lis worse man in proportion as he is un-
tit for the married state" He even ap-
proved of n man contracting second mar
riage, and considered it as compliment
to the first wife. He acknowledged how

of asking Mrs Johnson not to marry
again. She might we'll have granted his
request without any fear of being tempted

1oscow and the Coronation

The coronation of the czar that is to
take place on the oath of May at Mos
COW, will probably eclipse in magnif1-
cencs any ceremony that has so far
taken place in Russia. Already there
is no longer a single room to be had at
any of the hotels, and as much as $500
is asked for COUPLE Of rooms in back
streets for the period Of the festivals.
To engage a landau entails an expendi-
ture Of $500, and the prices will in
crease as the date of the ceremony
draws nearer. France means to do the
thing in grand style, a special credit of
$4,000 having been passed for the am-
bassador's extraordinary expenses.
Count de Montebello has engaged two
houses, and in one of them he proposes
to give a reception, to which 1900 guests
are to be invited; but SO great is the
number of persons who have already
made arrangements in view of the GER
emony that the French ambassador has
been unable to find stables. and has to
get some built for the occasion. A pop
ular festival is to be held at the Khod-
inskoe, in which 100000 people will be
able to take part-and much besides.
