[Goettingen Letter to the Chicago Times.l
The mensur is place where pugnacious
German students fight duels. 1t is the field
of honor The duelists of Goettingen have
located their field of honor in an old build
ing about two English miles south of this
city. They are not fond of having outsiders
witness their fights; but DIR. Koiner, from the
University of Virginia-tArough his ac-
quaintance with several ''corps-students,"
gained admittance for both himself and
the writer. Although we walked out
to the mensur before daylight, few
were before US, others arrived soon
after; coming only to two or three at time,
so as not to attract the attention of the
pedells. The pedells are the police of the uni
versity. Before the fighting commenced,
four or five senlinels were stationed between
the nsenssw and the city, to signal the APP
proach OF any officer, or other suspicious
looking person. Should the officials 60 to
the mens,lr their approach would be known
no little time before their arrival; they
would find as orderly place as they ever
visited; they could see nothing there but
harmony and brotherly love. The author
tiles, however, take little notice of these
duels. The students fight two or three days
each week, and near the close of the semester,
when many quarrels are to be settled before
parting, they fight every day; yet it
is rare thing for pedeH to visit n,ens,r,
and still rarer thing for him to catch any

Ex-President Grant sat by the side of Sem
the senate debates upon Kellogg's case to-
day. He came in with his light, black over.
coat buttoned at its center button, and sat
down as if he never expected to move again.
He held in his right hand a huge, gold head
ed cane. He sat through Bayard's arraign-
ment of his administration policy toward
the south without scarcely moving his head.
1t was hard to understand how Grant could
maintain a perfectly motionless position so
long. The galleries were packed with visi-
tors, and. nearly all riyeted their attention
upon him to watch the effect of Bayard's
talk. Perfectly grim and stolid, Grant never
moved muscle or at any one time appeared
conscious of being the objective point of
hundreds of curious eyes. 4.

SAVAGE sLAsHING.
How Two Darkfes Carved Each Other m
Nashville.
Nashville Americana

A bit of human butchery took place on the
steamer A. ]. White yesterday, wherein two
negroes carved away on each other with
savage ferocity. Alick Taylor, negro roust-
about, about 40 years of age, staggered up
to the deck passengers bar, and in a maud
lin, drunken way commenced abusing ne
gro girl, Sophia Smith, who was standing by
the bar. The girl (who is 10 years of age)
made some angry reioinder, when Taylor
drew his knife and went theoretically to work
on the girls frame He slashed her thighs,
laid bare her shoulder babe and gashed
her hips Surfeited with the irvigorating
exercise, he dropped his butcher knife An
unfortunate act it was for him, for the girl
grasped the weapon, reeking with her own
blood, sprang upon her assailant with the
ferocity of a tigress, and buried the blade
between the bloody Alexander's ribs
Drawing out the blade she sheathed it in his
shoulder and gashed it about in triangles
and arcs. When she was pulled off Taylor
was all but cut into steaks Both parties
were arrested and taken to the city hospital.
The mans case is deemed very serious.
