ws and Chess. fewish Chronicle. The result of the chess tournament was a veritable triumph tor Jewish chess players. Out of the fourteen engaged in the chiet or ‘‘master’’ tournament, no less than six were Jews. Andin the prize lists the first was taken by a Jew, Zukertort, and the second prize was adjudged to another Jew, Steinitz. these, another Jew, Englisch, se- cured the fifth prize, and a fourth, Rosenthal, obtained the prize allot- ted to the competitor who made the best score against the prize winners. Besides Out of the eight prizes given. no less than one-half were won by Jews. Vhe very great Jnumber take rank among the highest players, and the success of Zukertort and Steinitz, that there must something in the intellect peculiarly adapted to the game. The mathematical bent of mind, the patience, perseverance and dar- mg, and peculiar quality known as long-headness, are all properties of the Jewish nature, which are equally valuable tor business and for chess. From the times ot the Talmud, Jews have been pre-eminent at games sim- ilar to chess, and in times Jews have counted ot the bést players for several generations. who clearly indicate be Jewish modern several Army Corruption. The widespread official corruption that has marked the present period of American official hte, has, it seems, contaminated the army, which has been the fast to tall in the gener- The pay widespread than Was at first imagined. When atten- tion was first drawn to it in what was supposed to be an isolated case, the public had yet great taith in the bon- or of army officers. Developments in the of the signal service bureau, the defal- cations ot al official dishonor. practice of the duplication of accounts seems to be more conduct Howgate, and the late scandal in the department, the de- mands for investigations have been avoided, have marked the army as a department of the service that can no longer be regarded proach. There can be no doubt that official corruption is a sin of the times hatch- ed by the methods of the long dor- mant republican party, whose skill in making illicit raids on the public purse is only equalled by their great- er skill m concealing them. Inves- tigations are so carefully conducted that they simply excite the public curiosity, and convince the people that though the criminals are not convicted, yet they should be, and that halt the truth has not been told. The public has been gravely told thatthe treasury lost no money during Hayes’ administration, that the amount lost was small that it could not be computed, and yet the government now says that civil suits will be brought, where in the star route cases the criminal suits failed, to recover over $1,000,000 that filtered out of the public treasury through this one leak. Itis not much to be wondered at that the party in possession of the government fights with such persis- as above re- so tent energy to keep possession. There is a double incentiye—one to enjoy stiillonger the sweets of of- fice, and the other to hide the irreg- ularities they have committed. One Cause of Dim Sight. Youth's Companion. Prot, Reynolds said in an address to a classot medical graduates: ‘It is a well-known tact that tobacco poi- sons the nerve-centres of a majority of the male members of the human family. Careful investigations have led to the discovery, that smoking Produces the so-called amblyopia— dimness ot vision. This torm ot amblyopia is precisely identical in all respects, with that produced by the excessive use of alcohol. Both are incurable.
