A PASSPORT TO IMMORTALITT. A young man at Ghenon bas for a long time past been pondering over thie various ways and. mesns by which ne might get his name known throughout the length and breadth of the land. At first he thought of committing infanticide on a Primary School, and 80 wipinz out the record of Kinz Herod! then he thuught he'd turn architect and build an Ephesian dome. and have it wipe out mora people in a day than Mallett conld fus_year with the whole Treasury Department at his back; then he concluded that he would bave the Associated Press announce him as an 0ld-Line Whig; then he decided upon sending the Jierald o lot of bis recolletions of Utah, where, indeed, he never waa. All of these suzgestions, however, lic dismissed as fmpracticable. Finally a happy thought struck him. He wroteto nine differcnt patent medicine men to say that he bad been for years a sufferer from jaundice, liver com- platnt, piles, dyspepsia, varicose veins, Aick-head- ache, hearalzis, zout, ad pulmonary consumption, and had spent millions and millions of dollars upon doctors of all schools, but vainly, till nine different friends induced Lim to try nine different remedies, to-wit: Flud Extract of Birch Broom, Liver In- spiriting Pills, Anti-ilemorrhoidal Galvanic Sus- penderx, Pepstne Cocktails, Medicated Electric Silk Stockings, Exsence of Truncated Cauliflower, Am monisted Antimonial Powders, Combined Colcbicam and Corlander ‘Gont Exterminator, and Cod-Liver 0il Salad Dressing ard Tonsorial Lubricator. After using two bottles of these respective medicines, his several complaints bezan to disappear, and ia from two to seven weeks he was jointly and sev- erally able to digest Berea grindstones and Clark Strect strawberry short-cake, run nine miies in 473, throw threc back-handsprings bLefore Drealk:fust without the use of glassee, and had ined sixty-eight pounds in flesh, besides having i hair curl and his mustache come out. By next December he is firmly convinced tint his name will e in the mouths of millious of people and his por- trait be transiated into all the tongues of the wortd.

Justbefore entering the room ¥he would slap her checks four or five times o 88 to raike 4 few bumning blushes, rumple her hair a litte, twist her collar out of gearing, and slip her brother's ring upon her dnger. She informed a TRIBUNE reporter in confidence that the old thing never fuiled to work. Invariably the fel- Jow’s girl would fire up, and, approaching her with illy-dizgniscd nonchalunve, ask what “they had been talking about. The younz lady woutd cast down lier esce and blush, and say, with hesitation, that they had been discussing Safvet Pasha’s reply 10 the Andrasiy note, or the I'resident’s imstruc- tions to the Louisiana Commission. and when the fellow's girl would, with artful artlessness, say, ““My! what 1 lovely new ring. T never suw it bex fore. Let me mec it, please. Where did you it?" she wonld appear confused. and put the ring in her pocket, and sy it was only an old one. And then, about half an hour later, when tbat girl's fellow came 1o #ee her homa—! EVIL EFPECTS OF A POLICEMAN’S FRIENDSHIP. It 18 all very well 10 be on speaking or even on intimate terms with 3 policeman, csvecially if you are subject to epileptic fits on Suturday pights, but such an acquaintance i not without its disadvan- tages. Frinstance, the other day, as a young man was going along Clark street, a fricnd of his on the force hailed him near Madison saying loudly unto him, **Hullo. where are you off to in‘such a hur- ryt I've been looking for you for some time past®** then walked along with him toward Monroe, from rofessional Labit or out of affection, placing his iand caressingly from time to time on the young man's shoulder. Atthe cornerof Monroe street they parted, the officer going on alony Clark and the young man tumning down. to the Post-Office. The young man didn't think any- thing of the occurrence, but a couple of hours Jater he stepped into a billiard-roons, where the proprietor greeted him with a prolonged étare and Tremarked, **Hullo, 1 didn't expect tosee yon here to-day, " accompanying his remarks by cer- iain mysterions signs. The young man didn't answer, but took a drink and walked out, thinking that probably the proprietor had been tarrying long at the whisks. = On Lif way along the street e observed that cvery one of his_ acquaintances whotn he met stared at him and eaid, ** Hulle, when dia you get outt” as if he had been sick and was only.now convalescent. When he met two of them together, they would, sfter saluting him, whisper to each other mysterionsly and tum to look after him. His irst impreasion was that may- be he something tied to his coat- tails, or a black spot on his nose, or something; bot on taming into a saloon and examining himeeif in the big mirror le found nothing wrong with Ins personal appearance. At this moment e heard his name mentioned in_ con- versation In the little snuggery off the saloon, and, listening attentively, was rewarded by nearing the following conversation: **And Smith has zoue up” ¢+ ¥es, u fellow told me that saw the oflicer taking him along Clark street to the station. 1lle had good nerve, too, for be kept smiling and chin- ning with the policeman all the time, a3 if he knew bim and thev were taking a walk together for pleasure.” **Did they put the come-alongs on nimY" ‘*No, he went quictly; but the peeler kept lis hand on his shouider for fear he might bolt.

