6 H0USJS8. Fnrllah wl Amrlcn Co I ciwt-i, M illion! MiM'ti lattery MllitrrMr. From an exceedingly readable artiole in Tintlty's Matjazine we make tbe following elections: A MODEL AMERICAN HO'3B. There is an excellent chance for some upe eulatlv showman some Uritish Barnntn to realize a moderate fortune by importing to thia country, erecting and exhibiting, an American house. I do not mean a spoimen of the log cabins in which a large proportion of my countrymen are mpposmi to resi.le, nor a model of the modest White llonse, at Washington, which is made to Berve as a paor substitute for a Presidential palaoe; but I mean an average American houpe, such as those which are erected in all the cities of the United States for the residentMB of the middle-class population. Compared with a dwelling of thia kind, the middle-olas houses in England seem destitute equally of eomfort and convenience, although tho.ie who have never been accustomed to anything dif ferent or better consider them quite comforta ble and convenient enough for all practical purposes. Hut then diilerent p-ople have different minds. An Englishman absolutely believes that he oan warm a room by building a grate fire at one end of it. An Auiirioau visiting this country is in a continual shiver, his face being soorched and his baok cold, or vice vers!, until he becomes thoroughly accli mated, and learns that the mut healthy warmth is that which exercise in the open air imparts to the blood. A MODEL EKOLIKII FIRE. The parade, labor, skill, and paraphernalia requited to maintain and nianuge an EnglittU fire are bewildering to a foreigner. There are the grate, and the ornamented fender, and the rug before the hearth; the steel shovel, tongs, and poker that are kept for beauty, not tor use; and the steel poker, tongs, and shovel that are to be used. Need I say that the foreigner always undertakes to employ the wrong poker, and is detested accordingly ? Then there is the handsome coal-box that Btands by the fireside, and the ugly coal-sont-tle which the maid carries in and out to reple nish the former. Matches, waste-paper, bundles of kindling-wood ad libitum, and the first issue thereof is smoke. Presently thero comes flame, and then, after mmy hours of manipu lation, heat is generated. Not much heat, hut still enough to make one wish for more. Meanwhile, the fire commuted the coals with a fiendish disregard of their price per sack, liy way of revenge, 1 prosuin'), everybody who enters the room gives the lire a savage poke. But, like "Stephano's" fish, in the Tempest, it is a most delicate monster. Let but a foreign hand touch the piker, and the fire grows sul len and dies out. J'.' very man thinks he oan dress a salad; every man thinks he can poke a lire; these are the two least venial of human errors. When the tire dies, either naturally, or by some unskilful touch, it strews the whole fender with its ashes. Then , one of the maid-servants pro duces a boxful of black lead and brushes, takes away the ashes and sifts them, and, by dint of much hard work, polishes the grate again. There is no other institution in Eng land so troublesome, vexatious, unsatisfac tory, and ungrateful, as an English tire; but the people love it, and praise it, and shiver round it, as if it were a tire from heaven, like that which lit the altars of the gods. ENGLISH AND AMERICAN SERVANTS. It is evident that the origin of the numer ous labor-saving contrivances in America is the lack of good servants; but in London the inhabitants have been complaining for years of the lack of good servants, and are yet very slow to introduce servant-saving machines. Americans, who know what the horrors of servantdom really are, cannot bat regard these complaints as ill-founded. Everywhere in Eng land, not excepting London, the servants seem astonishingly docile, civil, willing, and well trained. The worst London maid-of-all-work who ever transformed a lodging-house into a purgatory shines like an angel by contrast with her Irish sister in New York. The most tupid, drunken, negligent coachman in Eng land is a perfect master of his business by contrast with his brother, the independent adopted fellow, citizen who murders your horses in the United States. Per haps the best servants we have had in Amerioa during the past twenty years were the black slaves in the South; but they were exceedingly lazy, wasteful, and expensive, so that I have often heard a Southern planter declare that he was the real elave forced to work for his negroes. lint thirty or forty years ago there was a set of servants, mostly blacks, attached to Knicker bocker families in New York and New Jersey, who were as near perfection as men and women oan become. Those were the days of Batch kitchens, Dutch dishes, Dutch neat ness, and Dutch housewifery, now long past and never to return. With them faded away the old faithful race of servants, who honored and respected their employers, and were honored and respected by all. Occasionally . one happens upon a descendant of this race, with all the virtues of the good old stojk; hut the aocident is very rare. I remember ob of them now a negress named Diana with whose culinary art no French cook oould compete, and with whose merits as a woman few whiter women could oompare. She lived only to show us what treasures we had lost. Put the English servants, at their best, are precisely like these Knickerbocker marvels. At their worst, they are so much better than the present race of servants in Amerioa, that any American who values his comfort more than his democracy would do well to exchange countries for this reason alone. Nevertheless, we are right to flatter ourselves that we have no good servants