stroke of military genius, and worthy
of a nobler fate. All tho talent, the
enterprise, the knowledge, and the en-
lirh,enment of the empire. seemed to
have gradually ranged themselves on
the side of the rebels. This is anothc:
of the great facts Of the rebellion,
The sword, as wo have seen, was un'
sheathed in 1850. In 1851, the scis-
sors we're drawn, and the rebels cut ott
their tails, which, in China, is the last
extremity of treason, and indicates that
the war is to be one Of exterminatlon.
Young China is tail.less, and when a
man embraces the liberal cause, he is
docked forthwith. Now it was that
Tien.te, the leader Of tho insurgents,
who had hitherto kept in the back
ground, assumed the imperial, canary.
colored robe, adopted the style, and
performed the duties of emperor. He
is described as possessing rare pol'tl-
cal sagacity, and incontestable superior
ity of mind, and, above all, that active
and energetic spirit so peculiar to men
reared in the shade of secret assoc'a-
lions. When Tien-te receives ENJOYS,
his language is dignided, his air serene,
his demeanor affable and kind. On the
other hand, his pretentions are bound
less. He is ",he Celestial King He
is the younger brother of Jesus, and in
1887 was taken up to Heaven, where
he was instructed by his Heavenly Faith.
er-from whom he received books and
doctrines-in all celestial matters. His
celestial mother, and the heavenly sis
ter, his wife. are described in the pub.
lished pamphlets of the revolutionary
army, and the work committed by God
to his hands, is given in detail. Now,
too, the religious element comes into
play. The progress of the revolutiona-
ry army was marked by the overthrow
Of pagodas and tho destruction of idols.
This in itself was .afeature too striking
and unexpected not to create aprofound
impression on every mind A vast
stride had been made whenltails were
flung to the winds, and rebeilioos hair
sprou,ed forth at its own goodpleasure.
But wha, was the clipping of mortal
tails to the breaking up of divine en-
blemsl The Christianity of the rebels
is, Of course, tainted with superstition
and error; yet tho fact that they pos.
sess, in any tolerable correctness, the
substance of the Christian faith, is one
of the most striking facts, not only Of
this rebellion, but of modern times.
