Editor NoThing Nelrs: Please allow us
to say to the public through your valuable
columns that the article under the CAPTION.
Savannah Not Inclined to Put I'd the
$4,000 Bonus in which il is stated that
there Is small chance Of raising the money.
That we have made no such intimation 10
the governor that we could not raise the
money. We simply prayed for an extern
sion OF time. We said nothing about the
IesSlVal Tor the school" Our letter to the
governor was dated May /, and was handed
TO him in person on that day while he was
here, and the concert or festival was on MAY
& We have not lost hope, as we have great
faith In the generosity of our citizens and
do not believe they will let this enterprise
fail, and thus entail everlasting shame upon
our city.
Owing to the stringency of the times, the
dull season and the demand upon our citi-
zens for the festivities of May week, our
collections have not been what we thought
they would, and we so stated to the gov
ernor. But we added that should our
PRAYER for an extension of time be granted
we believed we could raise every dollar we
had promised. We believe so still. There
must be some inconsiderate enemy writing
against this enterprise, as we are sure that
no such idea could have been drawn from
our letter to the governor. The honorable
commission having charge Of the matter
meets IN this city on Friday
next. We will then petition them
for an extension of time And we think
that from the showing we will make of our
progress. doubtless our PRAYER will be
granted; and the permanent location of the
college upon the site which we offered them,
and which they have accepted, will be a
certainty.
We take this occasion to earnestly appeal
to our citizens, white and black, to rally to
the support of this enterprise, aud thus save
the credit of Savannah.

A SAFE DuHLs

Brazilian Congressman Satisfy Honor
Without Any Danger.
A notable duel between two politicians is
reported in recent papers from Brazil. DIR.
Jose Hygino aud DR.. Asss Brazil, two mem~
bers of congress, quarreled. and Hyglno
sent Brazil challenge. The friends, hav-
ing met, decided that the difference could
only be appeased by mortal combat
The sword was the weapon chosen by the
seconds for this end. 1t transpired, how
ever, that neither Of the principals could
handle the weapon. Pistols were, there
fore, substituted. Hygino's hackers then
discovered that Brazil was deadly shot, so
they raised an objection to pistols. The
next proposal was that lots should be drawn
for a loaded and unloaded pistol; but the
Hygino party did not consider that this
would equalize matters, since if Hygino
drew the loaded pistol, it was a question
whether ne would hit Brazil; whereas if the
lot should favor Brazil. it was a moral GER
tainty that he would kill Hygino.
1t was next proposed that both parties
should fire over a handkerchief. This,
however. was found to be contrary to the
laws of the duello applicable to the class Of
insult in question. Finally, the inspiration
occurred to one of the hackers that by the
conduct of the negotiations up to this point,
each party had given incontrovertible
proofs of valor
Honor was accordingly declared to be
satisfied, and the incident satisfactorily
closed. This precedent ought to be of great
value to French duelists.

DR.. CLARKE,S FEAT.
HIS Ascent to the Top of the Spire of
Salisbury's Cathedral.

Salisbury's Cathedral.
From the Buffalo Commercial AdUer tiser.
During one Of the vacations DIR. James
Freeman Clarke, in his youthful days, per-
formed feat that we'll deserves to be re-
corded. When told his friends afterward,
it terrified them, and it is no commonplace
thing to read about now. Here is the ex-
traordinary tale as DR.. E. E. Hale, the edi,
tor of the Memoirs, sets it down:
1.-The spire of Salisbury cathedral is a
little more than 400 feet high. With some
friends Mr.. Clarke assembled as far as the
interior staircase goes to what is called the
weather door, about thirty feet from the
extreme top of the spire. The others were
then satified with what they had done, but
he went out and climbed up the remaining
part of the spire by iron handles fixed in
the walls, these having been arranged for
the convenience of workmen who have to
attend to the vane and of hardy visitors.
When he arrived at the highest of these he
found a bar above him running around the
spire, which ne could reach with his hands
By this he lifted himself to the level Of the
ball, and, as most versions of this auecdote
say, stood on top OF the ball, with such sup
port as the lightning rod could give him,
surveying the scene.
HE then returned to the supporting rod
and dropped himself, expecting to find the
friendly bolt by which he had assembled.
But it was not there. and he reflected. %
late, that he had not observed on which
side of the spire it was. Then and there he
had, so to speak, to work around the spire,
hanging by his hands, and having unfortu-
nately chosen the least favorable direction,
he nearly completed the circuit before be
found under his foot the bolt, which was to
be the first step in his retreat"
When DR.. Clarke told this story to his
classmates more than generation after the
event occurred ''old friends of his found
they could not sleep that night in their ter
ror for what might have happened" In his
letter to friends at home he merely said at
the time of the thrilling incident: 81 went
to the very top and stood by the vane, 400
feet above the ground"
