When the procession reached the cathe-

ter and sacred books. The m%etropoli-

mony was of the most impressive char
acter and lasted nearly two hours.

H RUSSIAN EMPEROR.
Some Information Abou His Title and Il

Some Information About His Title and the
Titles s.orne by His Family.
London Daily News: DIR. Wilhelm
Koerner, professor at the Royal Acad-
envy of War in Berlin, writes to us:
".In your paper 1 find a short article
about the title OF the Russian emperor.
As this question seems to interest the
British public. allow me, who am ono
of the few specialists of. Russian lam
guage in Germany, to give u few au-
thentic statements on the
subject. The word 'tsar' (tor
thus it should be spelled and
be pronounced, with a slight
addition OF the %consonant " behind
~ is derived from the Latin Caesar
having one common source with the
German word kaiser 1t is the old
Russian, or even Slavic, term for king,
but has, in this meaning, been super
seeded by the word 'korol' pronounced
karoD, which draws its origin from
Karl, viz, Charles the Great. The
Hungarian word 'kiraly.' meaning
king, has the same origin.
Tar now means in Russia ~ a
king Of ancient history-Xerxes, Ly-
curgus, Pharaoh, ETC.; (a) IL king OF
fable, fairy tale. etc; (s) some OF
the dispossessed Russo-Asiatic princes;
"a a rather ~colloquial ex-
preston for the Russian
emperor. His consort is called .tsar.
ttsa;' a son OF his. in the same popular
language, tsarew,ch; a daughter,
'tsarewna.' But the official words are
'imperator,' Emperor; 'imperatvitsa,'
empress; their children are called
'weliki knyas' (meaning great prince),
and 'welikaja lsnyajnn' great prin-
cess. When Peter the Great returned
to his new capital in triumph, after de-
feating Charles the Twelfth OF Sweden,
he was hailed by the metropolite with
the title of i%nperator; since that time
the word .tsar. till then the only name
denoting the rulers of Russia, is no
longer their official title. In some con
gress Cf am not mistaken, it was that
of Vienna) it had been expressly stipu.
lated that though the Russian sover-
eigns had the imperial title, they were
not to have the precedence of the kings
