carrying out his cruel and barbaric cr needs against the
Incipient rebelliou in Poland, a young student of that
country, attending the University of Goroat, returned
looms one day with haU-a-dosen companions whom he bad
prowled to entertain In his fathees house. They entered,
and • sliest ly spectacle met their view. The whole family
lay massacred; while the mother and sister of the young
Pol. bad been hatefully outraged by, Yourawiers brutal
soldiery, drunk with woosiky. The students, struck
dumb with horror, stood silent on the floor, while the
bereaved toy at down by a little table, on which was
laid hie right band, while his left hung loosely by his side..
At first his companions, who were Ranh= every one toe

si-lves and their country. But suddenly the face of the
Pole became pale and death-like, and from his glassy eyes
tears began to stream over his downy cheeks. Terrified
and elv,king with grief his companions, approaching,
exclaimed, "Stanielas, /Rental's, con ie to yourself again,

tie utizin of Nihilism, which ever since has carried on a
ear the most desperate, and which now claims as its
latest victim the august ruler of more than 80 millions of
people. They were students who first connected the con-
spiracy, they were students and men and women of the
student class who have since mainly swellen its ranks,
and, as the current reports go to show, Nihilism has
found in studetite the instruments of its latest and moit
terrible vengeance.

Numerous arrests base rece•ntly been made. In the
possewion of one man, 700.000 roubles were found; In
that of another, a revolver, dagger, poisonous pills, and
200 00 rouble,.
