The Journey Of tho Gear.

Alexander, the Gear Of all the Russias, has
set out on on extensive tour throughout his do.
minions. In this journey he Is accompanied by
the Czarowitch and the Grand Duke Vladimir.
Great preparations have been made in the va.
rious places which the Gear and his sons in
tend to visit to do them honor. Regions most
remote, wild and half civilized, ara to be
visited, and the people of these districts will
for the first time receive among them the i'm
perial head Of the State. Among the travels
o. moparchs and great men WHICH during late
years have attracted attention for their extent
and variety this visit of the Gear will
not be the least remarkable. The ram
bles Of our own great statesman, Seward,
at his advanced age, over the globe was an
accomplishment Of which he may we'll feel
proud. The honors showered upon him by
princes and peoples are too fresh in the recol-
lection Of our readers to require more than
passing reference to recall them to their
memory. The Duke Of Edinburg also distin-
guished himself by visiting the far of domin-
ions of the British Crown. Later still we

through the Spanish provinces. The grim old
soldier, William of Germany, on the close of
the war, made tour through his empire to
greet his people and thank them for their
fealty when Fatherland was threatened. We
mention these facts only to show that the
practice Of monarchs visiting in person the
people OF their States is becoming more and
more general, and that 1t is also an acknow-
ledgment Of the increasing influence of the
people OF these States. In point of interest
the journey Of the Gear will be most remark
able. Comprising as Russia does greater
number Of distinct races than any other country
on the face Of the globe, with their various
forms Of religion, their strange customs and
peculiar characteristics, tho imperial visitors
will find much to instruct interest and amuse
them in their progress. Beyond all this, how
ever, the visit will exercise an influence much
to be desired by the head Of the State. 1t
will have the effect of increasing the esteem In
which the Gear is held BY his subjects. Those
who never knew aught OF the Emperor but
what they heard Of him by gossippers may
now feast their eyes on the person whom they
regard as little less than . god. Royal jour
neys, too, are such pleasant affairs-holiday
celebrations for the poor pssssnts IN every

From our cable news Of this morning it will
be learned that Baron Beust, the Chancellor,
since 1866. Of the Austrian empire, has ten
dered his resignation to the Emperor, on
the ground, it is said, of i'll health. The
Vienna Press, the organ OF the opponents ol
Beust's policy, hints that the retirement was
not involuntary; in other words, that he had
been made to understand that his resignation
would be acceptable to the Emperor. Rumor
has it that Count Andrassy, the Hungarian
Prime Minister, will ultimately take posses
sion of the portfolio of foreign affairs. 1t
Andrassy for Beust in the Foreign Office
would make any great change in the policy Of
the imperial government. Andrassy and Beust
have good understanding with each other.
They are both opposed to the policy Of Count
Hohenwart. The Ministerial interregnum
continued at the moment when our latest
cable kilograms were forwarded from Vienna
last evening. 1t was reported at that time
that Won Lonyay, Minister Of Finance, would
be called to the Premiership instead of An
"A
don as Ambassador Of the empire at the court
of Queen Victoria. A very influential portion
of the Russian press opposed Beust vehe-
mently of late, and, it may be, thus assisted in
efecting his official fall. Look at Il, however,
from what point Of view we may, It is impos-
sible to refuse to admit that the retirement Of
Beust must be regarded as o serious blow
to the Austrian empire as the Austrian
empire now is. It does seem as II the end
was approaching, and as II the House Of
Hapsburg were for the future to find it's main
pillar of strength in faithful Hungary. The
crown of st. Stephen 10 now, as 1t has always
been, dear to the Hungarian people. That
crown is now worn by Francis Joseph. 1t is
long since the magnates Of the Hungarian
kingdom exclaimed, ''Moriamur pro reoe
nosts0 Aaria 7heresa" It is not impossible
that Francis Joseph may yet ask and receive
similar proof of adely.

Yesterdays Elections Outside Of tho Em.
piro State.

