Interesting Volume
presented to Yale
College Library.
"a newspaper 542 years old.

Mr.. James Terry Of New Haven
has presented to Librarian Van
Name of Yale Univernty to-day
one of the most valuable volume,
that have ever been added to the
Yale Library. The book in ques-
ton is a bound volume of the old
English newspaper '.Mercurius Po-
liticus', weekly publication. The
vslume contains copy Of the paper
for each week beginning Thursday,
March 20, 1858, until the issue Of
March 8, 1859. 1t is the only copy
OF the paper in the world, and will
complete the set which is nsv in the
Yale Library.
On the first page of the book is
the beginning of an address to DIV
or Cromwell, and under the date Of
september 8, l600, occurs notice
of the death of CromEell. The first
seven or eight lines of the notice are

Admirable disposal an efficient wars
hip capable Of ascending the Pei He
River as far as Tien .Tsin.
Rear-Admiral KemptTs flagship,
the Newark, drawing 23 feet Of
water, cannot ascend the river safely
beyond the Tsku forts, but the little
Helena, drawing cnly IL feet can
safely ascend to Tien-T -Tsin, forty
miles above. She was specially de.
signed for service in Chinese rivers,
and is likely to prove much more
effective than any other of the foreign
warships which can pass the Taku
forts and reach Tien.Tsin. She
carries battery particularly adapted
for dealing with such half.srgAnized
msbs as the "Boxers." Besides her
S.4-inch rapid-fire guns, she has
four 6-pound rapid frers, foAr
1-pOund rapid hrsrs, two Colts and
~
one 3-ineh rapid-tire field gun. She
il commanded by Commander Swim
burne, and her complement is ten
officers and 166 men. In view OF
the service ahead OF her it iS expee-
ted that Aear-Admiral Remey will
add 10 the Greco one or two COM
panies Of marines.
1t is gathered from Rear-Admiral
Kempf's advice that the 'EBOxsrs''
are about to attack Tien-Tsin so
that the Helena will be a particularly
welcome addition to the foreign feet
IN that part OF Cnlna.

Republican Convent
ion at Philadelphia.
VIII meet next week.

The National Convention of the
Republican Party of the United
States will meet on Monday at Con-
ventiOn Hall in Philadelphia, or
rather just outside of it.
The importance of these great
party conventions every four years
can hardly be overrated. They are
made up of representative delegates
from every Congressional District
In the Union, and the candidates
selected by them are those between
whom the people OF the country
must choose in casting their votes
for President and Vice President of
the United States. Surely theirs is
a great responsibility.
The significance of the coming
Republican Convention can be seen
by the tact that the candidates nom.
mated by that party for the Presid-
ency have been successful in every
election but two, since the outbreak
Ofthe war between the States, almost
forty years ago.
In days gone by these great con-
ventionS have sometimes been the
scenes of heated and desperate cont.
ests for victory. In some cases .
famous and prominent man, long
recognized as the head of his party,
and ambitions for higher honers
would meet with such bitter and
savage opposition from the combined
elements agains him that finally .
compromise became necessary, and
. man less known, and less able, but
1Oho had not aroused such marked
antagonisms, would be chosen as the
party standard bearer.
Two noted instances of this were
the cases of Henry Clay in the De
mocratic Party and James G. Blaine
in the Republican party, although
at different periods. Each in his
time was the acknowledged leader
Ofhis party, head and shoulders above
all rivals; each tried in vain for
years to attain the Presidency, be-
cause although they could crush any
single competitor the combined
strength of all their enemies was
sufficient to prevent their success.
There will be no such stirring sce-
mes in the convention which will
meet on monday in the ssCity Of
Brotherly Love- President Me.
Kinley will be nominated, probably
by acslaination, and after little
mild excitement over the construc-
tiOn of the platform aud the nomin-
alton Of Vice Presidential candid
ate, the delegates will shake hands
with each other and go home tc
work for the ticket.

Sir Arthur Sullivan.

