THE SPELLING BEE.
An Amusing Buzz at Girardey’s Opera
House Last Night.
The second spelling bee of the sea
son, for the benefit of the Young Men’s
Christian Association, after various
postponements, took place last night
at Girardey’s Opera House, a very line
audience being present to enjoy the
fun. The following was the organiza
tion of the school:
Umpires—George T. Barnes, Patrick
Waisli, J. S. Wright.
Dictators—J. Alma Pelot, F. T. Lock
hart.
Scholars—A. G. LaTaste, S. P. Wei
siger, W. M. Hitt, W. C. Sibley, J. P. K.
Walker, Wm. I. Delph, Berry Benson,
J. M. Weigle, Jas. Saiusimon, Geddiugs
Lamb, J. A. Thorne, J. J. Russell, An
drew Stuart, S. Warren Mays, Chas. E.
Coffin, Frank Bowers.
The “Bee,” though not quite so
amusing as the first one given some
weeks since, was yet most interesting,
and created a very hearty laugh on the
part of the audience at the expense of
the spellers. Chairs were provided for
the spellers—there being three tiers of
seats. The classes were seated on the
lower side of the stage. When one
misspelled a word he took a seat in the
middle tier, but still engaged in the
spelling until another should be missed,
when the bad speller took his seat on
the outer tier of chairs, and if he missed
again he retired.
The Dictators alternated in giving
the words to the classes, and when a
word was doubtful it was referred to
the umpires, who had as authorities
for reference the dictionaries of Web
ster, Worcester and Walker. If the
spelling of a word was not approved by
the class, the scholars would indicate
their objection by rising. The Dicta
tors commenced with the simple words
and gradually proceeded to the more
difficult. One by one the spellers were
accorded seats in the tier set apart for
the “mis-spellers”—at one time several
who approved of a wrong spelling go
ing over in a body, until but three were
left on the “correct” benches, Messrs.
Benson, Weisiger and Coffin, who held
their own well. The two former al
most went over when Mr. LaTaste
spelled “oraug outang,” they objecting
and claiming that “onrang outang” was
the right way. The umpires decided
both ways were correct.
Mr. Weiseger went over on “de
bouch,” spelling it with a final e. All
the others approved the spelling,
which the umpires decided was wrong,
Hence their positions were changed,
the three on the correct benches going
to the second tier, those on the second
to the third, and those on the third go
ing out. Mr. Coffin took a seat in the
third tier on “ irrefragableness,” leav
ing his two competitors—Messrs. Ben
son and Weisiger—on the second tier.
Only four other scholars were now in
school besides the two last mentioned
—Messrs. Neely, LaTaste, Delph and
Coffin—who were on the third, or last
line of chairs, where a miss would send
either one out.
The contest now became close, and
many words were given out beforo any
one was tripped. At length Mr. Neely
retired on “Huguenot,” leaving five
scholars in school. Mr. Coffin then re
tired on “ Synonymous.” This left four
in school, who had some jawbreakers
to get over, but they held out
through a number of them. Mr.
Delph eventually retired on “ Mne
monics,” leaving Messrs. Benson, Wei
siger and LaTaste on the floor. The
latter retired on “ coruscate.” The
contest was now narrowed down to
only two scholars, Messrs. Benson and
Weisiger, and proved to be a lengthly
and close one. Eventually, Mr. M. J.
Verdery, of the Committee of Ar
rangements, stated to the audience
that as it seemed almost impossible for
either of the gentlemen to prove him
self victorious, he desired to know
whether the audience would consent to
have the two prizes awarded to the
gentlemen, aud let them settle it be
tween themselves, or would they have
them go on spelling. The audience then
voted almost unanimously that they
should proceed with the spelling until
one or the other was spelled down. At
last Mr. Weisiger failed on “ bole,”
(the trunk of a tree), when Mr. Benson
suggested that the Dictator, Mr. Pelot,
spell him down with the dictionary.
After a few words from Worcester ho
broke on “ bombazette.”
Mr. Verdery then announced that
the first prize—a ticket from Charles
ton to New York and return, with #lO
in gold—was won by Mr. Benson ; the
second prize—#2s in gold—by Mr.
Weisiger, aud the third prize—#15 in
gold—by Mr. LaTaste. The prizes were
presented to the successful contestants
by Maj. Geo. T. Barnes, and the au
dience, after applauding, dispersed, the
hour being about 12.

