The Russian Language.

The Russian language as it is now
used in literature is of comparatively
modern origin. Peter the Great was
the founder of the new Russian alpha
bet and grammar. With one mighty
stroke of his pen he abolished the old
Slavonian characters, formerly used in
Russia, and under his direction the
Russian language was shaped into the
into the grammatical forms it has re-
tanned to the present day. This fact,
taken by itself, might seem entirely in
COMPREHENSIVE. How can the Ian
guage of a people, which has been used
for centuries past. be abolished by the
order of a monarch, ever if that mon
arch be as powerful and mighty as
Peter the Great was? And such an
act on his part would indeed have been
an impossibility if Peter had made an
attempt to introduce a new language
into Russia. The truth is, he never
attempted anything of the kind. In
old Russia there existed two distinct
languages-the Russian proper, the
language of the people, and the old
Slovenian, used by the church, the
state and the learned men. The people
had no literature Of own. The tartar
yoke, which had rested so heavily on
Russia for more than two centuries,
had arrested the growth of a national
literature in its very bud. Among the
~peasantry scarcely one man could be
found who could read and write. How
could an independent national litera-
ture have arisen under such circum-
stancesP All the learning which ex-
listed at the time was of an essentially
clerical character, and as the chief re-
personalities Of the Russian clergy
came from Greece, or at least were ed
ucated under Byzantine influence, the
language they used became naturally a
strange mixture of Russian, Greek and
Salvonian, with an alphabet almost en-
tirely copied from the Greek.
1t was this a%rtiicially created idiom
which Peter the Great abolished, and
it was the plain, real, national Russian
which he reinstated in its rights, CIV
ing it, at the same time, a palmer al
phabet entirely independent of the
Greek. This is the reason Of the sue
cess with which Peters literary reform
was crowded. Far from creating art
ificially a language for literary and Of
tlcial purposes, his reform meant a re-
turn to the true national idiom, and
was the foremost condition for any fur

A Zulu King in Full Dress.

Letter from South Africa.
Cetywayo's eyes were exceptionally
large and brilliant, but his forehead,
though broad for a KaHr, was very re-
ceding, while the lower part of his fore
head denoted a determined and brutal
nature. He was very deliberately dress
ed. Over his shoulders was fastened a
leopard skin, keeros or cloak reaching
down to the back of his knees; around
his loins he wore a handsome moochi,
that is, a band of tiger-cat skins, with
a deep fringe of strips of the same skin
hanging downward. His wrists and
ankles were decorated with strings of
red, white and black beads, and his hair
with several ostrich feathers. In the
slit in his right ear, the distinguished
mark of the Zulus (who are also cut in
the lobe Of both ears in infancy, he
carries a very ornamental snuff-box,
made from a piece of bamboo cane,
carved and decorated with beads, and
in the slit of his left ear he carried a
comb. The Zulu comb is about six
inches long, and is made of bone ivory.
The top of the handle is Of the shape of
the bowl of a spoon, and with it they
out snuff. The lower part is
deliberately carved. The teeth, of
which there are only three, are fully
four inches long, and resemble the
prongs of a fork. In his right hand
Ceteywayo carried a hunting assegia
and on his left arm his shield.

PACIFIC POLICY.
The Northern Lines to Enter for San
Juan Business.

