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.

The fact that, Sillee the substitution of Iron
for \\'ood in the construction of packet ships,
says the New York Tribui,r, and of steam for
wind in their propulsion, our Shipping has

As for the little pin -holes, out of Which the
bristles of the giant have been supposed to

the action of some chemical in the earth."