Barbecue at the Locks.
Yesterday morning the members j of
the Augusta Exchange and a few invited
guests assembled upon the bank of the
canal preparatory to making an e-vcLe
sion to' the Locks. The boat lfft
promptly at nine o’clock, and in due
hour and a half the party stepped
ashore at the Locks, none the wofse
for a pleasant journey.
The day was spent delightfully. Ev
erything that the most fastidious epi
cure could desire was provided in abun
dance. The faces of the veteran cot
ton merchants were devoid of the usual
business frown. All were free and
gave themselves up to the enjoyment
of the day. Mr. Estes kindly conduct
ed us over the new structures and
dams, and we regret that want
of time precludes us from giving
our readers the benefit of bis
explanations. The canal enterprise
is simply stupendous, aud when
completed will reflect everlasting crejit
upon all who have been in any way in
terested in the work. It will be the
wonder of this section of the country.
The stone work is vast and impregna
ble. The canal is the most uniformly
beautiful stream we have ever seen.
The engineers who are doing the woyk
now at the locks have proven them
selves “masters of the situation.” The
skill they have manifested in the struc
tures generally is beyond the reach of
criticism.
The barbecue was delightful, and
was only equalled by the one given by
the Exchange last Summer. We ate
enough to last us several days, ami
if we may credit our observation, many
others did the same. The arrange
ments of the day were superintended
by Capt. Daniel, and we hereby extend
to him our sincere thanks for the good
he did us. Moreover we suggest to his
estimable lady the propriety of putting
him in the kitchen for he does get up a
splendid dinner.
We thoroughly enjoyed the day and
will wait impatiently for next year,
when, we suppose, the Cotton Exchange
will honor us with an invitation to their
next barbecue. The journey home was
pleasant as could be.

Death of a Former Citizen of Augusta.
From the McDuffie Journal we learn
that Mr. Norman Cowles, a former
resident of Augusta, but for some years
past living at Thomson, Ga., died at
that place on Saturday, 15th inst., of
dropsy, aud was buried Suuday with
Masonic honors. Mr. Cowles was well
known to many of our older citizens.
He was a native of Connecticut, but
came South early in life, and had lived
in this section ever since. He was, we
believe, over sixty years of age at the
time of his death. He was highly re
spected at Thomson and also in this
city when he lived here. Ho leaves a
devoted wife to mourn his loss.

A Brain-Destroying Malady. —That
insomnia, or inability to sleep, has be
come very prevalent of late years, is
sufficiently evidenced by the fact that
numberless remedies have been intro
duced within the last decade specially
intended for its cure, and that new se
datives are continually cropping up.
But no medicinal agent has so widely
and clearly established its claims as a
genuine soporific as Hostetter’s Stom
ach Bitters. That it removes this brain
destroying inability far moro effect
ually than the bromides, chlorals
and valerianates in use, is not to bo
wondered at when we consider that
such drugs act only on the brain,
which is not the source of the evil,
while the Bitters rectify the alimentary
disturbances which originate it. It is
admitted by physicians that dyspepsia
and non-assimilation of the food pro
duce sleeplessness. The Bitters over
come these obstacles to repose as well
as those urinary troubles which are
also said to interfere with it. A wine
glassful or two of this wholesome se
dative invigorant at bed time rarely fails
to produce tranquil repose.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE AUGUS
TA MARKETS.
Constitutionalist Office, i
6 O’CLOCK P. M., May 21, 1875. j
General Remarks.
Trade has progressed during the week in
very much the same leisurely manner as
noted last week. Spring is pretty well ad
vanced, and we are now on the verge of
Summer, with good indications that dull
ness will continue to steadily pervade all
business circles, without rallying until we
find the approach of Autumn heralded. The
same cautious policy that has been such a
prominent featuro of trade during the last
year or two is still observed in all business
circles. This may eventuate in good in the
end, but in the opinion of many of the most
prominent men in mercantile life, there
can be no substantial restoration of that
confidence which existed previous to the
lime when that tidal wave of a financial
panioswept over the country; and It is. in
the words of a prominent firm, becoming
moro and more evident that a high degree
of commercial activity and prosperity will
not return to us until the plain laws of
trade are heeded, until the currency of the
country becomes tho equal in purchasing
power to gold, and prices adjusted accord
ingly.
Gold Is stid firm without any abatement
in tho premium though the Treasury has
put a considerable amount on tho market.
This is caused no doubt by the fact that
there has been lately a considerable How of
specie to Europe to meet the May interest
aud coupons of United States bonds falling
due.
in line of Produce and all staple articles,
the market has been fairly steady, with no
material changes to note in prices. Bacon
is easier to-day, while Grain is firm; almost
approaching activity, but stocks are light.
Flour is firmer witu somewhat stronger
prices. Factory Goods and Dry Goods
generally, arc steady aud without change.
Business in these lines has been moderate
ly fair for the season. But few planters
have been in town, owing to this being the
busy season with them at home, 'there
has been of late but little if any specula
tive feeling exhibited, the existing de
mand for staple articles being principally
of a consumptive character.
Business Depression in Europe.
Accounts from Berlin, Vienna and other
cities represent that business felill con
tinues to be very much depressed, lu some
branches of industry there is an improve
ment, but the great manufactories are still
very low, and the working classes suffer
from the consequences of this fact, as weli
as from the taruy arrival of Spring. Thus,
the large steel manufactory of Krupp, in
Essen, was obliged to dismiss some
thousand workmen, and the largest
manufactory of engines, that of Bor
sig, in Berlin, has met with a similar
fate. A week ago tho Largest Austrian
manufactory of engines, Sigl, announced
the dismissal of two thousand workmen,
because it had neither sufficient orders nor
sufficient workiug capital. This latter dan
ger has been happily surmounted by the
aid of tho government, on a petition back
ed by the Lower Austr an Landtag. That
the great manufactory might have work to
do, tho government caused some railway
companies, whose rolling stock is some
what defective, to give it extensive orders.
The Weather
during the week lias been clear and dry,
with cold nights during the first part, but
warm the last three days, with indications
of rain very soon.
Wo have obtained from Mr. Bessant,
the courteous Signal Observer in charge of
the Augusta office, the subjoined state

