Coronation of the Czar and Czarini. THE GRAND PAGEANT IN MOSCOW LAST SUNDAY. The ceremonies attendant upon the corona- tion of the czar of Russia were concluded Sun- day with the grandest spectacular display wit- nessed on the face of the earth in modern times. Everything that could add to the impreasive- ness of the coronation was produced regardless of expense. The exercises of the last day were begun Sunday morning with the ringing of all the belisin Moscow accompanied by the thunder of artillery. The hour was not too early for the anxious population. The streets were thronged even before the clanging of bells, and the rvar of heavy suns announced the formal opening of the day's proceedings. The event of the day and indeed of the week, was to take place—the crowning of the emperor and empress. The coronation was in the cathedral of the Holy Assumption within the walls of the Krem- lin.” The route of the procession was four miles in length, and eagerness to obtain a position from whence the gorgeous pageant could be the people astir even before 6 o'clock. that hour large bodies of troops were inustered to the sound of martial music, and the et of the early movement of the soldiers was apparent when lines of soldiery were formed on each side of the procession route to keep back the pressing and impatient populace. THE IMPERIAL, PROCESSION. When the imperial procession started it was made known to those Inside the cathedral by the renewed ringing of bells, by sonorous music from scores of bands, and by the shouts of those outside. As the royal pair appeared at the doors of the palace the immense multitude imme- diately uncovered their heads and burst into loud acclamations. ven the women were bon- fet bare, and the enthusiasm waa as unaffected as it was spontancous and hearty. At the head ofthe royal procession, which now entered the Kremlin s the master of ceremonies, flanked by heratd clad and mounted upon pure white horses. It was of immense length, and comprised deputies from the Asiatic states of the empire, students of the university, the clergy Judges, the nobility, and prefects from ever section of the empire. When its front rank reached the doors of the palace it was met by vearing the white uniform of a fuards, and vy the em- ne girdled with a magnificent belt ‘The empress leaned on the royal consort. The pair placed them- s beneath a canopy richly wrought in. silk and gold and borne by 32 generals of high mtli- tary rank. They then took their place near the head of the procession, being directly after the At this moment the entire body of the clergy emerged from the cathedral in order to Inevt the reyalia, which they publicly sprinkled with holy water and perfumed with incense. THE SCENE IN THE CATHEDRAL. The high dignitaries who were to take part inthe actual ceremony of coronation assem- bled, according to & prearranged plan, in the cathedral at 7}g a.m. About 8 o'clock the princes of toreign governments, the nobility of Ru: ambagsadors and other state dignitaries entered, the utmost care being exercised to preveat the admission of any unauthorized or i oper person. he emperor and empress were received within the portals of the eathedral by the me- tropolitan of Moscow. The metropolitans of Novgorod and Kieff presented to them the cross tobe Kissed and sprinkled with holy water. first the emperor and then the empress. Before the sacred images, which flanked the doors of the cathedral, they knelt and bowed their heads, after which they were conducted to the ancient thrones of ivory and silver. Alexander occu- pied the historical throne of the Czar Vladimir Monomague, while the empress was seated in an arm chair gilded and encrusted with jewels, The thrones were placed upon a dais erected be- tween the two middle cojuins of the cathedral. Over the dais was a canopy of scarlet veivet, suspended from the arched roof, embroidered with gold and lined with silver brocade, which was worked with the arms of Russia and all her dependencies ina most ingenious manner. In front of the thrones were two tables covered with gold cloth, upon which were placed the crowns, the orb and the scepter. None but for- eign princes were accominodated with seats. The Russian princes and dignitaries stood dur- ing the entire ceremony, according to the cus- tom of the Greek. The dixnitaries of the realm who were carrying the standard and seals of jo empire took their stand upon the steps of the ais. THE EMPEROR AND EMPRESS CkOWNED. When their majesties were seated the metro- politan of Novgorod asked the emperor if he was atrue believer, in response to which his majesty fell upon his knees and read in a clear voice the Lord’s prayer aud the aposties’ creed. The metropolitan then invoked the grace of the Holy Ghost upon his majesty, atterwhich a sum- mons, addressed generally, Was read by a bishop, calling upon any who knew of any impediment why Alexander should not be crowned with all his hereditary power, titles and dignities to come forward and declare it or remain dumb forever afterward. Not a murmur of opposition was heard. and the ceremony proceeded with the Teading of selections from the gospel. The im- perial mantle of ermine was then placed upon the emperor with the admonition ‘Cover and protect thy peo as this robe protects and covers thee.” The emperor responded with earnest feeling, “I will, I will. I will, helping.” The metropolitan of Novgorod next crossed his hands upon the head of his majesty and invoked the benediction of Almighty God upon him and his reign. The crown of Rus- sia was then delivered to Alexander III, who placed it upon his own head, and assuming the scepter and orb took his seat upon the throne. He then, after returning the insignia of his title tothe dignitaries appointed to receive them, called the empress, who knelt before him. A smile of touching sympathy with her husband illumined her countenance. He gently touched her head with the imperial crown and placed upon it the crown of the empreas. The czar preserved throughout a grave and decorous dig- nity and a nobleness of demeanor, which aiso provoked the admiration of all. The empress was next invested with the imperial mantle, and both their majesties resumed their seats on their respective thrones. The arch-deacon in- toned the imperial titles and sang ‘Domine salvum fac imperatorem,” which was taken up and thrice repeated by the choir. POPULAR ENTHUSIASM.

