WAN LEE, THE PAGAN. A Sketch by Drofc Ilnrto. Prom Scribner’* /or September. Ab I opouod ( IIop Bing's letter, there fluttered to tho ground a square strip of yellow paper cov ®rod with hieroglyphics which at first glanco 1 Innocently took to bo tho labol from a pack of Chinese flro-oiackore. But tho somo envelop o also contained if smaller strip of rloo paper, with two Chinese characters traced in India ink, that onco know to bo hop Bing’s vialtlng-cavd. Tho whole, as afterwards literally translated, ran tfl follows ! “To tbo (drimgpr tbe gates of my home aro not closed ; the rice Jar Is <m tho loft, amt tho awefllmeuU on tho right ns you outer. Two saying* of tho Muter: umiimalliy la lb* virtue of tho aon and lb* wisdom of tho ancestor. The Superior man is IlgUl-hcarted after lbs crop-gathering; ho makes a festival, when too stranger to In your melon-pxtc.'i observe him not too closely; Inattention is often tho high est form of civility. llappluiei, Ponce, and Prosperity. Hop Sum,” Admirable, certainly, as wan thin morality and proverbial wisdom, amt although this last axiom was very characteristic of my friend Hop Bing, who was that most somber of all humorists, A CHINESE PHILOSOPHER, I must confess that, oven flftor a very free trans lation. 1 was at a loss to make anv hnmodifl te ap plication of tho moiwago, Luckily I discovered a third enclosure In the shape of a little note in English and Hop Sing’s own commercial .hand. It ran rims t Tho pleasure of yotir company 1a requested at No. Sacramento street, on Friday evenlugalS o'clock. A oup of lad at 9—sharp, Hov.UiNCV. This explained all. It meant a visit to Hop Slug’s warehouse, tho opening and exhibition of some rare Chinese novelties and curios, a chat iu tho hack office, a cup of tea of a perfection unknown beyond these sacred precincts, clgivrs, and a visit to the Chinese theatre or tenaplo. This was in fact tho favorite programme of Hop Bing whon ho exorcised his functions of hospi tality ns the chief factor or Bnporiutondom; of tho King Foo Company. At 8 o’clock on Friday evening I entered THE WAREHOUSE OF HOP HlNtt. There was that deliciously commingled mys terious foreign odor that I had so often noticed; there was tho old array of uncouth looking ob jects, the long procession of jars and crockery, the same singular blending of tho grotesque and tho mathematically neat anti exact, tlio same endless suggestions of frivolity and fragility, tho same want of harmony in colo.tts that wore each, in themselves, beautiful and raro. Kites iu tbo shape of cuonnons dragoon aud gigantic buttorilics; kites so ingeniously ar ranged as to utter at intervals, when facing the wind, the cry of a hawk; kites bo largo as to bo beyond any boy’s power of restraint—so largo that you understood why kite-flying in China wan an amusement for adults; gads of china and bronze so gratuitously ugly as to bo beyond any human interest or sympathy from their very impossibility; jars of sweetmeat* covered all over with moral sentiments from Confucius; hats that looked like baskets, and baskets that looked like bars; silks eo light that I hesitate to record the incredible number of square yards that you might pass through tho ting on your little Anger— those ami a great many other indescribable ob jects woro all familiar to mo.. I pushed my way through tho dimly-lighted warehouse until X reached Uio back oillco or parlor, where I fouud Hop Bing waiting to receive mo. Before I describe him 1 want tho average reader to discharge from his mind any idea of a Chinaman that lie may have gathered from tho pantomime. Ho did not wear beautifully scalloped drawers fringed with little bolls—l never mot a China man who did; ho did not habitually carry his forefinger extended before him at right angles -with his body, nor did 1 over hear him utter tho mysterious sentence “Chlng a ring a ring chaw,” nor dnneo under any provocation. Ho was, on the whole, a rather GRAVE, DECOBOUS, HANDROaiE GENTLEMAN. His complexion, which extended all over his head except whore bia long pigtail