PLAYING Chess With a Thug.

The announcement that clergyman
in the North of England is about to play
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 AdIien Robert The Thugs, ac-
cording to the French writer, who
wished to have it all their own way in
India, having made five attempts to
stab, poison and blow up the Governor
of the East India Company, attributed
their want of success to a talisman in
the shape Of his 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 the game.
The stake was the Governors hat on
the one side and the surrender of the
ringleaders of the Thugs on the other.
On the plains Of Barrackpore a chess
board 100 yards square was marked
out. There were elephants for the cas-
ties, and knights in armor, and living
pawns. The Governors men were
supplied at 925 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, hav-
ing taken the white queen, the i'm
pertUrbable Governor 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
Engishman stepped in, and he took
her prisoner. The generosity so de-
moralized his opponent that in few
more moves the game was over, the
conspirators handed over to the mercies
of John Company, and. India saved
from perishing. Nall Gazette.

your dreams is your own body gradual
ly swelling in the shape of a balloon.
The balloon gets larger and larger I'M
til it pushes the upper berth to the top
of the car, and then you hear the smoth-
cred cries for help Of the man it con-
tains
The swelling increases, and YOU i'm
agine that you float upward and bump
against the roof of the car like a tov bal
loon which has escaped from the grasp
of a child. This feeling lasts for some
time, but suddenly you swell until YOU
fill the interior of the car and sufocate

the train is wrecked.
The 10cent pie is proud of the fact
that it has taken hold of q strong man,
who has been shot through and never
murmwed about it, and doubled him up
until his spine cracked, hurled him
from one side of his berth to the other,
and made him below for paregoric like

His First Tall Hat.

Why does the young man, who whilom
greeted you with unaverted gaze and
pleasant good morning, now veil his
eyes in their housekeeping lashes aud
pass you by without a word, either good,
bad, or Indifferent? Why is his coun-
tenance sicklied DER with the slckly
smile of alI-controlling self-conscious-
ness? Why his beseeching, appealing
look when his young acquaintance is
about to address him ? Why lodges
he down the side street rather than
meet the throng of young fellows ii YVES
once his chiefest pleasure to meet and
be with? When entering a doorway,
who can say why he stoops so low? Why
this humility, this reverence, in one
who was wont to carry his head sc
high? Why consorts be exclusively
with his elders, and why does he avoid
his contemporaries as he would a pesti-
lence? The answer is easy to find. He

The Southern Railway Eatfng.House.

The North may boast of it's wealth,
the West of its enterprise, but the
South is quite proud III the possession of
the primitive eating house place that
the hungry tourist visits but once, and
then has lingering remembrance of
till he dies, The gay traveller from the
NOrthland often believes that he can
tackle anything, but the moment he goes
dallying with the clearinghouse on the
Southern railroads he feels his insignifi-
canoe, and wishes to call out the mill
tia.
When the train stops at station and
the cry, Fifteen minutes for supper, 3"
signalizes the charge, the hungry trav-
eler places himself at the head of his
comrades and storms the citadel of
grub. He knows not what he is doing,
poor, foolish mortal, and, even while
his eyes CLEAN with the true spirit Of
chivalry, he is suddenly struck in the
abdomen with deadly corned-beef
sandwich of last years growth. Brave
man, then he realizes his fate, and
amid the roar of the battle around him
he summons enough strength to cry,
STEADY, men! Let rs remember
Bunker Hill, and die with our knees
under our chin"
The principal feature about the CON-
mon run of eating houses south of the
Ohio river is the plain, unassuming lit
tie apple pie which they set forth. You
can buy the little pie for only 10 cents,
but it is seldom that the passenger eats
more than one in lifetime After you
have eaten it and drank one or two
glasses of water the pie gets sociable,
and gradually impresses upon your
mind the fact that you Will not feel
lonesome as long as it travels with you.
The strangest thing is, you never do.
About fifteen minutes after you have
made its acquaintance the waistband OF
your pants cannot meet its note and de-
mands an extension.
i half-hour later, when you retire to
your berth in the sleeping-car and fall
into troubled slumber, the pie, not
being at all sleepy, concludes to have
some fun. The first thing you see in

How a JUDGE Checked Perjury.

A Danish Colonial Magistrate, for
whose exceptional character and ability
we can vouch, once made grimly comic
experiment in this direction, and upon
this principles: He was appalled, by
the endless perjuries committed in cases
before him, determined to stop them,
and did. He, Of course, said nothing
of his method, but an English friend
seated beside him on the bench noticed
that whenever a witness told palpable
lie he jumped. He asked the reason,
and the magistrate, after a caution, re-
vealed his secret. "hIy orderly stands
behind the witness, and whenever I put
my left hand to my ear that indicates
that the evidence is false, and he runs a
pin into him" It is wen-lnown fact
to the many who viii recognize this
story that the "sting Of conscience" in
this material form proved effectual, and
that the magistrate, who died honored
throughout Denmark, in three years
turned an Alsatia into one OF the most
orderly and law-abiding OF communi-
ties. He could always get the truth
