The invention of the game Of chess is
Chimcd Ivy the Chinese and the Ilindoos,
with more authority in favor Of the lat
ter. The HiudOO version is rs follows:
A certain Ilndoo prince oppressed his
people in IL Wo>t cruel manner, aud Ms
SIR, Il Brahmin, deeply cricyed at their
sorrows. drtcrmhed to try il he could
nor prevail upon the prince to be more
lrnipnt. With this idea in view, he in.
vented game where the king, weak in
himself, should he protected by his sub.
i,cts. As soon as the prince heard of
the new game, he sent for the inventor
to come and teach him. who improved
the opportunity to make known what
the game really taught. Another ac
count is hat it was invented hy the
Queen oi Crylon in the second century,
to amuse her husband with an image of
war at the time her capital was besriged.

The recriminations going on between
some of the newspapers located on the
Sound, AMI Others along the Columbia
river, those Of each locality trying to
tlatter their own advantages AS II ship
ping centre by degrading those Of the
other, are tar from beneficial to either.
If vessel entering one hnrhor happens
to lose yard or mast through the care
lessneSs or ignorance of masters or pilots,
the press ot the other port Immediately
magDities the disaster into dreadful pro-
portions and lays the entire blame to the
dangers of making the entry; at the
same time mentioning what fine harbor
lies in front of their own cities Such
| controversies can never work any bene-
fetal results tor either place. The dark
pictures Of each entrance painted by its
enemies will often he taken as the best
information by those contemplating the
risking of ships or merchandise upon
our waters; while the fair accounts each
publishes concerning security to vessels
in reaching its place of safety will be
often taken as "selt-praise," which is
"halt scandal" The truth is, both the
Columbia river and Puget Sound are
comparatively free from danger to YES
sells coming in or going to sea. Few
ports in other parts of the world have
50 much water on the bars at their en-
trance, aud with due skill and care the
character of these ports should rise to
the highest mark for safety. We do not
think a single vessel has changed its des-
tination from the Columbia river to Pu-
get Soung, or Uice cerSa, because of the
good report one published of itself, or
the bad name it gave it's neighbor, while
many sail has given them both wide
berth on account of the hard name each
has given the other. Let the champions
OF both places deal fairly by each other
and all will reap the reward due such
fine barbors and abundant resources.
