"Reminiscences Morphy.

Mr.. Moncure d. Conway gives the
following "reminiscences of the famous
chess player Morphy: $50 Paul Nor
ply is dead! Twenty five years ago
what q sensation would have .been
caused by such an announcement! It
was when the chess clubs of the world
were talking over his wonderful blind
folded games that I met him and played
half dozen games with him at the Bre-
WORT House, New York. had almost
attained the proud rank 0or YOUTH of
q second rank player in the clubs, but
asked for rock as odds. Out of the
six I won but one game, and have VIZ
tually given up chess ever since,-
Where was the use of toiling on, when,
after years Of struggle, here was 8 man
who could give me rock and beat me
with ease? I con see now the small
beardless young man-very much like
Edgar Poe-and the white hand, velned
like that of a lady, softly moving piece
after piece, with little hesitation, as if
he had long foreknown my move and
had patiently awaited it. No surprise
was possible to those quiet eyes. The
face of Morphy was pathetic; one could
read in it that he felt ashamed Of his
interest in this game, as Montague says
Alexander the Great was. Morphy re-
garded himself as victimized BY his
success, and made desperate effort to
free himself. He became lawyer, but
he could not make o career other than
that which was written in his marvel
lous brain. I have heard that he was
much depressed of late years, though
he was beloved by all who knew him
and indeed was . 1ovable man."

Curing . Rattlssnaks's Victim.

From the Chicago Tribune.
In milking one morning I found that
one of the calves did not come out for
its breakfast. I found one of its fore.
feet and legs swelled up to the size Of
an ox's leg, and near by three foot rat
tier. After killing the "varmint" I ex-
amincd the Calls foot and found the two
small spots of blood which indicated
where he had been Struck" The in
cisions were about three-eighths of an
inch apart, and the calf about three
weeks old. 1t did not want any break
fast that morning. The writer having
then. as now no confidence in drugs,
tied the three uninjured legs of the calf
together and laid it carefully on its side,
wrapped the bitten leg and foot in wet
rags and at intervals Of say ten minutes
during the day poured q cupful of wa
ter on the rags and leg SO as to keep it
wet oil day; at evening removed the
wraps which bound the three well, or
unbitten legs, and awaited the approach
of the returning cows. As soon as the
mother "blew her horn" the calf jumped
an answered at the same time and ran
to get his.supper, which he seemed to
relish very much. The calf was lame
for long time, but this was all We ev-
er did for it and it recovered perfect
health. The bitten leg was for year
or two something the largest. do not
feel sure that the bite of SO large rot
tlesnake a. bit the snake cllarmer could
be cured; but I do know by ON expert
ence of thirty years that the hydrophat-

Of which our drug doctors know moth

From the German Military Gazette
Great Britain still holds first place
with her armored deet; France, second;
Germany, third italy, fourth; Russia,
fifth, and Austria sixth. But at the
present moment France is building four.
teen vessels of the most powerful model
and eight armored vessels for coast de-
tense. Therefore, in four years France
will have thirty war vessels, twelve Of
which will be first-class, and England
thirty 1.-TWO, only one of which will be
of the same strength q any one of the
twelve French ships. Italy is now build
ing five first-class war vessels; Russia
three and three iron-clad cruisers; Ger
many one iron clad cruiser and two gun
boats; Austria one war vessel, and Dem
mark one iron-clad for coast defense.
Consequently the maritime pre-emin-
ence of Great Britain is de ,idedly men
aced by France. England being obliged
to employ q great portion of her feet in
the Mediterranean and ct different dis.
tant points, it is fair to presume that in
1887 or 1883 France would be able to
oppose feet Of 40 armored vessele
against an English one Of 30 at the
most, including even the vessels foy
coast defense.

Some amusing details are gradually cominr

They drove out all the guards and took complete
possession Of the place, which they barricaded

troops arrived to capture the prison thu
women jeered them through the Windows
and pelted them with bread and vegetablei
from their abundant supply. The Office,
