NATIONAL CHESS CONGRESS.
PAUL MORPHY THE WINNER.


This festival of the devotees Of Csssa is now rap
idly drawing to close. After prolonged and gallant
struggle, Mr. Psulsen has succumbed to the pro wess
Of the yourg Louisianan, Paul Morphy-a result
which was long ago foreseen by nearly every member
of the Congress, and which least of all sstonshed
Mr. Pau,en. On the latters arriving in this city, he
declared bis opinion that in the event of Mr..
MoIphys entering the list, he would certainly be
cessful, and hi, convictions now TO be right.
number Of gentlemen, whose admiration for Mr..
Morphy had led them to depreca.e his antagonist,
were somewhat. hurt at the determined opposition
which the former met WITH and stated at the out
set that Mr.. Paulsen would not draw game; winning
one they considered impossblity. Iospte Of theso
prophets, he drew two and won one-this being the
only lost game to Mr.. Morpbysscore in the Tourna-
ment during which time he played Is games against
four competitors. This proves beyond doubt that he
is incontestably the strongest player in the United
Sates az aso that Mr. Paulsen s.ards ncontestaby
the second.
This National Chess Congress has developed two
facts. We have gentleman /" to the manor born"
who has proved himself the peer of the greatest Euro
pean players, and whom we verify believe will serve
all antagonists in the Old World he has done those
in the New. This is the opinion of eminent chess
players who have watched him throughout this tour
nsmert ard who themse res have played with many
of the leading practitioners of the age.
This Congress has made famous young man whose
incredible performances in blindfold playing have
astonished all classes of citizens, causing him to
become the talk and wonder of our city. Mr.. Paul
Gems name is now household word" wherever chess
is known.
The prizes in the two Tournaments win be pre-
sened next week. aud Mr.. Paulsen will, at the same
time, receive the testimonial for his bindfold play
The occasion will be made Of great interest

DRowsTD IN A SINGULAR MAyNER.-At 81. John,
n, B., on Friday night, it being very dark, a msn
named Archibald Brown walked off one Of the
wharves when the tide was opt. He CROPPED his way
sorg in tbe mud, but instead Of taking course thst
would extrica.e himself from his unpleasant predca-
me Mt he wandered up among the spiles beneath the
wharf where. of course he became more bewidered
than ever The rising tide made him conscious Of his
dar ger and by shouts and noise he enabled TO at
tract the notice Of persons passing in the vicinity but
TOO late for succor As the tide rose, he climbed to
the top Of the sples and through small aperture in
the wharf sufficient to admit one OF his arms be was
enabed TO inform them Of his situation. His position
and feelings can be imagined when the water was
every moment rising around him, and he could not be
s4ircated. He shook hands with his friends, passed
through the hole all the money and valuables he had
about his person, and Just the water was closing
over him, after giving some directions concerning his
family, he bid his friends good bye, and the gurglng
water beneath announced that all was over. His
body was recovered when the tide receded. Mr.:
Brown was highly respected He leaves ia nily sud
many friends.