SAA <AA Ia" oulAfoNs
OF the late Sir Arthur Sullivan
many anecdotes are tol d. Writing in
the Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post, Walter Browne, who, as a singer
III one Of the Gilbert Sullivan opera
companies, was constantly thrown
with the composer, gives few rem
iniscences which are of interest. His
first meeting with Sullivan was under
trying circumstances. In 1881, Mr..
Browne was engaged to sing Colonel
Cavcrley in patience" He writes:
81 had been told to go to Mr.. D'Oyly
Carte's office to meet Mr.. Sulli-
van and have him try my voice. On
my arrival, twenty minutes before
time, 1 was ushered into an elegantly
furnished room. Mr.. Carte was not
there, but seated at piano, humming
a plaintive melody, was man a little
older than myself, plump, rosy
checked fellow, with black hair, side
whiskers and mustache and dark
brown eyes twinkling with kindness
and good nature. He stopped singing
when l entered and asked me if 1
wanted to see Mr.. Carte.
"'I have come to sing to Mr.. Sulli-
van,' 1 replied little proudly.
'Reallyv he said, clevating his
bushy eyebrows. We'll, I hope, for
your own sake, that you are in good
voice. And he turned again to the
piano with pleasant little laugh.
Sudden fear of failure made my
heart sink. Have you ever sung before
him? l asked n little huskily, for the
thought Of the ordeal before me al
ready gave me a tickling sensation in
my throat, and was mentally resolv-
ing to make an excuse and an ap-
pointment for the following day.
"'Oh! yes. He's heard me sing
chuckled the provoking young man at
the piano, humping out an amazing
sequence of chords. Then he suddenly
wheeled around and said abruptly:
"'Look here, young man. Take my
advice. Sing song or two now to
get your voice into trim and see what
sort Of form you are in. Got any
music? I'll play your accompani-
ments for you. Come along.
"Taking the roll from my hand he
selected Pinsuti's 'Bedouin Love Song
and Arditis 'Stirrup Cup 1 felt no
nervousness while singing to this
stranger, only little annoyance that
he 'vamped' or CLOSED over the diff
cult part of the accompaniment to the
first song. probably never sang
better in my life. But felt like an
awful fool when, Immediately on the
termination of my second song, Mr..
Carte stalked into the room saying:
"'Hello, Sullivan 'Fraid Pm a
little late. This is Mr.. Browne, the
young man 1 wanted you to hear.
What do you think Of him?'
"'Hes all right, Carte said the
composer, laughing; and, rising from
the piano, he extended his little fat
hand to me. I'm glad to meet you,
Mr.. Browne, he continued. You
have q nice voice, but you must let me
show you how to make the break
half a note higher. l think you will
find 1t to your advantage"

Kossuth and Kruger.

The New York Evening Post, dis
cussing the question Of President Kru-
gers reception in the United States,
in case he decided to visit us, recalls
the reception accorded to Kossuth
fifty years ago. The Hungarian patri-
OF was officially welcomed in Wash
ington, and was lionized everywhere
by the people. "Times have changed
since Kossuth's day." says the Post,
"and our administration journals COM
ment on the enthusiastic reception Of
Kruger at Marseilles with marked re-
straint We have contracted some EN-
tangling alliances which would make
it highly inexpedient for the admins
tration to extend any courtesies to this
fugitive, and his appearance in the
halls of Congress would be very en-
barrassing. Being at present engaged
in forcing our own sovereignty on an
unwilling people, we need to be very
guarded in expressing sympathy with
those who are resisting similar pro-
ceedings, even in the name Of repub-
lican government"
The ovation rendered to Kossuth
had its origin in the popular admira-
tion for his efforts to establish an in
dependent nation in Hungary. These
efforts failed, but the American peo-
pie honored the man for his gallant
struggle for liberty and independent
nationality. Paul Kruger has just
emerged from a war waged by his
people in defence of two Independent
republics which they had established
and built up by their own efforts. To
destroy these republics and to seize
the territory and possessions over
which they exercised sway was the
purpose of the British government.
Yet the American nation, which hon.
ored Louis Kossuth for his heroic en-
deavors to- set up republic in Europe
has no word of encourag cement for the
brave Dutch leader who defended his

Sir Thomas Mere,s Fidelity.

Thomas More was Lord High Chan
ce]lor of England in the reign of King
Henry VIII. He was fcrvent Catho.
lie, aud, although Jealous in the service
of his king. was still more so in the
service of God.
When Henry rcbcllcd against the
Church, lie put into prison. and some
times even condemned to Death, those
who would not acknowledge him to be
the head of the Church in England.
When he Informed Sir Thomas More OF
this law which he had made, requiring
his subjects to submit to his authority
i'll spiritual things, Sir Thomas at once
replied that he, for one, would never
obey it, "bccausc," he said, "it is
against the law Of God"
The king was very much grieved at
Thomas refusal, not only because he
himself had great esteem for him, but
also because lie knew the influence his
example would have over others. SO
he tried, first by promises and then by
threats, to make him submit But It
was all in vain for the faithful servant
of the King of heaven firmly declared
that he would sooner die than neglect
his duty to God. This answer put the
king into n great passion and he or
dcrcd him to be Immediately cast into
prison. "You shall scc," he said, chat
l am your master and that you must do
what wish"
You have, indeed, power over my
life, and over everything have that
passes away with lfe" replied the in
trepid Thomas; "but more than that
you have no power over"
The king condemned him to death
but wishing to give him yet an oppor-
tnnity of saving his life, he went to
Margaret, his wife, and persuaded her
to go to her husband and try and in
fucnce him by those cndearlng motives
which have most effect upon the hu-
man heart.

"And how long, my dear wife," he
answered, chow long do you think

"For at least twenty years." she

will never consent to disobcy my God
in that way; have promised Him over
and over again that l would serve
Him faithfully all my days, and love
Him with my whole heart, and by His

Sir Thomas More died on the scaf-
| fold on the sixth day of July, 1875.
