Spelling Matches.

A favorite amusement IN the more
intimate circle of Louis Napoleon's
Court is contests in spelling. At re-
cent trial, for which words of extraor-
dinary difficulty were selected, Napo-
leon made nine blunders, Prince Met
ternich six, Baron Coryisart eight, the
Prince Imperial eleven, and N. Octave g
Feuillet, the author, fourteen. But as
NJ Feuillet had before proved himself
very successful courtier, the suspic-
ion that he spelled SO many words
wrong on purpose is not unnatural.
It is rather remarkable, too, that
spelling was a favorite diversion with
the party of journalists whom the
Union Pacific Railroad Company re-
Gently entertained in a journey TO the
Rocky Mountains and back. In that
collection Of wits and scholars, some of
the brightest showed themselves very
uncertain in the spelling of the vernsc-
ular, One promising young writer,
setting out to spell ten words on a wa
ger, failed on the first four; and anoth-
.er gentleman of long experience, grad
uate of Princeton College, and bright
and shining light in the literary circles
of Boston, went out of a similar con-
test with his Plumes draggled and bis
spirit broken. Five other gentlemen,
one Of them a distinguished member
of Yale College, were all fOored to-
gether by the word iSsnHeHdo, and
brayely lost money on their faith. An
other, who had stood all other tests,
gave way before the word ipeeaeuanbd,
and another, who till then had success
fully cOntended against the dictionary,
went to the ground at apopOtkegDa In
8hort, though nobody bluudered SO
badly as Louis Napoleon or Octave
Feuillet, there was not a man 10 the
whole crowd who was able to spell cor
rectly every one of perhaps hundred
English words that were suceessiyely |

What is the matter with these poor

Good Spelling.

A piOus but illiterate deacon, in a
certain town in Massachusetts, gave a
stage driver slip of paper, upon which,
he said were written the names of a
couple Of books, which he wished him
to call for at the bookstore. The dri-
yer called at the store, and handing
the memorandum to the clerk, said:
There is a couple Of books which
Deacon B. wished YOU to send him.
The clerk, after a careful examination
Of the paper was unable to make
'head or taiF of il and passed it to
the book-keepeT, who was supposed to
know something Of letters; but to him
it was also "Greek." The proprietor
was called, and he also gave up IN
despair; and it was finally concluded
beat TO send the memorandum back to
the deacon. 1t was supposed be must
have sent the wrong paper. As the
coach arrived at the village inn the
driver saw the deacon standing on the
steps.
''WeIl, driver" said he, 'Slid you
get my books tO-dayF
"BOoksi No! and a good reason
Why! for there couldn't a man in
Worcester read your old hen-trscks.n
Couldn't read ritinl Let me see
the paper"
The driver drew it from his pocket,
and passed it to the deacon, who
taking out and carefully adjusting his
glasses, held the memorandum at
arms length, and exclaimed, as he did
so, IN very satisfied tone:
"Wby it's as plain as the nose on
your face. TO Sam B-u-x-two
psalm booksP guess his clerks had
better so to school a quarter" 4"
Aud here the deacon made souHs fe-
fleetioUs upon the ''ignorancs Of the
times, and the want Of attention TO
books by the ''rising generation"
which would have been al very well
if said By some one else.

The accident which caused the death
of Wau-ne- pe-wink-a (the Indian Pin-
cess, at La Crosse, WISCONSIN, is mar
rated as follows: She was standing
at the railway depot With her two
fatherless children, waiting the arrival
of the train. One of the little ones got
upon the track. Seeing its danger,
the mother, regardless of her own life,
sprang forward and snatched the
child from the very jaws of death
She threw the little one upon the plat
form, but it was too late to save her
self The rushing locomotive caught
her blanket and threw her upon the
track the wheels caught her foot, and
run over It, crushing the bones to
atoms, tearing off the flesh and making
a frightful wound, The bone up to
the knee was splintered. Such an in
Jury could not but be overwhelmingly
painful, yet the Indian mother, with
wonderful nerve, drew her knife from
her belt, aud cutting off the loosely
hanging flesh, washed the limb and
bound It up with, her own hands,
refusing all assistance. A physician
was called, who recommended ampu-
tstion as the only possible way IN
which to save her life. She refused to
have. the operation performed, mortif-
cation took place, and death soon after
ensued. -.--.r....
