A Remarkable Game Of Chess:

Four young gentlemen, resident at
Pressburg, Hungary, recently under
took to play a match at chess under the
following extraordinary conditions:
Sixty-four squares were chalked out up
on the billiard table, and the places
were represented by bottles containing
wines of various qualities. Champagne
was the king, claret the queen, bur
gundy the bishop, port the castles, and
madeira the knights; while pint TASKS
of common Hungarian vintages stood
for the humble but effective pawns. OF
the special playing rules laid down for
observance, the most remarkable was
that which rendered it obligatory upon
every player making a move to empty
his ''piece' at n draught. Faithful
compliance with this ordinance, how
ever, was found upon experiment to II
terfere somewhat prematurely with the
progress of the game, for, by the time
the opening nov had been executed
upon strictly Bacchanalian principles,
the players were stretched upon the
aoor, around and under the too convivi-
al chess board.

ONE of yesterdays dispatches stated
that Secy. Schurz contemplated the ar
rest of Standing Bear, chief of the
Ponca Indians, OF Nebraska, and
Bright Eyes, the educated Indian
maiden. These two have been travel
ing over the country relating their
grievances and soliciting contributions
to carry their cast against the govern
ment in the matter of recovering their
reservation in Nebraska.
1t does not appear by the telegram
what the secretary of the interior bases
his intention upon, SO we are left to
infer. But it is easy to see that the
two Indians are off their reservation.
The Poncas were removed to the ague
region of Indian Territory and they de-
serted that reservation and returned
TO Nebraska only to find their old reser-
walton disposed of by the government.
So the few remaining families of the
Poncas dwelt with the Omahas. They
were arrested and tried before the
United States district court sitting in
Omaha but gained their point, and the
government took an appeal. Since then
Standing Bear and Bright Eyes have
been lecturing, and what they have
said is the opposite of complimentary
to the interior department. Hence it
is easy TO infer that, being of their res
ervation, which Mr.. Schurz holds to be
in Indian Territory, they are liable to
arrest, and he proposes to place them in
confinement. We hope he will not do
so. Nothing would popularize the
cause of the Poncas more than this.
and nothing would besmirch the secre-
tary's reputation as much. Common
sense dictates no such action, and COM
mon sense will likely rule the action of
the secretary.

themselves by the doubtful name OF

As'the ''scratchers" know Of Conkling's

we must infer that they are not opposed

though they organized last fall esp e.

THERE are dozens of counts in

THERE are dozens of counts in the
indictments against Hayt, the ex-Indian
commissioner. AL conve rye on fraud
and hypocrisy. He was the most trust
ed officer in the interior department.
Secy. Schurz had %unbounded confidence
in him. The friendship remained I'M
til the last, for the secretary removed
Hayt to prevent greater scandal and
perhaps criminal indictment against
him. 1t is 10Y known that in the long
list of offences Hayt's browning dis
grace was the selling of the Arizona
mine, the one on the San Carlos Indian
reservation, TO his own son, the latter
appearing under an assumed name.
What other disgraceful acts this man
Hayt has been connected with, will be
developed in the fullness of time.
Being trusted fully he had unlimited
opportunity of practicing chicanery.
Being "a good Christian gentleman"
his acts were supposed to bear the seal
of honor. But he has grossly deceived
his confiding superior officers, insulted
the people, and abused the Indians un.
der his charge. He should be prosecuted
before a court of law and made to suffer
the full penalty of his crimes.

The Law of Lem Year.

As leap ear has come 1t is well to
know what the law of leap year il. The
law, it is said takes no notice of parts
Of days, and us to the 2Sth Of February,
it takes no notice of the whole day.
The 2Sth and 29th of February are COM
puted as n day. For example-Sup-
pose a note is dated on the 2Sth of Feb
ruary, 1880, payable in n day from
date. Ordinarily it would be payable
on the 4 of March, and so it is on leap
year, and not on the Sd. In Indiana
the question has recently come before
the supreme court in respect to service
of process in 1876, the last leap year.
The law there requires ten days previ-
GUS service for the entry of judgment.
In the case beforethe court the judgment
was premature if the 28th and Goth of
Februarywere to be computed as oneday.
The court said: at must be regarded
as settled in this state that the 2Sth and
29th days of February in yer b~issextille
year must be computed and considered
in law as one day. The question is set
at rest by our statue l r. 5. m. p. Clio,
s. 3, which provides that ''the added
day Of a leap year Immediately proceed
ing, if they shall occur in any period SO
to be computed, shall be reckoned to-
gether as one day." This embraces
statues, deeds, verbal or written con-
tracts, and all public or private instru-
ments.-Albdny Lam Journal.
