ELEMENT OF CHANCE IN GAMES.
Bru '
We should like to know how good
a player a man must be before he 1
can truly say that he never owes a
victory or a defeat at cheats to good
or ill luck. Clieiss. as played by be
ginnere, is far more often decided by
chance than not. As played even by
fairly good players, it is not always
a game which m entirely controlled
hy tlieir contending skill. A more
than average player must often eon
fess to himself that tlie result of a
move was purely accidental, and
that the very step which he re
gretted. the moment that it became
irrevocable, was the step which ulU
mately ojiened the way to success.
No doubt among such eness players
as Messrs. Blackburn®. bteimtz and
others tliis element of chance is re
duced to the minimum; but even in
their game it must still exist to a
certain extent.
A player who is said to play a bril¬
liant game must often appeal to
blind fortune in making some of the
moves which earn him the title,
for from all accounts there are
among even the best chess players
two different classes—the brilliant
player and the machinelike player;
that is to say, the player who Some¬
times goes astray from his rule and
theory and the player who never de¬
viates from them, and what advan¬
tage can the former ever hope to
gain over the latter except it bo
with the aid of chance?
Even more strictly scientific than
chess is the game of draughts. Be¬
tween skillful players of draughts it
seems impossible for there to bo any
room for the intervention of fortune.
But then draughts, with all duo de¬
ference to its players, is uot a very
amusing game, and they who seek
amusement will probably reverse
the board, and with the cheerful rat¬
tle of dice embark upon the chances
of backgammon. Even in games of
manual skill it is the lurking ele¬
ment of chance which adds to them
no unimportant attraction.
The “glorious uncertainty of crick¬
et” is not an empty phrase; were it
not for that uncertainty a cricket
match would lose much of its inter¬
est not only for the spectators, but
for the players too. Aud in cricket,
tennis and in other games, os in
chess, there is also the distinction be¬
tween the brilliant and the cautious
player, tie player who hazards the
most and the player who hazards
the least; tlie one who sometimes is
willing to depend on chance, and the
one who is not. Now there is no
doubt which of those two the world
most admires and would most wil¬
lingly emulate. the world
Curiously enough, same
that welcomes the element of chance
in games of science aud skill is al¬
ways anxious to introduce some ele¬
ment of science into its diversions
with pure chance. When it actually
layg with fortuno 0 * an antagonist,
p gets its keenest enjoyment fi-om
its efforts to load the dice. We do
not suppose that the gambler exists
who doe « not secretly cherish the
fond idea that he can cheat fortune.
If betting upon horse races were ft
ma£ ter of absolute uncertainty, the
bookmaker’s occupation would be
gone, and tho interest that we now
display in betting—we mean to my
improvement of our breed of
t^to^hSt^fortune
with the science of superior informa
turn, and it must be confessed that
tlie amusement allows a largo mar
gin for the operation of that science,
and tLat tho P® 1-8011 who it
wins.

LONGSTREET SERVING A CANNON.
*» Gr ~‘
Lo ngstreet( lxmi a soldier, gradu
attH , at We8t Point, exrwrienced by
yea ^ o£ active duty in the Mexican
war and ; u otlier service as an oilicer
f or t j ie army, was an excel*
j el ,^ artillerist, sighting a cannon
vrith aa much precision as a pistol or
musket. At the luittle of Antieuun,
or sbarp8 burg, McClellan sent *
8tro a , niust an uuoccupietl
lx)rtitm of Longstreet’s line. The
ja^j. waa quick to notice this move
ment Calling to General Son-ell
and Captain Latrobe to follow him,
Longst reet galloped to the gap in his
bue> toward which point the Fed
era j s were advancing rapidly. Two
cannou had been !eft there, almost
the entire crew of both guns dead or
iyi n <r desperately wounded
Ijtjnf rst,vct instantly dismounted,
Jln d with the aid of Sorrell and La
trobe wheeled the heavy pieces into
line, double shotted them and trained
them on the advancing h eaer&l line.
Longstreet sighted both pieces and
jerked the lanyards with his own
hands. The effect was terrific. Both
shots went through, mowing great
git] is in the Federal line. The pieces
were loaded and trained rapidly, so
that, again and again the advancing
line of Federate was broken and mo¬
mentarily halted, giving time to nc
complish what Longstreet hftd in
view—tlio re-estabhshment of his
own lme conceit tinting at tnat^io t
of attack.
Noticing a group of Union soldiers
watching the fight from a distant
hill, Longstreet elevated his two
pieties and fired at them. The shells
wont just above the group, m which
was McClellan, scattering them ira
mediately. Unknown to the Con
federate officers McClellan sent post
haste for one of his best batteries. A
few minutes later Lee and Long
street were conversing on a h%li bill
to the east of Sharpsburg, near the
point from which Longstreet had
been firing. While these two were
talking General D. II. Hill rode up,
bringing a message to Lee. I Long¬
street advised Hill to dismdunt, as
his conspicuous appearance on horse¬
back might draw tlie Federal fire.
For some reason tlio advice was not
followed.
A few seconds later a puff of smoke
drew their attention for the first
time to the Federal battery which
McClellan had just posted. The
shell aimed at Leo, Longstreet and
Hill was well directed. Lee was on
one side of Hill, his hand resting on
tlio bridle of the latter's horse.
Longstreet was on the other side of
tlio horse, a few feet away. The
shell struck Hill’s horse, cutting off
both legs just below the knees. Tlie
poor brute fell to his knees and re¬
mained in that position, with his
back at an awkward slant, while
Hill was making vigorous and very
ludicrous, ltecause necessarily awk¬
ward, efforts to dismount. He first
threw his leg, in the usual fashion,
over the cantle of the saddle, hut in
his haste came near toppling for¬
ward over liis horse’s head.
Lee and Longstreet both laughed
heartily at Hill's position and has¬
tened to help him dismount. Hill,
throwing one leg over the pommel of
his saddle, dismounted without help
and then joined in the laugh at his
expense. Tlie same shell from Mc¬
Clellan’s battery, narrowly missing
Lee and Longstreet and killing Hill’s
horse, went on its way of destruc¬
tion, exploding over a Confederate
regiment behind Hill, killing and
wounding a considerable number of
men.—Atlanta Constitution.