Since the fifteenth of December, 1873
when the Santa Fe assumed arrange
ment Of the Rio Grande under lease, an
arbitrary rate has prevented northern
lines from entering into competition for
the traffic Of southern Colorado. The
Tribune is happy to announce that the
siege has been raised and that Mr.. John
Muir, general agent of the Kansas
Pacific railway is now in the city for
the purpose of arranging with Traffic
Manager Ainslie, of the Denver & Rio
Grande road, for a pro rata use Of the
narrow gauge for business to and from
all points on the narrow gauge.
This resumption of business in the
south by the Pacific lines is the result
OF a conference recently held in Chicago
between Manager Strong, of the Santa
Fe, and Manager Clark, of the Union
and Kansas Pacific. According to the
terms of the arrangement the northern
lines enter the south via the Rio Gran
de on equitable terms with the Santa
Fe, and the two Pacifics are enabled up
on the same division to give equal rates
from the MISSOURI to all points on the
Rio Grande, with the Santa Fe. The
old Colorado pool remains intact and in
addition the Union Pacific and the
Kansas Pacific go south of Denver for
east and west business. Pueblo and
Denver become common points in rail-
road parlance and rates to intermediate
points and to points south of Pueblo
are fixed by the addition of the local
rate to the through expense.
This is one Of the fruits of the recent
visit of Jay Gould and to his evident
appreciation ofthe advantages of fost-
ering and encouraging the growth and
commercial Importance Of Denver. Its
to Denver are manifold,
the Queen City becoming nee more
the gate way to the extensive and rapid
ly increasing trade of the great south
west. The arrangement goes into ef-
feet at Denrer Tribune.

Goodbye. Azor.

The Liberia Exodus Association has
dcscrvedly come to grief. The bark
Azor has been ibeled in the United
States Court in tho sum of $6,733,
most of which is due the captain and
mate. 1t is claimed that the vessel is
worth twenty-five thousand dollars,
but as the association cannot pay of
the claims against her she will be
sold. Thus will be terminated one of
the chief swindles Of tho day. Any
balance left over after satisfying
claims should be expended in charter
Ing ship to go to Liberia and bring
back the deluded people who were
carried over there to suffer. Home

We observe also that court mar
tial has been called to convene in

Things arc beginning to look squal-
ly. Those adjutants who foolishly
accepted office in the State militia,
looking only to the gold lace, brass
buttons and tho glory of the dress
parade, will now tremblc in their
boots at the imminent danger they are
threatened with of death sentence by
a drum-head court martial. And as
all the worthless weapons will have
been changed by December for others
of deadly nature, the condemcd can
indulge in no pleasing hope Of cap
swapping OF gun bursting and hoist
ing the cXccutioncr with his own
pctard. Bya singular omission no
provision is made for killing off sever
nj hundred governors aides at the
same time. This is discrimination Of
tho most flagrant nature. a court
martial should be organized TO see
that every colonel in the service
whether of staff or line have pair
of spurs at least six inches in diane
ter, and not less than forty-cight brass
buttons on the breast and sixteen on
the coat-tail. The adjutants must not
suffer alone. If they do they will
ever be mourncd as martyrs to the
cause, and their death will be avenged.

Grants Triumpha1 Procession.

The Republicans are making the
most desperate efforts to retain their
grasp on the Presidential chair in
1880. Fearing that their other leaders
may be overwhelmed at the polls,
they are raising the war cry and howl
ing Justify for Grant. The schemes on
foot to manufacture enthusiasm over
the Smoky Caesar are amusing in the
last degree. The most absurd of all
is conveyed In letter received at tho
Omaha office Of the Union Pacific
Railroad, which "details plan for Il
grand excursion from Washington to
San Francisco, about the 1st of Au-
gust next, to receive and welcome ex-
President Grant on his return from
the Orient. The writer states he has
spent some weeks at Washington,
conversed with leading Senators and
Representatives, and that many favor
the project enthusiastically. Particl-
lars Of trip through Indiana, COR
respondence with Kellogg and Pitkin
III utll OCllCI uCtullS utc
given, which indicate that from fifty
thousand to scvcnty-fivc thousand
persons would join in the excursion.
Preparations for such an excursion
would require much time, and the
letter is written to secure reduced
rates previous to any public announce
mcnt. 1t is stated that every State
in the Union will be represented, and
the excursion will require from one
hundred to one hundred and twenty
five trains Of ten cars each" This
would be ono Of the biggest circuscs
ever seen in Am erica-Grant being
the elephant, and his toadies the asses,
apes and parrots Of tho procession.
Such nonsensical parade would cx-
cite the disgust Of every one.
