The official Russians were not, however, popular in Montenegro, the people possessing an unusual degree of independence, and the Russians attaching more importance to their aid and coöperation than the circumstances made it politic to show; and Jonine, who became minister-resident at Cettinje, was, perhaps, the most unpopular foreigner there, while Monson, who became English agent there, was, both with prince and public, the most popular.
Four hundred women were taxed, who have, no doubt, been the wives of the best Roman citizens. Men not born to action are inconsequential in government. Collectitious troops. The foot, by their violent attack, began the fatal break in the Pharsaliac field. He and his brother, with a politic, common to other countries, had taken opposite sides. His epithets are of the gaudy or hyperbolical kind.
He is very wise in his politic capacity as having a full share in the House and an implicit right to every man's reason, though he has none of his own, which makes him appear so simple out of it.
This pretended republic is founded in crimes, and exists by wrong and robbery; and wrong and robbery, far from a title to anything, is war with mankind.

"The hunting-field is not the council tent," he said. "The Pale-faces will go with us to our village." Of course Joe was too glad to agree to this proposal, but he now deemed it politic to display a little firmness. "We cannot go till our rifle is restored. It will not do to go back and tell the great chief of the Pale-faces that the Pawnees are thieves." The chief frowned angrily.
There is no need to make any addition to the name of Philip de Commynes, the most precious of the politic conquests made by Louis in the matter of eminent counsellors, to whom he remained as faithful as they were themselves faithful and useful to him.
Not so aut inveniam viam, aut faciam I will discover or contrive a remedy. The Cardinal Balue is politic and liberal this query shall to him, and it shall be his Eminence's own fault if the stars speak not as he would have them." He again took the despised guerdon, and weighed it in his hand.
