What NihiIists Seek.

There arc probably very few, if any,
living il this country who are more ia
niliar with the deep laid schemes Of
the nihiists to overthrow the govern
ment of Russia, and the preliminary
plottings for the accomplishment of this
end against the life of the late car,
than "W. C-ky," the nihilist cores
pondent Of the Springfield Rep bHcan,
otherwise known a. John Baker. A
reporter of the New York HcraM had
an interview with him. He said,
in reply to a question: "There are two
factions in Russia seeking change IN
who are Justly termed nihilists, and the
others, who suffer the odium Of the
name, but who are simply revolution
ists. Personally, | object to beng call
ed a nihilist, but there seems to be no
escape from the name. About three
weeks ago three agents OF the supreme
secret revolutionary government, the
chiefs Of which, mean the revolution

tirely different from the extreme radi-
Gals, sent by the underground railway,
which is peculiar to Russia at the pres
ent time, request for an audience
with the car, promising his personal
safety, and asking in return their own
safety. The object Of the proposed IN
teryiew was to lay before the car the
true condition. Of the country and to re-
quest him 70 conc and mix for a few
hours incognito with the people and
see for himself The car. who was
really good at heart, although weak IN
mind, granted the interview.

with them on the tour Of inspection as
suggested ?"
"He did so, promptly"
sDid he require any other than verb
al vouchers for his safety"

Starting Early Vegetables.

Window boxes answer nearly all the
purposes Of hotbed for a garden in
which the number Of plants required
is small. A kitchen window is prefera-
bic to any other, As the air is usually
more moist. Sow seeds iii window
boxes, and when the plants are up turn
the boxes every day, to bring the OPP
posite side to the light and keep them
from growing to one side. When the
seedlings get two or three rough leaves
those beyond the seed-leaves, they
should be picked out or planted IN
other similar boxes, setting them an
inch or more apart, according to kind.
Set the box outdoors in the middle Of
every mild day, or open the windows,
in order to harden the plants. The
kinds usually sown in hotbed5, frames
and window boxes are cabbages, cauli-
flowers and Others Of that family; let
tuce, tomatoes, peppers and egg plants;
the last two will do q month later. Gu
cumbers, melons and early squashes
NAV be star ed later, a few seeds to
i've plants enough for bill, IN small
box or four-inch pot. The roots OF
these are large and do not succeed IN 2
small pot.

How to Catch Cold.

1T is an undeniable fact" says the
Albany EIpreSS, "and every one must
remark it, that a favorite article Of win
ter clothing for children is comforter
swarthed around the neck. This is a
great error; the feet and wrists are the
proper members to keep warm; the
face and throat will harden into a
healthy indifference to cold, but that
muller exchanged for AZ extra pair Of
thick socks and knitted gloves would
keep a boy or girl really warm and
we'll Bronchitis and sore throat have
declined fifty per cent since the absurd
use of high collars and twice-around
neck-kerchiefs went out Of fashion;
and if the poor would take better care
Of their children's feet, half the in
fantile mortality would disappear. It
only costs trihe to puta piece Of thick
felt or cork into the bottom Of boot
or shoe, but the difference is often CON
siderable between that and a doctors
bill, with perhaps the undertaker's be-
sides.

And, in kindly word of advice to
the Russian government through the
embassy at Washington, suggest that
moderation be used, and that wisdom
shall take the place of folly Humani-
ty can stand only so much misery, and
when too much is put on why then
those who have sown must reap. There
is yet time to save the government
from a general upheaval by granting
what Turkey gave to her people ust
before the war-a constitution. If 1t
does not come within short period
the bastiles Of Russia Will be opened
by force, and sound republic will rise
in place of a rotten, despotic dynasty
"Do they propose to do away with
the Empire?'
"No. We fully recognize that the
people in Russia to-day ale not tit for u
republican form Of government, and
will not be for the next half century;
but they must have representative
form Of governments constitution,
and the abolition Of Siberia as place
Of Imprisonment for political prison

secure uniformity of practice in regard to
the results attained at different ports. The
impression had somehow got abroad that one
of the results of the conference would be
the raising of the classi6cations of sugars,

will be attained, and that there will be gen.
eral lowering instead of raising in the classi-

conference.-the desired end of the delib-

tice just and equitable alike to importers and
the government. The question of fixed

Haydn's oratorio of the Creation" which
is to be presented here on the evening of the
18th, is an event of no small moment in the
progress of our town. and should receive
that substantial sort of encouragement which
its importance demands. We have, for many
years past, been noted as rather immusical
town, not so much on account of any real
lack of musical ability, as from lack of mu-
steal culture and that common effort toward
musical progress which is SO necessary
among musical people, where improvement
is sought for. Our chorus singing has hith-
erto been confined to an occasional "singing
school," or operetta. and it is to the efforts
of Mr.. Torrens, to which we owe the organ
ization of a select chorus formed for the
purpose of producing the fine music of the
"Creation." Mr.. T. has been ably sustained
by the labors of his talented wife, and also by
Mr.. Amos Abbott and other local musicians
of public spirit. The soloists will consist
of Mrs. II. F. Knowles, soprano; Mr.. q. w.
Want, tenor; Mr. ID. NJ. Babcock, bassO !;
Mr.. j. A. Howard, pianist;- all from Bos-
ton. These soloists are well known in this
vicinity, and are all more or less favorites.
