The gates are of wood and consist of three portions; the central portion of two leaves, gayly painted with allegorical figures, is only used by the mandarin himself, his equals, or his superiors; the two side entrances, half the breadth of the cen- tral, by servants and officials of sub- ordinate degree. If the yamen is a large one, there are two roofed or- chestra boxes, one at each side of the entrance, and some fifty or one hun- dred feet from it outside, and as the visitor enters in his palanquin these orchestra boxes discourse music in the shape of Chinese airs of the squeakiest description. If the visitor is entitled to a salute (mever more, never fewer than three “guns’’), three iron mortars are fired off by a man with a long stick, just as the visitor enters the gate, Military men are supposed to go on horseback, and in order to keep this semblance of manliness often have their nag led behind the chair, but, roundly speaking, it may be said that in these degenerate days all visits are made in chairs. One would have thought that, with so many doors and a sedan chair welcomed by guns and music the entrance of a visitor would have been a simple matter. But no; with Europeans the question is, or used to be raised whether the middle door shall. be opened at all, and, however carefully the appointment may have been made, the mandarin or one of his servants generally manage to keep the chair waiting for a few minutes just to “take a rise” out of the visitor. Dur- ing this mauvais quart d’heure all the boys and roughs in the neighborhood congregate noisily and make rude re- marks; the chairbearers, anxious to rest, support their burden on two groggy poles, which wabble about and threaten to collapse the whole ma- chine.
