The Living Chess Game.

This interesting spectacle came of last
Friday night in the presence of large audi
ence prepared for enjoyment and not disap-
pointed. Unfortunately there Ees a consid-
cradle delay at first in consequence, as we
are informed, of one of the gallant knights
not being able to get armed for the fray soon
enough. That did not signify much, how
eVeri our GAINESVILLE people when they go
to q show go as much to talk as to see, aad
an active murmur Of conversation filed the
interval.
When the curtain rose the floor of the
platform was seen TO be divided into altern-
ate squares, white and red. Messrs. Mein-
hardt and Rhodes were seated at a small
chess table in the background, and very
soon a lilliputian army of sixteen pawns
marched on. These were sweet little girls,
averaging about six years old. After going
through several intricate evolutions they
were Joined by the pieces of higher rank.
These consisted OF two kings and th'ir
queens arrayed in cTowns and royal robes
and the latter in the still more dazzling at
tire of youthful loEeiineSs; four reverend
bishops in full canonical yestiments, four
gallant knights in the cavaliers costume of
the middle ages, and finally the castles,
which alone were ipanimate and were
moved by the seneschais when required,
Messrs. Meinhardt and Rhodes opened
their game on the board, and as each made
made move the seneschals (Dr. Acree and
Mr.. G.. Castner) guided the living players to
a similar movement. We were not able to
follow the game very closely, but could see
that towards the close the white Pagns were
dangerously near the royal line of the red,
bat red managed at this stage, by exchang-
ing pawns and leaving only the bishops and
kings on the board, to draw the game.
The curtain fell and soon rose again to
display the actors IN beautiful t2hIeau.
Some interesting music was introduced
before and after the game, and we were de-
lighted to see two of our musical friends
again oI the platform with whom we have
been associated in former times IT, the prac-
tice of the tuneful art. We prefer to record
them by the names they then bore, but
which they have seen fit TO change since
those days; they were then known as Miss
Z. Hall and Miss George BEAUMONT, Misses
Lena Hume and Ellen Kennedy and one or
Two younger ladies also charmed the audi
ence and sent home delighted company In
the best possible humOr.

Astonishinn Effort Of Mind.

A healthy mind, schooled to self-con-
troll, can perform by system wonders of
work that seem almost supernatural to
careless people.
Mr.. Rosenthal, the celebrated French
chess player, recently performed another
Of those surprising mental feats for
which he is SO famous. He played at the
Palais Roya twenty-seven games of chess
at once with that number of the best
French and foreign chess players.
1t was stipulated that Mr.. Rosenthal
should have only one minute for each
move, passing along the twenty-seven
tables in order. OF course each of his
antagonists had time to study the game
while Mr.. Rosenthal was busy at the
other twenty-six tables.
1t is quite unnecessary to point out
the mental strain of keeping thus in mind
so large a number of games at once dur
ing the time they lasted, which was from
nine o'clock at night until two o'clock in
the morning.
The result was marvellous. Mr.. Ros-
entbal won twenty-three games, three
were drawn, and he lost only one, which
was gained by a Hungarian player
named Rakowski, who thus achieved q
victory of which he may well be proud.

A String Of Titles.

