Life of the Czar of Russia. 5 VPIia fnTfowmff jhrfaf skoteh of tJia Ozar

ork detect-

Iife is .talrn .from Chamber&JSncyofa pcaia. s ? j i : Alexander I, Emperor of Russia, was born" Apnf 29 1818. He was carefully eitucated by Ins father, Nicholas, who professed himself delighted "with the manifestations of, true Romatt' spirit ill 'hii son. 'fAt sixteen ho" was declared of age, and made Commandant of the Lancers of the Gnard Hetman of the Cossacks First Ai3-Vle-CamfS of the Emperor, and subject daily to a life of manenveriuff,rdeviugandmilitarT parade.

-which at last seriously injured his health.

.He then traveled through Germany to recruit his energies, and while there concluded a marriage with the Princess Maria, daughter of the Grand Duke of Darmstadt in 1841. He now vigorously applied himself to his studies as Chancellor of the "University ojf? Fiajand. By his dexterous and subfile inanners he insinuated himself into the affections of the Fifibs, aifd weakened tfieir love of independence; He foundeoj a chair of the Finnish language and literature, patronized the Academy for the culture of "Finnish Hterture and defrayed the expenses of numerous remote expeditions undertaken by the savants, such as Cygjnoeus, Wallin and Castren. In 1850 .has visited Southern Russia Nickolaieff,

Sebastopol, Tiflis, .Eriroh, &ct It is

tude wpich ;lus father assumed towafd Europe, and that he altogether disapproved of the Crimean War. On his accession to the throne, March 2. 1855,;

he found himself in a critical position. He had 'two parties to conciliate at shomeNthe ohi Muscovite party, blindly

ealoTjsif or war, and the more peacea-

'ble and intelligent portion of the Nation, who possessed his personal sympathies. Jlej pursued a course calculated to encourage both; spoke of adhering to the policy of his illustrious ancestors, and at the same time concluded peace. Since then he has shown a strong desire to purge the internal administration of its impurities He has sharply rebuked the

corruption oi iunctionanes, ana severely punishedjsome as a warning to the rest. An honorable recognition has been given to public instruction, which he has freed from military influence where that absurdity existedj as in the law schools of St. Petersburg, and has placed it under his own direct and personal superintendence. His moderation has even stimulated the hopes of the Poles. By a ukase of May 27, 1856, he has granted to all Polish exiles who are willing to express repentance for the past, permission to return home; but, though desirous of preserving the nationality of Poland, he will not separate it from the Great Russian Family. The grand achievement of his reign, however, as yet is the emanci-

f pfttion of the Russian serfs in 1861, and

ot tho Polish serfs in 1867. An atteu.pt was made to assassinate him at Palis, Juno f, 1867, when on a visit to Napoleon IIL

r'f&tmar -man named: Coleman, but ho

proved not to be the person wanted for participation in th' daring plot" It is positively asserted -that the. genuine Coleman' came over on the Australia and was, taken away by frienda.

' - The City Court of -New Orleans has declared nncon-titutidnai the ordinance providing that fU drummers" who" transact any business in that city shall pay a heavy license tax. A post-morteni examination held on the body of Hattie Denell, the insane Iowa' City faster, showed that there was not a single drop of tlood in her body, and that her utomach was entirely void 6f- substance; Tho body -weighed f orty-fivo pounds.

Senator David Davis has written a letter to . John Marthvof Kansas, in. which he charges that both Itopuhlxan and Democratic Senators are not freOiagentH, but are controlled by. monopolies. Ho-ways there ought to bo:a rorgan-

t ization of parties. The rirHt step toward that

reorganization he thinks should be tho disbandment ol the Democratic party. ' Ho think tlic Republican party would then become dis organized and demoralized.

Tbe Art of Being a Bore. The other night at the opera ball I met one of onr comediennes, who is generally recognized as among the most -amiable in her profession, and especially fond of gayety. - "'Well, you have plenty of fun I observed. 11 Oh, so, so ! the men, and especially the young men, are 3uch bores.' "In a single word the fair speaker had unconsciously defined the constitutional malady of this French people, which passes for the wittiest nation in the world, and is so in fact: but which occa

sionally expends avast amount of witioir

tne purpose or appearing to Dewiness. I may seem to be uttering a paradox, a ludicrous contradiction, but the fact I speak of is simply,he exaggerated result of our instinctive? horror of all that is cold, sad and serious.. " So great is our horror of erinui that we defy it,' for the same reason that savages worship what they most fear. This is why, in this insolent, skeptical, mocking, laughing France of ours it has become a profession to be a bore. "Not a vulgar profession, but an excellent and ,incomparable one, without risk or peril which opens all doors and is a safe conduct to all aspirations. . "Nevertheless,-it must not be supposed that one can succeed the first time,

'or in one day inAsecoming a perfect bore.