Yesterdays Elections Outside Of tho Em-
pire State.
From the returns of the election yesterday
in Massachusetts, (and the old Bay State is
always remarkably prompt with her returns)
the republicans have carried the State by an
increased majority on reduced popular vote,
which would indicate that the democrats
hardly considered it worth while to ssmake an
effort" this time. Their candidate for Gov
ernor, Mr.. John Quincy Adams, has failed
also as candidate for the Legislature
in the town Of Quincy, from which
1t would appear that the most dis
tinguished family name in the State
goes for nothing when coupled with the demo-
cratic party, even on its ''new departure" I"
As for the new party Of the labor reformers
and the liquor prohibition party, they are each
represented by few thousand votes. The
failure Of the labor reformers, though assisted
by the women's rights women, to make any
effective diversion from the republican ranks
signifies that these elements will signify moth
ing as disturbing forces in the Presidential
contest.
In New Jersey, as we had expected, the
fight has been sharply contested by the demo-
Gratis, and, without being demoralized by the
bad name Of Tammany Hall, they have made
good fight for Parker, their popular candi-
date for Governor, and have probably secured
the Legislature.
The scanty returns from Maryland indicate
that the democrats substantially hold their
own in that State; and the same, we think,
may be said In regard to the conservatives
of Virginia. We have nothing from Missis-
sippi; but the news from Little Rock, Ark,
seems to foreshadow the defeat of the Senator
Clayton republicans, Senator Clayton having
assumed the role of republican Grand Sachem
In that quarter.
From Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota we
have no definite figures beyond those Of the
municipal election Of Chicago. We suppose,
however, that those three States remain
strongly republican, though it appears that
ex-senator Doolittle, as the democratic candi-
date for Governor in Wisconsin, has been
making considerable gains. Altogether, out
side Of New York, the elections of November
sustain the general expression of those of
August, September and October in favor of
General Grants administration, while the
general results in New York mark the practical
beginning Of q great revolution against the un-
paralleled corruptions Of the Tammany
s'Ring."

reservation.

An ELECTION Riot broke out at Camden,
N. j., during the election yesterday, and the
military were called out. There was nothing
very exciting in the questions pending bef ore
the Jerseymen, and we cannot see why their
hot blood should have SO far gotten the better
Of their clear heads.

GosyRNoR DAVIS, Of Texas, occupies q
most uncon, Portable position. Yesterday the
Lower House o. the Legislature Of that State
passed resolutions denouncing the Governors 3

Limestone counties, as uncalled for, unjust
and illegal, and requesting him to restore
civil jurisdiction In those ountiesimmediately.
Bullets and bayonets are playing out rapidly
In the South, and the Governor OF Texas can
afford to dispense with them until another

Two IMPoRTANT RESERVATIONS. Yesterday
Peter Bismarck Sweeny rendered bis resigna-
tion as Park Commissioner in the city Of New
York On the same day Frederick Ferdi-
nand, Baron Won Beust, rendered to his i'm
perial master his resignation As Chancellor OF
the Austrian empire. Both have shown great
tact and skill political organizers and leaders
Of men, but both have failed. The retirement
Of two such men from the activities of political
life on the same day is coincidence not un-
worthy Of passing notice.

MAxIMILIANs STATUE was unveiled in
Vienna yesterday. The In memoriam cere-

interference in the affairs Of other people has
been the only cause Of SO much sorrow to the

another Ii sufficient to balance transactions
amounting to hundreds of millions, Just a.
few millions at most regulate at the Clearing
House Of Now York tho enormous business Of
our banks. 1t will be enough to know that
certain amount Of specie, Of credit and re-
sources lie where they can be drawn upon
without transporting the specie. There will be
no more necessity for removing gold than
for removing house when it is mortgaged.
We have not quite arrived at that yet; we are
only approaching 1t. When we learn to regard
gold only as commodity, and all credits and
the commercial transactions of the world shall
be regulated by the telegraph, exchanges will
be equalzed and revulsion will become rare.
Governments and their Post Office establish
ments must become largely instrumental in
efHecting the great financial revolution that is
pending; and hence we regard the postal money
order convention between Great Britain and
the United States as an important step in that
direction, and one which will have in the end
more extended influence over the exchanges
and financial transactions Of the world. The
tendency Of the age is to bring nations nearer
together in their relations and sympathies,
through the modern agents Of civilization, than
the people Of one country or State were few
years ago. That little spark which Morse
snatched from the elements and utilized is des-
tined to change the face Of the world fnan-
cially, as well as politically and morally.

The defeat Of Ledwith for the Supreme
Court viii give general satisfaction. No one
win mourn his fate. He disappears from poll
tical life for ever and can bargain and sell no
more. Judge Spencer and probably William
E. Curtis are elected to the Superior Court,
Judge Jones being apparently defeated. The
fact that he is brother-in-law to Judge Bar
nard probably accounts for his defeat. The
reformers refused to endorse him and Tam
many revenged themselves upon Judge Bar
nard by voting against his relative. Judge
Spencer's election is one Of the gratifying
features of the contest.
The returns from the State are incomplete
but enough Is shown from the vote of this city,
as well as from such figures AZ are at hand up
to the hour Of going to press, to render it GER
tain that the republicans have carried their
State ticket and the State Legislature by .
good majority. So General Grant again
marches on to victory, and Fenton and Gree
ley disappear with Tammany. Peace to their
ashes.

