A HlHlLIST STORY.
A Russian Sensation That Reads
Like Romance.
The Secret Of the Recent Raid
on the PiOtfers.

ST.. PETERSBURG. November %
A great stir was made in the Nihilist
camp BY the following discovery;
About a year ago 4 jew named e. IT,.
was denounced by some person who
had q private score to settle With him
and was arrested, After he had been
asked a few questions it became clear
he was one ofthe ehiefmtmbers ofthe
Central Revolutionary Committee.
He made q clean breasl oft aud de-
nounced over sixty Of bis accompliees
and took the police to his laboratory
on the banks Of the Neva, where SIX
men we're captured in the very act Of
manufacturing dynamite. A large
supply Of explosives was found in the
laboratory. As q result Of this treaeh-
cry several persons were sentenced
and two men named T~wiatowsky and
Poishniakif hanged in October, 1857.
A few days %afterward the authorities
announced the death Of G. G The
body, horribly mutilated and disfg-
ured, was handed over to some jew
ish friends Of the dead man and buried
in Isaac Cemetery. The affair made
A GREAT SENSATION
at the time, and it was believed &C
had been murdered in prison eithel
BY the authorities or by some avenginl
Nihiists. When the body reached
the Jewish burning ground the Rabb
refused to receive it without a GER
ti6cate Of identity One Of the siI
gen d'armes, which had escorted thi
body, went back TO the fortress ant
presently returned with the dealt
certificate filled up with G.. G.'s name
and apparently perfectly regular
The Rabbi was convinced thereby tn
corpse was really that Of a Jew. ant
the funeral was allowed to take place
G. @. ALIVE AND TURNS TRAITOB
The astonishing revelations made +
the police lately, Of the numerous ar
rests made in consequence, aud th,
certainty with which Baranof an,
his successor, Kislow, we're evident,
operating, set the Nihilists at work b
find ont the mar who was proving S,
destructive to them. Investigation
were iruitless for a long time, but a
last, chance put them on the track 0
their d~enouncer, who turns out to benz

turned traitor on three conditions
first, that he should have a free par

fortress should be proclaimed an,
fully attested third, he should b
given 10000 roubles to get to Amer

charms. No writer Of modern times
has stood the terrible ordeal of having
his "remains" exposed TO view better
than he. How often do VIC find that
when private letters are ruth
lessly printed by the literary I'M
dertaker they show the supposed genial
humorist to have been at home arid
and sapless, tho philosopher to have
been peevish and malevolont, and the
man Cf apparently endless genius to
have been sadly limited There is a
dreary background Of pettiness aud
dullness aud fatness to so many a lit
erary mans public life. But the edi-
tors of these letters, far from doing
their relatives memory harm, have
helped to reveal the richness and
beauty Of his nature. He wrote, we
here see, just as we'll to a friend about
a matter concerning only themselves
as he did when he spoke urbi ct orbi,

The Way she Identified Him,

Detroit Free Press.
A few DAYS ago man called at a
house on Fort street east and asked Tor
a bite to eat. lie was refused, and
shortly after he left cloak was missing
from the halltrce. The police were no.
titled, and the other day when they ar
rested man on suspicion, they sent
for the woman TO come down TO the
city hall and identity him. When she
was asked IL she was certain that she
could identify the man who had called,
she replied:
Identify him. Why, | could pick
him out from among crowd oil ten
thousand
She was then confronted with the
prisoner. She gave him good looking
over and said:
"Oh, YOU can't fool me, You've had
your hair dyed from black to red since
YOU asked for cold pancakes, hut Id
know you il | saw you in Texas"
The captain here observed that he
never hestd of black hair being dyed
red, and after brief examination he
asserted that the prisoners hair had
not been dyed.
"WelL. | may possibly be mistaken
about his hair" said the woman, "but
III swear to that overcoat. | took
good look at II as he went Off the steps,
aud | know it's the coat and the man.
particularly noticed that the third but
ton from the top OF his overcoat was
missing"
The captain quietly informed her that
il WAS an overcOat he had borrowed
within the hour and asked the prisoner
10 slip on. The woman wouldn't give
in for some time, but finally said;
"Well, might have been mistaken,
but looked square into his eyes, and i
know this is the man.
What color did you say his eyes
were?"
"Blue
"But this mans eyes are black-cosl
black y
So thew were. The woman was
dumb with astonishment fer a time, but
finally said:
Didn't this man wear SLOUGH hat
when arrested
No, ma am; he wore a cap" said the
captain.
"And don't you think he is the right
man."
IL don't think anything about it, as |
never saw him until an hour ago.
"is it positively necessary that iden-
tiiy him as the man?
NO"
Then guess won't. Facts, | was
a little Hurried that morning. and do
not think got a fair sight OF the fellow.
Besides that, think the cloak was stol.

