LIVING CHEssMEN.-Most persons who
have any acquaintance with the literature
of chess have heard of the games said to
have been played in the Middle Ages with
living chessmen. Lord Lytton recently
received this amusement in India. During
his visit to Mooltan, his lordship,
after receiving and replying to an address
from the municipality Of the city, en-
gagged, we are told, ''in a novel game of
chess with Col. Millett. The chess board,
if such term may be allowed to . car
pet of red and white calico with checkers
a yard square, having been spread in
front Of the hall, chessmen, men and
boys, dressed in opposing red and white
uniforms appropriate to the various pieces,
were marched in and took their places.
Then by word of command each piece
moved to the square indicated, and a
lively game ensued, ending in an easy
victory for the Viceroy." An emperor Of
Mexico who once INDUCED in q similar
amusement is said to have added ter
rible realism to the game by causing all
the pieces taken during the process to be
bsheaded.

A PARABLE.-Once upon time .
burglar, who had contrived to get himself
into Q gentleman's house in the night
time, was met by the owner Of the man
sion with little in the way Of dress, but
good deal in the way Of revolver. IF
you are . lsw-abiding citizen" said the
burglar, ''you will not imbrue your hands
in blood and alarm this quiet neighbor-
hood" "Your abstract proposition"
responded the proprietor, calmly) team
be better argued hereafter" He put
four bullets in various parts of the bur-
glars perron, and then continued: my
friend, your premises were not we'll
taken, because they were my premises;
therefore, your argument like your body,
falls to the ground"

IT has been proposed to settle the prob
lem of return freights to Brazil by send
ing thither American coal. The talk is
of an expectation of 1000, 900 tons year,
thus: 1--WE ought to pay for large part
of our purchases in Cuba and of coffee in
Brazil with Cumberland coal, delivered
on the spot, instead of as now settling the
bills for these imports with Western corn
delivered in Liverpool" This is only
part of the truth. We ought to pay for
all of them with American coal and corn
and manufactures; and instead of having
a balance of trade against us from those
countries amounting to over $3.50, 000, 900,
the equilibrium ought to be restored, and
disturbed, if at oil, in the other direction.
A line of steamers, feet of American
owned iron sailing ships, and few more
American commercial houses in South
America and the Indies would effect this
desirable result with profit to all con-
cerned.

A coon story is told of a well-known
Broad street broker, who on his way
home from the club the other evening,
managed to occupy considerable more
than two-thirds of the Madison avenue
sidewalk. In this predicament he was
met by two seedy individuals, who first
relieved him Of his watch, and then
tumbled him over into the snow. As he
lay there shouting for help, two other in
dividuals came along and inquired
"What's the mstteri" "Why," said the
broker, "here I've-hic-been robbed of
my-hic-watch." "Didn't they take
your money!" asked the strangers.
"Don't know" said the broker, feeling in
his breast pocket for his wallet. mo,
here 'tis-hic-money's all right" swell,
we'll take that, then" said the strangers,
as they seized the wallet and disappeared
around the first corner.-Commsreia i'd

MR.. HENRY MEIGGs, the enormously
wealthy railway contractor of South
America, is q native of this State, and
about 85 years old. He first sought his
fortune in California, and opened up the
great lumber interests Of that Western
coast. He engaged in many schemes of
public benefit but being obliged to bor-
row money the usurious rates Of interest
then prevailing in California took him
beyond his depth, and he went to South
America leaving behind him heavy liabil-
tiles. There he made large sums as q
railway contractor and then settled the
California claims. He owns two resi-
dences--one in the City of Lima and the
other in the suburbs-where he dispenses
hospitality oevery American or foreigner,
and especially to Californians, on every
possible occasion. No American was
ever hard pressed for money without
Mr.. Meiggs coming to his rescue and
supplying him with means to 60 to any
part of the world he might desire. His
"Quinta," or private dwelling-house, is.
situated in the midst of sixty acres Of
pleasure grounds, filled with the rarest
fruits and flowers. Half Of the entire
product of his orchard he gives to the
Sisters Of Charity in the city, who come
and gather it themselves every year. In
religion Mr.. Meiggs is Protestant, but
he has allowed his children perfect free
dom in the choice of creeds. Two of
them are Roman Catholics, and third
Episcopalian.-N. Y. Tribune.

Of the third chapter of Genesis, which

A REFORMED drunkard 1T temperance
meeting in Pittsburg, Pa, when the su-
dience laughed at his red nose, told them
it was no laughing matter; to bring his
nose To that state Of blooming perfection
had cost him at least $4,000. Then they
laughed louder than ever.

There are plenty Of new States and Terrific,
ries in prospect. Utah wants to get in as the
State of Deseret, and New Mexico is equally
t"raiouo to JUN tie Unior, undor como Mox
ican-Indian name. It is also proposed to
divide Dakotah into three new Territories.
The eastern part Is to be rechristened as either
Huron or Pembina. The act creating this
Territory has already passed the Senate Com
mittee, and will undoubtedly be favorably re-
ported and adopted by Congress in a few days.
In theWestern part of Dakotah the Black Hills
folks think that they have arrived at degree
Of Importance that entities them to recogni-
ton as citizens of the new Territory of Lincoln.
1t is possible that they may succeed In having
a new Territory created, but not under this
name proposed. Congress decided some time
since that no territory should receive the name
Of anyAmerican citizen, however illustrious he
may have been, holding that such system was
confusing, Illogical, and based on no proper
idea of nomenclature The people of Colorado
were anxious to enter the Union under the IL
lustrious title of the State of Jefferson. but
this name was actually refused by Congress-
and the Coloradians requested to find some
better title for the new State.
The advocates of the Territory of Oklaho-
ma. to be formed out Of q part OF the Indian
Territory, are also advocating this measure
before Congress.
Schoolboys will scarcely be able to keep up
with the geography of this country, under
these circumstances.
