THE TRUTH ABOUT MoRPHY.
He has Never Been Insane--He is Still
the Best of Chess Players.
From TIE Neap York S,ln.

New ORLEANS, April 28-The San of
the Oath inst. contains repetition of that
oft told lie about the insanity of Paul
Morphy-that he has not played chess for
long time, and so forth, ad ndasedna.
Will you have the kindness to publish the
following, which contains all tie facts con
corning Paul Molphy with which the pub
lie have anything to do?
lie is now practising law in this city. and
has never been insane or spoken of in that
relation by his family or friends
As to chess, he is unquestlonable to day
the best chess player IN the world, although
he does not play often enough to keep him.
sell in thorough practice. He gives tie
odds of knight to our. strongest player,
aud is seldom beaten, and perhaps never
wheu he cares to win.
His disappearance from Iublic view as
chess player has Just this expianation-no
more, no less.
The publicity and lionizing which at
trached to him for time, both in this
country and Europe, were always distaste
full to his family, and especially so to his
| mother.
On his return from bis Euronean trium oh 8
he entered into an engagement with his
mother never again to play for a money or
other stake; never again to play for a pub
lie game or game 10 public place, aud
| never again to encourage or countenanee
any publication of any sort whatever in
connection with his name.
This last clause in the agreement has
heretofore been so strictly construed as to
prevent any denial by him or his family OF
the numerous silly publications that have
been made concerning him. 1t is now
time, however, that the thing should be
stopped.
| Will you have the kindness to inform
the public at large, and newspaper para
graphers in particular that Paul Morphy is
engaged in strict attendance upon his own
affairs, and that his family and friends do
not at present adiudge him in need of any
assistance thereinl