No" oySeem Vi iuscrnatOHal exchange. In0
remainder of the terms of the convention are
but the details for carrying out the object.
In the early history Of modern commercial
development in Europe, when England and
Holland were rivals, the great object was to
create such system Of trade and finance as
to secure the advantages Of a favorable ex-
change. Statesmen made the greatest efforts
to obtain balance Of trade in favor of their
own country, and failing In that sometimes
resorted to financial maneuvres. In those
early times, when the Dutch had the balance
Of trade in their favor, England succeeded in
turning the exchanges favorable to London by
skilfnl financial management. The judicious
and secret use of comparatively small sum
Of money at that period was sufficient for the
purpose. Exchange was high then, even be-
tween countries 80 near each other as England
and Holland, and the profit derived from it
was matter Of great importance. The Eng
lish made London the financial centre and the
exchanges In its favor by skilfuly placing
certain amount Of money to be drawn upon,
even while the balance of trade was In favor Of
Amsterdam. The English have pursued similar
policy, chiefly under the management Of the
Bank of England, ever since, and generally
with success.
But times have changed. The commercial
and financial affairs Of the world are undergo

wait months or weeks, or even days. for intel

The. Thoroughbred Horse

The .Dutchless Farmer, in an article
on the thoroug- baed horse, tersely shows
up his points of superiority as follows
l. They are more intelligon possess
ing more brain and nervous matter.
.. They are, from their intelligence,
more .tractable and kind in their DISPOSE
ton and temper. -
3. They are less liable to disease, from
a superior organization.
4. They are more elegant in carriage
and appearance.
5. They are. superior in action. &.
6. They endure the vicissitudes of heat
andcold better.
Z. Tdey live to much greater age;
maintaining their usefulness.
8. They are superior in fieetness, dura-
bility, bravery and breathing powers
9. They always do and always will
command a higher price in the market
then any other breed.
IfyOu will examine the thoroughbred
you will, on invest, CATION find superior
animal organizalion-his bones are more
solid, his tendons strong and much better
defined, his mucles more firm and elastic
in fact, his form and quality are much
superior feet and powerful than any 9TH
er variety Of the horse tribe. lie will
preform much more Tabor in given time
and repeat the task oftener, comming
round quicker from overwork than any
animal Ofinferior blood. When the cold
blOOded horse is over-w orked his spirits
sink and hisrecovery is slow, and some
times never complete. A square inch of
bone from thoroughbred horse is much
heavier than square inch from cart
horse, the latter resembling pumice stone
while the former is solid, partaking more
of the closegraihed nature of ivory. The
same remark will apply to the tendons
and mucles. Consequently q tharough-
bred horse will be stronger than cart
horse in a little more than half the COM
pass. 1t is asserted, and is doubtless
true, that the thoroughbred horse can
support greater weight on his back
than the common horse.

The Buffalo and the wounded Calf.

The vast herds Of buffalo which roam
over our Western plains, although ap-
parently wholly nnrestrained and irreg-
ular in THEM movements, seem, neverthe-
less, to be governed by certain laws or
instincts which they never contravene.
Under ordinary circumstances the bull
butfaloes are found on or near the outer
edge of the herds, while the cows and
calves are all collected in central knot.
This arrangement enables the balls to
protect the herd from attacks Of wolves
or other animals, and to catch the first
scent of approaching danger. Were it
not for this powerful alert guard, quaint
tiles of calves would fall q prey to the
coyote wolves which constantly follow
the herds ready to devour any weak or
disabled buffalo that is left behind or
becomes separated from the rest. The
bull buhaloes occasionally charge these
wolves en- mdsse and drive them away ::
but if one bull attacks alone, the pack
soon hamstring him, and he falls an
EASY prey to their ravenous appetites.
When cow buffalo is killed, the calf
generally stays with the carcass, when
the young one can readily be captured,
since it will follow horse, or even the
hunter. But when calf has been wound.
ed it is almost impossible to capture it,
tor the bulls then take it under their spe
cial protection. One of them generally
gets the calf on its head, behind the horns.
as is shown in our engraving. and keeps
near the center of the herd, thus carries
the wounded animal until halt is made.
the bulls push wounded
calf an front ofthem, butting it with their
heads toward the center of the herd, or
else by putting their horns under the calf
they vii! throw it as far as possible, al
ways toward the center Of the herd, and
thus by successive filings try to keep it
out Of harms way. A bull buffalo is a
very Notwithstanding animal, and is!
fully as dangerous as he looks; SO it is 1
gratifying to know that to his own off.

nurse, though perhaps after somewhat