The Negro Creed and Hymnology

Frank Dingley's letter to Lewiston Journal.
The ouaintest stories are told about
Arkansas negroes and their religious
life, They are straight Baptists, and re-
gard everything else as heresy. One OF
them met Col. Fordyce, an old resident
OF Hot Springs, the other day, and ask
ed the colonel whether he Was Chris
tian.
81 was brought up Methodist" he
replied. ~
Baptist. You'll see a good deal in de
Bible about John de Baptist, but neber
a word about John de Methodist"
The colonel was finding fault with one
OF his men, that he did not work well,
he had to attend SO many protracted
meetings. He said he did not like to
hire preachers to work. John is not a
preacher" said Cutfee, "he's 'zorter.'
what is the difference between
preacher and an eIhOrter"
Why" said Cutlee, "you know
preacher must take pint Cd be Bible
and stick to it, but 'zorter, he can
branch" suiting the remark TO avery
Tightly gesture.
Not long since the colonel attended a
Baptist colored meeting. AS soon as
he was seated the preacher arose and
said: "Bredren, let us sing hyme."
One OF the bredren then get up the
following in stentorian strains:
"Satau came hoppin long same as flea
Saii !, ole satan, you cant kotch me.
Said |, ole Satan, you KUN too late,
Use dOnO got ober de gospel gate.
lfyou kotch me III git up again
Washed in &c blood Oh de Lamb
Another hymn went this way:
"An' wear my bran new shoes,
An neber get de blues,
When ole Gabriel comes u tooun on his
horn" etc.
There is a wide field for interesting
study in the South, both among the
poor whites and blacks.

after which we again listened TO music, a solo
entitled Clear and Cool
The Salutatory, by Carrie Z. Pelton, was
then delivered in manner deserving of
much praise, in spite of the confusion before
referred to while in her essay on "The Les
son of Dew-drop," she drew many pretty
illustrations from Natures ever open book"
An Grafton, =" Blemishes," by G. w. Corn
ish, showed much thought, and was spoken
in manner highly pleasing to his hearers.
Duet, Silver Moon"
q. w. Showers then gave us "A Glimpse
at Papacy," while NJ. @. Smith spoke of
"Modern Enterprise" and suggested the
great possibilities of the future. Both of
these pieces were nicely written and well
rendered.
Another solo, The Three Fishers" was
finely executed, after which Anna s. Randall
read al essay entitled From Sunrise to Sun
set" and az she spoke of the time when
"Life's low sun is sinking slow and sad" the
hush that fell over the room showed that she
carried her audience with her.
z. w. George delivered the Valedictory,
which contained many beautiful thoughts,
and gave evidence of quite poetical mind
Again we were enlivened by music, Voices
of the Night after which the diplomas were
conferred, with few well chosen remarks
| by Prof. Martin, who was about to resume
his seat when Miss Randall called his atten-
ton, and in behalf of the class, presented
him a very beautiful silver card receiver, ex.
pressing hope that every time the card OF
some new friend was added, it might serve
to remind him of the old. Mr.. Nj. seemed
quite non-plussed, but soon recovered suffi
GENTLY to return his thanks for this token Of
their esteem.
Then very sweet song by the class, ant
the benediction by Rev. L. L. George, CLOSED
the exercises.
l must not omit TO mention the profusior
of lovely flowers collected by the lowel
girls from the appreciative audience. Con
spicuous among them were several baskets
sent from the city, by absent friends.
After all was over, the people dispersed tC
their homes feeling well satisfied with tn,
evenings entertainment.