because of onr democracy. It is not pleasant to think of thousands of young men and women who grow up as ser vants in private houses, with no ambition beyond exchanging their domestij servitude for the publio servitude of a little landlord ship and landladyfchip in a minor tavern. In America a coachman may win his way into Congress, and a servant may marry a future President. If we must have either disoomfort or feudalism, let us choose disoomfort. Put sometimes when I watch the English servants at their work it occurs to me that, as there is nothing degrading in household service, and as Americans pay very dearly for it, surely it ought to be more honestly and ably per formed even by embryo Congressmen and the possible wives of Presidents. If any remain ing Pogram object to this sentiment as uure publioan, I'll make it stronger by suggesting that we should have in America Btrioter laws to compel our future rulers to give us fairer work for our fair wages. TBB MODHL IRIHH SERVANTS. One pregnant advantage that the Euglish - have is, that their servants are their own countryfolk. A native-born American servant is almost an impossibility. In old times we used to find them in some of the Eastern States, but they were chiefly farmers' daugh ters sent out as "helps" to neighbors, in order that they might learn housekeeping, and so ft themselves for becoming industrious wiveB. - This is th reason why they were called TUB DAILY E "help?," and not servant; for biug of the tame social rank as their employers, there wag nothing servile in their oocn p-ition4. Naturally the same term came in time to be applied to all servants; hut it ia now very seldom used. The servants in America, then, are all foreigners Irish in the East, Germans in tbe West. English and Scotch are more scarce, and are always sure of commanding better pi noes and higher wages. Germans are preferred to the Irish, because they know more about domestic duties and are generally neater in appearance. They have, however, proponsltles for lager beer, lovers, and waltzing at late balls, which test tbe temper of the most patient mistress very seveitly. The Irish go from the emigrant ships to the " intelligence oflices," or servants' agencies; and often they have plioes that is to say, are hired the next day after they leave ship board. Poor girls! The wonder ia, not that they know so little, but that they learn so quickly. Coming from homes destitute of every comfort from straw-thatched cabins, where the only housekeeping consists iu piling peat upon the fire from hovels wheri all the rneala are cooked in the same pot, and gaunt Poverty casta its curse upon the scanty fare they are transferred in a moment from the horrois of the steerage to what ajem to them palaces, and are transformed in a twinkling from emigrants to "culinary artistes," or "first-class gwieral servants." . They have never had any money before, but they are too shrewd tp squander their large wages. Wi h a generosity to which one cannot do too ample justice, their first thoughts are for their poor relatives in Ireland; th'ir first savings are Cent to bring these wretched sufferers to the piomiced land. These Irish servant girls, whose devotion to their religion shames many a Christian in h'gher stations, subscriba immen?e sums of money for the Roman Catholic Church, for the support of priests and for charity. They have alwajs a tiille left, too, for Fenianism or any other "ism" that assumes the garb of the champion of eld Ireland. Thinking of all their devotion nud their patriotism and their sacrifices, their faults appear trivial; hut they have most vexatious faults. They soon learn their independence; their self-respect takes the form of unbridled insolence; they are, almost without exception, virtuous while in service, but they are very fond of drink; they assume nnservantlike finery, despise those caps which English maids wear so jauntily, and make frequent drafts upon their mistresses' wardrobes. Cou sins are always coming to see them; and as every irishman is their cousin, a thiof or burglar often turns up in a well-regulated household. Funerals are their delight; and as 80:ne Irish friend is always dying, and as they are invited to every wak, a considerable portion of their time is devoted to the dead rather than to the living. They domineer over the real mistress of the house, order her out of the kitchen, and give her the full benefit of a temper epoiled by early brutality. They reserve all their attention for their own country-people, and never have the slightest attachment to the families with whom they live. Regarded philosophically, they are ex cellent patriots; but regarded practically, they are very bad servants, in every way interior to those of England and Europe. Put there is such a calamity as TOO MOCIl OF A GOOD THINK. The English have too many servants. The labor is divided into very small portions, and there must bo a man or a maid for each por tion. Butler, housekeeper, cook, housemaid, parlormaid, nurse, nurse-maid, laundry maid, lady's-maid, footman, valet, scullery maid, and page, or "buttons," they muster in a diversified but formidable array, and each one is pledged by some secret bond of the fraternity never to do anything that is as signed by cubtom to the departments of his coadjutors. At least three or four servants muBt be attached to a moderate household in London. In the oountry I have known fifteen ser vants engaged to wait upon a family of four persons. I do not speak of noblemen's .fami lies, for these maintain an immense retinue of dependants and nndei lings, but of a quiet country-house, with no game-preserves to look after, and no stud of hunters to