The result OF the Chess Tournament was,
the ,Je,oish Chronicle says. veritable trl-
umph for Jewish chess-players. Out OF
the fourteen engaged in the chief or mas
ter, tournament. no less than six were
Jews: and in the prize-lists the first prize
was taken by jew (Zukertort). and the
second prize was likewise adjudged to an
other jew (Steinitz). Besides these, an
other Jew (Englisch) secured the MN
prize. and a fourth RosenthaD obtained
The prize allotted to the competitor
who made the best score against the
prize-winners. Out Of the eight prizes
given, no less than one-half were won
by Jews. The very great number VINO
take rank among the highest players, ana
the success OF Zukerfort and Steinitz,
clearly indicate that there must be some
thing in the Jewish intellect peculiarly
adapted TO the gtme. The mathematica'
bent OF mind, the patience, perseverance,
and daring, and the peculiar quality known
as long headness, are all properties OF tne
Jewish nature, which are equally valuable
for business and for chess. From inc
times of the Talmud, Jews have been pre-
eminent at games similar to chess, ana IN
modern times Jews have counted severai

The Laurentian Library.
A GLIMPSE AT THE GREAT COLLECTIONS OF
TIE NrDICI.

THE MEDICI.
Correspondence Springfield Republican,
Passing up staircase Mt one corner OF
this cloister, | came out on its upper gal
lery close TO the door OF the vestibule to
the Laurentian Library, and paused, as i
always do. to look at the picturesque
glimpse OF the Campanile and the dome
and cross OF the cathedral, which is obtain
ed from this point. Ii occurred TO me that
those OF yoilr readers who arc not familiar
with Florence would perhaps like to go
with me in Imagination to some OF
these libraries which make the city so rich
to every student, whether OF literature or
art, and that / would give i'm my next lei
ter TO the Republican a few outlines, rather
fuller than those OF gllide-books, which
might merely indicate the extent OF the
treasures at our disposal. Entering at the
door above mentioned, one finds ones
self at the foot OF the fine triple stair
ease built by Vasari, whose ample and
majestic lines form n fitting introduce
ton to the chamber to which it
conducts long. narrow hall that at
first sight reminds you OF modern
church. Rows OF benches and racks, re-
sembling slips, stretch on either hand
u
and desk at its farther end. On eXami-
nation you see that the lightweight racks
are bookcases, where, each fastened by a
chain, the books are laid ready fer the oc-
cupant OF the bench TO turn their leaves.
This was the method adopted when this
hall was finished in 1871. and it has been
left unchanged TO the present day. When
readers were few IL was not an incOnveni-
ent system, but now all books desired for
reference are taken from their places
and carried to an adjoining room, fitted up
with modern convcnicnces for the student.
The main hall. therefore, presents no APP
pearancc OF library, all the racks being
covered with curtains, and the clerks, with
few chance visitors, being the only occu-
pants Of the room. The dark ceiling and
pavement and the racks Of beautifully
carved wood. almost black with time, the
ancient stained windows, the work OF Il
scholar OF Rsphael, John Of Udine, give
it solemn and impressive magnificence.
Ii seems fitting home for the relies
of antiquity. a long, narrow panel in
scribed with the names Of the books in that
| division is attached TO each rack. The at
tcndant lifts the green cloth from these
! treasures with reverent hand. He shows
you Syrian Bible Of the sixth century, n
Greek gospel OF the eighth. and, earliest OF
all. a Virgil with annOtations made in the
year i9i. Later manuscripts, many OF them
richly illuminated, abound; among the IL
luStrations more interesting to ordinary
eyes are the contemporary portraits Of
Dante, Of Petrarch and Laura.

" Amsterdam il now on the dead list,

York Central railroad last night rs he
glanced over the account OF the third fatal
accident nj the crossing in that village. A
Journal reporter was ignorant OF the sig

pressed his curiosity.

neer responsivey, "that that cross

The philadelphia Press says the verdict
in the Polk case "will strike terror to the
hearts of the public plunderers in the
South -; which causes the Baltimore Day
to ask: "Why will the Press continue TO
be sectionaly Why did it not say tine
countrys'" For the simple reason that
public plunderers in the North are so COM
mon, and enjoy such immunity from pun
isbment, that they have nothing to fear.

Guilty OF Murder.

by telegraph 10 the Dlspaicn'I
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, july IA special to
the Times Union from Orlando, Orange
county, says the trial Of Archibald b. New
ton, for killing Samuel Mcmillan near Sam
ford last October, closed to-day, with a
verdict Of guilty. The circumstances OF
the murder were highly sensational. Me-
MILAN had the reputation OF being miser,
and was supposed to have large sum OF
money always about him. Newton, an East
Indian by birth, lived near, and was poor.
Mcmillan DISAPPEARED September 3Oth'
and shortly afterwards Newton and his
wife were very flush with money. On De-
tober 18th McNIillan's headless body was
found in Crystal lake partly consumed by
fishes, with a rope around the waist tied to
a not Of nails. The rope and pot OF nails
were proved to be the property OF Newton.
The evidence was wholly circumstantial,
and the trial was bitterly contested by emf

atives Of Newton. The jury was out four
