them to Alfred for thirty days.

where below Brogdon's wharf.

French Servants.

The Philadelphia Telegraph's Paris
letter has the following was recently
the interested witness of a very odd in
terview between friend Of my own and
her cook, wherein the proverbial thrift
of the Frenh nation was very incongru-
ously, albeit tearfully, set forth. The
facts in the case were as follows The
cook in question had got married to my
friends coachman something over year
before In due course of time she pre-
sented her husband with little son,
who was welcomed with great delight by
both parents-the happy father declar-
ing that he would grow up sturdy
fellow and be ready to fight the Ger
mans when the great day Of " la re-
vanche" should come. The poor babe,
however, was but sickly mite, and
when placed out to nurse in the country,
according to Frencn fashion, speedily
langufshed and died. 1t was its death
that the cook came to announce to her
mistress in my presence. Amid floods
Of tears she sobbed out, "From first to
last, madame, that child did not cost me
less than 800 francs, and it only lived
six weeks p The mixture of thrift and
woe was, to say the least of it, decidedly
queer. But French servants are often
exceedingly odd under any circnm.

Since the establishment Of the Foo Chow
Arsenal under French Naval Instruction in
1879, the sampan people have become more
civilized, and many Of them are to be found
about the anchorage who converse with
much greater nuency in the most elegant of
all languages, than many Of our graduates
from French classes.
A man who, six years ago was only sam,
pan.man is now holding position as Navigat-
ing OfcCr ofa gun vessel in the Chinese
Navy, and not only does he understand tho
French language, but he speaks, reads and
writes English with singular facility, and is
very liberal and intelligent man, considering
he is a heather. But such advances as these
are very rare, and such progressive brains as
have mentioned arc seldom found in the &C.
lestial Empire. The majority of sampan peo-
pie are entirely ignorant Of their written Ian.
guage, and can scarcely speak their own YER
nacular with iluency, except It be profanity,
at which they are remarkably expert.
The women in all classes Of sampans are at
tired in the usual costume of wide pantaloons
and long jackets. They do not compress their
feet though they have pedal extremlties which
are the envy of our white lady residents, be-
ing so small that chlds shoe would fit them,
and they are perfectly shaped.
These people never wear head covering, ex,
cept in violent rains, when they have large
bamboo hat, with peaked top, such as you
have always seen on the tea chest pictures in
the tea stores. For hours at time they will
stand in the burning sun with no covering for
their shavcn POLLS and yet they seem to ex.
perience no inconvenience. am convinced
that the opacity Of their imaginations is caus-
ed partly by the life of continual exposure to
the inclemency Of the weather which these
poor people are compelled to lead.
There are many other varieties of sampans
which have never seen, which are entirely
employed in the interior of the Min District
among the rapids Of this magnificent river,
and which therefore only mention.
One general characteristic prevails among
the entire class ofsampan people of all grades,
viz: tendency to appropriate any article
which they think they can lift and remove
without being observed.
In short they are inveterate and incorrigiblc
thieves, and will steal anything from redhot
stove to a piece of ice, and from a needle to an
anchor.
With these remarks 1 close my subject,
hoping the reader will be somewhat edited
upon the manner of lille In sampans.