A curious and interesting story comes from Paris, where a younz Chicagoan had been soending some time. Aboat a month ago, as he with some fricnds was seated 1n o cafe, he was inaunlted grossly by a profeesional bully and duciist to whom Puul de Caesegnac is eaid 1o be mild as mother's milk, The Cliicago man was very timid, to use the mildest word of which his case admits; be was unacquainted—on very distant terms in’ deed—with #words ana fireasme, and the aight of blood made him eick. However, his friends, the honas of the American flaz,—a good _deal more anxious in all human _ probabilit; than if it had been ntrustedto their individual care,. gisted that be must fight, und by a julicious uze of stimulants in- duced bim to sepda challenge. This step taken they relied upor the natural courage and pride in- nate in every Chicagoun to keep him all ht. The fatal morning came, and the enrazed duelists confronted cach other on the Belgian fronticr. **Keep cool,” said the Chicago mun's secoud. ** Keep cool and stick your sword into him—that's all you have to do; ncver mind anyof his mon- key shines, but go fn just as if he belonged to St Lot and hadw't them tom-cat mustaches.™ Despite theso comforting avsurances, and others to the effect that if the womt came to the worst they would telezraph to his mother, and have his remains pat up in ice and shipped C.'0.

ANOTHER CHARLEY ROSS CASE. A new development of crime has been made man- ifest i Chicago, and one which will undoubtedly sttract much attention. It would sppear that's genuine case of kidnapping has to be recorded, and it -i8 to be feared that the unfortunaie little victim has been g0 carefally bestowed that his return to his sorrowing parents is something more than problematical. Last Thursday afterncon, between 1 and 2 o'clock, Sylvester Dean, baggagemanat the Ilinols Central depot at Twenty-second street, left his home accompanied by his wife znd little son Willie, 5% years old. Alr. and Mra. Dean have roonis in the upper part .of the depot, bat were looking out for another residence. On reaching Calumet avenue they sent the little boy back home, and the mother watched him until he arnived with- in Dbalf u Dblock of the house. As he was accustomed to run uround the depot they bad no fear about leaving him, aud ft was not until their return, about 5 p. m., that any snxiety was felt about b As toc evening wore on, the parents becaute greatly excited, and it was decided to notify the police that the child was missing, The telegraph wae at once called into use and the different stations furnirhed with a description of the child. who was supposcd to huve simply strayed away. 1ut a ditferent complexion was put on the affair the next worning. Mrs. Granger, Mrs, Gilmore, sud some other ladies residing on Twenty-second street, heanng that the child was lost, *remewm- Dbered that they had seen him on the previous day IN COMPANY WITH SOME ITALIAN MUSICIANS. Mre. Granger noticed the chiid playing sround while the Italiau—two boysand a girl —were favor- ing the residents with their apology for music. “This wus about 22:30 p. ., and un Lour or so later another neighbor saw the four yoing down the street, thegnrl apparently persusding little Willic to go with them. This mews frghtened the parents, but for soine inexplicable resson 0 action \as taken by the police until yesterday morning. When it becume upparent that the case was i serious one Otlicers Farrcll and Muhoney of the Twenty-sccond Streot Station were detailed to work it up. A During the day the officers succeeded 1n arresting a boy sbout 14 years of age, und about us bad- looking a specimen as was ever seen, and a girl perhaps two years bis junior. The boy was caged at the Central Station, and, the services of uu Italian policeman_Veins secured, an attempt was made 1o ascerain what e fnew of the matter. The youngster, who is a Sicilian by birth, couldn’t speak the same kind of Italian as the ofticer; indecd, it is doudtful whether bhis italian was less intelligible thun his English, or the contrury. Ile professed, buwever, a will- ingness to show the police where the tuissing boy wis, and succeeded in lending them a wiid-goose chase sround town, of counse without result. The girl, who ¥peaks very fair English, was locked up at the Cottage QGrove Avenue Stution, and pro- fessed entire sgnorance of the child’s whereabouts. Although very young, the girl scemed to be ex- smart, and determined neither to give or auy Of her friends away, OTUER ARRESTS. Later in the day Rusa Mcida, whom the boy eaid was his eister, and her busbund, Joseph Meida, were brought in and todged at_the Armory, They also could not or wonld not speuk in any intetligi- ble tongue, and disclaimed a8 tar as they couid uny knowledge of the misuing ciuld. 