THE SPELL.-The contagion of the
photographic spell developed itself at
Toml;n's Hall on Tuesday night. DIR.
R. R. Dashiel was called to the chair,
and in a few sensible and timely re-
marks, explained the object of the
meeting. Several committees were
then appointed, whose duty it is to or
ganize a regular spelling match, for
some future occasion. At this point
in the proceedings it was suggested
that an informal trial of the skill of
those present in word-memory be made
for the benefit of the large audience Of
ladies and gentlemen, who had been
drawn together on the occasion. The
enunciators took their positions on the
stage, when the contestants to the
numberof score or thereabOut were
placed in two opposite rows in front of
the directors of the performance. The
words were selected at random from
the dictionary, or suggested by those
on the stand, and very interesting
test was applied to the candidates, all
of whom were males, some of them
being of middle agos while the rest of
them were fresh from their books.
Being the first exhibition of the kind
in Jackson, the fact was not generally
known, and we suppose that better
system will be suggested for the next
trial 1t is hardly fair 10 any man to
confront him with an unabridged Web
ster or Worcester. No one could stand
it. The average diction used by the
mass of the people should be the test
of selection, instead of terms familiar
only to the professions, or the trades.
Sheridan, Walker, Jones, Perry, Jami-
son aud Johnson, all of whom were
great photographers, in their day, have
one by one been spelled down, and it
is not to be expected than any one can
pass safely through the wilderness of
exceptions to general rules and the
changes that have been made on TWEEN
ty different systems, by the later aU-
thorities. As the performance of Tues
day night was the first of the kind,
and only skirmish fire, we do not care
to give the names of the different cen
testants, or to 90 into details. Next
Tuesday evening the exercises will be
renewed at the same place, and we viii
report the proceedings fully. We
doubt not that the interest manifested
by the people in these spelling matches
will continue for some time to come.
Amusement and instruction 20 hand
in hand in such diversions, and as
many of our best citizens seem disposed
to take the lead, we anticipate many
pleasant reunions, for the purpose of
polishing up our old mother English,
the grand world-prevailing tongue,
that Is spoken and written wherever
ships sail or anchor, wherever the iron
threads of a railway are stretched, or
wherever human endeayor Is the
highest and the bravest. Renting |
the tactics of these word battles 10 |
those who may conduct them hereafter,
We dismiss the subject for the present. |
The system of English orthography is
one on which we might diIate beyond |
the limits Of even 4 long newspaper |
article, but we are not disposed to in |
pose an essay on our readers, when /
mere hints Of what is transporting in
the great world are sufficient to crowd |
the columns of the country press.
