. CHURCH DEDICATION. The Exercises atthe First Preg- byterian Church Yes« : terday. The New Structure of One of Our Oldest Societies. In Chicago, to-day, nothing looks natural but thepooplo. Wo movo all the week through now streots, go wonderingly in and out of now places ot buslnoss, and mistake those of our neighbora for our own, ride admiringly on new omnibus rontes, and Liavo altogother the soneation of hay- ing beondropped from somo giddy hoight plump down into a new town, Nothing comos botte to the reliet of our dszod condition than the faces of old cltizens who know the old Chicago. But for these, and thelr assuranco that tho oventa of tho past sixtoon months are roal, thero isnot s man of uaswho would be surprised to wake upsomo morning to find his head shaved and blistered ontirely bald, and learn from med- {cal attondnnts that ho had heon out of his mind ainco onrly in Octobor, 1872; that thore was no fire, o now city; that old thinga had not passed oway and all things bocome novw, But & Ohicago nudionco, lookihg in one an. other's facos, gots mssurance of reallty, andto sit down among the associatos of our wonderful cxporionces a8 o community gives us all that we shall knoiv or oxperience of a homo fooling until wo got wonted to the New Ohloago. Yestorday thoro was a notablo gathoring of this class, tho asgembling of o vast audienco in tho now houso of worship of our oldest Prosbyterian Church organization, in the dolieatory sorvices of . the First Prosbytorian Church, on Indiana avenue, ot Twonty-first stroet. Thore aro a fow who yot romain, and resent being called old, who thought it n groat achiovoment in local ecolosinstical au- nals to gathor round Rev. Joremich Porter, forty yonrs ngo, whon thia Church was {irat ostablishod in the gnrricon times. Thero wera those who #at in tho splendid tomple yestorday, who used to rido through the mud of our prairio streets in two-whooled carts, oron horsoback, to make s perilous landing in front of tho firat smell wooden tabornacle on Olark straot, just north of the pres- ent Shorman Honse, A list bofore us containg * ‘the namos of quite a number prosont yosterday, who put their eignatures to the stupendous undortaking of building the first brick church, on the corner of Clark and Washington stroets, where good earnest Doctor Curtis ministored for 80 many years, while tho shabby town bogan to put on city airs. For yoars after ita erection, it was in the outskirts of businces, and by tho Vnr¥ Iine of construction of the building, stip~ ulated jn tho dcod of purchaso from P. F. W, Pock, tho edifico was o located as not to impair tho residenco charaotor of Clark street, hen busincss invaded those procincts, and tho ro- moyval to Wabssh avenuo, near Congross stroot, _took place in 1856, And whon that admirablo clorgyman, whose name will long live in Chicago, Rov. Dr. flumphmy, in his dedicatory sermon suggosted that it would not bo long bofora busi- noss would ngain forco & change of sito, an in- eredulous smilo ran round the faces of his au- dienco, for tho troa-emboyrered avenus, not then paved, gava little tokon of such a futuro, As {8 woll known to our oity readers, as tho result of tho gmut firo the TFirst Preul:g:urlnn Churoh Boclety consolidated with tho Calvary Presbyterian, which was just beginning to emerqo from the strugglo with_the diffioulties of establishing churches in tho suburbs, apparently Inseparable from such entorprises, Rov, Arthur Mitcholl, tho pnstor of the formor, assumod tho dutios of thonow field, From such oxporionces ond with guch romombrances the assembly of yostorday gathered at the morning servicein what is ono of tho handsomeat churches, and cortainly one of tho handsomost church audi- enco rooms,in the West. It deservestobe stated that the oxterior of the church was nlready yell developod at the timo of tha fire, and represonts what waa a grave undortaking for the Oalvary Bociety, whilo tho advanced charnoter of the iu- torior marks quite as strougly tho accession of matorizl wenlth, the result ‘of thounion. Tho First Preslyterion stands to-day ono of the woalthiest and most prosperona churches in the YVost, and its poople have built what they have aid