grow, was like a very nice piece of ginzod brown paper-muslin. His eyes wore black and bright, aud his eyelids set at an angle of 15 degrees; hit) nose straight and delicately formed, his mouth small, and his teeth white and clean. Ho woro a dark blue silk blouse . and in tbo streets on cold days, a abort jacko. of astrakhan fur. He wore also a pair of drawots of bluo brocado gathered tigbily over bis calves aud ankles, offering a general sort of suggestion that ho bod forgotten his trousers that morning, but that, so gootlemanly wore his manners, his friends had forborne to mention tho fact to him. His manner was urbane, although quite serious. Ho spoke French and English Uucntly. In brief, I doubt If you could have found tho equal of this Pagan shopkeeper among tbo Christian traders of Ban Francisco. Thoro.woro a fow others present: a Judge of tho Federal Court, an editor, a high government official, and a prominent merchant. After, wo had drunk our tea, and costed a few sweetmeats from a mysterious Jar, that looked as if it might contain a preserved mouse among its oiuer nondescript tiensures, Hop Sing aroso and, gravely beckoning us to follow bim, began to descend to tho basement. When wo got there, wo wero amazed at finding it brilliantly lighted, and that a number of chairs were arranged in a half-circle on the asphalt pavement. When ho bad courteously seated us be said: “ I have invited you to wituesu a performance which 1 can at least promise you no other for eigners but yourselves have ever seen. WANO, TUB COUUT JUQQIXU, arrived boro yesterday morning. Ho has never : gvvou ft pecConuauce outside of the palace be- I (ore. I have eased blm to ontortniu my friends this evening. Ho requires no theatre, stage, ac cessories, or any coufcodrato—nothing moro than you seo boro. Will you bo pleased to ex amine tbo ground yourselves, gentlemen?” Of course we examined the promises. It was tbo ordinary basement or collar of tho Son Frau cisco storehouse, cemented to keep out tbo damp. Wo poked our sticks into tbo pavement and rapped on tbo walls to satisfy oar pollto host, but for no other purpose. Wo were quite content to bo the victims of any clover decep tion. For myself, I know I was ready to bo de luded to any extent, and if I bad been offered an explanation of what followed, I suould have probably declined it. Although I am satisfied that Wang’s general por/oimauco was tbo first of that hind over given on American soil, it has probably since becoraeso familiar to many of mv readers that I shall not boro them with it boro.' Ho began by sotting to flight, with tbo aid of bis fan, tbo usual number of butterfiics mado before our oyes ol little bits of tissue paper, and kept them in tho air during the remainder of tbo poiformance. I have a vivid recollection of tho Judge trying to catch ouo that had lit on his kueo. and of its evading him with iho pertinacity of a living insect. And oven at this umo Wang, still plying his fan, was taking chickens out of bats, making oranges disappear, pulling endless yards of silk from bis sleeve, apparently titling tbo whole area of the baaomont with goods that appeared mysteriously from tho ground, from his own sleeves, from nowhere 1 ilo swallowed knives to tho ruin of his digestion for years to como, bo dislocated ovory limb of bis body, bo reclined in tho olr, apparently upon nothing. But his crowning performance, which 1 bavo never yet soon repeated, was tho most WEIRD, UYBTEUIOUh', AND ABTOONDINQ. It is my apology for this long introduction, my solo ercuno for writing this article, tho gone bid of this voracious history. Uq cleared tho ground of its encumbering arti clob for a space of about 10 feet square, and theu invited us all to walk forward ami again ox amino It. Wo did so gravely t thoro was nothing but tbo cemented pavomoui below to bo aeon or felt. Ho then naked for tbo loan of a handker chief, and, as I chanced to bo nearest him, 1 of fered mine. lie took it, and spread It open upon tbo floor. Over this ho spread a large square of silk, and over this again