Swell Servants In England.

SAYS a London correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial:
Although all hope of recovering the
jewels OF Lady Dudley has vanished
their real value was ,O00-there is
still good deal of speculation about
their disappearance, and pretty general
belief that some one of his Lordship's
servants must have been at least an &C
complete in the transaction. 1t is diff
cult to believe that box of such value
intrusted to the care of servants could
have disappeared in railway station
from unwilling hands, or that an outside
thief could have known SO much about
the movements of the family as to have
been on the spot at the precise moment.
However this may be, there is no doubt
that the English nobility have a way of
employing servants which offers grand
opportunities to rogues. In most cases
the outside of the servants is the chief
thing If the coachman or footman is
goodlooking in his livery and of the re-
quired dimensions his character is not
inquired into. A wellknown Duke re-
Gently advertised for footman of exact
ly five feet eleven inches IN height,
whose sole business it would be to stand
at the back of his coach beside another
of like stature. A youth, now in the en-
ploy of lady of my acquaintance, ap
piled for the advertised position,
and says that his character was
no. asked for; he was taken into
the servants hall and measured,
and dismissed for lacking the half inch
demanded by the Duke. There is a
passion for tallness in servants, and OF
one noble family, at least, it is a rule to
admit no man servant under six feet.
There are six of these eminent person
ages in their fine mansion. The English
servants are good-looking, neat, and con-
stitutional tlunkeys and tlunkeyesses
They are very shrewd, and have their
class rules as well defined as any trade
union. Downing street does not possess
more pigeon-holes and red tape than
mansion of the wealthy. An upper
house maid would die at the stake before
she would do a bit of work that came
within the province of the under house
maid. A swell butler would throw up
his position in the face of the Lord Chan
cellor himself if he were expected to
black his own boots. There are many
boys of thirteen kept in brass buttons,
and in many instances the sole duty OF
this boy is to brush the clothes and boots
OF the butler, the master of the house
having his own separate valet. OF course,
1t is not pride which has made the IN
flexible laws of etiquette among these
servants, by which they refuse to step
out OF an official groove or function. i!
is the determination of their class 10
preserve the conventional number OF the
servants required for any first-ciass
household. They particularly dislike
servants from other countries, especially
the Germans, because if well paid ana
well treated they will do anything re-
quested of them.
