A NIHILIST ROMANCE.


graph in the Geneva papers mentioned,
in the guarded language which it is the
local usage to employ in such cases, the
tragical deaths of Russian revolution
list and his wife. He had died of a
painful and lingering illness, through
which his wife had nursed him with
heroic devotion, and within an hour of
his death she was found lying by his
side, also dead, and both were covered
with the same winding sheet. Know
ing something of the ways of Russian
refugees, it struck me that this event
was the denouement of some terrible
story of real life. made inquiries, and
a Russian gentleman who was in
timately acquainted with the unhappy
pair was good enough to communicate
to me the following narrative, which,
besides being in itself deeply interest
ing, throws vivid light on the causes
of Russian discomfort and the character
and methods of the enthusiasts who,
whatever we may think Of the means
they occasionally employ, are men OF
truly heroic mold, and never hesitate to
sacrifice all they hold dear for the adj
vancement of the cause to which they
have devoted themselves. These men,
the soi-disant Nihilists, are known in
Western Europe chiefly as political
party of extraordinary energy and re-
source, engaged in a mortal struggle
with a trueulent despotism. They are
men whose exploits from time to time
thrill the world with horror, and whose
courageous deaths extort even the adj
miration of their foes. 1t is only on
rare occasions that the veil which
.shrouds the mystery of what may be
called their home lives (albeit few of
them have homes) is withdrawn; for
the Nihilists say little of themselves,
and it is not in the nature of things that
the outer world should know what they
do not choose to reveal. One Of these
occasions was the death of Andre Fran
ioli and his wife, and my informant pos
:sessed full knowledge Of the romantic
and touching story of their lives. This
gentleman, I may add, has himself
played an important part in the Russian
revolutionary movement; nobody is
better acquainted than he with Under
ground Russia and his name is not
unknown in England. give the story,
word for word, as he gave it to me:
Andre Franjoli, born in one of the
Black Sea provinces despite his name,
of Russian parents one of the old
est and most respected members of our
young revolutionary party. Although
at the time barely twenty one years old,
he took part in the great propagandist
movement of 1928, which opened in
Russia the era of revolution. It was
a time of vague yet noble warnings of
"a visionary socialism of dreams Of uni
versal happiness to be obtained by the
sole force OF teaching and example.
Franioli accepted the new faith with all
the ardor Of youth. A missionary by
vocation and conviction, impression
able and passionate, enthusiastic to ex-
ultation, he personified that religious
idea which, despite their professed ma
terialism, is the leading motive of the
apostles of Russian revolution. His
faith ii the redemption Of the oppressed
and the future of humanity seemed to
be inspired by revelation rather than
based on reason. His devotion had in

- THE GAY YOUNG NAN FROM
TOWN.

With fork in hand, one summer day,
Making feint of tossing hay,
aked w y4na aa w loa and brown
With hazel eyes and chestnut mar,
And quiet way and modest air;
Nor did he seem to care or know
That her blush was quick and voice was low,
For merely to fiirt with the maiden brown
Was the aim OF the gay young man from town.
AT incoming next the young man sat
Beneath an apple tree-sour at that
And chatted with Susy such her name)
About the city from whence he came,
Its long, wide avenues, buildings vast,
It's ease and luxury unsurpasseu:
While she, with a bashful air and shy,
Dropped low each eyelid over its eye,
"A deep flush reddening features brown
AT words of the gay young man from towA.
Some days he had spent in this rural spot,
Where health was plenty, and style was not;
Had left his club and his friends behind
For life that was true and unconfined,
With study dhe latest novel; worn,
With loss of his hunting-dog forlorn,
And because of sad dispute he had
With his :" governor"-thus he styled his dad.
All this he explained to the maiden brown,
With sigh, this gay young man from town.
First days, then weeks, and where Susy went
The steps of the gay young man were bent,
And sentiment followed flirting then,
As CHANGED to many man of men:
For he found his pulses quicken and stir
Whenever he saw or thought of her.
Anu ledTIGu doIlc 10 uFeaIl anu sign,
Or stanmer and blush when she was nigh;
The eyes and blush of the maiden brown
Had captured the gay young man from town.
so he told his love- and as he bent
In hope and fear to ask consent
He told her the real reason why
He hal cast his home and kinsfolk by:
His father had babe him settle in life.
And had chosen for him a proper wife,
- Who did not stand on her worth alone,
With rich old father, and cash of her own"
But he fed from her and his fathers frown,
And found his fate afar from town.
THE maiden listened well the while.
And over her features came a smile.
Her father, she told him, had plan
To make her wife to a gay young man
- Who did not stand on his worth alone,
With a rich old father and cash of his own
Reputed he was handsome catch;
But she objected to such a match.
And, afraid to face her fathers frown,
Had fed to her old nurse here from town.
He stared; she smiled. Around her waist
His arm in loving way he placed.
- In spite of will we must confess
THE old folk triumph, nevertheless;
1t seems we ran from love away,
And lived to love another day;
And, plighted. going back again.
Our sires will laugh at us-what then?
TITS better far to laugh than frown'-
We're the words of the gay young man from
town.