for, nnd will not bo heard of in-the New Eugland hill churches nsking for aid, - T'ho edifico we Lave alroedy described in more detail than our spaco allows here. It would heve mado tho excollont architect, J, 0. Cochrane,two Inches tallor if ho could, at the outset, have ro ceivod tho carte blanche order for the First Pres- byterian Church, justead of lnwing to study how to meot tho more_slender domands of Calvary, but ho bas wrought well with his matonal, and tho building, in its fino red Philadelphin brick, rolioved with brown stonc, and ita tall, shapoly spire, tho highest in tho city, {8 an ornhmont to efim part of tho city. Within, the arrangemonts aro admirable, A basoment, that is not subter- . ranean, gives & beautiful lecturo-room and apart- ments for sociabies, committoos, and the pas- tor's study, Above is the beautiful main audi- enco-room, aivy, light, cheerful, judiciously goatod, with galloricd that aro an ornamont a3 well a8 an utility, and among tho 2183 pows, not ono goat whero tho listonor must crano his neck to soo tho speaker,—a room pleasant to sit in, and with o lovishnoss of decoretion, gonerous without garishness, and full without overloading. ‘Tho nudiencowa have already characlorized as comprising o multitude of familinr foces of (hose who are growing old in Chicago, the only foatures of our early duy lett being the features they carry with them, Rev. Arthur Mitchell, tho pastor, was aesisted in the sorvicos by Rov. Prof, Tiske, of tho Chi~ eago Theological Beminary. The fino organ contributed its sharo to tho oxercises, its qual~ ities having a fow cvenings provious been woll eatablished nmong our music-lovors by the Organ Concort, After tho introductory sorvicos, the petor preeched a sormon, mxinP for Lis theme he Church, its Emvlucn, what {¢ should aim to recomplish, both in the eodifico and the func- tiona tho building is design~d to aid, It was evident that the good pastor had & little twingo of conscience lest tho prosent bouso might be a little too fing, and yeb b fairly precented tho arguments for claborate and olegant church conatruction among commu~ nities Wherathis scalo wus in keoping with the menns and style'of living of tho worshippers.

It was ovident that Mr. Mitchell does not intend that his flock shall Iapao onsily to moral and religions slumbor on thoir crimson-lined bonches, and deom their ghare in church construction cnded, Indeed, na on carneat of the work before them, they wore busy yesterday -afternoan dedicating the new Railroad Nission Chnpel, * free to all,” on State etreot, nonr Fourteonth, At the close of tho discourse, the following :lxxeurch ofticors took their places in front of the ar : Truerers—IH, C, Durand, D, W.

From the Noaton Qlobe. In viow of the attention whichhas beon lately excited in our polico system and that of other American citios, it is worth while to study that of Parlg, which is acltnowlodged to Lo tho best in tho world, On the maxim, “not n thiet to catch n thief," Vidoeq, n notorious convict, was taken from the gallays into tho sorvice of {lio Fronoh . Govorn- mont, It washowho established, in 1817, tho dotectivo corps still oxisting and known ns Lo Bureto. His oxcoptional ability onabled him to effact somo motable captures, but the systom which, under him and Coco-Lacour, his successor —nnothor profesaional thiof—way fairly tried, dovoloped such evils that it had to boabandoned. In 1883 tho .corps was dissolved, and recon- structed on o ditferont basie. In viow of tho tomptations of thoir position, of which bribory was tho most dangoroug, it wos all imporiant to socura men on the force who should be both ablo and thoorruptible, The difienlt tnsk was finally n.ecamé)lluhcd, and tho moral charactor of the individuals composing La Bureto, who aro nenr- 1y all marriod mob, and fathors of familios, hng been, and s, tho bost nssurance of thoir eftl- clonoy. This corps, which leops in chouk tho whole eriminal population of Parig, consista of gbout 150 persous, whose skill in the doteotion of crimo amounts almost to intuition. Their observation, memory, and judsment are so sharpencd by oxporience that thoy avo enabled to dotormine from a few tritling indications