The Old Richmond Chess Club.

Before the great fire of the Sd of April there
was, on the corner of Eleventh and Main
streets, Temple of Chess. Up steep and
most impracticable stairway into neat and
cosy little room the lovers of the game nightly
flocked. And these citizens, warriors, states
men and clergymen met in the mimic war
over the board. The fortune of war made
Richmond focus, and many strong players
were drawn thither by current Of events. All
were welcome, for there seems to be 4 sort OF
Freemasonry in the game. MoRPHY was here
twice during the course Of the war. There was
a Major BRoKENBKouGH, an artillery officer,
who handled the Club SO roughly that the We
teran player, Colonel JoHNsON, had to be called
up, and even he had a hard fight. The gallant
General JOHN PEGRAM played a dashing and
brilliant game. General JENKINS was also a
strong player Private soldiers-here the
peers of their generals-met them on chequered
field and the conscript and the legislator
fought on equal terms.
No trace of this little arena remains. 1t
passed away with the Confederacy, and
seemed a miniature of its downfall. Its castles
taken, it's kings dethroned, its knights cap
tured. and the fatal check mate proclaimed.
But let it be revived. There are many OF thu
old members here ; and this Club is now histo'
ric, and should be perpetpatcd. Fit up an
other room get together the old players chal
lcnge some of the big city clubs: and fight II

General Grant, the day before he lett
the Chicago Fair, was obliged to capitu-
late to the ladies', who took him by
storm. Mrs. Livermore said to him:
"These girls are dying to kiss y,ou-but
they don't dare to do it," "Well, " said
the gallant General, eff they want to
kiss me, why don't they? No one has
offered to since have been here" In,
stantly about hundred fairies bounced
upon him. He attempted retreat, but
in vain; he essayed to break through
the rosy ranks, without success. Then.
for the first time, he confessed himself
vanauished, and calmly awaited the
event. Never was such a man subjected
to such an ordeal. On came the maidens
by squads, in file, or singly; they hit
him in the forehead, pelted him on the
nose, smacked him on the cheek, chin
and neck. There must be dozens OF
kisses lying around loose hidden in the
Generals whiskers. During his terrible
ordeal the hero of a hundred battle
fields blushed until his face became al
most purple. At last the girls were
partly appeased in their "noble rage, I"
and he escaped.

REBEL CONTRAST BETWEEN LINCOLN

de-raction and abuse which has been show
cred upon President Lincoln by traitors

one OF his most virulent defamers, the
Charleston 1Nerc,ay, under date January

chair of the Presidency of the United

as he found it Whether he has strictly
kept his promise, those may doubt who
choose to consider the subject. 1t Is
enough for US to know, that whether run
ming his machine in the pathway OF his
predecessors or not, he has run it with a
stern, lnhexible purpose, bold, steady
hand, vlgilant, active eye, a sleepless
energy, fanatic spirit, and an eye single
to his end-conquest-ema He
has called around him, in counsel, the
ableSt and most earnest men of his coun-

ability, learning, experience, or statesman

able men about him, whose assistance he
unhes:tatingly accepts, whose powers he

"In the Cabinet and in the feld he has
consistently and fearlessly pressed on the
search Tor men who could advance his
cause, and has as unhesitatingly cut of all
those who clogged it with weakness, timid-
Ity, imbecility, or failure. Force, energy,
brains, earnestness, he has collected around
him in every department Blacksuard

end with an energy as untiring as an
Indian, and d singleness of purpose that
might almost be called patriotic If he
