Z EPIEY RS OIIN CHINAM A N The following extracts are from an article by Mr. A. D. Richardson, which appears in The Atlantic Monthly for December: What is he doing! John began as a house servant, and still finds most of his employ ment in that capacity. As a natural cook he has no equal, except in the Frenchman. ills person he keeps religiously clean, washing himself all over every day In the year. At first, housekeepers say, he may mix his bread by filling his mouth with water, and then blowing it out over the flour ; but a little training soon cures him of this. Ile is ready to sweep, to make beds, and to walk of errands —for John is deliberate, and seldom runs. Intrust children to his care, and he will dandle them in his arms, or trundle them in their carriages, or' amuse them with playthings, with the same calmness, sobriety, and patience which he Nould bring to the building of the Great Wall. Labor is so abundant in his na tirecountry that he has been taught to do everything with the nicest carefulness, with the most absolute tharoughness. lie is mighty in the laundry. Ile does up shirts like an ar tist, and never largets to sew on the buttons. In Sacramento, night after night, I heard at short intervals, from my hotel windows, a pe i culler "whir—whir—whir," in the street be low. At first I fancied that it must be "de , ' critn night-waechter" of Hans Breitman, giv ing the all's-well signal to his comrades. But finally I discovered that the sound came from a Chinese laundry just across the street, where John was sprinkling clothes by blowing water : upon them through a hollow reed. Usually I be sprinkles them directly from his mouth, a process better adapted to linen than to bread. That laundry, I believe, was never closed, by day, by night, or on Sunday. John has always taken kindly to mining. In vain did the State impose an extra and un just tax upon him ; he. paid it—when he was obliged to—and contieued to work like a bea k ver. In vain did white men drive him out when he found a rich lead. lie only fell back to delve away in some abandoned placer ; and If he earned sl'a day he would save inure money in the course of a year than the Amer ican who took out $5 from richer diggings. But he could not be exclusively house.ser rant, washerman, and miner. Gradually he took up other pursuits. He proved extremely useful as a farm-hand ; and he has pressed more and more into that employment. Just now, the Democratic politician of California, a little bewildered to find his ancient cry of "nigger" nn longer effective, hi lustily shout : ing Chinaman" instead ; but he employ's Johnny on his ranch, in his vineyard, his I dwelling, his store, and his factory, just as his Republican neighbor does. Diligent inquiry has not brought to my knowledge a single in stance of his discriminating in favor of " the Interests of white labor," where it has involved the expenditure of one additional dollar per month. In the remote antiquity of five years ago, half a dozen Sacramento gentlemen began to build the Pacific Railroad. White labor was I not merely costly ; it was absolutely unattain , able. Chinamen, therefore, were brought in, and in the Spring of 1865 they began to swarm upon the Sierras like flies upon a honeycomb. So deep was the hostility against them that it was found necessary to give them military protection until their growing numbers en abled them to defend themselves. At last twelve thousand were working upon the road. But for theni the locomotive would not have rolled across the continent for two years yet. i The company, after four years of trial, reported - 1 that they had proved nearly as efficient as Irish laborers for the hardest kind of work, 'I and far more tractable and trustworthy. Strikes, drunken brawls, bloody riots, were all unknown among them. They did, without question, murmur, or delay, whatever they I were told to do. They slid not stop for Sun day ; nor (11(1 any one else employed on the road ; tint about once in ten days John would take a holiday. Ile received from $3O to $:?5 per month in gold. Of this he would save 1 front $2O to s2:t, and send the most of it home to China. The company are so well satisfied : with his work that they no longer confine hint ' to construction and repairs, but are introduc ing him into their operating force. Ile begins j to tied employment, too, upon the Union Pa- I cific line—from I to Utah—which at one 1 time was paying $4 per (lay currency to Pat, while the Central obtained John for $1 in gold. Ile is working upon the new roads which are building in California, and ultimately will be ! engaged upon all our great public works: Simultaneously with his appearance upon the Central Pacific Railroad another great avenue was opened to him. An enormous woolen-mill had been erected in San Francis co, at a cost of three- q uarters of a million of dollars. Its products were exceedingly pop ular ; for California woolen !mods then, RS now, were the best made in the 'United States ; but financially it was a Milure. I.