intimate friend and resident of Buffalo,
who, understanding the tastes and require

course be the best person to make for
them judicious arrangements. Mr.. Glenn

tour for the past few months, accepted the
assurance that everything had been atten-
ded TO. Al the depot hearty good
nights were exchanged, the larger party
driving to the hotel, the bride and groom
taking a carriage for more quiet quarters
Stopping in front Of a modest hut very
attractive brick house in the upper part
of Delaware street Mr.. Clemens was
very much surprised to be met in the hall
by the father of the bride and his own
sister, whom he supposed already quar-
tered at the hotel. The landlady of the
house suddenly disappeared from the
scene, and as leaf by leaf Of the charming
little drama unfolded, Mark Twain found

John Gilman an versus Bridget.

We are going TO have the Chinamen
here, in this very metropolis and in i'm
mense numbers. We shall be brought in
close contact with them. and try the ex-
pertinent of living with them, in the most
thorough manner. In other words, we
shall have them as our house servants
not by the hundreds, but by the thousands.
In ten years from now, we make bold to
predict, the sweet Milesian accent will
cease to be prevalent in our city kitchens
and laurdries, and "pigeon English" will
be the common substitute.
Our reasons are very plain. We are
afflicted now with about the worst, most
useless, and most independent class of
house servants tolerated in the civilized
world. They are yearly becoming less
serviceable and more exacting. They are
as much inferior to our house servants of
ten years ago as the latter were to the
servants of whose superior qualities our
old Knickerbockers descant so enthusiasts
tically. 1t is becoming clear that the
Miliesian element is wholly out of place
in any scrvile employment. 1t is above
such an humiliation, and only endures it
from hated necessity.
John Chinaman, however has not the
slightest pride about the matter. He and
his ancestors for thousands of years have
been servants without a thought Of com.
plant or of change. He is contcnted
with small wages; lives within his in
come; cares nothing about initiating the
head of the house; has no pride or other
nonsense, and takes hard and constant
work as his legitimate inheritance. His
color, his race, and his religion isolate
him from his American employers so eff
fectually that he never thinks of social
equality or competition. So long as he
gets his small allowance regularly, he has
the most philosophical contempt for all
those sights which 80 worry and outrage
Bridget and Patsey.
Moreover he learns housework with
marvellous rapidity, and shows a wonder
ful aptitude to American ways, styles of
cooking and housekeeping and habits.

can do he soon learns to do better and