a largo shawl uoaily covering tho epaco ho hud cleared. He thou took g position at one of tho points of this rectangle, and begun a monotoruous chant, rock ing his body to and fro iu time with tho some what lugubrious air. Wo sat still and waited. Above tho ehant wo could hoar tho shining of the city clocks, ami occasional rottlo of o cart in tho street over head. The absolute watchfulness and expecta tion, tho dim mysterious half-light of tho cellar falling in a growsomo way noun tho misshapen bulk of a Chinese dicty in the background, a faint smell of opium-smoko mingling with splco, ami tho dreadful uncortaiuty of what we wore really waiting for, sent an uncom fortable thrill down our bocks, and made ns look at each other with a forced and unnatural smilo. This fooling was height ened when Hop Bing slowly rose, and, without a word, pointed with hm finger to the centre of the shawl. Thoro was something beneath tho shawl. Surely—and something that was not there be fore. At first a more suggestion in relief, a faint outline; but growing mure and more distinct and visible every moment. The chant still con tinued, the perspiration began to roll from tho ginger’s face, gradually the hidden object took upon liftoff a shape and balk that rained the nhawl hi Ha centre aonio sor 0 Inches. It wna now unmistakably the outline 'of a email but perfect human figure, with extended arms and logs. Guo or two of no turned pale, there was a fooling of general uneasiness, until the editor broke the alienee by a gibe tlmt, poor no It was, was received with spontaneous onthu dlaem. Then tho chant suddenly ceased, Wang arose, and, with a quick, dexterous movomout, stripped both shawl and silk away, and diHcnv crcd, Bleeping peacefully upon my hankorohlof, A TINY CHINE BB IJ.VDyI Tho applause anti uproar 1 which followed this rovolaliou ought to havo satmllod Wang, ovon if his nmlionco war a email one: it was loud enough to awakou tho baby—ft piotty little boy about a year old. looking Hue a Cupid out out of haiuJal wood. Jlowas whisked away aliuoet an mysteriously as ho appeared. When Hop Bing returned my handkerchief to mo with a bow, X asked if tho Juggler wan tho father of the baby, “No eabo !*'uaul tho imperturbable Hop Sing, taking refuge in that Spanish form of non-com mitlftlltmi ho common in California. 11 But does ho have a now baby for every per formance?” I asked. “Perhaps; who knowa? “Put what will become of tblsono? 1 * what ever you choose. gentlemen,” replied Hop Sing, with a courteous inclination, “ it was borne hero, —you are ho godfather.” , , , tl , Thcio wore two characteristic pcouliaritlca of any Californian assemblage in 135(1t U was quick to take n hint, and gouoroua to the point of prodigality in its response to any charitable appeal. No matter how sordid or avaricious the individual, ho could not roeisc tho infection of sympathy. I doubled the points of ray UamlUoichiof into a bag, dropped a cola Into it, and, without a word, passed it to the Judge, lie quietly added a S2U guld-pieco, aud paused it to the next; when it was returned to mo It contained over. $1(10. I knotted tho money iu tho handkerchief, aud gave it to Hop Ping. “For the baby, from Us godfathers.” “Put what name?” Bald the Judge. There was arunmng fire of '‘Erebus,” “Nox,” “Plu« lua," “Terra Cotta,” "Aulams,” etc., etc. Finally the question was referred to our host. “ Why not hoop bis own name ?” ho said quietly— “wax lee.” And ho did. And thus was Wan Loo. on (ho night of Fri day, the sth of March, 185J, bora Into this vora cious chronicle. The last form of the Northern Slur far tho lOtli of July, 18(35,—th0 only daily paper published iu Klamath County,—had Just gouo to pvesH, and at 8 a. m. 1 was putting aside my proofs and manuscript*, preparatory to going homo, when I discovered a letter Wing under some shoots of paper which I must have over looked. The envelope was considerably soiled, it had no post-mark, hut I hud no dilllcnlty in recognizing tho hand of my friend Hop.Bing. X opened li humodly aud toed as follows: MV Scab 8m; I do not know whether iho bearer will suit yon, bub uulcuu tho oillce ol “ devil M lu' your newspaper is a purely technical otic, I think ho boa all the qualities required, lie is very quick, active, aud lutmilgeut: understands English bolter than he speaks it, tmi makes up for any defect by his habits of observation aud imitation.

