PAUL MoRPHY.-Of Paul Morphy, Il

PAUL MORPHY.-Of Paul Morphy, the
great chessplayer, New Orleans letter says :
He has turned out no lswyer-not even COM
mission merchant He is at present doing
nothing Once in a while the solitary athlete
can be induced 10 show that his power is only
in abeyance. saw him at private sesnce,
just before left, beat simultaneously, in
two and three. quarter hours, sixteen of the
most accomplished amateurs in New Orleans.
His strength has never been fully tested, and
will probably never be fully developed. Paul
Morphy is poor. Unlike Yankee he finds il
impossible to live on his talent. Opportunities
there are in abundance-rich offers for public ex-
hibitons of himself as delicate as those grasped
at by men who would pretend TO more honor.
He steadfastly refuses them. He was morbidly
sensitive to misiudgement, lest he be taken for
one who travels on his muscle and, on all
his journeys, betrayed his own expenses, and
always played in the presence only of select
companies, to which no money could gain
access. There seems to me to be certain at
traction in this fine delicacy, which one would
not encounter elsewhere, among US than in the
half foreign society of New Orleans, amid
which Mr.. Morphy was reared. 1t is dearer tc
him than wealth or renown, or the strange gift
by which he must get his daily bread or gC
without it.

A story is circulating which tells how fair
young thing went to Hartford drug store,
and told the man to fix up her one dose of castor
oil, and to mix it with something to take the
taste away. The man told her to wait. In a
few minutes he asked her is she felt like taking
a glass of soda water. She accepted the invita-
tion, and drank the beverage. Presently she
asked the roller Of pills why he didn't give her
the castor oil. The man smiled triumphant
smile, and said: Madam, you have taken it !;
| mixed a fearful dose with that soda water" P"
She turned pale she sank into chair; she
gasped: Immortal love | wanted it for my

and the druggist is not so certain whether his

De LA WAR; 1t was reported last Thurs
day, denied and finally confirmed that Charles
Richard, sixth Earl De la War; had drowned
himself in the river Cam. He was born in
1915; was Major General in the British army
for service in the Crimea and in India, and
only acceded 10 the earldom in 1869.
His death has some American interest,
owing to the connection of his family with this
country and the fact that his family name is
borne by State. The general belief that the
State of Delaware and the noble river of the
same name commemorate the Indian tribe who
lived upon and near them is wrong. The
tribe was the Lenape, branch of the Algon
quin race. The bay, and State, and river and
tribe all derived their name from that Lord DE-
Ia War;, or Ware, who was Governor Of Vir
ginia in 1910, and entered the bay that tool
its name from him that year. The adjacen
country was entitled from the bay, as was thu
river flowing into it and the race whom it sup
ported The family name was West, and tn
