A VISIT TO MACAO,
BY THE WANDERE
17
"Go to Macao once and you will go again almost amounts to a proverb in Hongkong, ut there could be no truer saying. To the jaded man of business, to the delicate in search of a
place at which to recuperata, ur to the schemer wanting a quiet spot to batch fresh villany, Macao offers every inducement. Again, to him who simply desires a complete thange of environment and yet must have all the creature comforts he is accustomed 10, or he is not at peace, the "Gom of Southern China" should claim his attention. In the first place it is no trouble to get there, one is well treated when there, and with regret leaves there.
A SPLENDID TRIP.
The old platitude of "Facilities for travel annihilate space" very well applies in this instance and, if time allowed I would rather, as far as comfort is concerned, take mine case on one of the Hongkong, Canton and Macao S. S. Co's boats than rush to Pedders, miss the launch, and eventually bump my way to Kowloon,
There are boats of all descriptions run- ning to Macao, and if you have a grudge against a bosnin friend advise him to go by a small Chinese launch. If you have an enemy, who is a decent fellow, let him go to the Canton Wharf and ship by one of the fine packets built for this special trarle and owned by the II. C. M. & S. Co. This Com pany deserves every credit and universal support for the class steamer they have put

INSOLENT SERVANTS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HONGKong Telegkapit."
DEAR SIR-Will you kindly insert in your esteemed paper for comment a question which I cannot decide myself satisfactorily. It is closely connected with the various questions lately discussed concerning the unruly be haviour of native servants and coolies in the Colony of Hongkong.
How is a European to get due redress if a Chloose servant is insolent, and insults him in Chinese or other language, or, as frequently is the case with coolies, goes su far as to push or strike him.
To my understanding there are only two alternatives;-
If the European is not able to restrain cleanliness. Riding through the native town the himself and gives his offender a cound dressing neck of hilly land is crossed and the pleasant to course I would advise instead of simply bay is reached, and turning to the right, one striking him once), as he is sure not to deny exples the Boa Vista Hotel, Situated on a bluff his conduct, he will certainly be fined at the 200 feet above the sea level, it commands a Magistracy. Whereas the Chinaman: will. view rarely to be equailed and ona on 'enter-naver confess having in any way molested or ring is as pleased with the Internal arrange aggravated the Foreigner, and will never have ments by man as the external by nature. The any difficulty in finding at least, one of his management lay themselves out to please their fellow countryman to testify to the truth of his visitors and one recognises that there is an flotel | assertions, where you retain your personality and do not sink into merely a collection of numerals,
PEACE AND QUIETUDE.
·Tako a walk along the sea front and visit the gardens, notice the well kept paths and roads, see how every vacant space is used to the best advantage. It is not all money grubbing in Macao, but the natural beauty of the place' is continually being enhanced ; and what quiet
relaxation could be finer than to sit in the well laid out grounds and listen to the trained band that plays there.
·
There are such places of Fan Tan houres, as is well known, but I am not qualified to speak therebo; the only thing I know is, that a friend
2.-If, on (the contrary, "the European has the "Virtue of Patience" and confines himself to lodge a complaint to the Police, he is pretty certain to see his case dismissed; in this case, like the previous, the Chinese servant will also produce a Chinese witness ready to take an oath to testify to the innocence of the defendant,
In both alternatives, owing to the weight
the coolle summoned him before the Supreme Couit, for the $12. This morning the coplie was summoned before the Magistracy to answer a charge of "disobeying his master" and fined $3. Mr. S. then offered him the $5 due, and he accepted it, giving a receipt in full, which of course renders the Supreme Court summons null and void. "When the coolie takes a halánće of bis cash account he will be surprised to find that instead of $8. he can only show $3.50 neit $3, having becu absorbed by the fine abd: 1:50. cost of summoning his employer.
