explanation OF the notion that an advance

the fact that formerly no charge has been

their bills have been increased accordingly.

THE DAYS REVIEW.

The Barre Times recently promoted this
statement:
"The vergennes Enterprise essays to give
a few figures on the Senatorial question,
without prejudice and then sets down 30
for Prouty, saying that Prouty himself
without prejudice will the esteemed En-.
terprise say whore Prouty is going to get 80
vot or half that number"
To the above the Enterprise reples
mo, respected contemporary, we will not
say. We have seen the tables and know
exactly where they are. They are not
guesses or perhapses, but pc sonal pledges.
The trouble is, they are, in the great major
ity OF cases, men who are confidently claimed
by General Grout or Mr.. Dillingham;. 1t
would not do TO tell where they are-at this
stage of the game. Furthermore, let us az
sure the respected Times-also without
prejudice, that Mr.. Prouty has nearly twice
80 votes pledged to him on second choices.
There are things, Brother Howe, that don t
get into tables"
Correct. AS a rule, tables only serve to
show the ignoran o OF their constructor, and
to give the other fellows valuable points.

her large fortune literally I'm the service Of her
husband and the slightest acquaintance with
Cicero's character must suggest to the reader
that he was probably troublesome to her as
she was to him. Certainly his separation from
her and his immediate remarrage to a rich
young ward of his own was scandalous enough,
especially considering that he was in his siXteth
year when he took these steps While Mr.
Shuckburgh confesses that Cicero's excuse was
lame" and that the enterprise was not
dfgnifed spectacle or one pleasing to gods ana
men" we think he might justly have dWelt
at greater length upon the episode as illustrative
of serious weakness of character. In the man,
however, we rejoice in his humane and sympa-
thetic Interpretation of Cicero. who had, side by
side with some dubious traits, others that were
manly if not actually noble and who was.
when all is said the kind OF man to appeal in a
very beguiling manner to any one capable OF
taking a broad view of mankind
One point highly Creditable to Cicero is
brought out by the contrast between him and
his best beloved correspondent Atticus was an
Epicurean, a lover of books, of refined talk. OF
all things cultured and beautiful. He was Just
such man as Cicero was himself-but there

of the known world, was in the throes of it's
change from the old order to the new" This
obviously commends him to the historical stu
dent. But believe Mr.. Shuckburgh himself
has in mind his reader less the scholar than
the lover Of letters, who reads Cicero for
the pleasure it gives him. He shows this by
his introductions and notes, which are never
pedantc, and by the easy, idiomatic English
style which he offers equivalent for the
Latin. The letters for the first time
given complete in English in convenient octave
form. No more delightful translation of a clas-
sic has appeared in recent times.
The translator, in his preface, observes that
he anticipates criticisms, but he adds: mo
critic can take from me the days and nights
spent in close communion with ROme's greatest
intellect" and he shows throughout his intro
auctions and notes that, like every other scholar
who has saturated himself in the correspond
ence of Cicero, he is prepared to take a more
enient view of the than is held by read
ers who have glanced only at the salient points
in the of the latter, placing some of
those inevitably in a wrong perspective. The
great of Mommsen has been cOnspicu-
ously associated with destructive criticism of
Cicero's character, and has been invoked many
times as authority for hypothesis that leaves
the famous Roman not in the least lovable.
There have been persuasive dissenters from
this school, however, notably NJ. BOiSSier, and
we ere glad to find Mr.. Shuckburgh among
them. He is the more convincing in that he
attempts thick and thin defence of his hero,
but simply takes pains study him in the
light of his own time, and to consider him not
some coldly classic figure in the gallery of
the remote past, but as above all things an
intensely human creature. If he errs at all on
the side of generosity, it is in his treatment of
Cicero's marital relations. Terentia may not
have been the most congenial spouse in the
world, but, as MIR. Shuckburgh notes, she used
