XIV. condescended to inform him with his own Royal lips that he had been made an admiral of the French fleet, and everyone expected to see him overphelmed with emotion, coolly answered, "Sire, you have done qnite right ! " But an even more refreshing instance of outspoken candour occurred in China during the Taipinz rebellion, just before General Gordon's appearance on the stage of that great tragedy. The native troops which Gordon afterwards led to victory were then under the command of a soldier of fortune named Bnrgevine, a filibuster of the most pronounced type, whose whole life had been one long defiance of established usages. His second in command, Captain Jones, was a kindred spirit, as fierce and untamed as himself. Between two such men a quarrel was inevitable, and it was not long ere a dispute arose which ended in Burgevine whipping out his revolver and firing point blank at his lieutenant's head. The ball missed, however, and Jones, being unarmed, fled for his life, two more bullets whistling after him as he ran. Jones fled to the quarters of the Chinese Com rnander-i n-Chief, who, being a mnch abler and more active man than the majority of native officials, took up the case at once, and mode Jones draw up a statement of the facts, which he then sent to Burgevine, doubtless expecting a fiat denial. Bnt, instead of this, the reckless fillibuster curdy wrote on the back of the document that cliarged him with a deliberate attempt at murder. "Captain Jones's account of the matter is substantially correct, and I have much pleasure in bearing teatimon v to 1,:t3 well-known veracity."—Cassel's Saturday elawnri.
