former days ordained that whenever a Car

all his titles and the various provinces over
which he ruled should be enumerated in or
der. This inconvenient mode of address
was Vigorously insisted upon in the address
OF a foreign Embsssador presenting his cre-

the Gar was not only "great lerd and EN-
peror OF all Russia, I" lord aud great Duke
OF Novgorod, of the low country - King
of kaZan and Astrakan," and commander
OF all Siberia" but also lord of Preko. Smo-

but the crown of Siberia, which finds a place
in the imperial regalia, was manufactured by
a ieweler of Moscow to commemorate the
conquest of that province under Ivan the
Terrible. The oldest of them is probably the
crown Of Constantine Monomachus, which
was sent from Constantinople as a present
to the Lord of Kew" in l1l6. The &C.
cession of most Cars and Czarinas has
added a new crown to the regalia. A new
crown was made for Nicholas, and the

imperial globes, thrones and sceptres are
ready to do duty when the Gar can screw
his courage to the sticking point. Nothing

from the old city, where the heart of Rus

human riches and power. A Cuisine says:
