Spelling Matches.

The spelling match mania has reached
St. Louis, and her leading and influential
citizens are wild with enthusiasm over it
A contest took place the other night f0r the
best speller. and one after another the
prominent men sigualized the attempt to
win renOwn By suffering most disastrous
defeat. They opened the contest by singing
several verses Of a hymn commencing as
follows:
Then let the contest now begin
Each to his armor look.
Array the warriors face to face!
Bring forth the spelling book
For sure in such a "war OF words
Wen falter not, nor fear
To pass again the good old times,
The days to memory dear.
The days TO memory dear, dear boys,
The days to memory dear dear girIs.
The first contestant was L. L. Reavis
whose memorable attempts to move the
aided; he spelled glibly and freely word
after word till ''capitolian' was given. aud
he failed.
Mr.. George Knapp: of the ReDuJ 7;cou,
then took the floor with the assurance that
long experience n proof reading is sure to
give, and spelled his words distinctly and
boldly until LAGOON was named. and,
amid shouts OF derision, he abandoned the
contest. Ex-senator Carl Schurz was the
hChu dAu spCiicu uutil
"pianissimo" was suggested, and ne gave il
mp after the first failure. Then Henry T.
Blow came smilingly forward, and, blushing
''like the red, red rose" tossed his castor
into the ring, and for while he seemed to
be master of the field, but "tempestuous'
broke him down, and he surrendered.
Amid breathleEs excitement the renowned
ex-senator and candidate for Vice Presi.
dent, Hon. B. Gratz Brown, whose buttered
watermelon exploits have made him fa-
nous, challenged fate and demanded a
trial. Like his celebrated race for the Vice
Presidency, he started we'll but gradually
grew worse until. finally, "cosnographicar'
tiOored him and he withdrew. Then came
ex- Representative Stanard, backed by q
large number of friends who knew his early
training would make him formidable can
didate. Tossing back his auburn locks he
mastered word after word until "mayor.
atty" was offered, and amid the applause of
his enemies and the discontinue of his
friends he gave it uD after the first failure
The vacancy for the prize seemed for q
while to be uncOntested for, until Captain
James B. Jetty Eads, with the recollection
of his deferred banquet in his mind, and
flushed with his success in getting Congress
to attempt to dig out the mouth Of the Mis-
sssippi, determined to make the contest.
He displayed remarkable ability, and for a
while it was thought he would secure the
victory, but peerless was too much for
him, and he retired. In vain was an effort
made. after this failure, to find some one
ready to contest. and the meeting adjourned
to future night, when some fifty more
citizens of st. Louis will join in this con test
and endeavOr to find some man with sutfi-
cient education to endure the trial-W Wash