Congratulations were extended to their majesties, the emperor recited a prayer, the bishop ot Mos- cow prayed for the hapjiness of the newly- crowned pair, and then the cathedral rang with shouts of “Long live the emperor.” This was taken up by those outside, and the shouting spread from the Kremlin to the city, where it was repeated by tens of thousands, “THE LORD'S ANOINTED.” At the gate of the sanctuary the metropolitan of Novgorod anointed the emperor, exclaiming: ‘Behold the seal of the Holy Ghost. May it keep-thee ever holy.” The empress was then anointed; the royal pair partook of the sacra- ment, and left the cathedral wearing their crowns and imperial mantles. After a prayer in the cathedral of Michael the Archangel, they returned to the palace. escorted by a procession which, augmented by the gorgeous state car- riages, presented a grander spectacle than the escort to the cathedral. THE IMPERIAL BANQUET. At 3:30 p. m. the imperial banquet began, the emperor and empress, still wearing their crowns, being seated at separate tables, on thrones of unequal height. Appro- priate toasts were drank, and each was followed by salutes of artillery. At 6p. m. the czar is- sued his manifesto.

It has been one thousand and twenty years since the Slav tribes, occupy!ng Russia, growing weary of Sapee freedom they enjoyed, sent @ deputatioi nd the sea with, an invitation to the northern princes, “Our land is large and rich, but disorderly. Rule over us.” Burik, a prince of the Rus tribe, accepted the invitation. He gave his new realm the name of his own tribe, Rus, and thus it became Russia. In the ten and one-fifth centuries Russia has had, including the Fe ntyren czar, eighty crown- bearers, and, as a rule, they have written their poor in the blood and oppression of their sub- 8. A Clear Oversight. Fiom the Boston Herald. That was a pathetic picture which Ingersoll drew of Dorsey's and Brady's “ruined homes.” But they should have thought ofthat when they conbined to feather their nest by plucking the THE EVE.ING STAR: WASHINGTON. STAR ROUTE TALK. Ingersoll’s Mush and Gush-The “In- mecent Family” Argument. ‘WHERE THE RESPOXSIBILITY BELONGS. From the New York Herald. In beginning the final argument for the gov- ernment in the ute trial yesterday Mr. Merrick conceded truth of the sentiments expressed by Col. Ingersoll in closing his pa- thetic appeal for Dorsey, that “nothing is so profoundly sad as the wreck of a human being; nothing is so profoundly mournful as a home covered with shame.” Like all criminal lawyers, who never fail to make this stereotyped appeal to the sympathies of the jury, Mr. Ingersol) assumed that the Jury would be wholly responsible for the sad conse- quences that a ict of guilty would bring upon the accused and their families. But Mr. Merrick talked more sensibly when he declared that the responsibility rests, not with the jury which renders the verdict, but with the men charged with committing the crimes. THE INNOCENT FAMILY ARGUMENT. From the Philadelphia Times. Col. Ingersoll having exhausted the tear- fountains of the jury and the lady spectators, Mr. Merrick very properly reminds the Jury that this case should be determined by the law and evidence, and net by sympathy. It is, no doutt, very hard for an innocent family to be disgraced by a criminal husband, but the husband should think of that before committing the crime. If the Innocence of the family is to be invoked to shield the criminal, every culprit in the country will be inclined to try the experiment of pro- viding himself with the innocent family as the best means of avoiding Justice. Ifthe evidence convicts these men of guilt, they should be pro- nounced guilty by the jury. It not, they should be acquitted. The Innocent tamily argument should not have a feather’s weight. WHAT COL. BOB'S ORATORY HAS NOT DONE. From the Boston Herald. Ingersoll’s @oquence has created the impres- sion at Washington that the star route conspl- rators will at least escape conviction. Col. Bob's oratory, whatever may be said of it, has not altered or effaced the main facts, abund- antly proved by oral and documentary, inter- nal and external, evidence—that contracts were taken expressly to be “‘expedited;” that they were given increased service and extravagantly Increased pay us soon as they came into the ring’s hands, and that the government was swindled out of large sums of money by these transactions. If the jury is “hung.” it will be due to the mental or moral obtuseneas of its dissenting members, or to the use of money, Not to Ingersoll’s eloquence. From the Breoklyn Eagie.

