Little Cla: CICERO, Cicoro was one of the big guns of Rome, or, us one very tacit historian has put it, | “Cie. was a cleaner.” Some Latinists inform us that his na pronounced Aickero. | cannot how any man in his right mind would allow himself to be so pronounced, and I imagine that that was a nick name n him by the party in power when he joined with the mnugwumps and ke against Cesar. The same gang of lingu insist on calling Cesar A‘ but this is becoming rather too philologi and phi- lology is rather too rich for my ble ras I can learn, Cicero onl or three parents, and, it is said he a youth of rare parts.” Whether we are to in- fer from this, that he was only half-baked, I cannot divine. I don’t take much to di- vinity, anyhow, save by way of an occasional invocation of the gods. T have read a number of Cicero’s letters, and he seems to have been a very busy man by the way he slings in abbreviations, such as ) RS. TP. BL VB. ‘s T. 1860 X." Such devotion to du} ina public man is truly admirable. When I say devotion to duty, I give him the benefit of the doubt—he may have been attending the cireus or sitting around a jack-pot the rest of the time, for all I know, I assume, how- ever, that he was on the gui vire pro bono publico whenever he could be, and that it was for this reason he took go many reefs in his letters to his friends. Speaking of circuses reminds me that it was circus day a good part of the time in tome. It must have been a picnic for the small boys and the candy butel The seats and canvas of that Roman circus were made of stone. It must have made things j fly in gr interesting if the tent blew down as often as | the Roman cus tents do in these days, «d combinations then, now man.” Whether was born again or made not state, ustom of publishing Congressional :., does not seem to have been popular in Cicero’s time, but yet he got his work in in good shape; and as near as 1 can learn, he had the best part of it published. Such'plack in a public man, right in the face of opposition, was truly admirable. I have spoken before of Cicero's letters, and the thought just came to me that these may have been pre served by the opposite party, and porta on the eve of an el tion, as such thin; e been done within our own memory. One of the big feathers in Ci pwas squelching the Catalinian conspiracy. He gotonto Cat’s whole racket, and made the fur | shape.