But you certMmy know him already; • t'r TOO ARE ONE OF XU3 GODFATHERS, for la ho not Won Lee, tho repuicd spu of Wong tbo Conjurer, to whoso performances 1 hud tho honor to introduce you ?

The money you left with me has been ex pended on his education; ho baa gone through tho Tri-literal Classics, but, 1 think, without much bene fit. Hu knows hut little of Confucius, and absolutely nothing of Mencius, Owing to the negligence of bis lather, ho associated, perhupo, too much with Amur cau children. 1 should liuvo answered your letter before, by post, but I thought that Won Loaiimißolf would bou hotter tucdsougcr for this. Yours respectfully. And Ibis was the long-delayed answer to my loiter to Hop King. But whore mis ‘‘the bearer ?’’ How was tho letter delivered ? 1 sum moned hastily tho foreman, printers, and ortico boy, but without eliciting anything; no one bad soon tbo letter delivered, nor know anything of tbo bearer. A fow days later I had a visit from my laundry-niau, All Iti. “ You wautoo Uebbil ? All ligbtee |mo catcboo him." Ho returned in & fow moments with a bright looking Chinese boy auout 10 years old, whh whose appearance and general intelligence I was so greatly impressed that 1 engaged him on tbo spot. When the business was concluded 1 asked his name. •* Wan Lee,” said tho boy. “Whatl Are you tho boy sent out by Hop Sing? What the devil do you mcau by not com ing hero before, uud how did you deliver that letter I" Wan Leo looked at mo and laughed. “ ME PITCUEE IN TOl? SLUE WINUQW." I did not understand. Ho looked for a mo ment perplexed, and then snatcaiug tho letter out of my band, ran down the stairs. After a mo ment’s pause, to my groat astonishment, the lot tor came dying in tho window,circled twico around the room, and thon dropuod gently like a bird upon my table. Before I had got over my aur firiuo Wan Loo reappeared, smiled, looked at tho otter and thou at mo, said, “So, John,” and then remained gravely silent. 1 said nothing further, but it was understood that this was. his iirat official act. His next .performance, I grieve to sny, was not attended with equal success. One of our regular papcr-carriom foil sick, and, at aplnoli, Wan Loo was ordered to till his place. To pre vent mistakes ho was shown over tho route the previous evening, and supplied at about daylight with tho usual num ber of subscribers' copies. He re turned after an hour, in good spirits and with out the papers. Ho had delivered them all, ho said. Uuforlupotely for Wan Lee, at about 8 o’clock indignant subscribers arrived at the ofdco. They bad received their copies; but how? In the form of hnid-presnod onnnou-ballo, delivered by u single shot and a mere tour do force through the glass of bod-room windows. They had received them full In the face like a base ball, if they happened to bo up and stirring ; they had received them m quarter sheets, looked in at separate windows ; they had found thorn in the chimney, pinned against tiio door, shot through attic windows, delivered m long slips through convenient keyholes, stalled into ventilators, and occupying the sumo can with the morning’s milk. Ono subscriber, who waited for somo timo at tho ollico dour, to hnvo a personal mtorviow with Wan Lee (then com fortably locked hi by bed-room). told mo, .with tears of rago ia his eyes, that ho had boon awakened at 0 o'clock by a most hideous yell, ing below his windows ; that on rising, in great agitation, ho was startled by tho sudden ap pearance of tho Northern Star, rolled hard and bout into the form of a boomer ang or Lust Indian club, that BAILED INTO THE WINDOW’, described a number of Uoudlsh circles in the room, knocked over the light, ulupped the babv’s face, “took" him (tbo subscriber) “in iliu jaw," and tbou returned out of tbo window and dropped helplessly in the area. During the rest of tho day wads and strips of Roiled paper, pur porting to bo copies of the j\orlhem Weir of ibat morning's issue, wore brought indignantly to tiro oillco. An admirable editorial on “ Tiro llo bourccs of Humboldt County," which I hud con- Htrucled tho evening boforo, and which,! badrea- Bon to boliovo, might have changed tho wholo balance of tiado during tho ensuing year, and left Han Francisco bankrupt at her wharves, was in this way lost to lire'public. It was doomed advisable for tho next three weeks to keep Wan X-.ee closely conllnad to tho printing oillco and tho purely mechanical part of the business. Hero bo developed a surprising quickness and adaptability, winning oven tho favor and good will of tho printers and foreman, who at first looked upon iris introduction into tho secrets of tlioir trudo as fraught with tho gravest political slgnillcanco. lie learn ed to sot typo readily and neatly, bis wonderful skill m manipulation aiding bim in tbe more mechanical act. and his ignorance of tbo language conliniug bim simply to tbo me chanical olfoifc —coullrmlng tbo printer's axiom that tbo printer who considers or follows tho ideas of hw copy wakes a poor oomnositor. He would sot up deliberately long diatribes agaiust himself, composed by bis 10110-v-printers, and bung on tho book as copy, and oven such short sentences as “Wan Doe is tbo devil’s own Imp," “Wan Doe is a Mongolian rascal,” and bring tbo proof to mo with bappi ness beaming hum every tooth and satisfaction shining in bis buckioborry eves. It was not long, however, before bo learned to UUTALTATK ON HIS MISCHIEVOUS PEUBECUTOUa. I remember ono instance in which Ins reprisal onmo very near involving me in a serious mis uudocsUudlug. Our foreman’s name was Web ster, and Wan Loo presently loarnod to know mui recognize tbo individual ami combined lot tuis of his name. It was during a political cam paign, and tho eloquent and ilery 001. Star- Loitlo, of tilskyou, bad delivered an olTcotlvo speech, wliiolr was reported especially fur ITIE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE? SATURDAY, AUGUST 32„ 1«74. tbo Xov&ern Star. In n very sublime Rororntlon Col. Btavbottlo bad nnld: “In io language of tho god-Jlko Webster, I repeat," nnd Itoro followed tbo quotation, wblob I have forgotten. Now, it cbnncod that Wan Loo, looklug ovor tho galley after it bad boon roviood, saw tbo pnme of bis cbiof perse enter, and, of course, Imagined tbo quotation bis. After tbo form was locked up, wan Loo took advantage of Wobslor'a absence to romovo tho quotation and Bubslitulo a thin plooo of load of tbo Btimo size as tho typo, engraved willi Cblnceo characters, making a sentence wblob I bad reason to bollovo was an utter and abject confession of the Inca pacity ond ofTonslvcnoKfl of tho Webster family generally, and exceedingly oulo glstio of Wan Leo himself personally. The next morning’s paper contained Col. Hlar bottle s speech In full, in wblob It appeared that tbo 44 god-Ilko *' Webster bad on one occasion uttered Ins thoughts iu excellent but perfectly enigmatical Chinese. Tho rago of Col. Siaibot tlo know no bounds. I have a vivid recollection of that admirable man walking into my olllco, and DHMANDINO A HETJIACTION OP THE STATEMENT. ** ilut my dear sir,” I asked, 14 are you willing to deny, ovor your own signa ture, (bat Webster ovor uttered such a sentence ? Dare yon deny that, with Mr. Web ster's well-known attainments, a knowledge of Chinese might not bavo boon among tbo num ber? Are you willing to submit a translation suitable to tho capacity of our readers, and deny, upon your honor as a gentlemen, that tbo late Mr. Wobstor over uttered snob a sentiment ? If you are, sir, I am willing to publish your denial." The Colonel was not, and loft, highly indig nant. Webster, the foreman, took it more coolly. Happily he was uimwuro that for two days after Chinamen from tho laundries, from the gulches, from tho kitchens, looked