DOG HAM.

While "waiting for the return of the coolie, Phillip and myself breakfasted at a fine tea •bop, and the proprietor thinking that his ci'.stomer was a Mandarin, prepared an elaborate meal consisting of a number of . c'ishes and ernong others fried dog ham! When this delicacy was put on the table, mine host made his appearance, and informed me that I was in luck, for he just then happened to have a dog ham in cut, which he had only received from Chung Ching a few days previous. Though aware that the Chinese considered dog hams a delicacy, I was scarcely prepared to be brought iuto coutnet with it; .it may be imagined, therefore, that 1 wag somewhat startled when informed that the unclean flash was actually before me, »nd worse still, had positively made my mouth water by its savoury odour. For a fow minute* prejudice carried all before it, and I was on the point of ordering away the horrid dish, but as Phillip seemed to enjoy it, reason put in appearance, and* argusd bo strongly against prejudice, making such a strong point of the fact that I was a traveller, seeing and noting everything with an impartial eye, that in ordor to prove myself an impartial judge between reason and prejudice I proceeded with stoical fortitude to tasta doggie ; one tutte led to another, and resulted in a verdict of reason ; for in gumming up, after a hearty meal, I pronounoed the dog ham to be delicious in flavour, well smoked, tender, and juicy. The landlord having heard that the Yankjeu, aa that test discovered me to be, had conquered his prejudice, brought in the ham to show me. It was very small—not much bigger than th« leg of a good-sized sucking-pig ; the flesh was dark, and the hair had been carefully removed, while the paw had been left as a stamp of its genuineness, as the proprietor remarked. Dog hams are justly considered a great delicacy in China, and such bring a very high price, cost ing as much as five taels per lb. They are chiefly cured in the province of Hoonan, where dogs of a peculiar breed are fattened for tho purpose. Hoonan is also very famoui for it* pigs, and possesses a large trade in bacon and ham, especially in pig hams, which have been cured in the same tub with dog hams, and are considered thereby to have acquired a finer flavour. — "Travels of a Pioneer of Com merce in Pigtail and Petticoats," «tc.