Bleod Drinking in St. Louis. Blood drinking is daily becoming more popu- lar in St. Louis, and a prominent wholesal butcher, who supplies the city institutions with meat, says there is a sort of craze for the fluid. Bullocks’ blood has, of cours, long been a ta- vorite beveraxe with consuinptives and per- sons of wasted vitality, but It would seem that the crimson in its lukewarm state is now re- garded rather as a preventative than a cure for wasted tissue. It is said that milk is but | clarified biood, losing, however, its nutritive powers in the process of clarification; hence the people resort to the pure article. The taste ig said to be so similar to that of warm udder milk that, could an eacepecning person be blindfolded and offered a glass of warm, new milk, and another ot warm blood, fresh from the veins of a healthy young bullock, he could not discriminate. Not every one can drink milk fresh unadulterated, as it Is too rich and causes biliousness, and not every one can throw back the head, raise a goblet of the vital red fluid to the lips’ and let it slowly trickle down the throat and into the primary stomach. It is not that the matter is more objectionable than milk, but rather from association. The city contractor is a powerful, stout. and ruddy man of 30 years, weighing over 200 pounds, and has a thorough contempt for doctors.’ He was up to the age of 19 a clerk, and at that time weighed but 110 pounds, and the possessor of a wan and pallid countenance, but through the advice of a friend he ‘embraced butchering,” and, although he has never tasted blood, he says that working in and around it, and breath- ing the air laden with the efluvia, has made him the powerful man that he ge A School for Burglars.

His name, which is said ‘to be familiar to the police of every city, is Truman Ryan. He lives with his wife in his own house, and is supposed to be in easy circumstances, the result of many years’ close attention to the busi- ness from which he has now retired. The most singular feature of his existence, however, is the professional instruction which he imparts fora reasonable compensation to young men who are desirous of becoming ex, criminals. The Post. ees ay prints a long account of the experience of one of its reporters who assumed. the role of an embryo cracksman, and took a lesson in Ryan’s school of burglary. The in- struction on that day comprised an enumera- tion of the burglar’s tools, and a general ex- planation of their use, together with a few practical"examples of clever work, and many comprehensive suggestions. The reporter was informed that Ryan has about a dozen regular pupils, several of whom are about ready to be graduated. ——_-e-____ The Only Fault With a Palace Car.

He was the second son of the late czar, and, as is usual with grand dukes with no Probable prospect ot the throne, very little care was bestowed on his education.

He was s true an: Ween wie tee was off and Groh leeves rolled up, his |, large figure acqul 5 considerable energy and agility, and his features looked animated, if not handsome. Then there was a certain manliness and even bravery about him. He was happy when he surpassed his brothers, who were also ood athletes, in gymnastic exercises. Sud- lenty he was called from his sports to occupy the responsible Ro czare- vitch, his senior brother, Nicholas, having died.’ ‘This happened in’ 1865. It was a great shock to his future subjects, as the young man had the credit of being an obstinate, ca- pricious. bad tem, d boy. The brothers had always been playfellows and greatly attached to each other, and when but ten and eleven years old were brought to the deathbed of the Empe- ror Nicholas, in 1855, to receive their grand- father’s blessing and a few words of advice. As might be expected at their age and on such an occasion, they both shed many tears. That the present czar married the Princess Dagmar (who on her re-baptism into the Eastera church received the names of Mary Feodorovna) at the special request of the dying youth to whom she was betrothed is well known; and though the request seemed hardly natural the elder brother probably remembered that she was not without, ambition, and had thought much of the position which she would some day occupy, and which, in his unselfish love, he strove to secure for her in the only possible way. “ wil te Gece PERSONAL TRAITS. “No. they are not.” His face has none of that pathetic melan-| + choly peculiar to his father’s.