After the death of Alexander Ii. they
left st. Petersburgh-Which had become
more dangerous than ever-for the
south of Russia, and from that time
forth, owing to Andres increasing
weakness, they were unable to take any
further part in the revolutionary move
ment. Early in the present year it
was deemed expedient for them to leave
Russia, and in May last they arrived in
Geneva. where they received warm
welcome from many old and faithful
friends. But death was written in An
dre's face, and none who saw him could
doubt that the end was near. Eugene
never left his side; her devotion was
heroic, and the calmness of her manner
and the serenity of her spirit surprised
all who were admitted to her intimacy.
We knew afterward that it was the Sc
renity of irrevocable resolve, a resolve
neither in life nor in death to be sepa-
rated from him she loved.
At nina o'clock on the morning of
August Z, Andre, after cruel sutferings,
closed his eyes forever. 1t is fin
ished, said Eugene, turning to a friend
who was with her; sshis troubles are

ranged the chamber carefully, as if she
expected a solemn visit, and dismissed
her friend with the remark that. after
so many sleepless nights, she felt the
need of rest. When left to herself she

In ancient times there were pom
derous implements called battering
rams" which we're much in demand,
especially when some great conquer
or had resolved on new conquests.
In those days they were used as i'm
plements of war, and were very eff
fective in making breaches in the
walls of fortified cities. We do not
now call to mind, from ancient his
tory, the capture of more tLan 4 sin
gle walled city, in which the batter
ing ram was not called into play.
Our readers will readily call to mind
that piece of history when we men
ton that very much loud noise con-
stituted the principal visible feature
of the attack. In those days, how
ever, the implement named was
used exclusively as an implement of
war. 1t was, we believe, left for
a Tennessean to bear off the distin-
guished honor of so modifying the
machine as to adapt it to political
purposes. 1t will be remembered,
however, that the implement was
80 constructed in that instance
that the recoil was far more effec-
tive than the direct blow. The use
of the implement resulted in the to-
tai defeat of the attacking force.
We are, therefore, surprised to see
that the proposition 10 now made to
construct two new machines and set
them in operation upon and near
the scene of the recent disastrous
experiment We shall regret it If
it is done, for in these days Of ad-
vanced civilization, the rules of civ
Hired warfare ought to be observed,
and emily such weapons ought to be

bic men can approve. We hope,
therefore, that the present l0gisla-

A GLASS PEA TIE ELEPHANT.


The Raleigh Netos tells this story
of how a North Carolina tar heel
secured first class elephant: Some
time ago Mr.. w. ID. MeAdoo, pro-
prietor of the popular McAdoo
house, in Greensboro, wanted a plate
of glass in size 22x32 inches, and
wrote to a New York house to send
it to him, and to draw on him at
sight for the pay. Now, it might
have been all right, but Mr.. McAdoo
wrote {" fee" instead of "inches."
The New York firm on receiving
the extraordinary order, the glass
wanted being described as fine
French plate, concluded that there
must be same mistake, and tele-
graphed Mr.. McAdoo ia substance
as follows: ' Haven't you made a
mistake? In all of our thirty years
experiences we have never received
an order of this sort Mr.. McAdoO
confident that he was correct, tele-
graphed that he wanted what he
ordered and for them to send it
along The firm, not yet satisfied,
wrote him a letter, stating that they
would not be able TO fill the order,
unless they were to import the glass,
and to this Mr.. McAdoo replied I:
" Go ahead and import" In the
course of time, Mr.. McAdeo was as
tonished at receiving a bill of lad
ing for piece of French-plate glass,
one i ch thick, thirty-two feet long
and twenty-five feet wide, shipped
on steamer from France to Norfolk.
The immense piece of glass, care
fully boxed, was carried across the
ocean on the steamers deck and was
laid on the wharf at Norfolk
where it now remains. There is no
possible way to transport it over
land by rail, as it would not pass
through the cuts along the railroad,
nor could it go through the covered
bridges. No doubt if Mr.. McAdoo
could get it to Greensboro he would
find some use for il, but how to get
it there is the question. In the
meantime the plate of glass is lying
on the wharf at Norfolk waiting his
orders. 1t cost him So, 100.

Another enormous defalc9tion has
come TO light at Lawrenceburg,
Massachusetts. The Roman Cath
Ollie officials at that place some years
ago organized a sort of banking in
stitution called "The Augustian So
ciety." 1t was chartered by the leg
islature and its chief object was TO
receive and make use of the funds
of the parishioners of the church.
Since 1881 the dePositors have had
difficulty in securing deposits, and
claims have been entered against it.
The depositOrs are principally fac
tory operatives, and number about
200, who have saved by the closest
economy from $500 to $1,000. There
are a number of business men, how
ever, holding deposits of from S.
900 to $4,000. At n late meeting
the depOsitors were informed there
was no money in the bank. The &C
tual debt of the Society Is put down
at S54O, 900. III. .....

In the Senate, on the 18th, the
consideration of the bill increasing
the pensions of soldiers and sailors
who have lost a leg or an arm in
the service, was resumed. A mo-
ton by Mr.. Harris to postpone in
definitely the consideration of the
bill, led to considerable debate, dur
ing which the merits and dement's
of the measure were freely discuss
ed. The motion was defeated

ment proposed by Mr.. Vest to
strike out the equivalent disability
clause was rejected-yeas. 20; nays,

posing to grade pensions for loss OF
hand, arm, foot or leg from S24 to
$40 per month was next considers
ed. Several amendments to this
were proposed and rejected. Mr..
Ingalls,, in the course of some re-
marks in opposition to a proposition
to increase the pension for the loss
of one eye, stated that he would
vote, against this amendment for
the same reasons that he voted
against other proposed amendments
not because he thought it was urg-
ent, but because it seemed obvious &c
him that the Senate must pass this
bill as it came from the House, or il
would fail to become law this SEES

Mexican veterans who are in needy

Williams vehemently opposed this
proposition. He said: Speaking
as a soldier of that war, that the
idea of making these old veterans
swear to their poverty is an insult
to their valor and patriotism" Mr.
George, replying, said he had not
offered this as an original PROPOSE
ton, and not as rejecting his idea Of
the measure of justice due to these
worthy veterans. He wanted to
give them more, but as the Senate
had just voted down a proposition
to pay them $12 so a month, he
desired to do the best he could for
them. Mr. Georges amendment