'The whole gang are of the lowest possible order, dividing their en- ergies between rag-picking and strect-nusic, and are residents of Fourth svenue, near the classic precincts of Twelfth street. Last cveningn reporter visited the house of Mr. Dean and found the bereaved purents there. In addition to the facts given above, they stated that the cnild was very fond of music, and that the Italians had been around the neighborhood for two or three weeks. The missing boy has light har, haze! eyes, and a fair complexion. He wore a black at bluck kuec-pants, brown striped stockinge, aud a brown _straw hat. Haundbills offering s reward of $500 for his return have been issued, and the feeling in the neighborhood e onme of intense anxiety about the eafety of the child, and of eympathy for the parents. The police, as usual when anything comes up with ‘which they are unable to grapple, arc excessively mysterions over the allair, but ex- press themselves confidently as to finding the missing boy. It is understood thet the authorities of the Illinoia Central ‘Railroad will co-operate ‘with their employe, and will leave no means un- used to bring to justice the scoundrels who have stolen away hischild. The motive of the kidnup- ping is not 80 apparent as it would be if the pa- rents were wealthy, in which case something in the nature of ransom might be exacted, 1t is sup- posed, however, that the Jtalians thonght the child, anqmisually bright and intelligent little fellow, might be usefal to them in passing around the hat, and ventured on the crime for this reason.

The first of these was aguinst Buffalo Miller, A. C. Hesing, John J. Montague, Willinm Cooper, and George Miller. Judgment in this case was obtained on a distiller's ‘bond for $80, 000 along in Apnil of last year. There was also a sum of $S0,044.42, noted in the execution as ‘-damages,” which repre- gents the amount the Government sued for and obtained judgment for, and vut of which the defendunts defrauded the Government in their whigky peculations. Thislatter sum the Marshal wasd instructed to secure, if possible, by levging upon property to that amount, the collection of which smount was to satisfy the full judzment. The other twwo pavers were ngainst Roelle, Junk- er & Co., the total amount clajmed by the Govern- ment for dumayes being 324, 553,70, and the nom- inal debt, $48,011. ‘To issue executions is one thing.

THE FIRST ENTRY INTO CHICAGO. _ 70 the Editor of The Tribune. LPMay 25, 1837, wasa cloudy, cold, drizzly day, Wwitha northeast wind. The remembrance waaim- pressed on my mind, 48 it was the day of my first grrival in Chicago. Coming into town from the Eost viz Michigan City and Thornton, the first house of any size was thatof H. B, Clarke, just south of Old strect, now Sixteenth, where St. Paol's Universalist Church now stands, The pext 1 consplcuons dwelling was that of George W. Snow, on e west side of Stale streer, between Jaokson and Van'Buren strects. Mr. John Wright's house was at the corner of Madison and Michigan avenue, and north of that the ground ecast of State. street was vacant untd the log-house of J. B. Beaubien was reached, and bis house was close to Fort Déarborn. Just west of Fort Dearborn was the light-hooze. . The Jog houses within the pickets were occupied by the families of oflicers enguged on the hurbor work and wo or three citizens’ families, Chicago, of those days, has been too often described to interest your renders, but it may interest them to comparc the methods of travel of that time with the present. One bright May morning I took the stage-coach in- a New Hampshire town and rode fifty miles to Boston, and the next day took the care for Provi- dence,” where steambost was tuken for the {rip _through the Sound to New York. From New York o steamboat was taken for Al- bany. At Albany cars were iaken again. The cars were hagled up un inclined plane frdm Albany by stationery machinery, and by similar machinery lowered ‘nt Schenectady. At Utica passaze was taken on o safe and_speedy canal packct-boat for Buffalo, and I arrived on thne at_Buffalo, where it was vxpected to get u steamboat for the West, but the fce was 50 packed in that a ride of thirty-three miles fn a common lumber-wagon was neceseary to Silver Creek, at which point the steamer Jefferson awaited us. * When it was flled, a8 itliterally was, a start was made for Detroit, making stops ut Eri Cleveland, and other ports on the