Mark Twain on Spelling Matches. u i recent spelling-match at Hartford, H.'iHchdou. llawley, Judge Carpenter find other local celebrities were partici I 1 hr Mature of the entertainment was an j Ur.iuctorj speech by Samuel L. Cle I '.".(Mark Twain). He said : f L'"';Vs ('cnth-mcttI have been j ,1R,r0(l with the office of introducing these I 1 n,K.liing orthographical solemnities with 1. 'remarks. The temperance crusade I pt ,o land some time ago that is, that I va-t portion of the land where it was needed j l,ut it skipped Hartford. Xow comes I cW spelling epidemic, and this thime ! v -ire stricken.' So I suppose we needed the a miction, x uu l aa u uouiu fr I don't see any use in spelling a word j.j.rht and never did. I mean 1 don't see ai!y u-e in lming a uniform and arbitrary wav of spelling words. We might as well mVke all clothes alike and cook all dishes alike, fiamciicss is tiresome ; variety is pleasing. I bave a correspondent whose letters are al wavs a refreshment to me, there is such a breezy unfettered originality about his or- th'iri-apliV. IIc lwa)'s T1 Kow wit a lar-re K. Now that, is just as good as to -11 it with a small one. It is better, it the imagination a oroauer ueiu, ii l . i t i wiuVr scope. It suggests to the mind a 1VI'S lilVv Piiperb effects can be produced by variega ted spelling. Now there is Ulind Tom, the musical prodigy. He always spells a word according to the sound that is carried to his ear. And lie is an enthusiast in orthography. "When you give him a word, lie shouts it out puts all his soul into it. I once heard him called upon to 5pell oralis outang before an audieuce. He said, ). r-a-n-g.orang, g-e-r.ger, oranger, t-a-n-g, tanir, orange ger tang !" Now a body can respect an orang-outang that spells his name in a vigorous way like that. But the fee ble dictionary makes a mere kitten of him. In the old times people spelled just as they pleased. That was the right idea. You had two chances at a stranger then. You knew a strong man from a weak one by his iron-clad spelling, and his hand-writing helped you to verify your verdict. Some people have an idea that correct Mx-lli:r.r can be taught and taught to any body. " That is a mistake. The spelling faculty is born in a man, like poetry, music, and art. It is a gift ; it is a talent. Peo ple who have this gift in a- high degree, un!v need to see a word once in print, and it is furever photographed upon their mem ory. They can not forget it. People who haven't it mut be content to spoil more or h-s likt like thunder and expect to ..linter the dictionary wherever their or thographical lightning happens to strike. There are 114.ii)0 words in the unabriged dictionary. I know a lady who can spell only ISO of them right. She steers clear of all the rot. She can't learn any more. So her letters always consist of those con tautly recurring ISO words. Now and then, when sh-finds herself obliged to wrUe upon a subject which necessitates the itse of some other words, she well, she don't write on that subject. I have a re lative in New York who is almost sub limely gifted. She can't spell any word right. There is a game called Yerbarium. A dozen people are each provided with a sheet of paper, across the top of which is written a long word like a kaleidoscopical, or something like that, and the game is to hee who can make up the most words out of that in three minutes, always beginning with the initial letter of that word. Upon one occasion the word chosen was coffer dam. When time was called everybody had built from five to twenty words except this young lady. She only had one word calf. We all studied a moment and then s;iiJ, -Why there is no 1 in cofferdam." Then we examined her pajer. To the eternal honor of that uninspired, uncon scious, sublimely independent soul be it said, she had sjK.lt that word ;caff !" If anybody here can spell call any more sensibly than that,kt him step to the front and take his imlk. Early Bibles. A printer's widow in Germany, while a new edition of the bible was beinjr prin ted in Iter Louse, one uiirht entered the office to alter the .sentence of subjection to her husband pronounced upon h.ve, in (ieuc.sia, ehyp. '6, v. 1 0. She removed the two first letters of the word ''licit' and substituted Nil' in their place, thus alter ing the sentence from ';aml lie shall be thy Lord,' ryrjc to "and he shall be thy Fool," AW. It is said her life paid for this in tentional erratum, and that some secreted copies have been bought up at enormous prices. The '-Pearl IJibles," amonc; the earliest Tinted, were of full inaccuracies. The errors are said to have been in a great part voluntary passages omitted and inter polated, and meanings forged sometimes to sanction the new creed of some new fleet, and sometimes to destroy scriptural authority by a confusion or au omission of texts. Jt is said that one edition oi the 1'carl Bible swarii.cd with six: thousand errors. In a later edition the negative iu the seventh commandment was omitted so that it read "Thou shalt commit adultry." For which the archbishop laid upon the pub lishers one of the heaviest penalties ever recorded in the annuals of the press. It ;tpj.urs by a calculation made by the printer of .Stevens Jvlition of Shakesc 2ear, that every octavo page of that work con tains 2,(j0 pieces of metal ; this iu a sheet Miou'its to -12,880 the misplacing of any one of which would inevitably cause a blun der With this curious fact before us, the accurate state of our printing iu general is to be admired, and errata ought more free ly to pardoned than the fastidious minute ness of the insect eye of certain critics has allowed. A V'rominct. iti.ii rm Vr1ion street ho is the pruud Mjssessor of a handsome daughter, went home to tea, the other evening, and .said to his wife; "Mother, 1 have anally succeeded in my petition for a "t utup on our street, ana it is gonn. tj be st-t up directly in front of our gate !'