during the week closing to-day was rather

little has been done. The figures given be
low may be considered as the ruling quo
tations, though in many eases they are

Two more cases have recently been de
cided involving the liability of National
banks for the value of bonds deposited for
safe keeping without reward, and stolen
one by the Supreme Court of Vermont,
(Wiley vs. the First Natioual Batik of Brat
tteboro) arid the other by the Court of Ap
peals of New York (the First National
Bank of Lyons vs. the Ocean National
Bank). These were both suits for
them to recover the value of the
plaintiffs’ securities, which- had been
deposited in the defendant’s banks. In
both long and elaborate opinions were de
livered and judgments rendered for the de
fendants. In the Vermont case it was held
that the bank had no power, under tho na
tional banking act, to make a contract for
the safe keeping of valuables, and in the
New York case (approving the Vermont de
cision) the court hold that such a contract
was not within the scope of the authority
of the bank officials.
The Cotton Market-
The cotton market has been fairly steady
throughout the week, with but slight va
riation in prices of any of the grades.—
Sellers have been offering their stocks
very sparingly, while the demand has not
been satisfied, and in consequence prrees
have been rather firm. The receipts have
largely exceeded the sales, the excess of
sales (which were 1,046) being 751 bales.—
The shipments and home consumption
have lately more than doubled the re
ceipts, the excess over receipts this week
being 466 bales, leaving a stock on hand
this evening of 6,229 bales, about the small
est amount since the opening of the sea
son. We give below a synopsis of the
daily reports of the Augusta Exchange,
showing tho state of the market on each
day of the week;

