IL Chess an Intellectual Game.

The Boston Courier dissents from the pop
ular encOmiums of 1.-The intellectual game of
chess" and objects to the gloriication of
its champions. 1t says:
ave cannot assent to the disposition mani
ferred, naturally enough by distinguished
chess PLAYERS to magnify their Office and func-
ton We cannot admit that there is any me-
cessary and inevitable connection between
eminence in chess playing and in general in
tellectual superiority. While it is true that
many distinguished men have been excellent
chess-players, it is never equally true that the
dence of conspicuous ability in anything else
There were many men at the Boston banquet
on Tuesday evening, whom we should rank
in intellectual stature far above Phillidor,
Macdonald, Des Chapclles, De la Bourdanais,
whether dead or living.
The game of chess is certainly intellectual
game so is whist, with, to be sure, an ele-
ment of chance superadded; so is checkers.
But is but a game after,all and the best
thing you can say of it is that it is very ex-
cellent contrivance to enable idle men to get
through the lazy-pacing hours without damage
to the packet, the conscience of the constitu-
ton. 1t is, for an amusement, the nearest
possible approach to real intellectual work.
But it is barren tree; it bears the blossoms
of entertainment, but not fruit of utility
the rest of mankind are very little benefited,
mentally, morally, or materially, by the dill
gent study Of the game of chess by limited
circle. To our taste, too, the spectacle OF two
men, especially young men, crooking their
spines for hours and trying knots their brains,
over parcel of figures cut in white and read
ivory is little dreary but this is merely a
matter of taste, and we are far from insisting
that others shall square their conduct by the
line of our tastes

Cannabalism on the Plains.

An old man, who stopped at the New
England Hotel, last night, told frightful sto-
ry of cannibalism on the plains, between
Pixies Peak and st. Joseph, Missouri. He
was direct from Araria City, which is located
right in the heart Of the so-called cold region.
He left Genesee county, NJ Y, in mid WIN
ter, and with his son and nephew, two full
grown men, started for Pixies Peak. He
said they found the Peak humbug, and start
ed for home. They had been forced to sell
their oxen, wagons, &C., at the Peak, and
therefore proposed performing the journey to
St. Joseph on foot. They had weeks stock
of provisions in their knapsacks, and trusted
to luck to get through. When some hundred
miles on their way, they overlook party of
emigrants, who, like themselves, were re-
turning to the States in destitute condi-
ton, and on foot. This party was almost in
state Of starvation, and greedily pounced
upon the old mans now scanty stock of pro-
visions. They all went on, hoping to meet
some Peak bound train, which would relieve
them. But they were disappointed. On the
tenth day out, two Of the party that the old
man and his son and nephew had come upon,

died of starvation. They were buried by
the comrades. One of them was from Mo
row county, in this State. His name was,
Jas. Richards. The other was from New Hamp-
shire, but the old man did not remember his
name The wrctched party crowded on un-
til the next day, when another died, and was
buried like those who had died the day before.
Matters were now appallingly desperate, and
one of the party proposed they should draw
lots to see which one should be killed and
eaten by the rest!; This was done trem-
blingly and silently, and the old mans
nephew was the unhappy loser in the
terrible game for life. He was despatched by
one of the survivors of the party they had
overtaken, and eaten by the miserable men.
The next day, towards night, they met an
outward bound train. They pounced upon
the oxen, and slew them out right, before
the astonished owners could offer word of
remonstrance. They at length reached St. Jo-
seph, where they separated. The old man
and his son found friend there, who loaned

From the Chicago Press and Tribune Of June 17th
Financial Troubles in Minnesota.

The people of Minnesota have experienced,
at an earlier day than we had anticipated, a
foretaste Of the evils growing out of the mis-
taken policy of lending the credit of that State
to the horde of spectators and sharpers con-
nected with her projected system of railroads.
Although their troubles have but Just begun,
their present condition is deplorable in the ex-
treme. The most profound despondency has
settled down upon all classes, which, to a
stranger just landed in any one of her princ-
pal towns, is suggestive of the times of dead
ly epidemics, when the victims of today re-
ceive sepulture at the hands of those who will
require the same sad offices of others to-mor-
row.
Since the revulsion of 1857 set in, every
part of the country has experienced more or
less pecuniary reverses and embarrassments;
but in Minnesota there have been superadded
to the burthens which the people of other
States they have borne in common with the
pressure Of loan of five millions of dollars
which they must Eventually pay, both princi.
pal and interest, an also an irresponsible cur
rency based upon these bonds issued to meet
this loan. Their condition is precisely what
ours would be in Illinois if, in addition to the
late financial revulsion and the partial failure
of the crops for the last two years. we were
about to be saddled with double the rates of
our present taxation, and if the currency, fur
nished by our stock security banks, had sud-
denly become worthless in the hands of the
people. #hife we deeply sym pathise with
our neighbors for finding themselves involved
in financial difficulties from which extrication
is well nigh impossible, it affords US not a lit
tie qualification to remember, that while yet
they had the power to avert the evil, we urged
them to use it wisely to that end.
The history of the projected railroad sys
tenn in Minnesota is familiar to readers OF the
Saint Paul weekly Minnesotian., 1859-07-02
A Man with Four Eyes.

