OBEss CONGREss-.The tournaments are
going forward slowly. The third section is not
yet commenced of the Grand Tourney.
The astounding performance of playing five
games at one time blindfolded, was performed
yesterday afternoon by Louis PauIsen, of Iowa
His antagonists were Messrs. Frere of Brook
lyn, Dodge Of New York, Dr. Hawes Of Provi-
dence, X. j. 0scanyon Of Canstantinople, and
Mr, IIellbuthI The scene wa. one which will
be long remembered by chess players The
five players, with the boards, occupied n quad
rangle in the centre of the spacious saloon OF
Desconbe Rooms, where the congress is held
.ConspicGous amg the players was Mr.. Oscany-
yon, with red tee on his head, looking like the
very genius Of this oriental game. .-.,
Mr. Paufssn sat on the raised platform, nj
The end Of the room, about thirty feet from the
nearest board, and with fixed attention ana
Iyzed the moves almost without single move
dpent. He commenced this arduous feat al
shout St o'clock in the afternoon, and though
ne played even more rapidly than when the
four games were played about a week ago, the
games occupied the whole evening until a late
hour.
Among the spectators we noticed DR.. Chas
Mackay Of the London Illustrated News. the
Hon. John Van Buren, James R. Whiting
Thalberg, the celebrated pianist; Capt. Upte.
graf, distinguished in the Mexican war Capts
Chnuncey and Bullus Of the Navy; Hicksor
w Field, ESQ, Paul Morphy, Esq, John Jay
and gentlemen. The greatest silence pre-
vhiled3 except when broken by the annou nee
ment Of the moves. Whatever conversation
took place was carried on in whispers, anc
whenever gentlemen with creaking leather
in his shoes moved over the floor universe

RoNANCB ON THE RIvER.-0n the 10Th in
slant, as the fine steamer Florida was about
starting ON her maiden trip from Omaha to St.
Louis, a tall. gaunt,fellow, of about twenty-six
autumns, came on board with blooming cou n
try girl, Of apparently not more than fourteen
gentle summers. He informed the clerk that
she was his sister, and 50 timorous that il would
be necessary that they should occupy a state
room together. The clerk saw that their mu-
tuai concern was deeply sincere, and assigned
them roorn-one next the captain
ing them as Mr.. Barbour and sister The sub
Ject being incidentally mentioned to the cap
tain, j. II. Baldwin, he remembered that a
young lady much resembling the fair passenger,
had come on board to see them away The
statement of the kind brother that they had no
relatives in that part of the country, and were
bound to Joliet, therefore excited his suspicion
plan was formed which resulted in converting
suspicion into certainty.
The captain, whose heart is in the right place,
consulted with his officers, and it was reso!y yed
unanimously that the pair should be welded.
The happy intelligence was communicated 10
the parties In the most consideratc and appro-
pirate manner. They were called into the cabin
and their mutually delightful destiny unfolded.
Ihe young lady at once rushed to her fraternal

couldn't pass for brother and sister?'' and

out prompting, her part Of the marriage ceres
mony, but he appeared to think her too will
ling. He was, however. informed succinctIy
Of the captains ultimatum-he must marry
her, or one should be landed ono side of the
river, and the other upon the opposite side To
this he seemed not unwilling to assent His
Hero, however, would not trust her Leander
across the Mississippi. But his rsluctancy was
overcome by the clerks solemn and confden-
tial assurance that the captain was in a terrific
passion, was a most desperate person, who
would sooner shoot man than eat, and that
he had pistol In his pocket, which, il was
plainly to be seen, his hand was burning to USE
The young gentleman, feeling thus compelled
to volunteer, explained that he would have
married before starting, but that he should
have missed the boat and, $50 help him God I"
he would have married her inst. Louis. Ar
rived at Brunswick, Mo, Justice of the Peace
was summoned, who shortly appeared in the
ladies' cabin, where circle was formed with
the happy twain in the centre, and they were
made one. The bride was the beaming picture

Capt Baldwin and the clerks-Messrs john

kissed the bride, whose gratitude sas un-