way. From Detroit the journey wos usually by’ staze wagon, but our party arranged to come with Hiram Gilson, who was ou his way with o stock of horses and wagons for a livery stable. The journcy from Detroit to Chicago occupicd all of one week, but ‘was ade comfortuble by #toppiug ut night. Lot those who muke the trip from Chicago to Boston now in thirty-six hours, fu Pullman cars, . think of the ditlerence between now aud forty years ago. o Our principal amusement through Michigan was getting up trotting matches. Gilson had” umong iy borses two that had or had bsd cousiderable epeed. One old spavined sorrel called Thunder- Dolt that looked full of gume he would offer to match ugninst uny trotter they could produce, but they would be too sharp for that, but' would offer to ‘trot their nags agminsta clean-limbed bright bay called **Dread,” and _after much talk thelr match would be accepted and **Dread” would show them the cleanest pair of heels they had seen in Michigan, snd they then found that the firat offer to match was a blind. but the discovery was t0o ate to save their mones. On the steamer Jefferson 1 took one of the prac- tical lessons that are so useful in after-life. While the dinner-table in the cabin (which was under the deck always inthose days, the first upper-cabin lake steambont being the_ Great Western, bailt some years afterward) wus being prepared for the hungry crowd, 1 eaw a very nice roasted pig, Lrown, qrisp, 'and juicy, and of roast pigIwas very fond. When the bell rang there was much crowding for pluces, and the steward stood at the door usking gentlemen not to crowd, au the second tuble would soon be ready, and in all respects the same ay the st 1 modestiy fell back and waited, and on getting place at the'secona table, 1looked for my favorite, roast vig; but alas, for it ‘was not, and, althouzh there was plenty of second table, there Wwas no sec- ond roast pig Thus was the modesty resulting from good old New England training crushed to earth. Thus was the trust in the word of a steamboat steward for- ever deatroyed. Thus was the lesson learned that et and fupudence would secure more roust pig n this world shan modesty and reserve, B. ‘WONG COING I'0O0. SOME INSIDE MISTORY ABOUT THE BOY. Of all the schemes resoried to by the crooked gentry the religious dodge appears to be the sim- plest, most certain of pecuniary resalts, andat the same time the safest. Does an out-at-elbows confldence man exhaust all other means of beating the community, bLe straightway calls upon the brethren to subseribe in a book—and cash on the button—to some alleged relizious or religio-chari- table object. Also when, in the plenitude of time, the believers get ‘*onto him,” und, to speak in metaphor, the Jews rofuse to receive him,— lo, he turncth unto the Gentiles, and turnsan honest penny Uy, bleating against the other party. This takes quite as well with the opponents of religion as the subscription dodge doee with the pious clusses. Take it either way you will, there is money for the expert confidemce operator one way or other on ulmost uny side of the religious question. And he knows it! A most t\ppro&)rlnte illustration - of the ides above sng- geuted ia furnished by the carcer of a certain gen- tleman of Celestial origin, known to fame in this country by the cuphonious name of Wong Ching Foo, and who at present holds forth in the East as a Buddnist Missionary. The following from' the Alliance of May 10 shows what the present status of the almond-cyed Moody is in the religions world: ‘Wong Ching Foo, the Buddbfst misslonary, has ex- cited_considerable comment throughout Christian America by lils utterances tn New York. Whether he 15 3 bona fide mlsslonary, or the tool of some designing MAnagers, MALlens noL0 far as Lis remnarks are con- cerned, and at all events we are bound, until proof to the contrary 1 produced, 1o beileve hifu sincere. What impreases ua ost, Lowever, 13 that his eflorts seem to be wholly defensive lustead of aizressl 1n fact, 1o Justify the Buddhlsts. The editor of the Alliance will not wonder at the suspicions excitea in his mind, pointed st in the above paragraph nor will the Christian people of this country longer pother themselves about the +auguration of a:lvathen ‘misslon -systein'"ih "our mldélfi—mlt least £o far as Wony Ching Foo is con- cerned, —when they read 8 **few brief remarks' upon this distinguished ve—an attempt, Buddbist™; not as he now i8, but as he was some threc years ago. Someé time in the year 1574, and_probabiy in the early autumn, when the crisp atmosphere drives people indoors, and the genial glow of