Dr. Mell—**As many as you may ask, Mr. Harris then asked, whether the University property which waa offered for site, etc., could be considered free from incumbrance, in the language of the art regulating the tender of property? Dr. Mell.—“You are a lawyer, sir, and must answer tbpt yourself. The Chan cellor could not be expected to enter tain legal questions.”’ .Mr. Harris—“I did not ask this to puz zle you, doctor; but simply to settle the matter in my mind.” / Dr. Mell—“0, certainly. I will get some lawyer among the Board of Trus tees to answer this question.” Mr. Harris—*,It has been held in the Legislature when we asked for appropri ations for this college, that the State had qualified interest in the property i givenwy any city to this Tech- 1 School must be in the name of the Trustees of the University of Geor- uia. Any property donated will stand itr the same relation to the State as the Uni versity property now. No money by law could have been appropriated for a Technologic.il School except to the Trus tees of the l niversity.

The Day of Atonement is the holiest of days. It is founded upon two prom ises; the weakness and the power of man.; upon sinfulness to which every man, in the course of the year, becomes more or less subject; and upon his god like higher nature, by means of whioh he is enabled to arrive at the consciousness of his shortcomings and, through own strength, elevate, purify and free himself from all sins. But, extraordifi?.- ry means are required for this purpose; ’ abstinence from all worldy occupations and physical enjoyments, on one hand, and on the other, increased devotional exercises and profoundly fervent prayer are the means leading to that sacred ob- ject. m Whoever confesses on this Hay nw sins before God, with a sorrowful heart, and promises amendment,' and yields all comfortable front idNjr unfurnls«U|.-^- ^ Apply t® ' „ Pride of Denver, Pride J.
