PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF THE CzAR.-An
American who has inst been presented at the
Russian Court describes the Gar as of tau
figure, perfectly formed and distinguished
by as noble and martial bearing as Nicho-
las himself could have boasted. Fair COM
plexion and an oval face, set of by a neat
brown moustache. A nose not noticeable
except for its utter freedom from the pug of
his grandfather, the Emperor Paul. Hair
cropped off close to the head in the summer
style adopted by FrenchmeD. A large beau
tifal eye of the mildest blue, as clear and
soft as girls, yet by no means insipid in
expression. A pleasant, cordial voice, and q
manner as far removed from haughtiness as
from any affectation of condescension. A
noble, manly bearing, and physique set of
advantageously by military uniform. Al
together, handsome, attractive parsonage
who would at once prepossess, although not
impressing one at first sight with an idea oi
extraordinary ability"

Before Judge Hoadly, on a demurrer to the
answer. The action was on a note, and tie
defense was failure of consderation-said
consideration being plsying-cards, which
the defendants claimed were made for pur
poses of gambling--and that plaintiffs ought
not to recover.
Judge Hosdly remarked that cards were
sometimes used for play without gambling,
and he was not at all disposed to say the an

A lady recently escaped from Virginia tells
as that on the occasion of an alarm among
the rebels in the town where she was resid'
ing, from a report that the Union troops
were coming through the town, the amiable
old Secession ladies poisoned their preserves
and other nice things and when the rumor
proved false, they felta little sorry, no doubt,
as the preserves were all gone "fOr nix"
The same lady says that there was not one
yard of Calico and but one hoop skirt for
sale in the townl What wonder chat all the
women were savage at Lincoln, as they never
take the trouble TO think that he was not to
President, and that JEFF Davis & Co. had no
more provocatiOn to kick out of the traces
when he was elected than before.

AMERICAN CHESS IN ENGLAND We learn,
from the late London papers, that Mr.. Louis
PaulseD, who was the greatest of Morphy's
American competitors in the game of chess,
has recently come out as the first victor at
the recent tournament of the British Chess
Association. The contest of the players had
narrowed itself down to Mr.. Boden, of Lon
don, and Mr.. Paulsen; and the former gen.
tlemsn had preferred to stake the laurels of
the occasion upon the deciding game instead
of the usual three. The game was opened by
Mr.. Borden, with a Ruy Lopez attack,
whereupon Mr.. Paulsen adopted what the
English reporters call novel style of de-
tense, which not only bewildered his antag-
onist, but puzzled all the lookers-on. In a
dozen moves the advantage was entirely on
the side of the American player, and, pre-
serving it throughout, he was declared, at
the end of the game, the first prize victor of
the tournament.
After this event, match was made by the
London Chess Club between Mr.. Paulsen
and Mr.. Koisch. They will contend for the
first nine games, and the time for the moves
is stipulated 10 be twenty for each two hours
and half The match will doubtless prove
of immense interest," as Mr.. KOlisch is the
player who recently challenged Mr.. Morphy
! for the sum of fl000 a side. Mr.. Paulsen,
though a German by birth, arrived at man
hood in this country, and the whole of hi:
chess history ard training was developed in
the brilliant school of the United States
WiLkess Spirit Of the Times

THE STUFF Qua SOLDIERS ARE MADE Of
The Sixth Maine Regiment has earned the
soubriquet of the "Wood- choppers" by fell
ing acres and acres of woodland across the
Potomac, TO deprive the enemy Of skulking
places for sharpshooters. They cut the trees
about three feet from the ground, telling
them all one way, thus forming Gbbdttis
through which neither horse nor man can
pass.
Military roads have also been cut from the
bridges and ferry, which rival the famous
pathways of the Roman legions, traces OF
which are still to be seen in the countries
which they conquered. One OF these roads,
leading from Fort Ethan Allen, at the Chain
Bridge, to Falls Church, will long remain q
monument TO the industry OF the Vermont
ers who constructed IT. -
