Sketch of His Life.

Alexander H., present emperor of Russia,
surnamed dNicholaewitch, ,as the eldest son of the
late Emperor Nicholas, was born in 1918. His
mother was a sister of Frederick William ".
king of Prussia. He succeeded his father in
nation intimating resolution to pursue the
plans of Nicholas, and, if possible, bring the
war, which was then raging in the Crimea,
between the united forces of Turkey, France,
England, and Sardinia. and that of his own
dominion, to a successful termination. In
this, however, he was doomed to disappoint-
ment, for on September s, 1855, the allies
obtained possession of Sebastopol, and peace
was concluded the same year.
The later years of the regin of Alexa nder
II. have been disturbed by the war with Tur-
key, which was limited in its accomplishments
by the interference of the European powers,
and by the plots of disaffected subjects who
are known as Nihilists. The Nihiists have
responded to the arbitrary measures of re-
preston employed against them by threats
and assaults directed first at the persons of the
executive officers of the government. A few
years ago it was widely annnonced that the
revolutionary organization We uld thenceforth
hold the car himself responsible for oppres
sions by the government. Warnings to
that effect reached the car
al sundry times, on occasion of arrest and
punishment of propagandists of nihiiist or
revolutionary doctrines. The whole energies
of the police administration of Russia has for
several years been directed to the discovery
and suppression OF the secretly working rev.
olutionists, but without success, although
many persons have been arrested and sentenced
to Imprisonment or Siberian Punishment.
Less than two years ago, on occasion of a visit
by the car to Moscow, an attempt was made
to blow up his car by mine which had been
ingeniously constructed under the railway
line near the entrance to that city, A baggage
van was destroyed, but the emperor's car
escaped. A few months ago a
portion of the winter palace was blown up
and number of officers and guards killed
and wounded, but again the car escaped.
The third attempt by hand grenades or
bombs, has succeeded, and the fanatic revo-
lutionists of Russia may rejoice over their
accomplished revenge. But whatever of
good there may be in it their cause will suffer
by. it and whatever of evil remained to the per-
sonal and arbitrary government of their coun-
try will be strengthened by it. From the
day of C@sar's deatht to this. no good has
come to the world by assassination
Alexander II. will be succeeded by. Alexander
Ill, his son, who will be seventh czar of the
line which began with Peter Ill, in 1862.

Mr.. Garfeld's notion that it would not do
to appoint secretary of the treasury from
New York, because Wall street is in this
State, may at first blush strike country peo-
pie as evidence of the honesty Of the President.
On the contrary, it is only evidence of igno.
rance. Here, on the great financial stage OF
the country, is the spot where finances are
best understood.
And what is the effect of appointing west
ern backwoodsman, like Mr.. Window?
Why, from the very start such o man in
evitably drops right into the hands of some
Wall street parties, who thenceforth make the
policy of the treasury department. Mr.. Win
dom cannot go on fourteen days without
forming relations to some Wall street men
who will profit to the amount of fortune by
means of that relation.
Or, on the other hand, John Sherman will
continue to be virtually secretary of the treas

of Its responsibilities, and no longer scrupu.

would not like to touch while nominally

The theory that Western man, like Mr..

of the treasury are yet to be acquired.

4 Remarkable Coincidence.

NEW YORK, March 13.-The Tribune's
Washington dispatch says the news of the
death of the czar of Russia by the explosion
of an ineendiary bomb reached there early in
the afternoon and created some excitement in
the hotel lobbies and among office seekers.
The information came in special cable dis
patch from Minister Foster, at st. Petersburg,
to Secretary Blaine and was by him SUBJ
mltted to the President The records
of the state department contain some very
earnest expressions of sympathy on the part
of the Russian government upon the assassin.
alton of Abraham Lincoln, and it is rem ark
able coincidence that similar dispatch was
to-day sent, rendering the sympathies of our
government to the Russian imperial family,
because the chief of the nation had fallen by
the assassin's hand. The Russian minister
called at the residence of Secretary Blaine and
received from the secretary his first informa.

