Game OF Chesg ts Old.

The game of chess seems to have
been known in Hindoostan by the name
Of Cheturanga. 1t was changed by
the Persians into Chetrang, but the
Arabs, who took possession Of that
country, had neither the initial nor
the final letters cf that word in their
alphabet. Consequently they altered
the name to Shetranj. Though at one
time the Chinese claimed to have
played chess in TIA b. c., the Hindus
played 1t long before that time.

House and OF the Senate have a con-

on April 25th.
Advance copies OF the law that
