"The coronation of the car" says
the Pail Mall Gazette, will bring
to light some curious and ancient
works ofart, which are only seen at long
intervals. The nucleus of the Russian
regalia is Byzantine, and of a great anti
guilty. It was sent by the Greek empe-
ror ofConstantine Monomachos to kief
in TIA by the hands of tho archbishop
of Ephesus and the bishops Of Mity!ene
and OF Antioch. OF this origin a treas
ure, first used at the coronatio2 of Vlad-
imir Vsevo1odvitch, the g. ,5n Of st.
Vladimir, several portions ire s,,t to ex-
list still uninured; in particular, \ jew
eled cross, bowl of gold inlaij with
mother-of-pearl which is said to belong
to the Roman Emperor Augustus, and
the imperial coronet of the autocrats of
Russia. This last ornament was used
upon every occasion down to the coron-
alton of Fedor Alexeievitch, since whose
reign it has been usual to place on the
cars head one ofthe two crowns made
for the occasion of the simultaneous en-
thronement of John and Peter Alexeie-
virch. The modern Iegalia of Russia, in
the midst of which the beauty of these
ancient and barbaric objects will be lost,
is said to possess no great artistic value.

Fight Between Gen Crook and the
Apaches.

A Wilcox, Ariz., special: From party
who has just arrived from ranch seventy
five miles east of Opoura is obtained inor-
nation confirming the report of the fight
Gen. Crook had with the Apaches rear
Guayanope. This party, an American,
states that the hostiles numbered fully $50,
and that they made stubborn resistance,
but were finally compelled to retreat south
ward toward the chihuahua side of the
Sierra Madres. ae states that Crooks loss
was small, but that there were over thirty
hostiles killed and left OH the field. That
there has been a fight, in which t e
hostiles were badly beaten, there is
not the least doubt. The fact
that twenty-one hostiles have returned to
San Carlos, together with the appearance of
small bands of hostiles seen at various
points, renders it no longer doubtful that
the hostiles, are badly demoralized and are
now breaking in small bands, hoping TO
elude Crooks vigilance, and escape north
wardly toward the reservation. The fight
occurred about ninety miles east of Oposwa.
The hostiles fought desperately but were
short of ammunition. Where the battle
took place has been one of their main
strongholds for hundreds ofyears. Most of
the hostiles retreated toward their last
stronghold, and should they risk another
battle will, in all probability be annihilated.

The tariff bill introduced into the

WHILE the Republican papers are
pouring cut the vials of their virtuous
wrath against Star Reuter- Dorsey for
exposing their wicked practices in the
contest of 1880, they should not forget
to remember that he was the Secretary
of their National Committee, the man
ager of their campaign and bosom
friend of Garfield, who, on the 14th of
October, $780,. wrote him as follows:
"MY DEAR DORSEY: 7 especially
congratulate you on your masterful
management of the campaign, and the
thoroughness with which you have
watched all the details and incidents
of the fight. Let me counsel you now
to take some much needed rest. and
save yourself for the final struggle soon

The Reduced Tariff ON Wool.

Hon. E. "A, Sgrague, of the Ohio
Wool Growers Association, addressed
the Columbiana County Wool Grow
ers' Association last Saturday. He said:
~" He proved by figures that the wool
growers of Ohio would lose just two
millions OF dollars by the reduction in
the tariff on wool. He denounced the
reduction as an iniquitous measure,
calling for prompt action on the part
of every wool grower in the country to
the end that. the tariff be increased,
and thereby the wool grower be pro-
tected from foreign competition. He
showed that the same law that reduced
the tariff on wool increased the tariff
on wooden goods. That was millions
in the pockets of Eastern manufactur-
ers. but an outrage on the wool grower
and every poor man, who wears fan
mel shirt.n

THE Philadelphia Record says @

lie ullducIPuld 1seCu|u says Vi
Foraker's Hamilton speech:
- The speech of Judge Foraker does
not read like popular or persuasive
effort. It is labored and dull, and con-
slant repetitiOns weaken even his best
arguments. These defects are of little
consequence except as indicating a
probability that he can not hope by
personal efoquence and winning-man-
ners to gain adherents not convinced
by his lOgic.o
Upon that part of the speech relating
to the tariff, the Record says:
Speaking in manufacturing town
where the protection element was we'll
represented, he made bold bid for the
protection vote by the assertion that
by means of protection we have built
up the industries of the country, null
tiplied their number and brought about
home competition to the extent of
cheapening these products below what
they could be bought for from other
nations-and, all this without cheap
ening labor, aud with increased pros
perity for the whole country Now,
the claim of protection is that it is
necessary to prevent the employers of
pauper labor in Europe from 80 un-
derselling our manufacturers as to
drive them out of business or compel
them to pay only pauper wages to their
work people. Judge Foraker distinct
ly repudiates this heory. He says that
home competition has cheapened man
ufactured products below what they
could be bought for from other nations
and all this without chsapening Ia
bor.' What, then, is the tariff good
for, since we can now undersell our
foreign competitors?n
