As vour vessel drops anchor in Japanese wa- ters, custom-house officers come aboard with taeir fans.

Zondun Trush. A redoute In the good old times used to bea public ball in a provincial town. Gavottes and, minuets were'danced gravely there. Gentlemen scarcely dared to hold the tins of their part- ners’ fingers which were ungloved. After the Revolution the bal de Tivoli was called a redoute by Deputics and Generals brousht up Iq from Paris. It was one of the places” at which muscadins and mer- veillenses met to amuse themselves, the former muffied up to their ears, and the latter in the costumes of Olympian goddesses. The mirth and fun were fast and {urious. Bonavarte seat gendurmes to moderate the Bacchanalian transports, which brought Tivoli and places like it into bad odor. Balls there were no longer called redoutes. which thenceforth were only held in the orivate houses of the rich, fo the last week of the Carnival and on the night of the Ji-Careme, s ‘The roysteriug {entertainments went out with the Bouapartes, and came in again with them seven-and-twenty vears ago. The Emopress Eugenie gave u redonte at the Villa d’;Alba, in the Champs- Elysee. Prosper Merimee, her mother’s friend, sent a sketch of it to L' Inconnue,; which {s not the part of his cor- respondence With her that should be left open on & drawing-room table. The writer was too overhardencd a sinmer to understand that, in telling whot Dhis eyes saw and ears heard, he was damaging the Empire that spread for him s bed of roses. An- other redoute that set *‘Landernasu talking,” was given at the houseof the Princede la M——a. Married ladies were requested in_the invitations not to brinir their demoiselles. Nev- ertheiess, the daughter of a Minister and Coup o’ Etat Marshal, who had not entered the wedded state, presented themselves unmasked, but dressed in the uniforms of French school-boys. The coats and trousers were thought ~a sufficient sacrifice to social Jecencies. - A crayon stump had also been passed over the upper lips of the: youner ladits, and the black trace it left was thougt to centuate the beauty of their moutns. I can speak us an eye-witaess of this redoute, at which the ladies wore fancy garments, but made no attempt to hidethelr faces.

T wonld scem as if 3 stioke of a magiclan’s wand metamorphosed the Chomps-Elysess about the first day in May. The avenues and musses of trees which only the night before were plunged in Cimmerian darkness in spite of the gas-lamps, which prefended to illuminate them, are suddenly fnundaicd with a blaze of licht. Interminable cordons and festvons of globes, like chaplets of monster pearls, twine about between the trees. From those whilom silent groves burst forth vizorous, full-throuted songs, Dot those of uightingales, alas, but of human voices, wnich always doininate the or- chestra with their strident bratality. These are the famous cafes chantants which always hold 50 couspicuous & place in_ the memory of visi- tors to the city of liaht and civilization. There are three principal concerts: the Ambassadeurs, tne Alcazar, und the Horloge, all of them pretty much alike. The price of admission toall of them is about the same. aithouzh some of them have adopted the unsatisfuctory system of entrappine the visitor by advertistug * Entree libre,” und then churging him 3 frane 50 for a glass of beer,or a cupof coffec, which he is oblized to order. Inany casca good scat ab any of these cales-concerts costs about three and o half or four francs, waiter included. The arranzement needs bardly to be described; on a neatly graveled floor are placed rows of me- tallic chairs which are sufficiently comfortable, ‘as such things go in Europe. Attached to the row of chairs in front of you is s little metallic shelf on which the inevitablo and Irrepressible Farcon places the medioere liquors, which one 13 supposed to quafl.

Now, however, the upholstery ladles haze no chance, all the fime 15 taken up by “stats® who come from fire wings through the central door just at the moment the archiestra bezins to_ strike up their morceau.

The scientists, by virtue of the superstitious reverence for their assumed superior wisdom which has come down from former ages, have contrived to maintain their hold noou the popu- lar mind longer than many of the other clusses, but their reign also approaches fts end. Their theories may have served well enouzh in feudal times, but men’s minds no longer cousent to be bound in chains to kerve their selfish purposes, and Mr. John Jasper, in raising the standard of revolt uainst an effete despotism, has taught these doctrin- aircs of physical science that the majesty of the American people is not to be curbed and mensured by their petty rules. Their school- ‘made theory of the_earth Tevolving around the sun bas been tried in the balance and found wanting. S0 far from benefiting mankind it has brought nothing but misery, and every effort to adjust the operations of the world to this narrow scheme has but made the rZ”_ - richer and the poor poorer, uatil men W stand it no longer.
