realised by the sale of their owe photographs, to,
was considerable, and the proportions of each
member of the company were, we think, contrasted
much more forcibly with those of ordinary human
beings whilst engaged in that sale than in any other
part of the proceedings. The General and his party
leave here, we believe, for B th, where no doubt
they will meet with • reception quite u enthusiastic

especially as the announcement that this ia positively
their last tour, adds to the excitement ocossioned by
their appearance.