Scathtng Pastoral Letter against Land
League Leaders.
DUBLIN, March 1S.-The following is the
reference to the land league in Archbishop
McCabe's lenten pastoral: Let nobody accuse
us of want of sympathyIwith the great ques
ton of justice which now appeals to parlia-
ment for settlement. The cause is just and
holy and carries with it the bless
ings of religion. Amongst the ter
rible mistakes made formerly by the
rulers of this unhappy land there is
none perhaps which will exceed in folly that
which will now be committed if the vital
question of the tenure of land holdings is not
settled now and forever on just principles to
all. So convinced are we that a full and
honest settlement of this angry contest is es
sential to the temporal happiness and moral
and religious interests. of our countrymen,
that if sacrifice of our blood could lead to
the contamination of this grand-act of justice
we would make that sacrifice.
While we bless the end now aimed at, we
must again proclaim that some of the means
employed in the struggle cannot receive the
sanction of religion. The modesty of her
daughters was the ancient glory of Ireland,
but all this is now to be abandoned and her
daughters are summoned, under the fimsy
pretext of charity, to take their stand in the
noisy arena of public life. The
pretext of charity is merely as
sumed for already we have holy
associations of men and women who do works
of mercy for the poor and afflicted, and even
the harsh laws now coming in force have
mercifullY provided for the families of those
falling under their power. Irish women are
asked to forget the modesty of their sex by
leaders who seem utterly reckless of conse-
quences, and who by their recklessness have
brought misery on many families.
Reverend fathers, set your faces against this
dishonorable attempt. Do not tolerate in your
localities woman who so far disavows her
modesty as to parade herself publicly in a
character so unworthy of child of Mary
This attempt at degrading Irish women comes
very appropriately from men who have
drawn their country into its present
terrible deplorable condition. Deprived of the
safeguards of the constitution the people muy
become prey of perjured informers, men who
have sent their agent to fawn on notorious
infdels and revolutionists, and who, to escape
the odium of their act, abuse the Christian
politeness of the most venerable prelate and
fllustrious soldier of France, Cardinal Guibert,
archbishop of Paris, and Marshal Mcmahon.
These men and their agents, to forward their
views, were not ashamed to caluminate the
4 diocese whose prelates were formerly the
/ glory Of the Irish church, and who
were not afraid to warn their people when
misled by false friends and dangerous advisers
These are the sources whence come great
dangers to our faith. Let us pray the al
mighty he may scatter the enemies of his

WASHINGTON, March 7.-But for the sell
ish and narrow opposition Of part OF Inc
Indiana delegation in Congress, Judge walter
B. Gresham would now be secretary OF the
treasury. After Mr.. Window had been beaten
on Thursday, and Mr.. Allison had accepted
that place, the question was considered
as settled Before the fourth OF
March was many hours old Mr.. ALI
son changed his mind, and threw tne
whole programme into confusion. In tnis
dilemma the name of Judge Gresham was
suggested as one that would give general satls'
gallant soldier, had been firm and upright
Judge for eleven years, and was known 10
possess clear head and O prompt Judgment.
The suggestion was made to the Indiana
members Of Congress by Gen. Garfield, at the
White House, after the inaugural ceremonies.
Senator Harrison was not present. Some OF the
delegation expressed satisfaction with the pro-
posed appointment. But others, when they
saw the door openeA for Indiana, thought there
partment. Consequently, jealousy offered OBJ
jections, and the next day Mr.. Calkins, a
statesman of the tertiary formation, was rec
commended for seat in the cabinet. When
the self-satisfed committee who had created
secretary out of their own clay reached the
white House and laid their case before the
President with eloquent eulograms on Mr..
Calkins, Garfield painfully informed them
that they were too late. He had just sent the
nominations to the Senate. Indiana was,
therefore, left by the wayside, and Mr.. Calkins
will continue to figure in the House OF Repre-
sentatives.
Thus driven into corner by The timiditY Of
Allison and by the small jealousy of Indiana
politicians, Garfield was compelled to decide
the treasury quickly, for every hour OF delay
only increased his complications, and he was
anxious to be rid of the whole business. He
had refused absolutely to appoint an Eastern
man, and it was difficult to find the right one
in the West after what had occurred.
In this way the rejected Window was taken
as a last resort, and as Iowa had to be propi-
tiated, the interior was given to Mr.. Kirk