One is not born such under this sun of ours.' One can only become so,, just as one becomes an orator, after long and continued violence done to his own nature. Even with the true vocation and especial natural aptitude, one must patiently practice for years. " For it will not suffice to be simply a bore; one must also be serious, very serious.- ,. ... "A certain apprentice in diplomacy who was not greatly worried by his excess of brain-power once asked M. de

Talloyraud foy advice how to.succeed in J

From the snows of the Tibetan mountains ' flow two of the greatest rivers of the earth, the -Yangtze and the -Yellow river, the main arteries of the Chinese plains Even to the people who dwell upon them their sources are but vaguely known.

That la Whnt the Republicans

Ffffjifinfr For. . . Washinston Telegram to Chicago Tribune,

Tho .Republicans more plainly denned

their position to-day' relative to the con

test now pending in tho Senate than they

at tiny previous time have done. : They denied that they were engaged in a petty scramble for tueossessiou of the minor offices of the-Senate, and affirmed 'that they were contending for two great principles : First, that it is the constitutional .-right and duty of tlie.majority in this country to govern; second, that it is the duty of the Republicans by every means in their power to encourage that element iu the South which seeks to disintegrate tho B urbou Democracy by guaranteeing to all classes a fair election, ' a free ballot and an honest count. That the Republicans have a constitutional majority, aside even from the vote of the Vice President, there is no doubt, for not only Mahone, but David Davis, voted with the Republicans upon that question. David Davis stated in his last speech that tho Republicans having obtained possession of the committees his

vote would not be interposed to prevent

them from logically completing their organization by the election of officers, Mr Davis has been absent two days

from the Senate, and has not sought a

pair, which favors the Republicans ; so that the Republicans stand on the strong

ground of a numerical majority of two Senators upon this,. question, while the Democrats are forced to accept. the -position, of revolutionary filibusters. As to the second point, it was made clearer today than ever before that the Republican Senators think that they have Assurances, on which they rely, that their present movement is an important one in tho interest of the breaking up of the solid South The malls come from Virginia daily laden with evidences that the stand which the Republicans have taken in support of Mahone's independent position is strengthening the opposition element in that State, and greatly dis cour ging to the Bourbons ; that if the contestcontinues without any faltering on the Republican side the result will be of great assistance in the movement for the overthrow of Bourbonism nvtho fall elections and the election of an antiBourbon Governor, Supreme Court and Legislature, which will elect the Senator who shall be the colleague of Senator Mahone after next spring. The fact of the possession of the Senate offices the Republican Senators treat as insignificant. The Readjusters in Vh ginia also record it in that manner. Their theory is that the resolute fight which the : Rep?iblicans are making in support of their candidates, one of whom has .ventured to dome put from Bourbonism and to defy it, is a token to every man of that class in the Southern country that, if he is bold enough and brave enough to assert his convictions and to defy Bourbonism, the solid Republican party North will extend to him the hand of fellowship on national grounds. Whether the Republicans are misled or not in this opinion, the thirtyeight Republican Senators from the North and West,; without an individual exception, certainly believe that tnafc is the situation in Virginia and in other portions of the South to-day: It is upon that ground that they place themselves, aud the contest that is going on in the Senate, therefore, they wish to have regarded not as a struggle for the petty spoils of the Senate offices, but aa a great -contest, than which .none has been . more important since the war, which involves the enforcement of all the amendments to the constitution and the recognition of the sanctity of the freedman's ballot, the exercise of which Bourbonism seeks to prevent or to destroy. It Is for these two "reasons alone that : the Republican Senators assert (and are in earnest when they assert it) that xhey will keep the Senate in con

tinuous session during, the summer rather than surrender their constitutional right and duty to control the Senate or to abandon a contest which- will bring discouragement and dismay to what they think is the growing indeEenderit movement in the South. -The lourbon Senators understand this, and clearly gave expression to their fears in the vigorous speech which Senator Beck made this nffernoon. He said that the Virginia fall campaign had begun upon March 4 in the-Senate Chamber; that the Republicans were now seeking to . elect that Legislature and Senator which should wrest the Old Dominion from Democratic . control ;: and that he and. the thirty-seven Democratic Sena tors with him were bound to sfciy here and contest that ' issW iu the Senate Chamber. : The issue is clearly, joined, and tlie mereoffices themselves are rapidly being, lost sight of in the debate which is each day assuming broader proportions. The matter of confirmations, too, the Republicans say, is trifling, for with -possibly one exception (that of the vacancy on the United States Supreme Court bench V there is not a single office in all the list named which is not now filled by a competent person, and tho republic will receive no detriment, they state, by the fact that the placemen arid the spoilsmen, are compelled to stand aside and wait until the principles upon which the republic itself is- founded, and which the Republican party has been striviug to secure, shall, if possible, be secured howl Republican ' Senators, commenting upon the fact that- the Northern press quite generally condemn their course here, say that the Republican press, when, they fully understand the situation, will modify 'their comments, and in any" event that the position assumed by the Republican Senators has been taken after Uu most"' careful doliberatiou as to the policy' which was best for tho party. Two of' the new Republican Senators 'spoke to-day, and : helped to-strip this. contest to. some extent of the disguise arid mystery which the Democrats have sought to throw around it. " Senator Hawloy, of Connecticut, made his maidon speech, and Senator Sherman, apparently to the surprise of tho Democracy, very earnestly supported the Republic-., mis in their position as regards Mahone. If the Democrats adhere to their position they will in effect force the thirty-,' eight .Republican Senators to take the stump iu Virginia in opposition to the Bourbons! This reinforcement to the inti-Bourbon element had not been expected. Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, addressing the Senate upon this question, said the American people would look upon th's contest, which involved nothing but a few officers, with a good deal of indifference, but back of this was a principle which was recognized in every deliber--

