T. We don't hear much of his orato-
ry at this time except ain occasional
temperance lecture before the Love-
land Lyceum, and he finally returns
to,Ro1ne to except some office al
derman,y we think-that had been
pressed upon him by his fellow citi-
zens. He was urged to embark in
the conspiracy of Cataline or Catali-
nabut he premptorilp refused in those
memorable Greek words; a.
s'Eataltnd, aair cum haraus.'
Step by step he rose through the
various grades of office-alderman
member of the school board fence
viewer, notary public, constable,
sealer of weights and measures,
street commissioner, .ect., ect., until
his head was turned with his sue
cesses and the flights Of his ambi
ton knew. no bounds, In the
meantime he had conducted numer-
Gus wars with the rural neighbor-
hoods to preserve his popularity in
his ward--he crossed the Rhine twice
to electioneer the Germans whip
ped the Gauls until, as he states in
one Of his commentaries, they wer-
emit worth a .gaul darn, and introdu-
ced Fenianism into Great Britain.
He had powerful rival in Rome
Jealous of his rapidly growing fame
a colored gentleman named Pom
pey, who endeayored to have him
removed and some less radical Gen
eral appointed in his place. Pom
pey at length got Caesar outlawed-
he couldn't out fight him, but he
could out laao him--and then it was
that Caesar marched upon Rome,
drinking furiously every day until
his nose had passed the Ru5i-

This has been looked upon by
some whose noses don't show it so
much as his did, as the great fault
of his life. Its not our province,
however to pronounce opinions,

Pompey.laged for many years, but

of hisgreat rival, probably because
he had missed the,pleasure of ''bus-

caused the body Of the great Pomp,

After destroying various other
enemies Caesar returned in triumph
to Rome where a grand sparring ex-
hibition was given for his benefit.
Honors and .adulation flowed in
upon him from that time. He was
elected honorary member ola Base
Ball Club, his signature was solici-
ted to subscription papers, men met
him on the streets and begged to-
hacco of him, he had a dead head
pass on the street cars, was impor-
tuned to sign the pledge, was presen-
ted with a gold headed cane, and
had a canal boat named after him
He was invited TO preside at ban
auets, and in Fourth of July pro-
cessions rode among the soldiers Of
the war of 1872. Twice. elected
Mayor of Rome, he aspired to be
come Treasurer of the country, and
that fixed him. A conspiracy was
formed against him, led by one Cas-
sius, ably assisted, as conspirators
usually are, by the victims bosom
friend, a perfect gentleman named

Caesar was warned in various ways
of the snares that were being laid
for him. = One night, after partaking
heartily of cold mince pie, just be-
fore going to bed,' he had bad
dreams. : His wife saw the new
moon oyer her left shoulder. Then
too, one ofthe attendants at his pal
ace, who had been ona a spree for a
week or two, imagined that he saw
serpents in the air-and in his boots
and heard ghosts !. shrieking and
squealing in the streets of Rome.
But these things, however much,
they might scare the attendant, his
wife and the cold mince pie. could
not by any manner of means fright.
en- Caesar. AND, so he. went about
among the coffee houses 'electioneer-
ing as usual. One morning-it was.
.theides of March-as Caesar was
standing in the rotunda of the. new
Court House, the conspirators sud
denly, set upon him with corn cut
ters and cooked his, royal goose.
He was about to fall, but suddenly.
recollecting that scene would be in.@
complete without his toga-it was. a
,sard-toya that he used to wear at
the Springs-he sent an attendant
for it, and when it arrived he wrap
ped it around him as. he had, seen
Forrest do when playing the chalaey

floor, where their wasn't any ]tobacA
