The marvellous memory aud skill Of
DR.. Xukeitort, the champion chess
player, was exhibited in game which
be played against the Boston Chess
Club at their room yesterday afternoon.
Seven adopts at the game, any one OF
whom would he considered formida-
BILE adversary by an ordinary mae,
having been chosen, the men were
placed on the seven tables, and DR..
Hukertort took his position in further
corner, whence he could see nothing
that transpired In the room. Then, q
few minutes past four o'clock, the game
began. The champion called out the
number Of the table and the move
which he wished made thereon, while
man passed from one board to the
other making the desi. ed changes.
The most m arvelous part Of the mat.

had to separate In his head from the
other six games which he was pla ying;
but In spite ofthis, seldom more than

one could almost hear pin drop in the
room. Inside OF half an hour the
champion had won one game; and
though some OF the remaining players
made very sharp contest they sooner
or later were driven into q corner. DR..
Iukertort gave up two of the games,
discovering that he bad made verbal
mistake in his directions about certain

combination OF the other. The other

Tom COrwin's OratOry.


Gen. Ward says that on one occasion
Frenchman who had stopped over in
Lebanon was very DESTROYS to hear Mr..
Corwin speak, as he bad heard so much
about his humor. COrwln had to ad-
dress meeting at the Court House after
this Mexican conflict was over, when
the aggressive element had been victori-
Gus, and he was in sense disgraced. AS
he walked into the Court House Durbin
Ward looked at him, and said 10 the
Frenchman: "Iou will not hear any
humOr to-day. His face looks stern and
serious" "But," says Gen. Ward,
''Corwrn's speech that day was one of
tie most wonderful things | ever heard
in my life. The sadness, the anguish,
The gentleness, the depth of still sits on
my heart. He felt that his position had
been moral and Just, but that he was
overthrown, broken, and his advice had
injured his party. Among the figures
OF speech he used was one from Per-
sian fable that every man had an angel
looking over his destiny, leaning on his
shoulder, and when he did any bad act
during the day wrote record OF ii, and
if he repented before night dropped q
tear on the book, which blOtted out the
record. Corwin said something TO the
following effect: would that / could
be the good angel Of my country, and
when ! read this record Of our misdeeds
in Mexico might be able to drop the
tear and here he stopped, his voice
having become so deep and pathetic
that tears came to his own eyes, and il
was unnecessary to finish the sentence
ior everybody saw what it would be and
the whole room filled with sobs and
tears. Why" says Gen. Ward, 1--WE
knew nothing at all in the present day
about stump-speaking as such men as
COrwin prsetised it." He could strike
every emotion in the scale because he
felt every emotion. InimItable in wit,

sENsaIIoNAL RELIGION.

Instead of fitting people for heaven
many of the latter day so-ealled revival
of religion meetings are better calculat-
ed to send them TO the lunatie asylum.
We have an account from Dundee, y.
V, Of q man who was sent to the Wal
lard asylum from the western part Of
New York State, driven crazy by the
attendance upon meetings conducted in
a high pressure, sensational manner.
Another similar case, that Of young
lady, is reported from the West, and still
another case where q little girl has been
driven frantieally insane by q series Of
protracted meetings conducted by some
stirring evangelist or other is reported
from the nortnern part Of New York
State. IL is well to get salvation IS 1t is
termed. It well TO turn from evil and
10 good. 1t is well to quit serving the
devil whether he is considered In q
personal or abstract sense. 1t Is well to
be better minded, better behayins-to
be good aud do good, to be sweet-tem-
pered and full of grace-in fact and in
short, it is all right for young or old to
seek and serve the LORD, but 1t Is not
well to "get religion" as 1t is called with
a hip hip burrah and rsttlety bang!

THE dynamite ticnd has been at work
again in London, and not only the de-
struction of considerable property was
the result but human life has been
sacrificed, If this is "A dynamite plot, as
it is said to be, it serves but as addl-
tional proof that subiugation of a peo-
pie like the Irish people cannot only
exist so far as it prevents them from
acting openly and exercising the local
rights Of citizenship. The indomtable
Irish spirit is something that cannot be
subdued. This is what our English
friends across the water are finding out.
About the time that they think the
Subjugation complete and peace restored
they are as far from the accomplish
ment Of their object rs when they first
commenced. There is only one solu-
ton to the difficulty, and that is that
the Irish people must either be permit
ted to have their own government, to
mould and fashion after their own will
or they must be permitted to have and
exercise the same rights under the En-
glish government that the English
themselves exercise. Less than this
will never make a permanent peace in
England. At the same time every good
citizen will deprcrate the throwing Of

SENATOR VAN WICK, Of Nebraska,
seems to not only know what is com
mcndahlc and proper in politics, but
has the independence TO carry out his
opinions. In letter to one of the pa
prrs Of his State, he declines an election
as delegate to the Chicago Convention
on III" ground that members of Con-
grcsS have been already amply hOnored,
and that other men should be chosen
for delegates. There is something SO
independent and self sacrificing in this
determination Of the Senator that we
inStinctivrly wish all office holders were
like INN. We would not debar
them from the privilege Of sitting in the
Councils Of their party while enjoying
the benefits and emOlulnrnts of their
office, but there is certainly commend
able propriety and Inod"Sty in office
holders abStaining from the active pre-
liminary work Of the party that honors
them. It has become an open question
whether u convention made up Of dele
gates from the ranks Of private citizens
would not be better able TO understand
and obey the peoples will more faithful

posed in large part Of men from official
circles, where the temptation to cliques
and combinations is often irresistible
