Chinese Chess.

Chinese chess must claim our admiration
by the manner in which the conception of
military game has been elaborated so as
to conform with the realities of warfare
The board is divided by an imaginary
river, which the elephant and the king
may not cross. The pieces are placed on
the intcrscc, ions of the lines, not on the
spaces. The King or general, with his two
guards, must keep To square of nine
points i'll the center of his side, with
diagonal lines from corner to corner, along
which the guards may move, the king
moving only forward or sideways or back
ward; the other pieces may enter this
fortress and pass through it.
The most characteristic piece of Chinese
chess, however, is the cannon, which, like
our castle, cannot move without jumping
over piece, SO that not only is the attack
most formidable and unexpected, but it
must be resisted, else it is helpless 1.-THE
prcttiest checkmate," says Mr. Falkener,
lis with two cannons i'll line" Here the
second cannon gives check, and the king
must move, for if another piece be inserted
the first cannon gives check. Now, we
may allow that if the elephant is not sup
posed to cross the river, no more should
the cannon, for the first named is really
the most capable of the feat. but the gen
ius of the piece lies in its imitation OF can
non in warfare-its range, the firing over
bodies Of troops and its liability TO cap

The events of my life most interesting for

cannot clearly recall tho particulars mt this
date. Once when we were in south Colorado
Il child fell over prccipice where no man
could go. l was twelve years old, and was
lowered by n rope, found the child dead and
helped get the body up to the crest. In one of
the Gipin county mines light fell from q
miners hat and rolled in zigzag course to-
ward some powder. Every one present was
panic stricken. l was watching the curious
motion of the lamp, and suddenly thinking it
ought to be put out ran and jumped upon it
and sat down and crushed out the flame.
Two of my experiences / recall distinctly,
but prefer not To mention the name of the
persons involved. In the Sand Creek mines
there was miner with family who was
liked by everybody when he WAS sober. but he
drank heavily at times and then was cruel 10
any one in his power. One day he got drunk
and lariatcd ~ wild broncho which he tied to
n post and then bound his little scvcn-y car-old
boy, Johnny, upon the back of the frantic an
imal.
Some Of the children of tho family ran after
me and cried that their father was killing
Johnny. hurried to the spot, and just rs
reached there the broncho reared, and the
cords that bound the boy working loose the
little fellow was thrown violently upon u log
roof and badly injured. His father started to
take him and tie him upon the broncho again,
but told him il he touched the boy again I'd
shoot him. Then he turned on me. | didn't
want to kill man for II drunken freak, so |
snatched up a rope, lassocd him and tied him
down. When he sobcrcd up he was himself
again, and all was forgotten.
