The Willard Opera Company Hspread" themselves considerably last night, when they not only produced Grundy's farcical comedy the | "Arabian Nights," but flashed out all the billiancy of their talent in a six temed

tho concert. The latter was

11010 en- joyable section of the entertainment and passed off with no inconsiderable amount of eclat. The performance was opened by Mr. Zeplin, who, la his own finished style flashed off the grand piano solo "Lucrecia Borgia," This was followed by Mr. Fearnley, who gave a very pleasing rendering of "Queen of the Earth" Miss Bessie Royal's "Vanity" was fair effort, but it did not enthuse the house to any dangerous degree. Mr. Went- worth's singing of *Trae ill Death" was not his most successful effort here, but it met with a derent reception. "The old old words” was a happy selection of Miss Alice St. John's, and in she scored a brilliant auccess, and gained no less than three encorts, to which she graciously responded, Mr. W. Walshe also chore a song that suited his voice admit ably and "The Garonzé was so well recalred that he had also to respond with an encore. · But what would undoubtedly have been the gem of evening was Miss Cissie Denver's rendering of Tosil's" "Gond-bye," had this young lady not been suffering from a severe sore throat, but notwithstanding this she brought all her art to bear, and was most vociferously applauded. As the gave an arch and clever rendering an encare of “Edinbra' toon.” Sullivan's quartetto "Strange adventure" which brought the concert to an end was not quite the success that was anticipated, Alter au interval the "Ambian Nights" even- tuated and ran with a fair amount of smoothness to the end. Mr. Willard as Hummingtop was not in the form that he showed here in the same character on a previous occasion, but he gave an amusing rendering of that very much mother-in-lawed character, and Mrs.| H. also found an exceedingly Intelligent exponent of her views in the person of Miss Clisle Denver. The Mrs. Gillibrand of Miss Bessie Royal was a clever performance but she is responsible for more than one pair of tear-stained cheeks to-day, for we were on the verge of committing matri- meny but the vision of the mother-in-law that Miis Royal Impianted In our breast bas for ever banished all intentions is that direction, Miss Fannie Trigge as Daisy Maitland was many points above par in acting, and bar the accent her performance was a good one. The same can also be said of that vision of loveliness who essayed the part of Bar- bara, and we heartily congratulate Miss Miss Gracie Norman upon the brilliant success that she scored. As might be expected Miss Vers Patey was quite at home as Rosa Colombier and acted with an amount of abandon that quite captivated the ancient portion of the audience,

at least, had been laid up with fever scores of times without any one to nurse him, and phled Gregory King exceedingly. This was intensely exasperating. But solitude soon calmed Gregory's spirit. After three days of incessant rain and

utter loneliness he resolved to brave the elements and call upon the community of Chingchs.

Anyone who has visited this moribund port knows that the river which winds through the) place cuts the foreign community completely in two. On the one side, where the Shanghai steamers lie, are old decayed foreign hongs, once Ray and hospitable, now falling to pieces, or Tenanted by Chinese. In Gregory King's days the only buildings silil occupied by foreigners assistant-in-charge, and the British Consulate, were the Customs offices, presided over by an where dwelt another assistant-in-charge, when he was not up-country shooting, or In the Club at Shanghal. These two were Gregory King's only near neighbours. They were the only laymen in the pince, if he excepted some half- dozen tide-waiters. All the rest of the foreigners were missionaries, and they lived on the other side of the water, where rose the city walls of Chingcha proper.

Now every one is sware, not only that the Chinese are heathens, but that a great many and various religions parties, but to Bay Churches. are trying to Christianise them. These mission- aries are mostly confined to three nationalities: British, American, and French, and they were all represented at Chingcha, In very numerous sects. At least, so Gregory King gathered from the Directory, where nine-tenths of the names la the short entry for the part were ranged under various missións. And it was from this sama Directory that Gregory King gathered that, if he did not want to go the way of his predecessor,

The Commissioner, was a Russian Jew, well-known all up and down the coast of China for excessive carefulness and frugality in expenditure. But though he was notoriously unsociable, he might reasonably be expected to furnish information respecting the other members of the community, and Gregory accordingly made ble enquiries.

