 Barons goods. He was shown into the
 study of Lopresti and, while making an in-
 ventory of the contents, saw the door sud
 denly open to admit savage wolf, which immediately attacked him. He was severely
 bitten by the wolf, and only escaped further l harm by climbing to the top of an enormous
 stove. Finally, it was determined by the au
 thorities that the military should be used to force the defiant Baron to terms, but as soon l as he learned of this he caused it to be de clared in public that the castle had been so undermined with dynamite that any attempt to force an entrance into it would bring on | an explosion. Further efforts against him appear afterward to have been abandoned When he died it was found that his dynamite l threat was based on fact, for in the cellar
 were concealed three cartridges, each weigh ing nine pounds. His arrears for taxes had reached a total of more than 30, GOO lorins 1 Sir Garnet Wolseley, the new Adjutant General of the British Army, has risen rap- l idly to his present place; though his military l services have not been very remarkable. His appointment is said to be very displeasing to
 
 1 Chief Mir. Jennings, the London core spondent of the New York World, thinks that Sir Garnet's rise has been much helped by the press, which he has taken pains to please. MT. Jennings says s'The moral of the whole story-and it is one which is wortL the attention of military men and all others who wish to get on-is simply this: Be sure to make friends with the newspapers. Do not be unc1vil or distant to them, as Lord Raglan was, but cordial, not to say obsequj. ouS as Sir Garnet has always been. Publi, opinion always decides everything, and de cides it very quickly, and there is nothing that moves public opinion like the press do not cry out there is nothing like leathe, because happen to be connected with the leather trade; I merely give the result of i'm partial observation and experience. If it ii worth while to pay for advertising in news paper, surely it is worth while to get first class notice' in the editorial columns without paying for 1t. And how many such netices Sir Garnet has secured in the 7lnaes and oth- CT papers, and see where he is to-day in con sequence of them. A different method wal tried by Lord Raglan, and we know how it ended. Great is the newspaper. A man who starts out in life oblivious to that fact will soon have it brought to his attention il a manner more or less unpleasant The Duke of Cambridge would doubtless confirm the truth of this saying if he were disposed to talk frankly on the subject"
 A correspondent in the Baltic provinces z-ritoS &r O Gorrooy, +bok ba bo1 succeeded in learning much about the organ ization of the Nihilist party in Russia. The present Russian Social Revolutionary parti- sans are, he says, united into different groups, which are rather loosely allied to one another than welded into compact whole There is a sort of general direction of the whole exercised by certain in fuential persons, who may be called the Central Group, since they send out com missaries or organizers to each of the prin cipal groups, the ''Narodni' and the ''Bunta ri" The ''Narodni' (whose journalistic or, gan is IAe Land and tue People, carries on it's propaganda in the country districts; it forms subordinate groups among the peas antry. But it aims also at the students, the common soldiers and the artisan population and hence has now added city groups to its country organizations. The ''Narodni" is un- { doubtedly revolutionary and socialistic but it is not nearly so extreme-not to say rabid as the main group of Nihilism. The Bun tari,'' or Terrorists (whose public organ is I Ihe WSW of the People, does not shrink from \ open recommendation of crimes against life ! and is largely occupied with frightening the I quiet in the land by issuing denunciatory ! proclamations of s'the Executive" The \ writer believes that the strength of the party, l as tested by the number of it's adherents, is I exceedingly small-far smaller than is usual | ly imagined either in or out of Russia. Its most zealous members are young students and workmen, and in the large cities it's cat alogue includes a considerable number of l thieves and other criminals. The writer says further that there is good evidence to show that the capital expended by this party is very much more largely drawn from foreign than from home sources.
