THE CZAR OF RUSSIA.
ATLAS IN THE WORLD.
The rumors of the Emperor of Russia's abdication are again becoming prevalent. Should the Czar resign his throne it will be, I fancy, owing to a. failure of his mental and not his bodily powers. For years past it has been a very open secret to all who ever so little behind the scenes, that the gravest fears for his Majesty's sanity were entertained by his family. The dread of assassination, always strong with Alexander 11., has of late years grown into something very like a monomania, and the recent prolonged crisis in the East, and its consequent anxieties, has naturally done much to develop the Czar's mental maladies. A knowledge of the hold of its present occupant on the throne of All the Russias, and the well-known French proclivities of the Czarewitch, has probably not a little to do with the increasing coldness ot Prince Bismark towards Russia, and the touching; unanimity with which the German papers praise the policy of this country in the East.
