CHESS by telegraph has been played inst nov

CHESS by telegraph has been played just now
at the Crystal Palace at Norwood, on scale
never tried before. Games were conducted
over the wires with five towns in the United
Kingdom, twenty games being carried on sim
ultaneously. The Metropolitan players were,
on the whole, decidedly successful as against the
provincials, which is usually the case, and some
of the games are described as of much interest
and beauty. Besides the telegraphic contests,
one Herr Zuikertort, new star in the chess
armament achieved the dstracting feat of
Paulssen and few others of playing ten games
blindfolded at once, and Herr Stefnitz, whose
fame is already established, gained some fresh
and enviable laurels.

Up at North Conway, day or two since, q
party visited Echo Lake, to take little chance
in rowing. To reach the lake, it is necessary
to cross a small stream, which is too wide for
jump; there is no bridge, and as the water is
only waist-deep, the tourists have to off trow-
sers and wade. A party of gentlemen, on the
way back having not yet donned their ''pants,"
were making good Roadway, when carriage
was deserted coming toward the ford, and the
occupants supposed only to be boys. Unfortu-
nately, a lady happened to be on the back seat
she turned her pretty head aside, and the
water-bound gentlemen ''stood fire" while they
passed over. Such incidents are common, they
say, up in the North Conway region, and the
ladies are often parties to the scene.

SPOTTED TAIL AND HIS BRAvRs.-On
Wednesday, these chiefs of the Sioux visited
Stewards in New York. The party consisted of
Spotted Tail and his squaw, Two Strike, Squat
ting Bear, Swift Bear Iron Shell, Yellow Hair,
and two squaws. At Stewards the Indians re-
garded the array of gayly colored silks and
other costly fabrics with great interest-the
squaws in particular, true to the instincts of
their sex, of whatever race, looking with long
ing eyes at the rich silks and srare laces dis
played in such profusion. About half an hour
was spent at Stewards. Spotted Tail and his
wife were gayly, but somewhat uncomfortably,
draped in thick blanket shawls, and he wore
black felt hat Mrs. Spotted Tail had the part
ing of her hair covered with yermilion, and
sported very elaborate earrings The rest of
the party were eighteen in number. One wore
linen duster over shirt which was allowed to
hang loosely over his leggings, and carried
"Greeley' fan. They were all attired in true
Indian fashion, and some wore punches of arti-
fetal flowers on their hats

Shall Girls Play the Piano :

Most young ladies play the piano as
an Accomplishment. a girls etuca-
ton is as much based on the piano as u
boys is on the Latin grammar, and too
often with similar results. n girl
without musical taste objects to Mozart,
as Il boy without II classical turn hates
Caesar. by all means let every girl be-
gin by learning the piano. Such II
chance for gaining n sympathetic COM
panion for life should never be thrown
away. Even to the unn,usical girl it is
valuable us Il training, and to the mu-
steal girl its value is beyond price. But
If \ person is not musical, piano-forte
instruction, after II certain point, is only
waste of time. AS Il general rule, mu-
steal talent develops early, or not Mt all.
Why should not the girl try drawing,
or paintings, or literary composition
Why should tho money be spent Oh
her music, when she has, perhaps,
shown some other gift !? Many girl
with real literary or artistic taste has
achieved excellence in nothing because
her energies have been concentrated
upon the piano, which she will never
be able to play, or upon songs which
arc just as we'll unsung. How many
there are who would fain be spared the
humiliation of exposing their weak
points! The piano is a source of trouble
to them and their friends. They cry
over their music lessons, their friends
groan over the result, and it is difficult
to say which is tho worst oH-tho pro-
fcsscr who has to teach, tho pupil who
has to learn, or the people who have to
listen. But the cause of music suffers
most of nll.--MitSic and Mort,ls.
