The C/.nr's Coronation.
A'-- * .

Un -
. . . .unions are in progress for Hi
coronation of Alexander 111 , at Samai
cand , Iho historic city of the Tartar coi
queror , Tamerlane. Five centuries ag
the ruler of Central Asia hold his court i
oriental magnificence in what was Ion
considered one of the most inacccsslbl
citadels of Islam. Europe heard enl
vague and marvellous stories of the hi :
ury of the Tartar capital , the splendor <
its palaces and the regal pomp which ii
vested its monarch. Early in tli
coming spring the people , scarcely n
mcmbering the pride and power of Iho
forefathers will stand in the midst of tli
monuments of Moslem greatness and lee
with awe upon the finery of the Whit
Tzar , the descendant of rulers who wei
half-civilized and feeble chiefs who
Sanmrcand was in its glory. Notlun
could show so forcibly Iho changes of tli
last few centuries and oven decades. ' .
is not long since the rulers of Samarcan
first realized that they had anything t
fear from the Russians , remote beyon
the deserts. Hut the details of the czar
coronation will doubtless bo rcportu
from day lo day by telegraph direct froi
the ancient capital of Turkestan , an
ho will make his way there mostly t
railroads loading far into the plains <
Central Asia. Tlio practical politic ;
interest attached to tiie ceremony set fc
next spring at Samarcand is the possibl
efl'ect of the display of Russian powc
upon the natives all the way from the O :
us to the Ganges , and so upon Iho fulut
relations of Great Britain and Russia. ' .
is a prime point of Russian stalccra
never to miss an opportunity lo imprc ;
Asiatics with the greatness and grandei
of the czar , and the pageant at Sama
cand will surely bo used to till the A
ghans witli awe of Russia's might an
admiration for her generosity. TJio dm
bar of last spring at Rawill Pindee.undc
English auspices , will be forgotten i
the splendors of Iho coronation at San
arcand and in putting on the crown i
Central Asia the czar will strife to loose
the diadem of India upon the brow of tl
British queen.
WAI : papers are now all the rage ; ar
Iho journal which fails to fill a place on i
staff with a special correspondent of 11
war of Iho rebellion is behind in Iho rai
of enterprise. Shiloh has been fought c
a dozen different plans during the pa
year , Yicksbttrg 1ms been besieged as tl
result of no less than four different gro :
orals' suggestion , Ilallccks' has been alto
nalely proved to bo a fool and a her
John Pope has been .pilloried as an i
competent nincompoop and praised as
brilliant strategist , and u score of oth <
loading figures in the war iiave eilln
been dragged down from Ihe
pcdcslals or raised aloft for pu
lie commondnlion contrary to tl
verdict of contemporary histor
An attempt is now made to revive the o
Shorman-Stanton controversy over ll
negotiations which preceded the surra :
dor of Joe Johnston's ' army , Jn the sprit
of 1805 , and a number of confederate lc
tors are published to show that the tern
of the surrender proposed by Johnsto
considered by Sherman , anddisapprov ; <
by Stanton were in reality the work <
Jon" Davis and the officers of the oxpirlt
confederate government , and that Go
Sherman , was made the dupe ofDav

action. The battles of the war are no
being bravely fouglit over ogam c
paper , and if half of what the valiai
brevet brigadiers of the quill tell us is

These interesting documents , which ,

THE sensalional news comes fret
Washinglon that the rival leaders of lit
Nebraska democracy have lemporarll
slopped Iho fight which has boon prc
grossing so viciously on the banks of th

that the results have not been us sail !

Mr Morton generously called time an <

The oulcomo of Iho negotiations fo

"A cumous specimen of a now way t
pay old debts , " is the name given by tli
Now York 3Y ? cs to Iho Hoar eight
years extension bill. This debt nmoun
to about $100,000,000 , , and the bill pn
vides for its payment in equal semi-ai
nutil installments running over a pcric
of eighty years. Its present worth o
the 1st of October next is to bo a&co
taincd , "on llio basis that money is wort
3 pur cent , " by adding interest at Hit
rate to Iho average dale of malurit
of the now bonds , which won !

make the sum to he divided into [ { a\ \
U1R ± ; T O.000,600 , , and tlio amount lo I
paid annually $ ' 2,750,000 , or 2 U4 per con
of the debt as it now stands. That is 1
say , Hi6 total debt would bo liquidated I
paying yearly less than Iho rale of into

worth 3 per cent. " "It is a peculiar lei
iency , " saj's tlio editor of tlio Time.
"thai permits a debtor lo discharge h
obligation by merely paying a low ra
of interest for a long period of years. "
MR. JAMES i'J. HOYD is highly indignai
over the publication of tlio political co
rcspomlcnco of Dr. Miller and himself i
reference to the peddling of Nobrnsk
patronage. Ho threatens lo "salt down
the chief clerk in the secretary of the ii
tcrior's office , for divulging state secret
but intimates that the distressing info
mation probably was secured without tl
oflicials at Washington knowing how
was to be used. Mr. Boyd refuses 1
credit the rumors that a peace is bcin
patched up between the two factions <
the democracy , and saj's his voice is sti
for "gore. " This will bo painful info
million for the friends of harmonv.

Such a factory would pay well from tl

of this nature should not find a mark *

however , very amusing in their uwkwnri

girls , however , lost their shyness , une
with feminine astuteness acted on tlu

Mugwump.
New York Sun : For the still curious
about the origin of the word mugwump ,
an Algonquin vocablo Introduced into
modern use by Iho Sun , wo reproduce the
15th verso of the IWth chapter of Gunosm
ns translated Into Iho Indian tongue by
thu Apostle Kliot :

gheunche F.snu , Mugquomp Tcniaii.Mug-

The Knglish to\t ; is :
These were dukes of the sons of Ksaiij
the sons of Kllpliuz , the first-born sou of
Ksau , Duke Tomun , Duke Omar , Duke
Xvnlio , Duke Kenaz.
The Hebrew word which is hero ren
dered by duke is nlluph , meaning loader
or chief of n tribe , and thus the native
red mun's synonym for "big chief" has
settled upon the heads of the philosophers
of the school of competitive examinations
for admission lo the civil service , and
there it sticks. Words , like kings , have
their ana and downs in life.
