VIZ used to hear that full dressed man
down in Georgia, confined himself simply to
dicky and pair of spurs. We have seen in the
Southwestern country some styles bordering
closely upon such a fashion. These are outdone
however, according to the letters of the news
writersfrom Paraguay, who record lit asa fact that
gentlemen there wear nothing but hat, and
only this so as to make a fair show of obeisaucc
to Lopez when they meet him.

EUcHRE BY TELEGRAPH.-The Chicago TINES
of the oath ult, contains the following capial
''take-of" on the game of chess recently plaz-
ed by telegraph by New York and Philadelphia:
Having observed that the papers are daily
publishing reports of a game of chess, which a
couple of chess clubs" in some obscure towns
down east have been playing by telegraph, G.
Whillkins and his friend Spriggins, reporta1
to be the most expert euchre players in Bridge
port, proceeded to challenge any two playeS
which Chicago could produce to match game
of euchre for the championship of the canal, toi
be played by telegraph. The challenge was
simultaneously accepted; buta rather serious diff.
ticulty was found to be in the way. There was
no telegraph between Bridgeport and Chicago!
What was to be done? The challenge had been
accepted by Chicago, and with the stipulation
that the game should come off according to the
terms OF the challenge, or Chicago was to be de-
clared the victor. There was obviously trick
IN tins; but the designs of Chicago were frus-
tFated, and the difficulty was overcome by the
fertile genius of Bridgeport 1t was decided to
lay down submarine cable in the bed of the
river expressly for the purpose, and in order
that Chicago might not find some pretext to
oacH out this was done secretly, so that nobody
but the parties interested have even yet found
1t out. The cable for the purpose was procured
at ten per cent onits original cost from Tiffanys
nO-mfstake Atlantic Cable taken from the Nj
agara.
Everything being arranged, the parties ''cut
Tor deal, by each cutting chunk off his end
OF the cable and reporting its length to the um-
Pires at the opposite end The party having
the longest chunk was entitled to the deal
The deal fell to Bridgeport The cards were
then shuffled by means of galvanic battery
and horseshoe magnet, the process of which
the parties at present refuse to explain. 1t would
appear from the run of the game on the first
hand, to be one of the most efficient systems Of
shuffling extant
The cards were dealt and the trump tnrned
up was diamond. Upon examining his hand
the first Chicago player passed Bridgeport
No. also passed, and then Chicago No. 9
passed. The dealer turned it down, and Chi
cago made clubs trump. The playing then
| commenced.

TnE GREAT WEsr.-The Editor of the Buffalo
Express has recently passed through portions of
the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iadiana, Him
ois, Michigan aud Wisconsin, and finds by OBJ
servaton, that the young giant is crippled in his
energies:
The West is borne down with debt, and sym
pathizes deeply with the general arrangement
OF the business interests of the country.
The resources of the States to which we allude
seem to have failed, atterly, of sufficient devel-
Opment to serve the wants of business and trade
The grain crop has not interposed its benefits
in the way of relieving the farmer from the
pressing demands of his debts A repeated
short crop has of course had general dcpress-
ing effect upon every avenue of business.
The merchant and mechanic suffer, and the
multpicitieS of thCroughfares that have been
constructed at great expense fail to realize from
the carrying trade which they anticipated, the
means to reward their enterprise, aud thus these
great States, which have in their earlier history
promised to be the most thrifty and prosperous
IN the Union, now sit in the vale of poverty,
and await with patience the return of the tide
which Shall aggrandize and elevate them once
more to the scale of wealthy and prosperous
members Of the Federal compact.
The existing calamity is in part attributable
to the wild and ungovernable spirit of specula-
ton which has swept over the Western States
and to the DEGREES of providence as they have
been demonstrated in unpropitious seasons and
failure in the crops. City and country suffer
There is one interest which reaches the peck
ct OF the property holder in the West in which
there is no decline. Taxation seems to urge its
claims with unceasing force, and to apply the
thumb screws of its power with doubly eppres-
sive effect. This helps to magnify the Gistresses
of the people, and bears down the energies of
the country with disastrous consequences.
The West can only be redeemed from its pres.
industry aud economy, which shall struggle to
produce and to save the profits thereof until
this load of debt shall be wiped out and the en-
orgies of the country relieved from this incubus
which now bears them down.

How SPIRITS GET THEIR CREATURE COMFORTS
The spiritual intercourse is certainly enlar-
ging. A spirit as we noticed the other day in
our columns, waited on Judge EdmOnds, and
wanted him to take drink through an earthly
medium. The Pawtucket Gazette relates the
following incident of spiritual communication,
which quite exceeds the Judges story:
"An enthusiastic believer was relating to a
skePhc the spiritual performances to which he
could testify. and among other things said that
on a certain occasion the spirit o. his wife, who
had been dead several years, returned to him,
and seating herself upon his knee, put her arms
around him, and kissed him, as much to his
qualification as she used to when living. You
do not mean to say remarked the skeptic,
that the spirit Of your wife really embraced and
kissed your No, not eractly that replied the
believer, 'but her spirit took possession of the
body of female medium, and through her em-
braced and kissed me- +"

TnE editor of the Hamilton, O., Iuteuigencer

The editor of the Hamilton, o., Iutelligsncsr
says in his paper oflast week:
Were to young to know whether we are in
favor Of an Editorial Convention or not We
rather think we are, however, because we hear
there is usually something good to eat and drink
provided on these occasions, and we should be
glad to see how editors behave themselves I'M
der Suchicircumstances. Besides, we want very
much to sec company of editors together, and
think, on the whole, that the Intelligencer may
be set down as voting for Convention.
Upon which the ever wakeful Cincinnati
Commercial comments thus:
You should not, however, be so young as to
be unable to spell words of one syllable. You
are not ITO young, but "toO young" There
now, be good boy, and learn your spelling
lesson better another time. And we must as.
sure you, in this connection, that you will never
more have any desire "lo see how editors be-
have themselves under. such circumstances -
The truth is, they behave very badly indeed
and as for appearances, they don't look WE'LL.
Better change your vote.

SYDNEY SMITH REVIVED on THE BANKS OF TIE
MrsssrsrPPL-An article on Edgar A. Poe, in
the Edinburg Review for April, of the present
year, calls forth the indignation of the Nashville
Gazette, which, after describing the reviewers
remarks as "refned Billingsgate," reprOves
Sydney Smith, whom it conceives to be the au-
thor, in the following terms:
''If the Rev. Sydney Smith, the editor of the
Edinburgh Review, had more of the scholar and
less of national prejudice, he would have devo-
ted the time expended in the before mentioned
paragraph to a much better purpose by more
critical analysis of the writings of Poe. In fact
we think that the author Of the Raven and An
mabel is above and beyond the critical acumen
of the reverend gentleman"
