AGANE OF CHESS.
now IT ENABLED COLUMBUS TO DISCOVER
AMERICA.

According to the old Spanish tradition, Co
um5us discovery OF America is malnfg due TO
a hard-fJught game of chess. Ferdinand OF
SPAN passed the later hours of the day over the
chequred board; his principal antagonist being
an old grandee, whose skill put the monarch's
powers 10 severe test. Columbus bad long
been dancing attendance al the Court in puTsu-
ance of the aim OF his Iife-the grant of an eX-
,pedition in search ola new world-and although
she had Hitherto failed in his aim, yet he had ne
slisted the sympathies and support Of the good
isabella. Ferdinand was one Of those matter
OF fact men, who object to furthering the schemes
OF enthusiasts, and withheld his consent to a
New World expedition being formed.
Poor Columbus would long before have sought
assistance elsewhere, but Isabella prevented him
and redoublrd her efforts with her husband
The day arrived when the great navigator was
to receive his 6nai answer; he wended his way
towards the palace at night fall, more with the
lnfentian of bidding adieu to his royal paroness
than from any hope OF success with Ferdinand.
Isabella had not, however, resigned herself and
Columbus to defeat, and on the latterS arriving
she immediately sought the King, who, being
absorbed in hard fought game with the atore-
mentioned old noble, was not in likely mood
10 be bothered by the application OF an imPor-
tunate sailor. The Queens interruption bad
the effect Of merely distracting the monarch's
attention, causing him to lose his principle
piece, which was followed by a voley Of impre-
catious on suitors in general and Columbus in
particular. The game grew worse and worse,
and drltat seemed inevitable.
Now Isabella, without ever playing, had
picked up considerable knowledge ofthe game
vwatchng her mobiles, and when Ferdinand
told her that her protege should be successful
or otherwise, according as the game resulted,
She immediately bent all her energies upon the
board. The contest had been unusually long,
and the courtierS clustered around the table,
amused at the excitement OF the King and the
quiet satisfaction Of his antagonist. And so the
gam went on, which was to decide the dis
covery of a new continent, until Isabella leaned
to her husbands ear aud whispered ''you can
checkmate hIm in four moves" In the utmost
astoniShment the King re-eXamned his game,
found that his wiie'S assertion was correct, and
announced a few moments subsequently that
Columbus should depart on his voyage of dis
coverv, with the title of 'Admiral of the feet. ;"

ByDPPING INTO TIE GRAvY.-We were
not long since much amused by a couple Of
Hoosier girls who came on board the steamers
at the little town OF Mount Vernon, Ind. They s-
bad evidently never been thousand miles from ,
nome, and were making their first Trip on q
steamboat. The elder one was exceedingly
talkalve, and perfectly free and unconcefnpd,s sai
without regard 10 the many eyes that We're scan
ning her movements. The other was ofthe OPP
posite turn of mind, inclined 10 bashfulness.
At dinner our ladies' were bonored with seat q
at the head OF the table, and the elder one.
with her usual independence, cut her bread into
small pieces, and with her fork reached over
and rolled each mouthtul in the nice dressing
on plate of beei-stake before her. The pas
sengers preserved their gravity during the op-17
Grafton by dint OF great effort. Perceiving that d
her sister was not very forward in helping her
self, she turned round to her and exclaimed
loud enough to be heard by half the table
''SaI, dip into the graUy-dad pays as much as
any on 'em - This was followed by general
roar, in which the captain led of. The girls
arrived at their place of destination before sup
per, and when they left the boat, all hands gave
three cheers for the girls OF the Hoosier State
GyAn old farmer out west, who was in the
mighty habit Of counting his live stock to see if

CUTTNG GLASS HY DfAMoNDs.--It has been
asceraned that the parts the glass to which
the diamond is applrd are forced asuGder. as
hy a wedge, 10 a most minute distance, without
being removed, 50 that superficial continuous
track is made from one end of the intended cut
20 the other. After this, any small force APP
piled to one extremity is sufficient to extend this
crack through all the whole substance and a.
cross the g lass for, since the STRAIN at each in
slant IN the progress of the crack is confined
merely to mathematical point at the bottom Of
the fSSure, the effort necessary for carving II
through is proportionally small. DR.. Wollas
Ton found, by trial, that the cut caused by the
mere passage of the diamond need not penetrate
so much as the two hundreth part Of an inch.
He found also that other mineral bodies, recent
ly ground into the same form, are capable of
cutting glass, but they cannot long retain that
power from want of the requisite hardness.
THE DRoMrDARy ExrERmEXT.-The Gal
weston (Texas) News states that the camels
and dromedaries, imported hy the Govern
ment some years ago, into that State, for the
purpose of trying the experiment how they
would answer the purpose on our great Amer
ican deserts or in the extreme west OF the
State, have Iproven eminently successful, and
come up to the full expectations of all. At
last accounts they Were on their Journey
heavily laden, TO the extreme frontier Of
New Mexico. Al are now satisfied that the
importation Of cameIs was no chimerical
flight, as was anticipated. but wise, judi
cions and economical scheme, rejecting credit
on the orignators OF the plan. There are
now employed nineteen dromeda-ies and
thirty-two camels on the frontier. The cli-
mate agrees with them admirably, and but
few accidents, by disease or otherwise oc-
Cured.

IMPERISHABILITY OF GREAT EXAM
PIES

The following eloquent passage occurs in
Everett's great grafton:
To be cold and breathlesslfo feel and speak
not-this is not the end of existence 10 the men
who have breathed their spirit into the insttu-
toms Of their country, who hake stamped their
characters on the pillars fthl age, who have
poured their hearts blood ntohbe channels of
the public prosperity. Tell NE who tread .he
sods on yon sacred height, isl Warren dead?
Can you not see him, all paid and PROSTATE,
the blood of his gallant heart pturing out of his
ghastly wound, but moving respkndent over the
field Of honor, with the rose of Heaven upon
his cheek and the grey Of libertE in bis eye?
Tell me, who make your piousl pilgrimage to
the shades OF Vernon, is Washington. indeed,
shut up in that cold and narrow lhouse1 That
which made these men, and mpn hkp these. can
not die. The hand that traced tie Charter of
Independence is, indeed, motionlsss, the eIo-
quent lips that sustained it are hulhed, but the
lofty spirits that conceived, resolyE ID and main
tanned it, and which alone, to Suclmen, SNAKE
it Iif; to live," these cannot expirel
sThese shall resist the empire OF dhay.
When time IS Ger and worlds have passed away,
Cold in the dust the perished heart NAV lie.
But that which warmed 1t once can leyer die.''
