Servants in China. domestie servants are won- derfully good encleleverin adapting themselves to foreign notions. They are of course Chinese, ;..and men are employed, ,not,women, unless it be for ladies' °maids and nurses. They are always Called"" Boys." There is `generally a,` head, or house -boy, who corresponds to our . butler at home, and performs very much the same duties : under him come from two toileo younger men; called. " No. 2 'Bons," who look after one's wardrobe, attendat table, answer the bell,.: and so on. °} In lt.r;►e es- tablishments, the$ "lead -boy " is allowed to bring in one or two of his younger relatives or friends, who a railed " learn-pidgeons. i. e., a a entices, while they learn their trade._ For house. maids men are employed, called '_l'cgolies," a lower classy of servants, but none the less :atelligent and useful.. The kitchen is also presided over by a man, who J asefr l (vyo, to four nates under him, the real artists in most cases. One may !live in China for years, and ie .perfectly satisfied all the while 24lt1 the style and skill with. which `his viands are served up, withput ever making the acquain- taned cf hischefde cuisine. The fact is that a good cook cam will -often serve ohalf a dozen est tblishments, receiv- ing wages from each,and each em- ployer congratulating himself upon the ppo_ssessiote of an admirable artist, 'while 01 the while the' man is sine. ply educating a number of mates and apprentices, who, in the course of -time, hecomechefs in their' `turn. They = cook, of course, in the' best English and French styles. I have seen dinners and banquets laid out in China that would' do credit to - home tables. Iflhere be bnything that a Chinese has a special gift for flit is cooking. They are, moreover, the handiest servants in the world in case of pressure or emergency: A roaster of his _house has often occa- sion to send for his ` butler late in the afternoon. and tell hint - that a rlumher;of guests, will be in -et din- ner that evening. The simple an- swer is, " Very well, Sir," and when the hour arrives there is the dinner, which, aS far as abundance of cook- ery go9s, might very well have been ordered some clays beforehand. It is also very touch the habit, in the winter months,'for gentlemen to go in parties up country shooting, . and: first-rate sport.: they have, with pheasants, partridges, deer, pig, wild fowl, &c., free from the trammels of preserves, licences, or game' laws. They go in costly -furnished house- boats, in which they they spend a weex or a fortnight at a time. On these occasions the Chinese servant is invaluable,: The cook, :F. " boy," and " coolie" generally arc mpany the panty, 4nd, although the space is somewhat cramped, still theysuc- p ,. ceed in providing their masters with meals and comforts precisely as if they were at home on shore, 'and this without a word of grumbling or disconten ° In short, when well se- -lected an managed, and when kind- ly treated; the ehineile " hoy " will, perhaps, match any servant in the worldfor activity, docility, honest* and general usefulness. the women servants are equally goal in their way. Ladies find them invaluable, and for the care of children they are particularly well suited, being mild, patient, gentle, and kindly to a fault. [Signed,] JAS.
