Since then a great many things have transpired that have been very Inter- eetlng and exciting to me. My regi ment received an order about June 20th to proceed to China.

There are some magnificent buildings in this pert of the city. The main part of Tien Tsia hM a huge wall around it, 20 feet thick and 50 feet high.

He realized at onoe what the InvMlon meant and losing sight of his official obligation In his excess of De mocratic joy, he replied: “ Let the message be reoelved.” Thereupon Mr. Grady marched bold ly up to the speaker’s desk and, taking the gavel from the hands of the aston ished presiding officer, rapped sternly for silence in the ball.
