Francis Train, whose ;nfantle rhetorical exercita-
tons have already been noticed in this paper, and
whose sw It AID really superior loqusciey at English
dinners has been by Us commended, has published
book, in which be proves, although Websser's prose
was hardly readable, and Calhoun's less 90, and
Clays all prose, We have Jet an orator still in bis

Train has printed book, which, while it bears 81!
tie marks of childish lack Of concentration, contains
many things which como home to the b"om' Of
mothers, if not to the busress of fathers. His ap.
peal in favor Of infancy takes the parental citadel

to remember that q great many years ago they
were themselves yourg. His prediction IL natu'
