Playing Chess With Il Thug.
Pail Nall Gazatto I


The announcement that clergyma in
the north of England is about TO play a
game of chess On his lawn with living
pieces supplied from the children of his
parish, recalls one of the most amusing of
the ''Contes Eccentriques'' of Adrien
Robert. The thugs, according to the
French writer, who wished to have il all
their own way in India, having made five
attempts to stab, poison and blow up the
governor of the East India company, at
tributed their want of success to a talisman
in the shape of his gray felt hat, unknown
till then in India. His passion was chess,
and it was determined by the chief of the
sect to challenge him at that game.
The stake was the governors hat on one
side and the surrender of the ringleaders
of the thugs on the other. On the plains
of Barrackpore chess-board 100 yards
square was marked out. There were ele-
plants for the castles, and knights in armor
and living pawns. The governors men
were supplied at e25 apiece by his rival.
The game lasted all day, for all the pieces
were killed as they were taken. Just as
the thug queen was in danger, having tax
en- the white queen, the imperturbable gov
ernor adjourned to lunch, where he staid
two hours. His rival was in anguish, for
the queen was his own wife. On the return
of the governor the white king advanced
to take her. but the magnanimity of the
Englishman stepped in, and he took hel
prisoner. This generosity SO demoralized
his opponent that in few more moves the
game was over, the conspirators handed
over to the mercies Of John Company, ant
India saved from perishing.

A Petroleum Romance.
Boston Advertiser.

A fellow New Yorker pointed out to me
this morning citizen of Pittsburgh who
was at one time statesmen in retail
grocery there, at a salary of $500 year.
When the petroleum excitement became
rampant ne went to Titusvi.le without any
money; and after few weeks fell in with
a prosperous speculatOr and ''struck oil"
making 100000 to 100000 in a year.
He increased this sum to $1,5O0,G00, and
was urged by his friends TO retire from
the oil region with the wages of his luck.
This he refused 10 do, and before
another twelve month ne had
lost it all bat I. tew thousand
dollars. Then he returned TO Pittsburgh
and went to work in legitimate way.
But the fever of speculation attacked him
! once more, and he betook himself a sec
| ond time to Oil Greek. After various shifts
and adventures fortune revisited him, and
| he was able to count his million. Trying
| to double this-he had fixed his figure at
| S2,000.000-he was again financially
wrecked. This time he was so poor that
he staid among the wells, and was forced
to earn livelihood by becoming day la
borer. New opportunities opened to him,
and a third time he got very rich. Reck-
less speculation once more brought him
low, and he left for California, hoping to
improve his prospects there. The fascin-
alton drew him back. He made a fourth
fortune and lost it; and finally fifth, with
the same result.
Within few months the tickle goddess
has smiled for the sixth time, and he has
invested all his money in government
bonds-well nigh $1,7OO,O0O- for
sworn speculation. He sold all his oil
and says he has learned wisdom by expe-
rience. Having more than he will ever
spend, he ought to be contented financial
ly, and run no more risks; but I doubt il
he will. The $2,0OO,OOO he had fixed upon
he has not yet reached and he will be diff
ferent from most spectators if he can re-
sist the old greed. His wife, who is here
with four children-two grown-up girls
and two boys on the eve of manhood

governments. He himself is not yet fifty

AN EXPENSIVE KISS.

Cincinnati Enquirer.


Mrs. Myrc HosraFd.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
When William SchmiAt gets out of the
work house it will be a long time before he
will again kiss another mans wife. Will
liam tried the experiment on Friday. 1t
was good as far as it lasted, but it was the
aftercIap that William don't relish. He'll
have no more of it in future, for William
is sensible sort of a young man, and
knows when he has enough. 1t happened
in this way: On last Friday Schmidt, who
is painter-and. by the way, has young
wife and child of his own-went to the
residence of Mrs. Myra Howard, on the
lower river road.for the purpose of bright
ening up the window stills. Mrs. Towards
worser half was not at home, and, indeed,
no one else save the lady herself. This
fact led William to remark to her that it
was strange that she was not afraid to stay
in such an out-of-the-way place all by her
lonely self. Mrs. Howard responded that
not coward drop of blood flowed in her
veins, or words to the same import. Will
liam and she enjoyed quite little CONVEX
sation while he was at work on the win
dows, and finally William asked her if she
had five cents she could loan him. Mrs.
Howard replied that she had the five cents
| in her pocket, and that it was going to
stay there. William vowed he'd have
the money, and then followed a
playful chase through the kitchen
and into the sitting room. 1t was there that
Mrs. Howard sat down, and the gay knight
of the paint brush, in his exuberance, sat
down in her lap, and, throwing his arms
around her, he imprinted kiss upon her
lips, under the impression that that wa as
fitting ending to such tremendous joke
When the lady took rellingpin with
which she had been kneading bread OF
something of the sort and cracked William
over the head, that young man thought
the joke was going too far. When the
claret flowed from his problscis, he began
to wish he had kissed woman who hadn't
so much muscle, and when at last the hus
band had him arrested on a warrant
charging him with assault and battery, he
wished he'd kissed woman who hadn'
any husband to kick about such trife as
that.
Mrs. Howard told her story in the polic'
court yesterday morning. She is not ba6
looking by any means, though in size sht
would make one and half of the youne
man. She spoke without much embar
rassment. She wore q handsomely-em
broidered black mantilla, a white lace tie
and jaunty round hat. She averred tina
William had held her hands while embrac
ing her. This William denied. In dispos
ing of the case Judge Higley remarke;
that it was the first of the kind that hat
ever been brought before him. He fined
the young man 800, and gave him thirt
days in the workhouse.
