AT THE CITY HOTELS.

It was easy to see that nine out of ten of the
travelling men who are temporarily housed in
Pittsburg hostelries had elevated money on the
great battle. As usual on such occasions
everybody IN sight were winners. conveying the
impression that the losers were sequestred in
silent solitude. Gray-headed travelling men
sat around and recounted remembrances of
John Morrissey, Joe Coburn and other famous
fighters, and one gentlemanly back number
tried to palm of his personal "reminiscences of
the Benicia Boy and the Heenan-Sayers fight
but the youngsters pulled chestnut bells SO
vigorously that the "reminiscences evaporated
in a mist of buck beer.

INTERESTING LIZARDS.

Peculiarities OF the Asiatic Chameleon and
the African Gec<0.
Among the many families of lizards,
and almost innumerable species. two
of the most interesting are the chame-
leon and the gecko. of Asia and Africa.
The first of these has long oeeu famous
for its power of changing color; but
this has been somewhat exaggerated.
As fact, however, chameleon whose
primary hue is gray black, will some
times be striped like zebra, with light
yellow, or covered with circular yell
low spots, sometimes brilliant green,
and sometimes will tale the hue of the
autumnal leaves on the branch where
it is sitting. SO that the creature can
hardly be distinguished from the foil
age.
The chameleon's tongue has Wis
cid secretion on the end. and he aims
it as billiard-player does his cue,
darting it out at passing fly. who is
struck and stuck at the same time.
He is slow moving fellow, and in
climbing tree will sometimes after
raising one foot hold it in air a long
time. as if he had gone to sleep and
forgotten to take the intended step.
His progress is like the hour-hand OF
a watch; but eventually he gets there.
The gecko is noted for its ability to
run up perpendicular wall, which ii
does by the use of its peculiar feet in
which the toes are expanded at their
extremities into disc furnished with
claws This apparatus enables it tc
travel regardless of the laws of CRAWL
tati0n. like q common house-hy.
whose feet resemble the gecko's. IL
Is said that prisoner in q high stone
tower was once released by friend
tying q thread to the hind leg of q
gecko. and starting him up the wall
under the prisoners window. The
creature glided up and carried the
thread to the captive. who by this
means pulled up . stouter line b.
which he made his escape. Tho gecko
b often regarded with superstitious
awe BY the natives on account Of his
silent movements -Treasuro Trovo.

CHINESE CHESS,

An Ancient Game skiufully Played b,
Now York Celestials.
New Workers, with great chess

think a great deal of the skill of the
players. all of whom have made world
wide regulations in the game; but their
claims sink into insignificance before
the merits of certain Mott street play.
ers. In one OF the dingy Chinese shan.
ties chess-playing is q favorite game,
and considerable money changes
hands over the table. The place is
fitted up handsomely for a China
mans quarters. and the chess table
is rare bit of Chinese carving and
painting.
The Chinese game of chess is very
ancient, for WI Wang invented it in
ITO B. e.. but its rules of playing are
very different from those used by
Western nations. In the play-room a
large table is erected. the surface of
which is divided into seventy-two
squares, of which eight are run to-
gether to form river, leaving thirty
two on each side; but as the men stand
on the intersection of the lines there
are ninety positions for the sixteen
pieces used by each player. or twenty
six more than is used in the European
game. The pieces are like checker
men in shape, each of the seven
kinds on each side having its
name cut on top. and distinguished by
red or black colors. The four squares
near each edge form the headquarters
of the tsiagor General" out Of
which he and his two 81, or
secretaries, can not move. On each
side of the headquarters are two ele-
plants, two horses and two chariot 8,
whose powers are less than those of our
bishop. knight and castle, though SIM
liar The chariot is the most powerful
piece. In front of the horses stand two
cannoneers. which capture like our
knights. but move like our castles.
Five poo, soldiers or pawns, guard the
river banks. but can not return when
once across it in pursuit of the enemy.
and get no higher value when they
reach the last row. Each piece is put
down in the point where it captures its
man. except the cannoneers. As the
can not be taken, the object
of each player is to checkmate him in
his headquarters by preventing him
from moving except in check. The
want of a Queen and the limited moves
of the men restrict the combination
in the Chinese game more than in the
Western chess, but it has its own ele-
ments of skill. The Cinnamon in Mott
street have had several tournaments
which the papers did not report Some
Of the players have attained an amount
Of skill that would put an American
On his mettle to defeat For more

GROWING BROOM-CORM.
Methods Of Cultivation PracticeI by II
Most Successful Growers.

Methods Of Cultivation PracticeI by the
Most Successful Growers.
The following points in broon-cor.s
culture are given in reply to queries
received from several readers: The
land for broom-corn should be fertile
and in good condition. A rich sandy
loan not rredisposed to weeds is eX-
cellent. The young plants are very
tender and delicate; SO that wecdy
ground ought always to be avoided.
As regards manure. about the same
quantity should be applied as for Il
crop of Indian corn on the same
ground. In planting the tall varieties
the rows are usually three and q half
feet apart, with the seed drilled two
or three inches apart. or about a dozen
seeds at intervals fifteen inches apart,
forming hills and cultivated only enc
way. Plenty of seed should always be
used. as allowance must be made for
imperfect ones that fail to terminate
from this cause and also from being
covered too deep. The covering should
be very light, with not over an inch
and half of fine soil When we'll up
thin out to five or six strong plants to
the hill.
Being of Southern origin the seed
should not be planted until the soil is
thoroughly warmed. a little later rath-
err than earlier than Indian corn.
Clean cultivation is absolutely neccs-
sary for success In no other hoed
crop is this more important The
young plants when they first show
themselves are very small, and though
they soon become strong and vigorous
they are weak at first, the germ Of the
seed having only enough nusriment
to enable the young plant to get fairly
above ground, when it has at once to
form roots and provide for it's own
Cultivation must there
fore begin as soon as the plants are well
up and be continued so as to keep ahead
Of the weeds, otherwise the crop will
be poor one.
The most successful growers D ac-
tice cutting as soon as the seed has
fairly formed, when the brush will be
Of better color than if left until the
seed has matured. The old way, when
The seed vas allowed to become thor
oughly ripe. was to lop the brush
rom the top to prevent crookedness

I ripened. The most common prac-
ice now Il TO break two rows down