A new wonder has been discovered in New
York, in the person of a man named Karl
Saul, who, is is asserted, has four eyes,! He
has one pair in the usual place and another in
the back of his head. A correspondent Of the
Euening Post, who enjoys the acquaintance
of the individual, says that both sets of eyes
are perfect, and he sees backwards and for
wards at the same time, with equal ease com
pretending at glance everything within the
range of his vision either way, the objects
which he simultaneously beholds he will des-
cribe with wonderful accuracy. Indeed, he
is remarkable for his descriptive powers. Mr..
Saul is man of extreme diftidence, and the
popularity ofhis visual construction has been
carefully concealed, and has heretofore been
known only to some of his most intimate
friends. The back of the head is quite fiat :;
but he has long hair, which effectally conceals
the large eyes, which are generally protected
by a bandage." AS if the above is not won
derful enough, the correspondent of the Post,
makes the following wonderful statement -
"Heis highly intelligent and social in his hab-
its, and owns considerable property, which
he has accumulated by hard work and honest
industry"

WHAT MIGHT BE DONE.

What might be done, if we were wise
What glorious deeds, my suffering brother,
Would they unite
In love ard right.
And cease this scorn of one another!
Oppression's heart might be imbued
With kindling drops of loving kindness,
All knowledge pour,
From shore to shore,
Light on the eyes of mental blindness.
Oppression, warfare, lies and wrongs,
ALI vice and crime might die together,
And milk and corn,
To each man born,
Be free as warmth in summer weather.
The meanest wretch that ever trod,
The deepest sunk in guilt and sorrow,
Might stand erect,
In self-respect,
And share the teeming world tomorrow.
What might be done? This might be done,
And more than this, my suffering brother
More than the tongue
Fer said or sung,
If men were wise, and loved each other.

CHANGES.

Whom first we love, you know we seldom we'd
Time rules us all. And Life, indeed, is not
The thing we planned it out ere hope was dead,
And then, we women cannot choose our lot
Much must be borne which it is hard to bear
Much given away which it were sweet to keep
God help us all who need indeed His care,
And yet know, the shepherd loves his sheep.
Ny little boy begins to bubble now
Upon my knees his earliest infant prayer.
He has his fathers eager eyes, know,
And, they say too, his mothers sunny hair.
But when he sleeps and smiles upon my knee,
And can feel his light breath come and 60,
i think Of one (heaven help and pity meD
Who loved me, and whom loved long ago.
Who might have been-ah what dare not think!
We are all changed. God judges for us best :!
God help us do our DUTY and not shrink,
And trust in heaven humbly for the rest.
But blame us women not if some appear
Too cold ut times; and some too gay and light,
Some griefs gnaw deep. Some woes are hard to
bear.
Who knows the Past and who can Judge US
right.
All, were we judged by what we might have been,
And not by what we are, too apt TO fall!
Nv little chid-he sleeps and smiles between
These Thoughts and me. In heaven we shall

A Lawyer Taking 1t Coony at l4O De-
grees.
Baron Anderson, in letter to one of his
sons says:
Il have been obliged at last to send for
Sir Benjamin Brodie, to see me for my scia-
ia; and to-day, by his order, 1 have been
stewed alive in vapor bath. Dreadfully hot,
l can tell you-l40 degrees, while a hot bath
is 90 degrees. Yet it was not unpleasant af-
ter all; for hot air does not burn like water, as
it communicates its heat gradually to you, air
being what they call bad conductor of heat
So, by the time hot air makes you warm, a
perspiration breaks out and cools you again.
People have been known to bear 400 degrees
of heat without serious Inconvenience. Sir
Francis Chantry told me once he had gone in
to an oven where he baked his moulds, which
is heated by nearly red-hot plate at the bot
tom He wore thick wooden shoes to protect
his feet, and flannel dress, and was able to
bear it very well. That was a dead heat that
would bake pie, and yet man alive would
not be heated much above blood heat, or
about 100 degrees. Is not this curious p
Life is able, you see, to bear heat which
would roast dead body"
