THE PREMIER'S WINNING CARD.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.")

STR,—Flectere ai nequeo Superos, Acheroula movebo (Aen., VII., 312). Give poor old Dido her due. She wasn't as bad as that. In all her misery she showed no sign of Teutonic tendencies. Moving " Acheron " appears' to be the last resort of "All Highests " in difficulties. The wife of the then "All Highest" was at it in the nine hundreds B.C. Let her be credited with it. The "All Highest" is at it now. Result, as before, no doubt. —I am, Sir, &c., A Raines.

[We apologize to Dido most heartily.—En. Spectator.]
