AT these forks they were baHied in their

The tinker blew a great whistle of sur

Northup understood him instantly and

MoRPHYs PRIZE oHEssMEN.
A Set Which Cost So, 500 Now Owned
by New York Merchant.
From the Nwe York Man and Evnress-

From the Nwe York Mail and Express.
A set OF chessmen is usually an inexpen-
sive thing, but it may cost as much as a
| grand piano. Of course, you can get a
small set of ordinary lockwood chessmen
for few dollars, finer set of lockwood
and ebony for $12 or SIS and a set of
"Staunton" chessmen of the best African
| ivory, large size, for SO. And these are all
plain sets. fyou indulge fancy in carving.
and have your set made to order from a
special design and finely mounted, it NAV
! cost anywhere from 500 to $780, For a
really expensive set, however, you will
PROBABLY choose the precious metals, and
! then there is absolutely no limit to the
cost. Probably one of the finest sets ever
made was the set presented to Paul
Morphy in 1859 by friends in New York
CITY ana BROOKLYN. which is now owned
bya New Toak merchant The pieces
are of solid gold and silver, carved and
chased in exquisite designs They are
mounted on bases of red cornelian. the
gold pieces representing civilization the
silver ones barbarism. The gold king is
a statuette four inches high, weighing
three ounces. He is in royal robes, bears
an imperial globe upon his head. a sword
ana shield IN his hand, while crown and
scepUer lie at his feet. The bishops arc in
full panoply, while the knights are re-
presented as prancing horses, with ewes
ofrubies. The castle follows the Chinese
design, being an elephant bearing a
howdah, on which is perched an eagle
with outspread wings. Both elephant
and bird have eyes of brilliant rubies
Inc piece weighs i've ounces, or as much
as eighty gold dollars. The payyns are
statuettes, two and one-half inches hi1h
representing Roman soldiery The silver
pieces are equally ornate in DESIGN Tho
king is represented as a leader like Altric
wearing bulls hide and winged helmet
while his shield bears the Inscription
Liberty" The other pieces are similar
in design to the gold, except that the
clubs.
The board has a body of rosewood
lnlaid with silver; the squares are of
mother-oI-pearl and ebony. In each
corner is laurel wreath of gold encirl.I-
ing the letters L. M. An inscription IN
one side reads as follows:
To Paul Morphy recognition of his
genius ana testimony Of regard. From his
friends and admirers in New York ana Broolx
Ign. New Hork 1889.
On the other side Of the board is a list
OF the fourteen champions, all from the

Carroll D. Wright has an interesting
statistical article in the June Forum on
1.-THE Census of Sex, Marriage and Di-
vorce." OF the entire population June
1890, nearly three-ffths were single, little
more than one-third were married and not
quite one-twentieth were widowed. The d.
vorced constituted about one quarter of one
per cent. By comparison with foreign coun-
tries it is found that the largest proportion
of single persons are found in Ireland and
Scotland and the smallest in the United
States. Ireland also leads in the proper
ton of widowed persons. the smallest
being found in Canada. Out of every 100
persons in the United States 81 were males
and 40 females, while of every 100 single
persons, "a were males and As females.
The three states, Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont, have the smallest proportions
of single and the largest proportions of mar
ried, in the whole country, while the pro-
portion of widowed is fully as large as in
any other part of the Union. The largest
proportion of married is found in Cleveland
and the smallest in New Orleans. The
whole number of divorced persons in the
United States was 2O,996. The divorced
persons are more prevalent among the ne
groes than among other classes.

4 Most Desirable Candidate,
{ Rockland Star. J

Leaving all question Of Eastern Maine
and Western Maine aside, F. NJ. Simpson
of Carmel is the most desirable candidate
thus far mentioned for the Office of State
treasurer. Mr.. Simpson is young m IN
and by his services as State representa-
tive and senator and on the Governors
council has demonstrated that he ia young
man of ability. one who has always proved
q faithful public servant in whatever capa-
city he has been called upon to act. The
Republican party by dear experience has
learned that it cannot keep its young
men in the background and hold its
grip upon their votes. The candidate from
York county is good fellow and has held
many public Offices with credit. He would
make good State treasurer, but all things
considered we believe Mr.. Simpson is the
man for the place. The York county dele
CATION will show good sense by giving its
solid vote to Mr.. Simpson.

State. There are some Saco men who
thought they saw one. however. last week.
Samuel P. henderson, who lives in North
Saco went out to drive in the COWS and did
not come back. The cows came, but not
he. The farm boy went out to hunt him
up and could not find him. He thought he
saw body in the brook and soon spread
the alarm among the neighbors. They
turned out in body, dragged tn. brook
and hunted everywhere but no body could
they find. Just as they were thoroughly
persuaded that he was surely dead, and
were sadly preparing to return home, the
man that they were hunting for appeared
from the woods close by. They were all so
badly scared by the apparition that they
turned their backs and fled like sheep.