The following extract is from an in
terview which correspondent of the
London Daily NewS had with the King
of Burmah: Then door opened in the
left side of the garden-house, and there
entered first, an old, gaunt, beardiess
man-the chief eunuch-closely followed
by the king, otherwise unattended. He
came on with quick step, and sat down,
resting his right arm on the crimson
cushion on the ledge in the center of the
railing. He wore a white silk jacket and
loonghi, Or petticoat robe, of rich yellow
and green silk. His only ornaments
were his diamond ear jewels. AS he
entered all bent low, and when he had
seated himself herald, lying on his
stomach, read aloud my credentials.
The literal translation is as follows
"So-and So, great newspaper teacher,
of the Daily Ne,0s, of London, tenders to
his Most Glorious Excellent Majesty,
Lord ofthe Ishaddan, King of Elephants,
master of many white elephants, lord of
the mines of gold, silver, rubies, amber,
and the noble serpentine, Sovereign of
the Empires of Thunaparanta and Tam
padipa and other great empires, and
of all the umbrella wearing chiefs, the
supporter of religion, the Sun-descended
monarc 1, arbiter of life, and great, right
eous king, King of Kings, and possessor
of boundless dominions and supreme
wisdom, the following presents The
reading was intoned in comical high
recitative, strongly resembling that used
when our church service is intoned, and
the long-drawn Phya-a-a-a (my lord)
which concluded it added to the resem-
blance, as it came in exactly like the
" Amen " of the Liturgy
The reading over, the return presents
were picked up by an official, and
bundled over to me without any cere-
mony, the king meanwhile looking on in
silence, chewing betel and smoking a
cheroot. Several of the courtiers were
following his example in the latter re-
spect.

Rajn.Makjnu in Africa.

One of the most universal of the count
less superstitions of South Africa is the
beliefin rain-making," power attri-
buted to certain famous native sorcer-
ers, who go from tribe to tribe, feasted
and rewarded while the illusion lasts,
and not unfrequently murdered as soon
as it is exploded. One of these i'm
posters gave considerable trouble to the
English missionaries, Hamilton and
Moffat, while at work among the Bak-
alahiris. Seeing that they were not to
be deceived like the rest, he attempted
to drive them out by asserting that their
white faces scared away the clouds
which his art had summoned. On one
occasion number of chiefs, who came
to thank him for a slight shower that
had Just fallen, were astonished to find
him asleep; but the ready-witted knave
instantly pointed to his wife, who was
churning some goats milk in skin
bag, and said, coolly: Don't you see
my wife shaking the rain out of that
sackP'' But a prolonged drought sue
ceeded, and the people, enraged at be-
ing thus trifled with, declared that the
rain-maker should die. The sentence
was commuted to banishment at the en-
treaty of the missionaries; but he was
murdered year after by the Bauang-
ketsis, whom he had similarly deceived

The Zulu King and His People.

Gen. Sir Arthur Thurlow Cunyng-
hame was the British lieutenant-gov-
ernor and commander of the forces in
South Africa from 1874 to 1873. He has
written a book of Ais experiences in
South Africa. The following paragraphs
give better idea of the Zulu king and
his people than most essays'on the sub
ject do:
Cetywayo had never seen revolver
pistol. Mr.. Finney, having shown mhi
one, fired it at calabash. The chief
was much surprised at the power of so
small a weapon. How destructive it
will be- he said, when it has grown
up and become mother which must
be understood as meaning a cannon.
"In Zululand it is considered a great
privilege to be made soldier. All the
sons of Cetywayo are made soldiers at
the age of six years or thereabouts, and
all the children who are born in the
same year are also made soldiers at the
same time as the dignity is conferred
upon the prince, of whom they are con-
temporaries.
Wives are very valuable property
in Zululand, partly, of course, for the
reason that the greatest reward of a
soldier is to receive a present of wife.
1.-The lot of native wife is often a
most unhappy one. Considered as prop
erty, and treated well or i'll according
to the caprice of her husband, she not
unfrequently attempts to escape.
"The Zulu laws to prevent these es-
eapes are most barbarous. If any
woman runs away, either to Natal or
any neighboring tribe, Cetywayo orders
the execution of the men in the kraal,
confiscates the women, and bestows
them as wives on his soldiers.
There is no doubt that the Zulus
are the most warlike tribe in South
Africa. Their conquests have been ex-
tended farther than those of any other
and but for the arms and ammunition
Of the white man, it is by no means
improbable that they would have come
as conquerors even to the walls of Cape
Town.
"They are reported to be ready to
offer sacrifices when they consider that
their military enterprises will be ben
Gifted by them. In Zululand there is
said to be locality where Chaka
buried all the brass ornaments of his
tribe, having ordered his Zulus to wear
none in the future but those made of
