Columbus | Detano, Secretary of the L rtment ot the Interior, presided, with Senator Windom and Mr. A. R. Spofford, Librarian of Congress, as referees. After liminary remarks by Mr. F. H. Smith, P nt the ¥. M.C. A. and Seeretary Delano, who read the rulex, e — introduced Second Auditor E. B. rench as pedagogue. The rules provided that the standard au- thorities for spelling should be Webster and Worcester; that the speller should have the right to ask for the definition of a word; that all questions should be decided by the rete- rees, that the words selected for th» contests should exclude, so far as possible, all wor ofa technical, medical, or purely scientific character; also geographical and prop=r rames, and should be contined to worts in use in general reading, writing and speili ig.

Altogether the evening was passed very pleasantly and very profitably. WHY SPEAKER RLAINE DID NOT PRESIDE. Since writing the above we learn that Speaker Blaine, who was announcel to ap- pear, authorized the use of bis name in eon- nection with the above matches, and took an active interest in thearrangements for them, but he was unexpectedly called away from the eity. — EASTER FESTIVAL OF THE Currcn or THE INCARNATION.— Willard Hall was thronged last night with agreeable le, including many persons and officials of minence. mong those present were jose Meguel de Paz, Mrs. Judge Swayne, Mrs. Admiral Powell, Miss Wilkes, dangh- ter of Admiral Wilkes, who also assisted at the tables, and Major Montgomery, who has been particularly active and efficient in making this festival for the benefit of the Church of the Incarnation a great suceess. Gen. Babcock kindly furnished a stock of beautiful flowers, and Mr. Cammack, the florist, contributed his tasteful services in arranging them in attractive Soqueta.- The Marine Band was there, and furnished masic so inspiriting as to be sadly tempting to the young feet to utilize it in the way of dancing. he tables, presided over by the charming ladies of Incarnation Chureh, were supplied with a wonderful array of articles of use and beauty, specimens of the taste and industry of the ladies of that parish, who are so active in all good works. The refreshment tables, &c.. Were also bounteously filled; and the charming caterers were kept busy supplying Altogether a hand- some sum must have been realized last night for the deserving object ta view, and abt the receipts to-day and to-night will yet larger. o A WASHINGTONIAN KILLED ON T) & ©.
