The constant cab, the ever-circling train.
"In the So-called Nineteenth Century."—When giving three Bishops a little touching up in Mr. Kkowles's Nineteenth Century, why does the playful Professor always write "à priori" instead of "a priori?" As no one would accuse Mr. Huxley of falling into a "clerical error," the explanation must be that he had nothing to do with it, or didn't know any better, or his printer would have it so, or the Printer's Devil possessed him, or Bathybius got loose and played the mischief with the type. Perhaps it is we who are wrong, if so, we ask has it anything to do with the new accent which is to be used in the pronunciation of Latin? A trifling matter—but for a Professor so "acute" such an accent may be considered a "grave" mistake.
THE GLADSTONE BAIT.
"As regards Home Rule for Ireland, I may say I am prepared to go as far as Mr. Gladstone's own words warrant," &c., &c.—Times, Nov. 9.
