EASY FOR MORPHY.
A story of the Great Chess Mast
md Celebrated Pninting,

story of the Great Chess Master
and n Celebrated Painting.
On reading the notes ON Paul Nor.
phys visit to Philadelphia am re.
minded of an incident in connection
with his visit TO Richmond about the
same time. which was related to mo
some years ago by the Rev. Mr. III. OF
that city do not remember ever to
have seen it in print. Mr. Morphy was
Mr.. II. S guest while in the city, and
on his arrival was first ushered into tho
library. and his attention was at once
attracted by painting over the man
tel. which was fino copy of cele.
brated painting representing game of
chess between a young man and the
devil, the stake heing the young mans
soul.
The artist had most graphically de-
picted the point III tho game whore it
WAS apparently the young man $ move,
and he seemed just to realize the fact
that he had lost the game, the agony of
despair being shown Ill every line of his
features and attitude, while tho devil
from the opposite side of the table gloat-
ed over him with fiendish delight The
position of tho game appeared utterly
hopeless for tho young man. and Mr.
ii. said he had often set it up and
studied it with his chess friends, and
all agreed the young mans game was
certainly lost
Mr.. Morphy walked up to the picture
and studied il for several minutes, when
finally. turning to Mr.. H., he said:
Il can win tho game for tho young
man. "
Mr.. Ill. was of course astonished and
said lis 1t possible?"
Mr.. Mofphy replied. "Get out the
men aud board and let us look at it, :"
The position was set up, and i'll few
rapid moves he demonstrated complete
win for tho young man, and tho devil
was checkmated. Robert Munford in