iu tho front ollico door with faces beaming with sardonic delight; that 300 extra copies of the “i Star” wore or dered for tho wash-houses on tho river. Ho only know that during tho day Wan Loo occasionally wont oil into convulsive spasms, aud that ho was obliged to kick him into consciousness again. A week after tho occurrence I called Wan Loo iuto my oillco. “ Wan,” I said, gravely, “ I should Jllto you to give mo, for my own personal satisfaction, A TRANSLATION’ OF THAT CHINESE SENTENCE which my Rifted counlryimvn, tho lalo god-Hko 'Webster, -uttered upon a pub lie occasion.” wnu Leo looked at mo Intently, ami then the slightest possible twinkle crept into his blacic eyes. Then he replied, with equal gravity i “Mmbtol Wobatol,—ho sayi ‘China boy makoo me bollv nmch foolco. China boy malice mo heap sick.* ” Which 1 have reason to tbiuk was true. But I fear I am giving but one side, and not the best, of Wan Lee’s character. As be imparted it to mo, his bad boon a bard life. He had known scarcely any childhood—ho had no recollection of a father or mother. The conjuror Wang had brought him up. He bad spout the first seven years of his life in appearing from bas kets, in drooping out of hats, in climbing ladders, in putting bis htilo limbs out of joint in posiming. Ho bad lived man atmosphere of trickery and deception ; he had learned to look upon mankind as dupes of their senses; in lino it ho had thonght at all. bo would have been a skeptic, if ho hud been a little older, bo would have been a cynic, if be had been older still, ho would have been a philosopher. As it was, ho was A LITTLE IMP I A good-natured imp it was, too—an imp whoso moral nature bad never boon awakened, un imp up for a holi day, and willing to try virtue os a Oivcrßiou. I don’t know that ho bud any spiritual nature: bo was vorvsuperstitious; ho carried about with him & hideous little porcelain god, which ho was in the habit of alternately reviling and propi tiating. lie was too intelligent for the com moner CbitiOßO vices of stealing or gratuitous lUng. Whatever discipline he practiced was taught by bis intellect. 1 am inclined to think his feelings woro not altogether unlmpresbible,—although It was al most impossible to * extract an expres sion from him,—and I conscientiously bcliovo bo became attached to those that were good to him. What ho mighthave be come under more favorable conditions than the bondsman of nu over-worked, under-paid, liter ary man, I don’t know; I only know that tbo scant, irregular, impulsive kindness that I showed him woio gratefully received. Ho was very loyal and patient—two qualities rare in tho average American servant. Ho was like Mnlvo lio, “sad and civil" with mo? only once, ami then nuder grout provocation, do I remember of Ida Hop Sino. EXHIBITING ANY IMPATIENCE. It was my habit, alter leaving the office at uight, to take him with mo to ray rooms, as 'the bearer of any supple mental or happy after-thought m the editorial way that might occur to mo before lire paper wont to press. One night I had been scribbling aivay past the usual hour of dismissing Wan Leo, f.nd'lmd become quite oblivious of his presence in a chair near my door, when suddenly 1 became aware of a voice saying, in plaintive accents, something that sounded imo “ üby Leo.” 1 faced around sternly. “What did you say?” “3fo snv *Chy Loo.’” “ Well I enid, impationlly, “ You sobo • How do, John i* ” “Yea.” “You sabo * So long, John?”' “ yea." “Well, ‘ChyLeo’ alleosame!” I understood him quite plainly. It appeared that“Ohv Leo” was a form of •• good night," ami that Wan Leo was anxious to go homo. But an instinct of mischief which £ fear I pos sessed in common with him impelled mo to act as it oblivious of the hint. 1 muttered some thing about not understanding him, and again bout over my woik. In a fow min utes 1 hoard his wooden shoos pattering pathetically over the lluor. I looked up. iio was standing near the door. “You no sale, ‘ Chy Lee ?’" “ No," I said, sternly, “You sabo 3IUCIIEE DIO EOOLEE ! nllee same!” And with this audacity