Two Ceronations.
"A coronation happened few days ago,
and another will follow few weeks hence,
il it is not blown sky-hjgh by some of the
monarch's happy subjects, which suggest
some fine contrasts. The crowned mon
arch is Kalskaua, majesty of all the Ha.
waiian islands. The monarch TO be crowned
, is Alexander III, car OF all the Russias.
An unpreiudiced consideration OF the con-
| trasis between them cannot but result in
the conviction that Kalakaua is the more
| fortunate of the two, though he has no
power at all, while Alexander is an auto

named Gibson to run his kingdom for him,
and tell him what TO do IN every emer-

crown or sceptre, but Gibson thought it
was little behind the times for his mon
arch to rule any longer without the GUS
tomary insignia, so he fitted him out in
| COOP shape. He bad two thrones built, lone

Kalakaua, both OF real gold and both cost
ing the same, so that there should be no

| respective values of their headgear. The
car OF Russia, on the other hand, nust be
crowned, though there has never been an
event In his life to which he has looked for

aud come down without any further use for

The ceremonies attendant upon the coro-
nation of Kaakaua were gorgeous. There
was nothing mean about Gibson in giving

| had 10 foot the bills, and Gibson did not
| stint in anything, though the natives are AS
mad as wet hens about it, as they have no
