THE AUTHOR OF "sPARTAcus. ]"
Composed by Elijah Kellogg When a Stu
 dent at Andover.


 Talking with a correspondent of the Boston Herald Rev Elijah Kellogg, of HarpsweIl, Me, thus described how he wrote that favorite Reclamation of school boys: ''Spartacus to the Gladia- tors:
 Ut was while I was at Andover, said he, smiling as the remembrance of the event came back to hIm- I've were required to prepare speeches for our rhetorical exercises, and after each man had spoken he was subjected to criticisms by his fellows-and their comments weren't always so compli- mentary as they were pointed. Then the professor would follow with seri- ous criticism, and he always found faults that needed correcting.
 'sSo these speeches came to be looked upon with dread, and at last made up my mind that I'd try to get something so different from anything we had had and so interesting that it would hold their attention too closely for them to think about points on which to criti- else me, and so would get off free.

 Gentlemen said the professor, i've are not here for theological dis quisitions nor for learned arguments, but these exercises are purely rhetor- ical, and, gentlemen, that is rhetoric
 ''Then, turning to me, he remarked; q could criticise you, Kellogg, but don't know whether it would do you more good or harm, and so, on the whole, think will say nothing
 ''So," added the old gentleman, with a chucl1le, ''I escaped criticism.

Jananese Lacaner.

A f1rst-class piece of Japanese lac quer-work can scarcely be scratched with a needle. It requires almost the lifetime of a native artist to bring it to perfection. Hundreds of coats of thin lacquer are laid on at consider able intervals of time, and the value consists not in the choiceness of the material, but in the amount of labor spent.

DE PAUW UNIVERSITY AFFAIRS.
A Mortgage Held Against the DePauw
Plate Glass Company.

News from Anderson to the effect that
the failure of the glass works controlled
by the DePauws would probably embarrass
the DePauw University yesterday created
considerable comment among those inter-
ested in the college. 1t was stated that
transcripts brought from the Floyd Circuit
Court showed a judgment received by
the DePauw University for $1OS90.S2, and
also judgment for John w. Ray, treas
urer of the university. for a7,3i5.99. Wilson
Morrow. of this city, secretary OF the
board of trustees. stated that these tudg-
ments were against the DePauw Plate
Glass Company and the w. C DePauw
ever, that the affairs Of the university were
in such shape as the reports from Ander-
son would imply. He says that the trus-
tees of the university, with other creditors,
have a mortgage jointly TO secure the
notes for SO S9O.S2. He was OF the opinion
that the mortgage should be foreclosed.
John W. Ray, treasurer Of the company,
questioned the advisability of closing the
mortgage. He holds that Mr.. DePauw has
done much for the college, and should not
be embarrassed by the institution. He is
confident that DePauw College will get
every cent that is due
President John says the only note against
the DePauw Plate Glass Company held by
the university is one for $4,000, and that is
secured by mortgage.

DUE TO MIR. THOMPSON.
Benham's Actions at Rio Taken at
the Instance of Our Minister.


@ WASHINGTON, Feb. PIN view Of the
Of Mr.. Moneys resolution commencing the
conduct Of Admiral Benham in opening the
harbor at Rio to American commerce at
the risk of warlike encounter with the
insurgent fleet, it may not be amiss to call
attention to the fact that the United States
minister to Brazil Mr.. Thompson, is en-
titled to share in the commendation that
has been showered on the naval officer for
there is the best authority for the state
ment that the minister was largely instru-
mental in opening the harbor. AS long ago
the time when Captain Picking was in
command of the United States naval forces
in Rio harbor, Mr.. Thompson took the po-
sition that American merchant ships should
be permitted to reach the wharves without
danger. The naval commander held that
the merchant ships had no right to get in
the line of fire. ON this general proposition
the minister agreed with him, but he diff
fered with Captain Picking as to what 1.-THE
line of fire" was. on the definition Of this
term depended the question whether or not
the merchantmen could safely proceed 10
the wharves. The captain held that the
line of fire was the line between any fort
or vessel and the point or attack The min
lister declared that it meant the line be-
tween a permanent fertilization station
airy position and the point of attack. and
cruising around the harbor and firing in
discriminatory could not be regarded as es-
tablishing the ''line of fire. as known to in
ternational law. On this proposition the
minister and the naval commander fell
apart, and il may be recalled that signs of
this difference were plainly apparent in the
strained relations between them. When Adj
miral Benham came upon the scene and as
spmed command of the American war YES
sNis, Minister Thompson renewed his propo-
sition and succeeded in bringing the Ad-
miral to his point of view, which was fol-
lowed by the sturdy stand taken by him in
conveying the American merchantmen TO
the wharves. under the guns of the insur-
gent shipS