(mis McLane. one of the most sagacious business men on the coast, was induced to make a searching'(!xam illation into its affairs. Ile reported to the stockholders : " Dear labor is the obstacle to your success. Slop paying American work men three dollars a day, and substitute China ' men nt a dollar ani a quarter. and then you Iwill make money." The suggestion scum ! adopted—of course, against the fiercest oppo. sitiun. Were not the yellow 111011 inking the bread out of the mouths of the white arm I Now the company employs 450 Chinamen, at . $1 per day, the workmen boarding themselves. Some do not earn more item 30 rents, and others'are worth $2 ; but they are paid through their agent at the rate of $1 for each, and left to distribute the compensation among them selves. After five yearli . experience, they are found perfectly satisfactory as operatives. and they are now employed in nearly or quite every one of the dozen woolen-factories on the &last. John makes boots, and shoes, and clothing, and all the cigars that are manufactured in California. Ile peddles fish, fruit, and 'vege tables. Ile finds tilnindnnt employment In the great vineyards and orchards. Give him a cluster oh' grapes or a pear for a sample, and he'will pluck from trees or vines all fruit at the same stage of ripeness, with the greatest precision. Occasionally he appears in the character of a merchant. Ile is at the head of some very heavy San Francisco firms, which are branches of old houses in China. Here he is noted for exactness and fair dealing, and often fur high commercial ability. Many American houses, both city and country, deal. with Ifini, partic ularly in teas and rice, and accord to him that I'hearty respect winch braiiis and success usually I command. A dozen of the Chinese merchants of San Francisco are men of great Wellltit ; some are partners in Hong- Kong firms which are reputed to possess a capital of $50,000,000. The six who assisted at the hick Rouse au- T quet are men conSpienous for culture, charac ter, and eilpßeity. OM' of them, Fung-Tang, I speaks Chinese, Japanese, French, and tier ! man with fluency, and replied to a toast in I English ba one of the most pointed, sensible I. and compact dinner-speeches that the Eastern ! guests had ever heard. It would be difficult to find another spectacle it once so inelan j cholv and so ludicrous as that of a Senator of the baited States resenting the presence of such men nt a public banquet as 1111 indignity to himself and his race ! * Ills advance into the highly-skilled industries is sharply contest." but his sure Mogress demonstrates that tiff — things are his who has patience. Thus far, in this anomal ous life of California, labor has been stronger than capital, and 1111 H had things much in its own way. . In hand or placer mining. John has been graciously allowed the gleaninp, but quartz mining has been closed to him. Not only has he been kept from digging ore in the shafts and reducing it under the stamps but even when owners have employed him to cut and haul wood for the mills, he has been driven away with riot and bloodshed. Cali fornin workingmen are in many respects the most intelligent in the world ; but they some times show a narrowness and ignorance wor thy of the dark ages. More ihnn once they have presented the astonishing spectacle of skilled laborers, in a country of free schools and cheap newspapers, resisting with violence the introduction of a new Invention, on the ; ground that it dimished the necessity for hand I labor ! A hundred years ago there might have been some excuse ; but at this day every American might to know that, any ingenious contrivance which makes iron, or steel, or steam, or chemical conbinations, do the work of human muscles, tends inevitably to his ul timate benefit and that of his children. Very recently California miners united in a strike against the use of a new powder In the quartz veins, because it is so much more powerful than the old that it renders less drilling neces sary. No wonder that such men should resist the cheap labor of nit alien race. " " .What manner of man' is he I Very black of hair, very low of stature, and not a thing Of beauty. In laughter lie shows his gums hor ribly. But he la Seldom The Mr Who Laughs, except among his own mates. '"With Americans, when he Is not addressed, he Is Immovably serene, silent, and serious. He Is a born gambler. Whatever his age or condition, games of chance—with ludicrously : trifling stakes—possess a wild fascination for him. Every California town has its Chinese quarter ; every Chinese quarter abounds in gambling.houses. On the Subject of opium, too, the variance between his theory and his practice reveals the human nature strong with in hint. Opium-smoking, he Invariably avers, is bad, very bad ; and yet, six out of every seven idlers whom one meets on an evening walk through the Chinese quarter show indeli ble evidence of the habit written on their jaded, ghastly faces. He is gregarious': Ile , must have, not one, hut several friends, to whom to whisper, " Solitude is sweet." No practicable pecuni ary temptation will induce him to come to the Eastern States, unless half a dozen or a dozen of his comrades are to accompany him and to live with him. lle loves to dwell In towns. Even as a house-servant, he • does not sleep under his master's root', if he can avoid it, but goes to the Chinese quarter to spend every Sight with his