upon Ida lips, ho fled. Tha next morning, however, ho was as meek and, patient as before, and I did not recall his olfenao. As a probable pcuce-olforiug, ho blacked all my bools, —a duty never required of him,—includ ing a pair of buff deor-ukin slipporn and an im mense pair of horseman's jack-boots, on winch lie indulged his remorse for two hours. Ibavo spoken of lbs honesty ae> being a qual ity of his intellect rather than tils principle, but I recall about tins timo two exceptions to the rule. I was anxious to got some fresh eggs, ns a change 10 the heavy diet of a mining town, and knowing that Wan Loo’s countrymen were groat poultiy misers, 1 applied to him. iio furnished thorn to mo regularly every morning, hut refused to take any pav, saving that the man did not sell them—a remarkable instance of self abnegation, as eggs wore then north half a dollar apiece. • One morn ing, my neighbor, Fun-oslpr, dropped in upon mo at breakfast, ami took occasion to be wail bis own ill-fortune, as bis bens had lately stopped laying, or wandered olf in tho bush. SVau Loo. who was present during our colloquy, preserved Ins characteristic sail taciturnity. When my neighbor had gone, he tamed to mo with a slight chuckles “Floaters hens—Wan Loo’s lions— AI.IXB SAME I” His other offonao was more- bcriotifl and ambi tious. It wan a season of great irregularities in tiio mails, and Wan Leo bad beard ms doploro tho delay in tho delivery of my letters and news papers. On arriving at my oillco one" day, I was amazed to Ibid my table covered with letters, evidently just from the post-oftlce, but unforiuuAtoly not one addressed to mo. I turned to Wan Leo, who was surveying them with a culm satisfaction, and demanded an ex planation. To my horror bo pointed to an empty mail-bag in the corner, and said: “Post man us say ‘uolettoo, John—no lottoo, John/ boatman plonien liol Postman no good. Mo catoheo letteo lost night—alloo samel’ 1 Luckily it was still ourly; tho mails bad not boon distributed; I had a hurried Inter view with tbo Postmaster, end Wan Leo’s bold attempt at robbing tbo United litotes mail was llnnlly condoned by tbo purchase of a now mail-bag, oud tbe whole affair thus kept a secret. If my liking for my Utile Pngan page bad not been sufficient, my duty to Hop Sing was enough to oauso mo to take Whu Loe with mo when 1 re lumed to Sum I'’i aucleco, after my two years’ ox {(odonco with the Northern Star. Xdo not think 10 contemplated the change with pleasure. I uttribulod his feelings to a nervous dread of ciowdod public streets,—when bo had to go across-towu for me on an errand, lie always made a long circuit of the outskirts,— to las dislike for the discipline of tbo Chinese and English school to which I pro posed to feoud him, to bis loudness for tho tree, vagrant lilo of (he mines, to sheer willfuilnoss! That It might have been A SIU’EIIBTITJOUH I'nEMOKITIOH did not occur to nic until long after Niivortholofitt it really seemed as if tbe oppor tunity I had long looked for and confidently ex pected had came—tho opportunity of placing Wan Loo undor gently restraining inlluoncos, of subjecting him to n Ufa uud experience that would draw out of him what good my supor- ficlal cnro and ill-regulated klndßoas could not (each. Wnn Loo was placed at ilio Holiool of a Chinese missionary— an intelligent an 3 kind-hearted clergyman, who had shown 'rent interest In tho boy. aim who, bolter than ml, had n wonderful faith in liim. A homo was found for him in (ho family of a widow, who had a bright and interesting daughter about 3 years younger than Wan Loo. It was this bright, cheery, Innocent, and Artless child that touched and renohod a depth hi tho boy's nature that hitherto hod boon unsuspected—that awakened amoral susceptibility that had lain for years Insensible alike to tho teachings of society or tho ethics of the theologians. Those few brief months, bright with a promise that we never saw fulfilled, must have boon . HAPPY OHKD TO WAN LKU. • lie worshiped bis little friend with something Of tho Santo supcrsUon, but