How Mandarins Dine.

When an entertainment is about TO be
given by mandarin. says one who has
been there, he sends three invitations to
all those whom he wishes to partake of il
one on each of the two days proceed
ing, and one Immediately before it. These
are generally received by the invited with
much reimbursement and ceremony, and.
unless it is owing to the most pressing
and important circumstances, an invita-
ton is never refused. When the guests
arrive. they are instant received bv the
master of the house with certain laid down
ceremonies and prescribed speeches.
Pointingto chair with profound rever-
ence he wipes it with his robe, and general
ly commences the conversation by express
ing his delight at the great and unmerited
honor the other has conferred upon his
unworthy house by adorning it with his
sublime presence, and earnestly hopes
that his never-to- be sufficiently -honored
wife and most beautiful children are well
in health. To which the guest will re-
spond that words fail to express his
gratitude at being spared to bring his vile
person into that most magnificent abode
and encounter the lightning glance of his
lord his unworthy wife and miserable
offspring have but preserved life to be as
sured of his lords health being all that
they, his miserable slaves, could wish it to
be; and so on. While these little ameni
ties are being exchanged, the other guests
walk about the room, admiring its furni-
ture and adornments with all the high
flown eulogiun which the language of the
Land j. so capable of expressing.
To omit to do this would be mark oftbe
greatest ill-breeding
