On him devolves tho duty of proparing a bill of fare and of marketing; then ho sees that the other domestics aro fulfilling their duties properly. Over tho kitchen, two housemaids, butler and assistant laundry-woman and stable servants, he has the entire supervision, and if he wishes to discharge bolp he gives his reason and c tmplaint to the mistress of the houso, who acts as she thinks best. All of tho servants, except tho cook and tho coachman, are paid 1 for out of tho President’s salary, and &b there are about ton in all, tho item is no small one. For running expenses—such as repairs—the government allows a certain sum each year.