wilbout any of the caprice, that ho bestowed upon his porcelain Pagan god. It was his delight to walk behind her to school, carrying her books—a service al ways fraught with danger to him from tho littto bands of his Caucasian Christian brothers. Ho mndo her the most marvelous toys, ho would cut out of carrots and turnips tho most astonishing roses and’ tulips, ho made life- Hko chickens out of melon-seeds,. ho con structed fans and kites, and was singularly pro ficient In tiio making of dolts' paper-drosses. On tho other hand, siio played and sang to him, taught him a thousand lltLlo prottinorfKca and refinements only known to girls, gave him a yel low ribbon for ids pigtail, as best suited Ida road to him, showed him wherein ho was original and valuable, took him to Sun day-school with her, against tho precedents of the school, and, smidl-uoman-liko triumphed. I wish £ could add hero, that she effected his con version. and made him give up his porcelain idol, but I am tolling a true story, and this little girl was quae content to fill him with her own Christian goodness, without lotting him know that he was changed. Ko they got along very well together —this little Christian girl with her shining cross hanging around her plump, white, little neck, ami this dark little Pagan, with Ms mnrouH porcelain god hidden away in bis house. There wore two days of that eventful year which will long bo remembered in San Francisco —two dayn when a mob of hor citizens not upon and killed unarmed, dofonseletia foreigners, be cause they wore foreigners and of another race, religion, and color, and worked for what wages they could got, Thoro were somo public men so timid that, seeing this, they thought that the end of tho world had come; thoro were some eminent statesmen whose names I am ashamed to write hore, who began to think that the pas sage in the Constitution which guarantees civil and religious liberty to every citizen or foreigner was a mistake. Hut there wore also somo mou who were not so easily frightened, and iu twenty four honre we had things so arranged that(ho timid men could wring their hands in safety, ami tho eminent statesmen utter their doubts*with out hurling anybody or anything. And in tho midst of this 1 got o note from Hop King, asking mo to como to him immediately. I found his warehouse closed and strongly gutuded by the police against any possible at tack of tbo rioters. Hop Sing admitted mo through a barred grating with his usual ira peiturbablo calm, but, as it seemed to ms, with more than his usual seriousness.

Tho blue book recently issued by the British Government contains some interesting informa tion couceruiug the national debt sluco 1618. On tho Ist of April of that year, according to this exhibit, the I'undod debt, with stock hold on account of unclaimed dividends and capital value of tormiuablo annuities, stood £839,519,- 326. Sinco then tho tola) has steadily con tracted until it nmv amounts to £785,761,701, be ing a reduction of £53,757,665, or tm average of about £2,067,600 por annum for twenty-six years. But the whole of this docic&se is not duo to actual payment, about £8,000,000 being on account of dimin ished capita) value of terminable annui ties. Including the amount paid off on tho Ipt of April, 1657, tho dobt has boon re deemed to tho extent of £81,262,570. Against tliis gross must-be set tho stock created for pur chase of telegraphs, fortifications, and army lo calization, as well as certain creations of un funded dobt. Altogether those charges amount to £21,020,489, which, deducted from tho gross total, gives £60,236,031 as tho real decrease of tho national dobt dining tho time specified, in cluding the amount paid off iu tho year ending the Ist of April, 1657. Endue tho sumo term £34,334,523 taxes woro remitted in the aggregate each year, except four, showing reductions. Continuous national prosperity and development of trade have enabled England to pay off a large amount of dobt, while the burden of taxation boa boon immensely lightened. HOUSES AND CAKRIAGES.