early fires Worns the heart to hospitality, there appeared upon the Evangelical horizon of the good City of Rochester, N. ¥.. n certsin charming spechnen of China, which at once set the maids and matrons of **truly good ™ soclety agog with intercst. It is, perhape, needless to” rewark that this gom of animated pric-a-brac waos nothing short of the phcnomenal Mr. Wong Ching Foo. Poor Wong Ching Foo came to the good people of the town, nnd especially to the pastor and peo- ple of a certain leading Presbyterian Charch, with a touching story. It opened first the curs of the pastor and then his heart; from which spurces, of course, the road wns. wide open .10 the ears, hearts, und ures of tneflock. A Season of nnusual Chinese interest in the church and a series of unexampled Mongo- Jisn meetings would probably have beén held to somebody’s great advantage but for a circumetance which will appear later. As remarked, Mr. Foo had a story, and it lacked not (hat element of romance which i3 so nccessary 10 the loosening of heartstrings, tho growth of sympathy. and the flow of contributlons. ‘THE STORY, AS TOLD BY THE INTERESTING EXILE one Sunday evening in the church referred to, and Defore & large audience. was about ns follows: Mr. Foo usserted that he tirst smw the light in or near the City of Hong Kong, China. Iis parcnts were people of some position. The usual curricalum _of Chinese ~education was gone ‘through by the youth, but he aspired to something more. An opportunity offcred Whereby e might acquire the Englieh Janguase, under the auspices of an ofticial who promiscd him 1 position as interpreter cventually. A few years' study made him master of our tongue; and in nc- quiring it he also became conversant with enough of our racred hiterature to awaken him to the truths of Christianity. And so he hecume o con- vert. Notlong after the time referred to, Mr. Wong Ching Foo joined what he supposed to e u native eociety for the suppression of the opfum tratlic; but discovered that it was, In fact, 8 gecret revolutionary orzanization formed to overthrow the reigning dynusty. _Horrified ns he was, his awfal guths preventcd his withdrawal, or any dis- closure, fearing, ax he did, the vengennce of this plg-tailedVelrone Gericht. It was not long before the Government ootained informatiou of the Society's memberdhip and pluns. and all of the implicated who could e found were dccapitated. 3Ir. Foo fortanately succceded in cscaping, but at the wacrifice of the lives of his whole family, including father, mother, wife, and children. ® And now, afterall these tragical vicissitudes, Mr. Foo was in this country to preach the glad tidings to his or deluded countrymen, who were still wallow- ng in the slough of bLeathenism. To accomplish this, of course, he must ye duly prepared for the minetry, and As he conld not conscientiously re- main ‘“awaiting remittances from his uncle who had_been decapitated with the rest of the family, charitable donations from his Presbyterian brothers and sisters wonld be thankfully received. Wong Ching Foo stood in the pulpit dccked in all the sensutional picturesqueness of an embroidered silk gown, pig-tail, and the conventional Chinese shoea: he talked long and well, and o interested Lis nudience thot o most liberal compliment was offered him, and, beyond that, the ladies of the church at whose houses hic hud been entertained, prescuted Uim with bouguets and tiowers malore. ery pralseworthy was this, since the generous sisters knew not to what an alarming extent he would illustrate by their buds that he was still at heart a Buddhist. . Sud stories should be related in few words, and it 13 & pity they should have to be told at all; but alas poor human nature! ‘That Sabbuth night was well nigh over, and the <arly Monday cock was almost due to crow, when Wong Ching Foo was discovered spending lie donation in crime at a man<ion of **gilt franie " uround the corner fron: the eanctuars In which he had Leew speaking, and he hsd furtiermore bestowed his bouqueis and tlowers upon the 1ninates of the eame. _Due publicity was given totacse facts ot the time by the local press, and Mr. Wong Ching Foo was more than Ilkely ihereby induced to forsake the Christian missivnary ticld and return to the re- ligion of hfa ancestars, which is_supposed 10 be more Jenicnt to sach lttle pecadilloes as his, The Alliance remarks: **Inasmnch as he in- tends to visit various portions of the country, we shall doabtless have sn_opporzunity to hear bim before long, when his doctrine and purposes can be better determined.” Should the distinguished tained in the telegram.
