The most celebrated, feat of Chinese Gordon was the suppression of the Taeping rehellion which in the spring of 1863 had reached its apogee. In thirteen years Hung-sew-tsuen, the *ionary school teacher of Ganton, nach znustor

"The Mowing fell over the table in. front of the throng, and the other Wangs seized him and decapitated him. Then, they mounted their horses, caderachia his palace, and the head was sent to Gordon as a peace-offering. *.

The pieces played were Eugene Aram and The Belle's Stratagem, Between the two plays Mr. Toole Kave his sketch Trying a Magistrate, and Mr.. Sims Reeves sang The death of Nelson and Then You'll Remember Afe. Mr. Herbert Reeves also sang. At the end of The Belle's Stratagem Mr. Irving came before the curtain and deliver- cd a farewell address. Mr. Irving said that the company before leaving England would per form in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Liverpool. They would play in America from October 29 to April 20, and would be back in London on the 2nd of June next. The farewell speech was interrupted with enthusiastic cheers, and Mr. Irving was at times almost overcome with emotion. The enthusiasm culminated when, on Mr. Irving's withdrawal, the orchetra struck up Auld Lang Syne, and the curtain rose, disclos- ing the whole of the Lyceum company ranged upon the stage in a semicircle, with Mr. Irving and Miss Ellen Terry in the centre. The effect upon the house was electrical to be compared only to the fervour of enthusiasm sometimes sccu in the House of Commons, at the close of a great speech on the eve of a great division. Rounds of tumultuous cheering from all parts mingled with the strains of Auld Lang Syne broke down the strongest nerves. There was not a dry eye in the theatre. The enthusiasm was hysterical and players and public alike abandoned themselves to its over. whelniing influence. After the fall of the curtain the cheering went an until Mr. Irving, Miss Ellen Terry, and other members of the company had appeared again and again, and made their bow individually.
