The Cincinnati Gazette contains some inter- esting reflections on the game of Chess, which is now attracting an unusual degree of atten- tion, and from its article we take the following extracts: The reason why chess has such an interest for intellectual people .s, that no game and no ma- ebine yet invented is so various, complicated and perfect, as this. This may seem a startling proposition, as it is certainty broad. But it is true, and er be proved by a single example Thousands of games of chess are recorded, and tens of millions played, ard tens of millions will be played, and ye: no two games having thirty moves will ever be alike! Each jayer sits down not only to a new game for hiniself, but toa new game among all that ever were played. The principle on which this depends is & purely mathematical one, and arises from the number of changes which may be made out of a given number of pieces. Let us try, now, to get a very slight idea, for it is only a slight one, of the variety which it involves If a per- son had before him a board with ten squares, and in cach square a hole with a peg in it, in Low many ways can he change those pegs? He could change them more than three millions six hundred thousand times! If now he can change ten pegs nearly four millions of times, how mapy times can he change the, men in ebéss? There are sixty-four Squares in chess; there are sixteen me th one or two moves in two directions; there are four that can make fourteen moves each from their standpoint, and from each new standpoint make fourteen more; there are four a that can make at least fourteen moves from any one point en lines di- to the other four; there is one Piece which has all the moves of these last two, and there is one of which the moves are regulariy irregular, and froui the eentre of the board can make thousands of moves different from euch other. After this enumeration of chess moves, we think no mathematician in his senses will undertake to solve the number of combinations which may be made. Suffice it to say, that the ebanges which may be made on Pes, in their holes, would require a row of twenty figures to enumerate! Take sixty-five squares and thou- sands of moves, the computation of changes becomes impossible by any nary exertion of labor or skill. The combination of billiards, dice or cards, are nothing in comparison with chess. Such is the variety and complexity of this wonderful game. Its perfection is almost as remarkable. For a thousand years numerous minds e tried S improve this game. But it has never been jone. We believe the pieces and moves remain the same they were hundreds of years ago. The present names of the pieces are significant of the feudal ages. But the names have varied, and bow old the game of chess ia we capnot pretend to say. It is claimed by the Arabians, and generally believed to have originated in ¥ersia or India, and is, without doubt, of great antiquity. It would be a curious sight to look down upon Joseph and Pharaoh laying chess! Yet they may have done so. ore probably, however, the game really owes its origin to the brilliant court of Persia, whoee art, luxuries ants magnificence were typical of the ancient mind. _ The knight is, by far, the most brilliant and interesting piece of the chess board. He is so representative in his movements ot the true knight of the middle ages that we might easily believe he was iuvented in the time of Richard Coeur de Lion. He has not the power of the queen, the dignity of the king, the Strength of the castle, or the jurisdiction of the bishop, but he exceeds them all in his variations and gal- lant movements. He is agile, quick, and ca- vorting, like the trained warrior on a gallant steed. Mr. Morphy, and all the great chess players, have made great use of the knight, and the wost brilliant positions and stratagies in chess, have been achieved by the knight. In playirg chess, there have been a reat many remarkable players and teachers. There have atso been what may be ealled schools of chess, which are distirguished by the openings. ‘The most remarkable, and perbaps the best, is that of Phillidor. wic se reputation has not been vbscured, even by wore remarkable players. iis opzning is thecommon one of the pawn and bishop, which opens a fair field for ter move- ment*. The most noted Italian school brings out the knight the second move, attacking the opposite person, and compelling his defense with the knight. The Gambits, so much cale- brated, (and for the purpose of amusement only, the best,) depend wlely on the principle of sacrificing « person for position, in which tl.