~ Japanese festS and Eanyusge.
The Japanese Troupe, gave an enter
tainment of their truly wonderful feats,
at Phillips Hall IN this city, three nights
this week, closing on Wednesday night.
The performers are perfect, AID their
language is easily understood-by them
selves. We understood the ejaculations
of the performers: 'Ah-yah!' and Duh
YAH" and the address of old Jap, WHO
punctuated his remarks, or, rather, rom
ded his periodic, by striking two--little
sticks together. The following is q

II The EFFECT OF Music UPoN Cows "A
writer in one Of the country towns of
England thus notes the effect of music
on cows:
n "At residence in this neighborhood
o flower show was held on the lawn,
which was separated by iron ratings
from field in Vhich several COWS were
grazing. When the band began to play,
the cows, which were at a considerable
distance. simultaneously ceased grazing.

in a row, with their heads stretched over
the ratings, intently watching the band,
= apparently with the creates interest and
i astonishment When the band ceased
l. playing, they moved away to a distance,
where they could Craze undisturbed by
the crowd, but always returned and
| watched the band when it resumed play
ing, with the same apparent interest aud
+ absorbed attention. OF course, aiiu-
sions to Orpheus and the beasts were
plentiful among the company. The
! cows certainly seemed the most attentive
! part of the audience, and the effect of 8
row of fascinated COWS with h eads over
the ratings, was very ludicrous."
The civil war in Japan seems likely
to end in the triumph of the allied Dali
mics over the Tycoon. The latter, it is
reported, has been defeated in a severe
engagement, and fed to Yeddo. The
/. Government Of the young Milkado has
notified the representatives of the for
] eign powers that Japan will faithfully
adhere to the treaties. On the othe,
4 hand, however, a report reaches us that
all the foreigners have left Hiogo and
Osaca. and that one foreign vessel has
been fired upon by the Japanese.
However this may be- it Us incredible
that the Milkado Government should
ever seriously think of violating the
] treaties. The Japanese have, during
the last ten years, seen and heard too
/ much about the power and the ciyilliza.
