better prices and not be forced to sell
at loss. As it is while they own
property valuable enough to tax it Is
not valuable as a collateral. This is all
wrong, and the legislature could have
corrected it. But the body is dead and
there is no need Of singing psalms to
a dead horse or dead man either.
Rest in peace, and may your success

done.

We fail to know why it is that Vir-
ginis can do without an insurance
commissioner when the official is con-
sidered so valuable in other states Of
the Union. Insurance is Of immense
IMPORT to all the people Of the State and
all the safe guards possible should be
thrown about it. An honest aud COM
pstent commissioner would earn his
pay.

place and the proper persons Oe selected
to begin with. aud with these alone can
we hope for best results The Herald has
no suggestions on this line though IL
is given TO suggestions on public mat
tiers aud is not afraid to express them.
The proper man and the proper place
are here aud should meet Give the
venture fair trial and we will an
await the issue with quickening in-
terest Wehave a suggestion, however
on the general subject, and that is that
no patriotic citizen should buy too
freely OF imbibe too freely just TO Inc
crease the revenues Of town and dis
trict, but you must buy, buy in the
home market aud keep your money at
home. The buyer for the dispensary
should get none but the best, and the
man who hasn't experience enough to .
secure that, should have nothing TO
do with buying. Would that we could I
hope that the liquor from a dispensary /
wouldn't make drunk come but /
alas We fear it will be as full Of head I
and heart aches as the old bar-room- /
variety.
Man is a wonderful animal, and we
sometimes think the marvel Of Angels,
but in presence Of the liquor question,
he ought to stand with bowed head
and confess 10 signal failure.
The Herald repeats ITS oft-repeated
advice, let's all Christian aud moderate
drinkers stop drinking and so close the
doors Of dispensary, bar rooms, social
club and side boards in private homes.
II is the one and only solution Of the
vexed question. Judge Mann nor
no other man can improve on it. And
this is the best Of all days on which to
begin, Christmas day, the Christ day.

Byron's lctters-qulte nu~merous-not
covering many years of MS short life, for
he died at thirty-six-are of the highest
excellence, n neither the last two or
three years have been very much lauded
in England, after SO long a silence or
such an age Of depreciation. Two new
and elaborate editions of Byron's entire
works, including all OF his prose, have
been issued in England in some eight OF
ten volumes, each fully and carefully edit
ed. and the prose has made a decided I'M
preston upon the English mind. l have
seen praise of the highest kind bestowed
upon the letters and journal by writers
Of ability and reputation. In Moorcs Life
of Byron read u half century since by
me, there are many letters from the
great poet that are admirable specimens
of that kind OF writing. l have met with
nothing better in the letters OF Southey,
Cowpcr, Horace Walpole, or any OF the
more famous eplatolary writers N our
tongue. You must go 20 the Continent
of Europe, II you would ind anything
finer, richer, OF more consummate effects.
He must nave been indeed a very great
man to nave written so much IN verse
and prose, and to nave don 1t so we'll
with such mastery and with such super
lative richness and yividncss. In defam-
ing Byron as a poet, and denying him the
great qualities of a high genius, his per
scnal character has been assaIled with
intense sverity. 1t must be acknowledged
with candor that his life was sadly de-
bauched, and that he not only shortened
it by his vicious and prOtracted satur-
nalias of wickedness and dissipation,
but he undermined his poetlcal powers
also. So, at any rate, Tame thinks, and
points in evidence to the last part of his
greatest work, Don Juan But, how
ever degrading his life in Europe, 1t ls
not believed by Tom Moore, I1obhouse
and his other intimate friends, that he
was really a "bad-hcartcd man His
greatest contemporary genius, ST. Walter
Scott, described him AS beng a man OF
real goodness of heart, and the klndest
and best feelings, miserabIy thrown away
By his foolish contempt OF public opinion
Lockhart's Life Of Scott, volume VII.
323 pages. Sir Walter was SO noble, gra-
cicus, unselfish, without a tinge or talnt
os jealousy Of any rlVal, that we may well
trust his opinion of the author who prac-
tIcally at the time superseded HIM IN
holding the ear OF the world as a poet
when Byron began to send forth IN con-
tinual streams his marvellous poems.
Byron's own heart became tempestuous,
"a whirling gulf of phantasy and
flame to quote from himself. He was a
good Halter enough, he had great powers
OF sarcasm, he was master OF an eagle
scream of defiance, and produced the
