 which ars here given 4s they were spelled: portemonniae, dIsheville, cason, vermil- lion, metonomy, stirup, tranquility, ,achiev- ment. idocracy, escailop, pellisse, verde gris, allegable, collectable, rythmic, ,ique- ble, sybil. Three or four of the, above words foored several each. Mir. TWichell
 one of the captains, went down for spell
 ing pelisse with two Is, and Miss Blythe, the other, on escalop 1prthe same fault
 After spelling for nearly an hour, only General Hawley, Mir. Roberts, Mr. Clem- ems, Charles H. Clark. Miss Keen, Dr.
 Burton ana Miss Stone: were standine. General Hawley went down on trisylable, Mir. Roberts on sibyl, Miss Darrow on iqueble, Mir. Clemens on chaldron, (spell- ed by him cauldron,) and after the match it was discovered that Webster,s table of words, in which different ways of spelling are sanctioned by 'tpresent usage," g1ves this as one of the ways; MT. Clark on fel; loe, and Miss Keep on alapaca. At 10 oiGl0ck Dx, Burton and Miss Stone alone remained standing, but the former took the first opportunity to spell calicoes without the "e." which left Miss Stone winner of the first prize. -Mr. Clemens. had offered as the prize for the best spell CT 6 choice between "Guizot's exquisitely illustrated History of France, 300 wood engravings, 40 fine steele engraving, pub lished by Estes 4 Lauriat. Boston, in 50 semi-nonthly parts," The ~"London Art Journal, Appleton, American publisher, in monthly parts," and "A Nosegay," daintily painted upon slate, on a finely polished surface, the invention and handi- work of New England lady" Miss Stone chose the latter and Mir. Thichell presented ito her. MT. Clemens pre-. scented Judge Carpenter with box of children's colored blocks, ou which the letters of the alphabet were painted, as a prize for being the first speller to miss a word. The presentation eicited much merrimept. Subsequently Judge Carpen- ter was presented with three volumes of public documents. including agricultural and credit mobelier investigation reports. Altogether the match proved very anus ing, the Rev. Dr. Burton, MT. Twichell and MT. Clemens especially enlivening the exercises by occasional comments. Speaker Durand and a large number of the members of the legislature were among the spectators. .-Hartford Cosudnt.

The way the people are taxed and
robbed by taxation for the benefit of
politicians and men in office has an apt
illustration in the way the officials at
Little Rock, Arkansas, do the printing
for the State under and by virtue Of the
enactments OF the Legislature. The
paper upon which is printed the reports
of the various officers, the acts of the
Legislature and all the printing required,
costs at Little Rock about fifteen cents
a pound, or about three hundred dollars
q ton. The laws and documents are
printed and paid for in addition to the
paper, and then about ten tons Of the
same are sold each year to firm in Gin
cinnati dealing largely in paper and rags
for three cents a pound, or sixty dollars
a ton. The printers get paid for their
work, and take for perquisites al
most the whole of the printed matter and
sell it for waste paper. Those doing the
State printing for Arkansas have brought
the thing down to very nice point. Ar
kansas is not the only State that does
business that way.

One of the most thoroughly satisfac-
tory reports presented at the late meet
ing of the centennial commission was
that of Mr.. Matthews, of Illinois, from
the committee on the opening ceremonies
of the exhibition, recommending ap-
pointments for that purpose as follows: +:
President, the president OF the United
States; orations by Charles Francis
Adams, of Massachusetts, and Lucius
@. g. Lamar, OF Mississippi; poet, Il.
w. Longteilow; grand marshal, General
w. I. Sherman; master Of ceremonies,
General Joseph e. Johnston. This list
taking everything into consideration, 1t
would be extremely difficult to improve.
It tis powerful, ana trustworthy and an
selection, which, we think,
would at once give the people conf
dence that the opening ceremonies would
be carried out wofthiiy and well. The
very announcement OF these names,
though causing, perhaps, little start Of
surprise at first to the reader, seems like
pledge OF the old fraternal union of
North and South once more at the great
shrine OF American Independence. A
new "committee on opening ceremo-
mics" has just been appointed, but we
think 1t could hardly do more accept
able service, or one that would be more
promising for success III their great task,
than to take the part of the programme
thus sketched out and carry it, II pOssi-
BILE, to consummation.

OF ALL the countries that have ac-
eepted the invitation to participate in
cur Centennial, none have shown more
spirit and readiness to respond in sub
stantial manner than New South Wales,
the earliest settled portion of Australia,
and The portion where gold was first
discovered. She has grown compara-
lively wealthy, and although so far sep
arated from other portions of the world,
the authorities have exhibited their ap-
probation OF the industrial arts and the
Importance of cultivating them, and of
cultiyating social intercourse with other
nations, by appropriating five thousand
pounds sterling for proper representa-
ton. The country which has long been
noted for its stock-raising capacity, has
also rich productive soil and an adapt
ability to certain lines Of manufactures,
which have already made much progress
and will be greatly strengthened by the
part her people will take in the Centen-
nial Exposition. Our country, with her
national highways and her proposed
interoceanic canal, is on the natural
nne between New South Wales and her
mother country, and this action may do
much toward opening up this route,
which will prove quicker and, in time,
more profitable to all concerned, both
in commercial point and in that of
strengthening the friendship which al
ready exists,
