The Japanese Indemnity.

The return of the Simonoseki indem-
nifty has caused great pleasure in Japan,
not only as just and honorable net, but
also as a practical evidence that Mt least
one great Western power puts this
Asiatic country on par with the fore
most nations of Europe in its claims to
international courtesy and consideration.
This result arouses the i'll feeling Of some
Of the English residents of Yokohama, who
say that the restoration of the money was
not made from conviction of its justice,
but only with shrewd business aim to
secure Japanese favor. Great Britain
was one of the countries that joined with
tho United States in fining Japan for
acts which the Government of that
country was not responsible for, and
which were committed by rebel prince
whose animosity was excited by the
Governments fricndliness to foreigners.
It was an outrage to demand indemnity
! for trivial losses inflicted on foreign
| vessels and other property from such q
cause; and tho action of the United
States was an acknowledgment of the
outrage and a reparation of part OF il.
The universal tone of the press and pub
lie discussion here shows that the simple.
purpose of Congress in restoring the In
dcmnity was an net Of justice, and not
to GEEK an advantage in trade rivalry.

Bloodhoumds Fight on the Stage.

An unexpected incident occurred dur.
the performance of "Unclc Toms Cabin"
by JAY Rials Ideal Company Mt Hav-
act in which the Harris family mako
dash for liberty. The two bloodhounds
which are brought on the stage to pursue
the fugitivcs, instead of performing their
part in tho play, jumped ut each others
throats and at once engaged in dcsper
ate fight on the stage. The brutcs
rolled over into the orchestra, putting
the musicians to sudden flight and
throwing the audience into n state of
alarm, many of tho ladies screaming
from fright.
l.. +. Spencer, who took the part of
Phjncas Fletcher, Mr.. Mcconnell, tho
manager, and two other members OF tho
company jumped off the stage, and, after
long struggle, succeeded in separating
the bloodhOunds, but not before Mr..
Spencer had his right hand severely bit
ten. The dogs were then removed from
the theatre, and did not appear again
for some time. Mr.. Spencer was I'M
able to continue in his part, and Mr.. II.

maindcr of the performance.
The bloodhounds were recently brought
on from Cincinnati, while their regular
keeper, q colorcd man, was left behind.
That afternoon they fought in the
stable in Henry street, where they were
kept, and they renewed the fight MS soon
as they were brought on the stage. The
occurrence created almost IL panic in the
large audience.