¢se games are precisely similar to the battles of some great generals. “But the success of the game depends wholly on the fact of surprising and disconcerting your adversary by the vigor of your attack. Hence, this is not safe against a great player. We hear that Mr. Mor uy has beaten ali the Gambit players, while 7 lost several games playing with Harwitz on the old plan. Toe Gambit games are delightful among friends playing fur amusement, but are not eyual fur the sulid Phillidor opening. Some of our austere moraliats may ask, cu: fono? What is the wse? Why should men give so many hours to chess? To this we shall make two remarks: First, mankind mwst have amusewents. The wise man will not ask whether they shall have them, but whether they are of an innocent and salutary kind? We grant that the best of all play is to befound in the woods and fields, romping with nature, kissing the winds, loving the trees, and be- holding the unequalled glory of God, in the surpassing excellence of His works. We grant this and wish that all might feel it. But this ismotall. There are seasons of cold, days of darkness, periods of physical inability—and must we have no variety at these periods? Is there nothing but talking and reading to be done? There will be indoor games; and chess is so far superior, so elevated, refined and in- telleetual, compared with any and all others, that, among an intellectual people, it must always have the highest rank. The great ob- jection to cheaz is that it is a sedentary game, .eyuicing deep thought. ‘his is an objection ; but, on the other hand, it is a different kind of thought from ordinary study, and has no tinge of dissipation about it Chess is also a friend to some of the moral Virtues. Patience, prudence and temperance are all commended ing chess) Aman would have little chauce in chess, who played it with « head muddled with wine or brandy, and al- most ag little who got out of patience and out of temper. It demands a mind cool, calm and temperate. It was Dr. Franklin, we think, who said to chess players, “ If you cannot get a victory over your adversary, get one over your- self.” Axusixa Ixctouxt trv Court.—At Durham assizes a very deaf old lady, who had brought an action for damages against a neighbor, was being examined, when the Judge suggested a compromise, and instructed couusel to ask ber what she would take to settle the matter. “ What will you take?” asked the gentieman in the bob-tailed wig, of the old lady. The old iady merely shook her bead at the counsel, in- forming the jury, in confidence, that “she was very bardo hearin.’ “His lordship wants to know what you will take ’’’ asked the counsel again, this time bawling as loud as ever he evuld in the old lady's ear. *-I thank hislord- Lip kindly,”” the ancient dame answered stuut- ig, -% 3 no ill convenience to him, I'll take a little warm ale.’ (Roars of laughter) — English payer.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT FURs. Some interesting facts relative to the fur trade of the Hudson Bay Company are related in the eor: ndence of the New Hampshire Statesman. The fars and peltries of the com- pany comprise the following varieties: Fox, of several colors; black and brown bear; otter, lynx, beaver, raccoon, mi ash. wolf, fur seal, martin, , and ermine. The most Sportent in the list is sable, of whieh about 125,000 are collected by the com- pany annually, In England the sable was always held in great estimation ; 2 wreath of biack sable which was presented to. Henry L., in the early part of the eleventh century, by the Bishop of Lincoln, costing no less than £100, which in those days was an immense sum. The Russian or Siberian sable is most es- teemed, being softer and more silky than the American. Kussia produces about 25,000 of them annually. The price corresponds to the abundance and glossy blackness of the upper coat—a high garment not unfrequently costin; $250. The civie robes of the Lord Mayor an Corporation of London, whieh, according to the Munieipal law and lo: usage, must be worn on State occasions, whieh are very numerous, are trimmed with sable. Nearly nine-tenths of the American satle skins, amounting to 125,000 annually, forwarded by the Hudeon Bay Company, are sent to Franco and Ger- many, where it is greatly admired for ladies’ wear. Of martin skins, the Company gathered in one year 14,000, and the French free traders in Canada exported 30,325 of them in the same year. The most valuable among the varieties of the fox are the black or silver,—a single skin often commanding at wholesale $200, aud even $500 Abvut 1,000 of them are collected an- nually by the Company, and nearly all to go to Kussia and China for linings and trimmings to dresses. Tho far of the sea otter is used for a similar purpose, and for caps, collarsand robes. About 15,000 or 20.000 are collected anbually, and will go to China, where asingle skin fetches $75, except a few which go to Russia, Turkey and Greece. Lynx and lynx eat are now out of fashion