the circumstances of ocase and the offendor con- corned in it, Cauler is said to have discovored the cluo ton murdor from four words writton on o picce of papor, in which some bLutter was wrapped uylw, and numerous inatancon are on roc- ordin which tho most ingignificant signs havo beon mado the basis of successful doteciive op- orations. Bomo time ago, n convict escaped from Oay- enno was ascortained to bo working as o carpen- ter in & shop in the Faubourg Balug Antoine, On the protonse of an urgeut job lio was induced to go out, rud was speodily takon to tha Prefec- ture in a cab. His protastations wero siloncod by the exactnoss with which tho Chicf of Polico doscribed his past exporioncen : ** Your uamois go and go; you bave beon condemnod to ton ears of ponal gervitude; you iled through tho {)mch possessionn 3 you reside:: in London in such o place; you camo to Iranco through Cnlais ; ‘you nro tattooed on tho 1oft arm ; you Bavo o ymall 1o mark under the right noal Thovo it {8, Donial is ngeless, aud you had bl ter admit all.” The partionlarily and procision of these atatoments astoundod the convict, who at onco confeagod his identity, It s curious to learn how all this information was obtained, and it is hardly necossary to say thab tho police, on such oceaslous, avail thomeolvey of tho ussiutancs of confod- oralos. 'Theso ara chosen among vaeleased convicts, who, in oxchange for the information thoy impart, aro allowed cerlain fmmunities nnd romunoration, but receive no rogular puy. In £act, tho condition of thoir reslding in Taria do- ponds, in many cases, npon their ncting as spios upon eriminals, Thoy put the Inspectors on the track, and their rewavd is graduated to tho na- turo of tho orime, boing five francs for every plain vobbory, twonty-five for overy burglary or robbory with violonco, and fifty for overy murdor which they have holped to forret out. In thus aviiling thomselves of the Inowledgo of erim- inals in regard to tho n‘mrg\fimm of their fellows, without, however, cmploying them oxcept in o subordingte capavity, the Pavis ofticinls are en- abled to keop an eflactive checl-on the danger- ous classes, Lyen condemued criminaln nro found ready to discloss the acts of others for tha snke of sonio elight improvemont in tho dict or. tho privilego of semainingin TParisPonitontiary instend of belng tranaforred to the country. ‘Tho provention of crimo is also offacted by tho agents of Lo Burete by keoping such n sur- veillanea over suspicious’ characters that thoir slightest movoments ara lnown, and, if nccos- sary, guordod againat. _'Tho oyes of tho detoct- ivon aro everywhere, and such is their knowledge of physiognomy that o chance look, n casual twitchiug of thomouth, aro wufiloiont Indlcationn of the manner in which tho criminal muy bo in- ducod to rovoal his secreots. Sympathy and kind- nees ave the meana by which meny offenders aro made useful instruments of justico. The ordi- nary polico forco of uergeants do ville keop such o clogo inspection of all tho inmatea of the lodging hiousos of Paris that tho labors of tho dotectives aro groatly simplified. Rogisters of overything and everybody may bo ‘found at the offices of tho Prefecture ; and tho person- al history and aliases of all eriminals, with tho antecodents of overy person charged with tho slighteat misdemennor, are recorded for futuro reforenco chould tho oceasion require. Notwithstanding the fact that the polico of Y'ariy aro intrusted with secrots out of which fortunes might bo made, it Is sald thet of tho 6,661 ngonts undor tho ordera of tho Prefocture, only ono instonco has occurred of an individual sooking to profit by an adventure in which he was con- corued. While {he minuto supervision which the Paris polico oxorcises over the aftaivs of in- dividuals and the public might not be relished nmong us, it is worth considering whether gome of the fentures of tho systom might not ho <. antageouely adopted hore. If the anthori- ties of Seotlund Yard nsl advico in critical cases from the authorities in the Ruode Jorusalem, w6 may certafuly lenrn somothing from tho mon and meapurce that havo given a world-wido vepufation to tho Paris polico, < A WOMAN BEHEADED. .