"There are a great many ladies among the missionaries," he was told, “and of course they are all charming (with the slightest perceptible sucer), But if you want to make filends” with them, you bad better begin by calling at Dr. Mackenzie's Mission. He, the doctor, the only one we have in the place, lives with his cousins, a Mr. and Mrs. Brown, and their family, Good- bye. You will easily find the house: the only grey stone one along the river bank.",

And the Commissioner escaped, feeling he had lost quite ten minutes out of his walking time, which disturbed the even tenor of his mind for the rest of the day.

Shrugging his shoulders, so as to mentally shake off the inhospitable dust of the Customs premises, Gregory King drew on his gloves, and went forth to pay his calls on the other side of the river.

Pleasant Indeed to look upon, even on a cloudy November day, with a north-easter blowing in his teeth, was the missionary settlement of Chingcha. All along the river bank, a little way outside the city wall, which formed an almost romantic background, were dotted well-built shadily verandahed houses, facing duo south, and securely sheltered from the cold winds. In front of these substantial roomy houses, gardens, well-stocked and carefully cultivated, sloped, towards the river, whers trim Hitle ties or garden siens gave easy access to the water. At the back of the houses, following the line of the city wall, ran a wide path. And a little higher up, at a bend of the river, stood the only grey stone house, the one which Gre- gory King was to visit first.

Certainly the trip across in the ferry was chilly enough, but it was not long, and Mr. King soon found himself under the shelter of the city wall. able to look about him without having to hold on his hat. The path, too, was not a solltary one. Every now and then a Chinaman passed, perhaps conversing in an elevated key to a come panton some eight or ten`yards behind. And, surely that was foreign figure Gregory with a young couple who were sauntering slowly along.

No, the man was a Chinamuu, dressed in foreign clothes; Gregory ought to have known him long way off, by his heavy clumsy bulld, Unmistakably a native, witness even the thick coarse hair, which covered what of his head could be seen under an English clerical hat. No amount of European dressing or culture could ever concest the birth of this young, fellow, Perhaps his clothes rather showed off how truly

Asiatic he was

But his companion, a young girl of about twenty, was just as unmistakably European. The hair was of that warm brown colour valgerly Ported for ever from my’þurs,

It was not only that they were of an atrocious colour, make, and musician ca staring red and black plaid skirt surmounted by a black cloth jacket trimmed with rusty satin) but that the skirt was hopelessly crooked and hung uneven, the coat was gabrushed, and the young lady's hair seemed on the polat of descending, requiring constant support from hands encased in yellow cotton gloves. And yet her figure was pretty enough,

That he was in Chingcha was, of course, ying, sin and shame. Gregory King had already lived in Shanghai, and he liked living there. He was a sociable man, a pleasant companion, and a very second-class man of business. He could sing a lietis, paint a Httle, and talk scandal unlimitedly. No longer a young man, he was still thoroughly well preserved." By which be it understood that he did not yet avoid any deadly dishes, but ate nuta freely, even cracking them with his very own teeth.

During the annual street procession in Soo. chow the crowd became to dense in one of the by-streets that three unfinished buildings col- lapsed with a fearful crash.

In one of the suburban villages outside Nan king lived a farmer and his wife. By dint of hard work and diligence they made enough for their daily necessities. Lately the farmer went to the city to sell some of his produce, leaving the woman alone in the house. About midnight several robbers broke into the premises and demanded money. The frightened woman having nothing to give, she wai plondered of all its effects, which were not worth much. What caused the husband greater sorrow was that the poor victim was near her confinement. The Nanking magistrate held an inquest and defrayed all the burial expenses. Warrants, are out for the arrest of the murderer, who when caught will no doubt suffer immediate decapitation.

The bund in front of the Consulate and the grounds were well lighted with a great number of paper lanterns in differeut colours, while as one looked into the grounds from the fennt gate, the grass and dowers presented the appearance of containing innumerable glow. worms, produced by placing little all lamps all about upon the ground.