in Europe, and are dyed and repared for expor- tation to this country. Wolf skins go to Rus- sia for sleigh robes. Beaver has become a mere drug, since the era of cotton hats. Beaver skips are used in the army for military taps and pistol holsters. The brown beaver, which was in great de- mand in Europe fifty years ago, a single skin often commanding fifty guineas, now seldom brings five. The polecat skin is much admired for its beauty, but is hardly ever used, in con- sequence of its bad odor. Squirrel is used in immense quantities all over Europe, and the Hudson Bay cones Prd export vast quantities to the continent. It is extensively and suocess- fally dyed in imitation of Russian sable. Its lightless makes it highly prized, the belly of the dark blue variety being said to weigh no taore than a pound and a half, when made into a full-sized cloak. The Siberian ermine is said to excel the Amer- ican variety, in ite intense aud spotless white- ness. The Hudson Bay Company trap about 20,000 annually. The Fashions fer Nevember. Le Follet says: With respect to materials fur walking dresses, thicker and warmer tex- tures are now appearing in great var 5 Plaids are very much in favor, both in poplin and in woolen fabrics. Satin, teffetas, and velvet are also much worn. The skirts also are worn very full, and while some are made quite plain, many are seen with two, three, or more flounces, and double skirts cannot yet be considered as discarded. We still hear that the jigot sleeve will be worn this season; it is’ quite certain that sleeves closed at the wrists, with turned back cuffs, are very generally adopted. Dark colors are, of course, much worn at this season—green, blue, croseille, drab, iron gray, and brown; but above all— especially in silk dresses—black appears to be in favor. Eveniug head dresses are usually made cither in the form of a caene-psigne or w diadem. Flowers are very much worn in the basi , and are always accompanied with a great deal of foliage. Bonnets are, in general, worn larger than they were last year. Feather trimmings are very fashionable. Many white bonnets are trimmed with colored velvet. The mixture of white aud black is still considered distingue. Straw bonnets have laicly been trimmed with crimson, green, or Napoleon blue velvet. Mar- igold evlored velvet is exceedingly becoming to some complexions, but should be mixed with black. Jonquil color is also very good, and will be extremely fashio this winter. ‘Lhe mixture of terry velvet and plush is ex- tremely pretty, and seems much likely to be Worn this winter, as will also satin; but at present silk, royal velvet, terry velvet and even crape are most worn. These are gen- erally trimmed with black lace and narrow velvet, with flowers of feathers. Small bou- quets, wreaths and bows are still worn across tne forehead, although not now the grand mode; but they require much skill in the placing, also in the choice of color. The autumn mantles are high and mostly made with wide sleeves. They are flat on the shoulders, with a wide lace round the pelerine, which reaches to the waist. The lower part is set in large plaits, widening towards the bot- tom. The Grand Duchesse is four yards and three-eighths round. This elegant cloak should be trimmed with lace half a yard wide, and is certainly the most elegant mantle of the sca- son. The sleeves are very wide and long, reaching nearly to the bottom of the cloak. Far will be worn during the winter as trim- ming for dresses as well as cloaks. Panty Srinit tx Srary.—As a proof of the height to which party spirit is now carried in iu, ® letter from Madrid bas the following: he tribunals have become a sort of arena i which things which cannot be printed can be spoken with impunity. Newspaper prusecu- tons are very frequent, and the advocates who are charged with the defence of editors, being generally publie men, employ, to the utmost, the latitude allowed to the bar, not to defend the clients, but to aggravate the attacks and the libels for which they are prosecuted. When such trials take place, the benches and every standing place are occupied by well dressed people, who take delight in the polished invec- tives that are thus delivered against public me: A midshipman asked a priest the differ- eace between a priest and a jackass. The priest gave itup. “One wears a cross on his ack, and the oper on his breast,’’ said the midship- man. “‘ Now,’’ said the priest, ‘‘ tell ine the difference between a midshipman and a jack- ass.” The midshipman gsve it up, and asked what it was. The priest said he did not know of any. iL In New Bedford, the Female femperance Society is now moving for the establishment of a Home for the fallen. i A youth but ten years old, named Walker sot and killed acatamouat, near Memphis, on Saturday.