comrades. He will work as late as he is wanted, however, without com plaint, and he will be at hand at any required hour in the morning. Ile is a great night bird, and his turn is convivial. Be and his mates join in frequent little suppers, which they keep up until nearly daylight. The ma terials for these nocturnal banquets are be lieved to be contributed, unwittingly, by John's employer, and brought away surrepti tonsly'in John's basket. His mistress often keeps her most valuable stores locked up, and issues only a week's supply to him at a time ; but he is Frugality embodied, and can make gleanings enough for the midnight suppers, and sometimes, perhaps, for supplying himself with pocket-money besides. Ask him why he will not lodge in his em ployer's house, and he replies that he and his friends like to meet at night, and tell each other what they have learned during the day. It Is doubtless their custom to instruct newly arrived servants in household matters. Just as he is going away at night, John will often question his mistress us to how she compounds a particular kind of cake, or accomplishes some other triumph of cookery ; and, In answer to her inquiring look, will explain that he wishes to tell a friend who had not been here long. John prizes the pennies. An offer of half a dollar more per month may take him away from a household to which he seemed warmly attached. But his people are so numerous in California that it is easy to 811 their place. Agents of the Chinese Company, on furnish ing a servant, warrant him for one year, and if he runs away or proves dishonest, send a substitute instead. Still, ladies who wish to avoid changes often keep John's pay a half a dollar or a dollar in arrears to make sure that he will not leave without fair notice. Girls in California, for general housework, receive, in gold, $2O per month and upward. China men obtain about the same prices; though some skilled cooks obtain front $2l to $4O, and boys are hired us low as $lO. Governor 13laisdel, of Nevada, tells me that he leaves his house for weeks and sometimes months In the sole charge of his Chinese steward, without the least apprehensions. Such trust is not un common, though of course it is sometimes abused. A firm in San Francisco lately found tino a Chinaman, who had been with them for years and was trusted as fully as the partners themselves, had stolen several thousand dol. Mrs worth of goods little by little. Still, on the whole, tile Chinese compare favorably in point of honesty with houseservants of any other nationality obtainable in America. In general morality they scent to be superior to every other class of masculine servants. Some ladies fear to' trust. them with their little slaughters ; yet, 'with their almost universal employment, I have only hearth of a single, in stance in which ally impropriety was attempt ed by them. In quietness, tractableness, teachableness, and imitativeness they are cer tainly unequaled. Ford's history of Illinois relates that in the early days of 'Unions, the only question the settlers asked about a new-comer was, I. Will he steal ?" If that could be answered in the negative, they regarded him as an eminently desirable acquisition, an eminently respecta ble man. John can stand the !UMW test, his enemies to the contrary notwithstanding. Many of our Chinese immigrants came from the coast ;.their lives at home were spent on the water, and. they belonged to the poorest, most ignorant. and degraded class. Their treatment in California, too, has given them unusual provocations to crime ; and the cruel laws which forbid their testifying against white men In the courts have greatly aggravated•the disadvantage at which their .Ignoranee of our language alone would he sufficient to place them. Soule of them now confined in the California and Nevada penitentiaries are be lieved to be wholly Innocent of the offenses for which they were sentenced.. And,"yet, notwithstanding all these drawbacks, the pub lic records of both States show that the per centage of Chinamen. convicted of crime is much smaller than that of foreigners' in gen eral, and but a trifle larger than that of our native-born population. Furthermore, the six companies, to some one of which Min al ways belongs, exercise such paternal care that no Chinese beggar is ever seen In the streets of San Francisco, and no Chinese patient in the public hospitals. And the first Chinaman unable to read his own language has yet, to make his appearance in California.

These lines are established and owned in countries where capital is cheap, anti where the Governinents realize a necessity for well organized steamship lines, and to secure such pay large subsidies. The French line has front its Government a large loan of money without interest ; the Bremen line, has a lloat• ing debt, on which tiny pay but four per cent. interest.

As for the little pin -holes, out of Which the bristles of the giant have been supposed to have sprouted, Nlr. Palmer refers them "to the action of some chemical in the earth." In some parts of the statue are signs of the employment of tools in common use at this time among the sculptors. " A vertiahle statue," says this eminent statuary, clearly no petrified giant.''