The Course of Cotton.
[From the New York Bulletin, May 18 1
lhe lluctuations have not been quite so
sharp or extensive as last week; there has
been a more liberal movement of actual
cotton, anil at one time appearances were
very encouraging, while up lo the present
writing a number of operators assume to
feel much confidence. There lias not, how
ever, been a well established improvement
on values; the apparent indications of the
opening of a good healthy demand fail to
become fully verified. The supplies avail
able are ample, with receipts rather be
yond expectations, and a continued under
tone of doubt and caution is still very per
ceptible. Indeed, while influences of a
stimulating character are not without
their effect, the market responds much
mo e readily to anything of a depressing
nature, and tho “bull” interest is com
pelled from necessity to keep close aud
constant watch in order to introduce neu
tralizing features. There is no gainsay
ing the fact that for the past four or live
weeks the position has appeared to bo very
nearly in such shape as to prove attractive
to exporters, and indeed the two or three
drafts made upon the stock by this class of
operators were good supporting evidence.
The fitful nature of the demand, however,
and its subsidence with even greater
rapidity than its development, have proven
very discouraging, the more so that re
ceipts were keeping well up and preventing
any great failing away of the accumula
tion. In short, tho market still requires
tho support of a steady, healthy movement
of the supplies now available, and until
this really commences there appears no
chance of infusing confidence among toe
m iss of operators.
The sales of “spote” during several days
of tho past week were comparatively free
an I to buyers on both English and Conti
nental account, with just a iriiimg increase
for domestic consumptiod. Suddenly, how
ever, the demand subsided aud business
dropped back into the old dull and
stupid rut. Higher freight charges,
and an adverse market for exchange
was given as a partial reason for
the failing off of the call on foreign ac
count, but the private advices from abroad
rather indicated the necessity of caution,
and the advanced rates asked here in some
cases wiped out the very limited margin
on which exporters were operating On
the whole, however,, we do not think the
disposition of holders lias been quite so
much toward running away from bills as
heretoto.lo, aud though nothing in the way
of pressure to realize could be noted, or
any particularly free offering, buyers have
experienced no difficulty in obtaining ail
the cotton wanted.
The official quotations of the Exchange,
too, have remained unaltered, though at
times those were a trifle low as compared
with the general asking rales oil strict
grading.
For future delivery the market has been
more or Jess unsettled, but without so many
sharp or wide fluctuations as last week,
or the development of any very stirring
features. As before, attention has been
given principally t<> the months embrac
ing the balance of tho present cotton vear,
with the interest, if anything, somewhat
rod iced, as on tho two or tiiree upward
turns, which have taken place a great many
“shorts” coveted and did not a gain venture
in. The base of operations on the period
referred to is the stock on hand, with such
additions as may yet come in, and certain
manipulations have again seemed to indi
cate a desire to keep bona fide consuuiptii e
buyers—either domestic or foreign—
from getting possession; but the ag
gregate commences to be too great
to be easily controlled, and in the
fluence was depressing. An increased in
terest has been shown in the mouths cover
ing the new crop, and business proved fair,
with contracts extended into April, sales
for which were made at 16 17-32a16%e. A
portion of the demand was said to come
from the South, though a few operators
here, who have for some time considered
the Fall and Winter months as relatively
low, were among the purchasers. The de
sire to invest, however, is not very exten
sive or general, and, as a rule, the ad\ ices
from the planting sections continue quite
encouraging, especially in regard to wea
ther over the loading districts; and again,
many operators are anxious to see better
indications of the final result on the pres
ent crop.

worked and clear of weeds and grass. In
Texas, more rain would be of benefit.
Market in New York firmer. Next crop

The Meat Supply.
Cincinnati circulars, of May 14th, report
provisions dull and drooping, with little
changing bauds, concessions being neces
sary to *-ffoct sales, which holders are un
willing to accept. As money is easy, they
are holding for full prices. They are now
nearly ttity per cent, higher than they
were last season, and one of the re
sults has been a reduction of foreign ex
ports of nearly 100,600,000 pounds, and
consumers are only taking what their
wants require. Speculation has carried the
trade. Farmers made a good hit in selling
their hogs at the prices; and having done
so well they have taken hold of tho pro
duct. Many believe the supply of summer
hogs will be as great as, last year.
The following is the counted stock in Cin
cinnati on May 1, and at tho same time in

Corn and Meat.
[Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun, May 13 1
Speculation ha s kept these articles to a
much higher point than the luws of supply
and demand justify. Money is cheap, and
these cornerers can obtain it in abundance
at easy rates. Quotations are thus forced
to a fictitious valuation, not in accordance
with the legitimate demands of trade. The
possible rosult may be that these holders
may yet be caught. The South, at least,
is buying very sparingly. Oats will soon
be abundant; and the request for corn,
which has been very light this year, will
be lighter still. Meat is in the same cat
egory. Greatly less is being taken this
year than the last. Ocular demonstra
tion will convince any one of this fact.
We can tell it bv the wagons load
ing in front of the stores, and those
leaving the city. Their burdens are great
ly less than heretofore. The reason is
partly for the want of money and credit,
and more on account of the spirit of re
trenchment and economy that pervades
the country. Figures show the result. -
We take Columbus as an example. The
ratio of cotton receipts are about the same
as last year, in comparison with other
places, showing that the relative trade is
about the same as last year. The sworn
returns of gross sales, for the quarter end
ing April Ist, for our grocery merchants,
and the flouring and grist mills we have in
the city, amounted to $333,890, anil for the
same quarter in 1874, $403,390, a decline of
$09,500. The difference is even greater
than this, for meat and corn were cheaper
in 1874 than now; so a much less amount
has been sold than then. In corn and
meat is the differem e found, and
it means that much money lias been
saved. The demand grows less day bv
day, and argues well for the economy and
prudent forethought of the farmer. Far
more grain has been planted than 1874, and
oats wdl soon be ready to harvest.
All the indications point to low cotton
next Fail and Winter—hence it behooves
every one to i aise an abundance of provis
ions, that they may not be at the mercy of
the speculator. If our planters had been
dishonest all would now be rich. It is the
attempt to pay their debts, incurred under
a false system, which has made them poor,
depreciated values and impoverished the
South. Now they are on the right track,
and prosperity promises to again dawn
upon our land. The country is in a more
healthy condition than it has been for live
years.