atiwbody intoe thai the majority of any "body must decide every question that came before it. The rights of the minority were, not defined,'

uc prestircoecL ntjre uiw iu purity who in favor pt a change of officers. It was shown by many-votes, and it waa mora than a constitutional majority it was a majority of the Senators without respect to the. voting of the Vice "President: Did anybody question the right of the maioritv to elect officers ? The minority

said No; you ahalkaot do that." Perhaps the majority was . wise and right. That waa a matter of indifference. Tho question, was, who a&Quld determine the order of business. Any majority was 'a majority It waa because Southern republics -had disregarded this law that they had never been able to establish stable governments. He made a strong argument in opposition to the right of minorities to filibuster by withholding their votes, and criticised the action of his own party associates in having at various times resorted to that method. He was glad to co-operate with the Senator from .Virginia (Mahone), and he believed the movement originated by that gentleman would be the dawning of a new day for the South; The solid South would be broken and American politics cease to be sectional and become national. He welcomed

the Senator as the avant ooumer of the men who would follow and break down sectionalism and procure equal rights and privileges to all men. Mr. Sherman went on to argue that the proposition to elect a few Senate

uuiuers was entirely ko narrow a utwMo for a revolutionary movement If, as had been stated on --the' other side, the

election of Jtvi ddieberger wns to alloc politics in Virginia and help to break up the Bourbon Democracy, then so much

the better; That would be additional justification for the position taken by Republican Senators. He informed the other side that the Republican of the Senate would cover ?Mr, Mahone with their shield, and protect him with their strong arm. If the Democrats attacked him, they attacked the Republicans. If ' the election oV Riddleberger would strengthen the Republican, party, then the Republican Senators were justified in electing him. There was not a Democratic Senator who would" not be governed by a political' motive' like that. To call it "corrupt" or "dfchnnnrahlA" war to use a term totallv.

unworthy. "We," said he, "buy no man.1 "Vve barter wjth -no man. V?&

nave maae promises to no man. : xnerc has been no promise made, no hope or expectation of reward held out nothing that is corrupt. Our motives for entering into the movement are aa par tent arfday, as light as the sun, and can be proclaimed from every, housetop, and every stump. We give our hand to the Senator from Virginia because we believe we will thus advance the public interests, and break down a bitter spirit in the South which has prevailed since the: war. We believe, while extending our help and aid to those' men in expressing

tneir opinion jeven u we no not agree with that opinion), while aiding them in defending themselves against the ostracism of a great and powerful sectional party, that we are doing good to onr country. And we propose to carry out that policy.- In carrying out that policy we do more good to the. South than we do to ourselves." Mr. Sherman asserted it to be a fact that all movements looking to repudia-

ments. He recalled the time when two '

Democrats had proposed to repudiate the debt of Ohio (when it was $25,000,000). The good sense of the men of both parties had frowned down that proposition. One of its authors (MeNulty) had been driven to Washington, where he was elected Clerk of a Demo

cratic House of Representatives, and the other (Boyington) had been driven into

exue, ana ixom uitu nine w. hub .uio ;

tion in Ohio. The proposition, a couple of years ago, to pay by an increased issue of legal-tender notes the interest on the national debt was of Democratic origin, . The outcry against Riddleberger, as being tainted with repudiation, could not come with good grace from the Democratic party, which had been the aur

United States. Reverting to the x right of the majority to prevail, he de- " dared that if the majority should yield that right, there would be an end to all legislation or business in the Senate. Every party going out of power should

yield gracefully to the inevitable. The matter should not nave occupied twentyfour hoursi When the majority had plainly intimated its desire to change certain officers, the minority should have

yielded to that desire. He appealed to the Senators on the Democratic side to allow the majority to proceed with the ordinary course of business. They might denounce the Republicans for their connection with the Senator from Virginia (Mahone). The Republicans could take

care ot wiuu j.iiy 1 iuiuuii ucuuuuvo

them for voting for Riddleberger. They could take care of that But when they said tiiev would hot let the majority go

on with public business, except" as they

should dictate, they put that majority in

a position which they could not surrender without endangering the Govern

ment The majority must rule, or there

was m the country nothing but a Jdex-

ican republic. '
