A Nihilist's Confession.

An extraordinary story, which could
scarcely possess stronger title to dis
credit than the fact that st. Petersburg
correspondent sent it to Paris paper,
has just been made public. The story
runs that young nihilist called upon
the Chief of Police in st. Petersburg, a
short time ago, and, on being admitted
to his presence, avowed himself men,
Der of a revolutionary party, and stated
that he had been sent to warn the EN-
peror that if he granted constitution
he need fear no conspiracy, but that if
he persisted in his reactionary policy
nothing could save him. At this point
inthe interview the police officer seemed
anxious to call in assistance, but the
young nihilist stopped him and added:
81 do not wish to be subjected to the
indignity of torture. In coming here l
have sacrificed my life. 1 could have
killed you, but we do not commit MUIR
der uselessly." With these words he
stepped back few PAGES, and knocked
two large buttons, with which his cuffs
were fastened, against his forehead.
The buttons being full of an explosive
substance, burst, and inflicted such
wounds on the young man that he ex-
pired in a few moments, leaving no
trace as to his identity.

A Strange Disease.

A most remarkable case came under
the notice of Coroner LeMonnier on
Saturday last, at Tunisberg, about three
miles below the canal street ferry land
ing in Algiers. He was about to cross
the ferry when DIR. Magruder, OF Al
giers, came aboard the ferry and
informed him that he had been summon
ed to attend a mulatto man named David
Ernest, at Trepagnier plantation, but
that before he arrived the patient had
expired, and consequently the services
of DIR. LeMonnier were needed.
The coroner at once proceeded to
Trepagnier's place, and there found
the body of Ernest as reported. He
immediately proceeded to hold post
norton examination, when he ascer-
tanned that the negro had died of ma
lignant pustules of Charlton. This di-
sease, which affects cattle in the cpl
demic form, is usually conveyed by the
bite of an insect, and is very deadly in
its effects.
From investigation and questions
prOpounded by DR.. LeMonnier it was
ascertained that Ernest was at work in
the field at MIR. Trepagnier's plantation
Oh w OOACOOdJ 1dSbs NACA AO was SLunS
on the chin or lip by an insect which
he at the time supposed to be wasp or
fly. The pain was Immediately follow
ed by swelling of the face in the re-
gion of the sting, and three hours
afterward fever set in and continued
with undated violence until the patient
died. The swelling extended itself
downward as far as the shoulders and
up the RICH side of the face 10 the eye,
and on Saturday morning Earnest died.
DIR. .LeMonnier found the body in a
normal condition but for the swelling
in the lower pant of the face, chin and
upper portion of the neck. The swell
ing was hard and edematous, or filed
with water. Both lids of the eyes were
swollen and also filled with water. The
lips were blush black and phlectyneous,
or, in PLAIN English. were covered with
pimples. From the character of the
swelling, the high fever. the death of
the patient, and the history of the case.
DR.. LeMonnier was certain that the di-
sease was Charlton, and gave a certifi-
cate to that effect.
The doctor covered the face of the
corpse carefully, and forbade any per-
son approaching the body for fear of
contagion, and the charity wagon was
sent for, and on Saturday noon the body
was buried.
Inquiry in the vicinity failed to de-
velop any cases of Charlton among the
animals on the plantation.
Cases of this kind are of very rare
occurrence, and but few physicians
have met with any in their practice,
although they are said to occur occas-
ionally in the Tethe country. Ernest
was about 65 years of age. and a native
of Maryland. He had, however, been
residing in New Orleans and vicinity for
the past forty years.-NeCO Orleans Pic
