The ApotheOsis Of Paul MOrphy.

FANNY ELLsLER, Ton THUMB, JENNY
LIND, kossurH, OLE Bull, PAUL MoRrHI!
Democratic America must have its sove-
reigns, and that in the royal line. The end
Of one reign is the beginning Of another,
and the democracy is never without its king
Just now we are living in the reign OF
PAUL MoRpnY, atat. 81, King Of Chess.
He is having progress " through his
American possessions In New York, the
poor son OF poor President, JOHN VAN
buren,, and the poor son OF poor prophet,
w. j. A. FULLER, united to do him
homage. In Boston, all the iterati and the
lteratuli met to throw the New Workers
loyalty into the shade The President, the
Preacher, and the Professors of Harvard
College, the teachers Of Law and the teach
ers OF Science, HOLMES, the witty and IN
sanctifed Autocrat, LOWELL, the Poet
STARR KING, the Minister, PIERCE, the
Mathematician, SPARKs, the Historian.
SHAW, the Chief Justice, and AGAssIz, the
Savant, met at the Revere House. and made
their eloquence, their wisdom, their learning,
their poetry, piety, puns and fun, tributary
to the praise of Paul MoRPHY, who has
done, what g-beaten everybody at the
game of chess.
PAUL MoRPHY is modest young man, OF
marvellous skill as chess player-skill
never equaled, probably, since the game left
its birthplace in farthest India to make the
tour OF the world. But the game is recre-
alton only. as he with true, modesty and the
keenest though unconscious satire, has SAID
perpetually, in reply to the fulsome adula-
ton of his admirers. His excellence in
this recreation, which is of an intellectual
or scientific sort, demands high praise and
should receive it; but where, when, and
how that is the question.
We cannot admire the answer OF the New
Workers and the Bostonians. What have
they left of praise and admiration, worth
acceptance, to offer to Woodworking, deep
thinking genius or merit OF q useful practi-
cal sort! Who that has added TO the en-.
during happiness or the wsll-being Of the
human race, wishes to receive their adjec.
tves OF the comparative degree, when the
mere chess player has exhausted their super
latiyes. For instance, would the inventor Of
the Telegraph care for praises at their hands,
when PAUL MoRPHY has there met his
apotheosis!
Billiards is . game almost as scientific Is
chess. PHRLAN's supremacy in the one
game is nearly as undoubted as MoRPHr,s
in the other. Ia it not the duty Of the
Atbenisns TO give PHKLAS q triumph"
also! He is gentleman, and as modest a.
MoRPHY. The King OF lizards, too, should
be crowned. The King OF Chess has
reigned long enough. Let EVERETT make
the GRAFTON. He and MoRrHY both write
tor the Ledge.) Let CHsArE DO eloquent
after the cloth is removed, and let LoSGPKI-
Low make the poem. II THEODORE PARKKR
gets back from Cuba in time, to him shall
be deputei the heavy piety.

Letter from Mr.. Montague.

The editor of the Norfolk Argus. having
written To Mr.. Montague TO obtain an express
sion of his views on Internal Improvements,
received the following response
To WILLIAM LAME. ESQ:
M Dcor Sri have Just received your
letter of the 10Th inst, and reply at once
NJ reply must necessarily be brief, but it
shall be frank.
While in the Legislature. | represented a
very decided anti Internal lmprovemcntcon-
stitucncv. and in obedience to their will did
vote against all appropriations for works Of
improvement. Under the same circumstances

Jokes ON the Susan's Passage.

We heard two very excellent practical
jokes which were perpctratcd by Captain
Maury. The sailors of the Susan deserted
before the vessel got out of the roads, except
the captain, and it is traditional at SEA that
it is not easy to convert a landsman into 4
sailor at short notice. The sea-dogs have
phrases of their own which are Greek to the
others. To obviate this defect, Capt. Maury
reSortcd to Il novel and ingenious e%xpcdicnt.
Every man on board, we suppose. knew how
Ia play cards. and the captain, taking advan-
tage of this skill, tied n card to each of the
ropes of the vessel. The orders then ran
somewhat in this fashion: Haul on the ace
Of hearts :" Let 90 the king of diamonds
Delay on the deuce of Spades &c. By this
means the c]xtemporizcd sailors soon got the
hang of the ropes, and affairs went Oh pref
ty smoothly.
The other anccdote is even drollcr. 1t
seems that Capt. Maury, when he went on
board the revenue cutter To discuss the ma
rinc laws. took in his pocket II lot of 'rat-tail
tiles'-thinking. perhaps, that he might
spike some of the guns while cruising about
the deck. He was aStoniShed on mounting
the cutters side by finding that the usual ar
mament was doubled. and expressed aston
iShment at it. After having discussed the
laws, &C., he walked about, admiring things
generally, and. perhaps. uttcring some ap-
prehensions that the Susan would stand no
chance from n broadside. In this way. with
'~'rat-tail files" convenient, he approached the
bow end of the vessel. and was about to ncu-
tralize two of the guns when they showed
life, and he discovered that they were cut
ter's men. imprOvised for the occasion rs two
guns, with tarpaulius over them, and look
Ing good enough guns at Il distance. The
joke was kept until he got TO the Susan, and
we suppose he related the discovery there
with great guStO.
