ALEXAITDEB THE GREAT.
Oonqneror of the Earth, Oonquered
by Ifeink.
CoKSTASTEfOPLE, Feb. 29. Tho sar
cophagus containing the body of Alex
ander the Great has been discoTered
at, Saida.
"Imperial Cesar, dead and turn
ed to clay," was supposed to have
left, in Shakspeare's time, enough
of his poor mortal tenement to
"stop a hole, to keep the wind
if this has indeed been discov
ered, the explorers will probably
find, after a lapse of over 2200
years, as little of the ashes of poor
mortality as they would discover
in the unknown grave of Moses,
could that also be found. It is
said of Alexander that his body
was deposited in a golden coffin
at Alexandria by Ptolemaeus, and
over it was raised a splendid mau
soleum, and divine honors were
paid to him, not only in bgypt,
but in other countries. If the
sarcophagus which the above quot
ed dispatch says has been found
at Saida contain tho gold coffin,
that circumstance will tend to
confirm the reality of the supposed
discovery. If the stone sepulchre
that has now been found should be
really proved to have contained
the " body of the old world con
queror it would only be anew and
eloquent sermon to the -people of
to day on tho ephemeral and un
real character of any phase or story
of earthly "greatness" that rests
upon military conquests and mili
tary glory.y Alexander conquered
all the countries then known even
to India; he was the. world con
qnercr who "sighed for more
worlds to conquor." He establish
ed Greek kingdoms throughout
Asia, some of which in India out
lasted him for centuries; he taught
Europe the road to India; he se
lected the site and. founded the
cityol Alexandria, the Egyptian
aietropolis which was to be made
the great depot of ,the exchange
of t)ie ancient cast and west, a
selection which time" and tho r?.J
fortunes of the c'.ty have shown to
have been sagacious. He had
plans, perhaps not wholly imprac
ticable, for the union of .Europe
and Asia; and encouraged art, sci
enco and the literature of thut
time. His seems to have been an
impulsive and not unkind or un
generous nature; but ho showed
himself capable of atrocious acts,
like theburning-of Persopolis, tho
cruelties to conquered Tyre; and
he was a vain, belf-Eeeking and
self-indulgent 'man. That he
should have changed tho current
of human history in his brief ca
reer of twelve years and have con
quered the world before he was
thirty, and died at thirty-two,
'would be enough to stamp him as
an extraordinary man. As a mili
tary leader he possessed, undoubt
edly, a marvellous power of com
bination, of shaping means to
circumstances, of dealing with the
necessities of the moment, in
which bis only peers in any age of
the world, were Hannibal or iNa
poleon. That he was unable to
bear his great success, and sunk
into debauchery and drunken ca
rousals, like the prolonged "drunk"
that finally carried mm off atiiab-
ylon, was in a sense due to the
age in which he lived. 1 hat bis
coffin should be discovered now,
at the close of the nineteenth cen
tury of an era, the dawn of which
he never lived to aee, or to imag
ine, is one of the strange occur
rences which seem to connect the
present times directly with antiqui
ty while tne dusty emptiness of
the coffin will tell its own story of
the vanity of human greatness
which all ends in dust
Heaped over with a mound of grass,
Two handfuls of white dust, shut in an
urn of .brass!
The time was when the man
whose earthly body is now repre
sented by some specks of dust was
deemed so great that even his de
baucheries were heralded as the
occurrence of .something godlike.
An army of half a million men was
apprised by blare of trumpets
that Alexander was drinking.