require extra stablemen. Euglish ladie3 are, as a rule, better housewives than American women, and they have need to be so. To manage so many employes satisfactorily demands talents, labor, and experience enough to fit a man for the rank of drill-sergeant, or even that of general. In many Euglish houses the ser vants form a household within a household. They must have a separate table, not furnished forth with the funereal baked meats from their masters' feasts, but with everything cooked especially. Even in the plainest houses there is a fixed extra allowance tor the servants' beer. In great houses the upper servants have a third table in the housekeep er's room. All this draws heavily npon the income of the head of the family. Wages are not very dear, but not much cheaper than in America. Perquisites are about the same in both countries. Vails, or gifts from visi tors to servants, are not thought of in Ame rica; but in many parts of England the custom is continued in all its ancient foroe. Daring the dull season last summer, there was a de termined attack upon it in the newspapers, but very little effect was produced, (ientlenien furnished statistics to show that it would have cost them less to buy their own shooting-grounds than to accept invitations from friends aud pay pounds to the gamekeepers. Other gentle men ciphered up the amount of money of which they had been mulcted by the uuder strappers at houses which they had honored with visits. The journals, in long, logical, and learned leaders, protested against such Impobitions upon guests. Put when th) ser vants, aggravated beyond endurance, at last rushed into print, aud, with homely pathos but bad grammar, recorded how much extra work the visitors made for them, almost everybody felt that the servants had the best of the dincubsiou. At any rate, to tip Bug lifch servants is the custom, and Americana should not venture upon an exception. It is impossible to offend any Englishman of what are called here "the lower orders" by offering him a shilling. From the policeman who points out your way to the page who ushers you into a drawing-room, they all have itch ing palms. Iu any other oountry you oan aak a question of a street loafor without being solicited for "the price of a pint of beer;" but not in this. Nowhere else is poverty so very hard aud so utterly shameless. Evou in Spain and Italy the beggars are too proud to ask for alms if you address them politnly. AMERICAN ANO ENGLISH BILLS OF FARB. When all has been conceded, the fact re mains that the Americans have by far the belt, most varied, and most extensive hill of fare. I am aware that this is, in a great measure, a matter of individual opinion, aud therefore in all I have said of English dishes I have en deavored to condense the results of a long series of references to other Americans who have visited England. It is suffi cient for me to indorse the verdict of this national jury. I am afraid, however, that the verdict of a jury of Eoglish men who have visited the United States s SO TELEGRAPH riULADKLPHlA, FK1DAY, JANUARY 29, 1869. might be very mncH on the other side. Uutil m-mt'jr I rtippoeed that it wa admitted mat American friiim were mnoh more juiry and Ion -Ions thau the English, with, perhnos, the single exception of the plums. Hat the other day a party of Englishmen, all of whom had been mice to the United Stated, gravely asserted the contrary, and were surprised at my extraordinary lack of disoritniuatiou when I could cot agree with them. Titeir English fruit must nave tipeued upon the sun niest walk may it ever be sol and their American fruit must have been ea'eo before it was matured. This incident has completely shaken my faith in anybody's judgiueut ou the tables ef the two countries, aud I only sub mit thtse paragraphs as a humble contiibution of information on thia most important subjot, which somn great ijnurmtt will, one day, discuss and dacide amhoiitatively. S;ill it l.s kt order for me to protest vigorously against tint spectral canvas-bat k duck which haunts an American at Englii-h dinners as the albatross haunted the Ancient Mariner. The ciuvai-baok duck ia net a fair specimen of American wild fowl. Some people pretend to lik it booause it has the flavor of the wild celery upon which it feeds; but to develop this fltvor the bird ha3 to be cooked quickly before a fUniiog lire, aud eaten almost rav. This dock ia vry expensive in America, and is conse quently value! very highly by epi cures; but the majority of Amori cans would bb soon think of feasting upon uu oooked crows. The wild game of the Ueited States is of a very different character. It may le pretty fairly judged, all things considered, by the prairie-fowl which are sent over to the London markets; but only the breast of thia fowl should be eaten. A wHd turkey is the best of game. Few travellers will deuy that IHlmonico's restaurant, at New York, is to be ranked far above the best restaurants of Paris. There we have the perfection of French cooking applied to a larder more abun dant and more diversified than any in Europe. Put when you go from this restaurant into private families, the same superiority iu the materials and in the engine ia observable, and the lower you descend iu the social scale the better are the dinners by contrast with those of similar classes here. There are tens of thousands of poor families in Kogland who oan afford meat but once a week, if at all; but no corresponding class can be found' in Ame rica. An ordinary laborer lives as well there as a small shopkeeper doea in reat Britain. After all, that i3 a superiority more grand than any which can be established fjr excel lence in particular dishes.
