can excel the picturesque beauty OF
| the bay of NOgasaki, and the situation of the
city at it's extremity. Swelling hills covered
with verdure rise from the waters edge. The
thatchsd roofs Of snug cottages peep from out
| the dense foliage amid which they nestle
Precipitous walls of rock are mirrored in the
azure blue Of the waters at their base. The
Japanese are courteous, affable, gentlemanlke,
| and good natured, quite different from the de-
scription our disinterested friends the Dutch
gave ofthem. Jeddo, the apital, is larger than
London, and contains S,000,O00 of people
The leading street is ten miles loHg, aud close
ly packed with succeed houses. Here are the
palaces 1880 of the hereditary princes, each
sovereign in his own dOmnions, but compelled
to reside in the capital for six months in the
year. Some of the mansions are made to hold
10000 retainers! The palace of the secular
king is surrounded bya triple wall and gives
lodging to 10000 people. The streets are spa.
cious, clean and airy; no dirt, no smells, no
street distractions. In the country every cot
tage. temple and tea house is surrounded by
gardens laid out in exquisite taste. Tea hou-
ses are found in every shady nook or by pleasant
rivers. The tea is served by the mnistrations
of fair damses, who glide rapidly and noiseess-
y about, suspecting no indecorum and meaning
none."
Strange that we should have known so little
of this modern Atlantic, this beauieOus isle set
IN a silver sea- Stranger still that they should
have worked out so perfect and so grotesque a.
species of civilization, like the devices on their
own ware, odd and startling, but minutely I'm
lsbRd off Here we have two kings; one spir-
lual, who can trace up bis lineage for $500
years, the other secular, who commands the
forces. both dwelling in the same city like bro
theirs. The japanese seem to be the most i'm.
presslble nation on earth; whatever they see
they imitate-u@4 u@4escopes, aGeroids, steam en-.
gines spy glasses. &C., aud yet they have
hitherto locked themselves up within an i'm
penetrable barrier.
They have, however, one curious institution
which prevails to a slight degree among our
selves II is what they call "NaybOen," or
SNAKE believe" IL is as it a man disbelieves
the evidence of his senses. and acts according.
Iy. Ifa man dies in debt he is supposed TO be
alive, and his family draw his income regularly
to pay his creditors. If a man commit suicide
on being insuted, he is not considered TO be
dead until some time has ella pscd when he is
said to have departed from disease. So when
Lord EIgin boldly dashed into the prohibited
precincts of that harbOr of JeddO. alter little
