Approval of Chess.

1t is a singular fact that while all
other games of chance or skill have at
one time or another been denounced
by the clergy Of every faith, chess
alone has received their appreciation,
and among the best players Of every
land have been clergymen, priests
and bishops.

don't Know, but one n1gnJ IN november
there was a skirmish somewhere in the
neighborhood of Knoxville, in which
500 or GOO men on a side were engaged,
without result, and both sides had set
tied down for the night to wait and
fight it out by daylight. There were a
lot of wounded men, and dead ones,
the woods, where most of the fighting
had been. There was a cornfield about
a quarter of mile wide separating the
woods, and there had been some scrap
ping in this open ground, though most
of the fighting had been done from
generally are.
II was corporal of the guard that
night, and by six o'clock there was only
an occasional shot, as if each side was
quitting reluctantly and by inches.
am not positive, but it seems to me that
l heard the last two shots before still
ness settled over all. What the details
of the romance, or the tragedy, or what
ever you want to call it, are, don't
know. I know, though, that during the
night we had reinforcements, and wheE
we began to cautiously peep around, as
soon as the day began to break, we dis
covered that the enemy had by some
hook or crook taken alarm and de-
parted in the night, leaving their dead
on the field, and among them, when we
sent out our burying party, we found
one of those boys with bullet through
his lung and another bearing a chain
and note buried in his brain. On our
side we found the other nephew with
both legs broken by a ball, and a bullet
through his heart with chain and note
attached to it."
The reporter threw up his hands in
amazement, not to say doubt.
81 don't try to explain it," the vet
cran FASTENED to say, apologetically.
81 know it is hard to explain; it is even
hard to believe, but what is a man to do
or say when he sees such things with his
own eyes?'

A SOLDIER OF TRUTH.
He Contributed a Valuable Addi-
ton to War Literature.
Strange and Wonderful Was the Way
in Which n Federal Soldier and
His Confederate Brother
Found Their Death.

81 don't think I could have earned
what am now so greatly and gratefully
enjoying" said the veteran to u New
glass after a long swallow, had it not
been that to-day met an old comrade
from Kentucky, a state, you will re-
member, which had soldiers in both
armies, and good soldiers, too, may
add. This man, who is now a merchant
and comes to New York to buy goods
every year, was in the federal army,
and he had nephew in the same regi-
ment with himself and another in the
confederate army. The young chaps
were brothers, and they were mighty
fond of each other, but they were
fonder of their principles, or patriot
ism, or politics, or whatever you may
call it, so they agreed to disagree, and
each one 60 to the side he thought was
the right side.
1T was a sad parting, for they had
been closer together than most broth
ers, and before they separated they
fixed up a kind of signal to identify
themselves by, so that If one was
wounded and left on the field he could
notify the other if, it happened they
were on the opposite sides in that par
ticular fight. 1t was boyish kind of a
lottery chance of one in a million, but
it suited them, and that's all they cared
for. The signal arrangement was to be
light chain with a note fastened TO it,
and the whole thing was to be fastened
to the bullet and dropped into the old
muskets they had in those days. This
was to be fred at random up into the
air to fall among the soldiers of the
opposite side, to be picked up as il
might and taken to the man whose adj
dress was in the note, along with other
instructions to be followed out by the
brother who might be in condition to
do it. You can see how childish and
almost impossible it was, but there was
just that chance in it that made it at

Bicycle races between female con-
testants is cheap sport at it's very
best, and none but men of diseased
minds and little or no intellect find it
an attraction. Certainly no man of
self-respect would attend an event of
this sort even as witness, much less
to serve in an official capacity. There
is no necessity for wasting valuable
space on the people connected with this
mongrel game. They are too low in
the scale of humanity to deserve atten-
ton from anything but the Salvation
Army, which organization might profit
able use them as horrible examples.
They are caricatures on men and wom-

ASKING FOR MORE TROOPS.

London, Eng. April 5.-It is credibly
stated here that the admirals COM
manding the fleets ON duty at Canea

to their respective governments to

clare are required to be used for gar

approval.
For the first two years." continued
the veteran, .''the boys hadn't any occa-

gone through unscathed, and, besides,
they were serving in sections of the
country widely separated, but in 1868,

they had lost track of each other ex-
