TOT the sake OF MS Gar tdtnerlaut,
Connt Tolstoi, the Minister ogtho In
torior, ,undertook to perform a very
clever feat. 1t ia generally known
that for many years past all tho pow
ers of Europe have looked upon Mill
ism as a smsrting thorn IN the Czar's
hell. The homo troubles, il was be.
lieved, would not allow the Russian
autOcrat 10 WELD all his huge forces
against any foreign enemy. There.
fore the illustrious Count dug a
grave for Nihilism, performed a
funeral service and delivered an
obituary Grafton over 1t, "Nihilism
Is dead" said the Cars minister.
and II was flashed through the wires
that enciIcle the globe. As all the
governors in Russia are under the i'm.
mediate command of the Minister of
the Interior, and all tho newspapers
are under the unavoidable control of
| tho same minister, 10 has for the last
three years looked here indeed as II
Nihilism had turned unto plain nihil.
suddenly news came here from the
City Of kharon that Nlhihsm was vet
alive, These are tho facts: A few
days ago, at midnight, in the City of
kahrkon, there was arrested In the
street man who proved to
DO armed like q regular terror
49,. he had on his person pistol, q
| dagger and some poison In order TO
I get all the glory to themselves, the
| gendarmes, without informing their
/ superiors, tried to find the house in
which tho captured Mills. resided.
In q suburb they found q house in
which one OF tho two bCardors was
missing, and they guessed that that
was the place they needed Though IL
was past 9 o'clock in the morning,
Yet the other man was fest asloep.
They awoke him and asked him 10
dress himself Two gendarmos sat on
the bed OF their man, waiting for him,
Suddenly no thrust his hand under
his pillow, snatched big pistol and
fred at one Of tho two gondarmos,
lie missed his aim aud the two mon
grappled with him. Another shot was
tired and Gendarmo Eessenko foil,
MORALLY wounded. A third gem
darme rushed into the room and his
wrist was pierced with a bullet.
More men rushed In and the Nihilist
was oyerpowered ard secured. His
name as II appeared from his pass,
was Platon Lebedinsky. The wounded
gendsrme was taken 20 q hospital, but
died on the way. In q few minutes
all the authorities of Kharkofl, with
hundreds ofpolioemen and gondarmes,
were. a. the place Of shooting. In
broad daylight, before crowd OF peo-
pie, they had discovered the Nlhillst
quarters in regular running order.
There was secret printing press, and
piles of orders Of the much.dreaded
Executive Committee; dynamite, MI
roglycerine and bombs ready for use;
a little armory Of pistols, daggers aud
cartridgesi different masks and wigs
and dyes and othor accessories OF
Nlhlllst quarters. There was an
oven luil OF explosives, which no man
IA hhafkon dared 20 approach, and so
an expert ON tho Nihilish bombs was
sent mere nom this city. The expert
p,aceu Domb In hollow tree and ex-
rent. The simple minded residents M
Khsrkoff thought that an oarthonalse
shook them. Wooden splinters flew
for half mile. Now II transpires that
during tho last three years, which M.
peared so quiet, the number of tbe
arrested Nihilists was as large "a in
the livollost timos Of terrorism, Rat
everything was done quietly, The
vlctisms, without any trial, were hid
den beyond "nino iron doors,n rs n
Russian fairy tale runs. and tho
tongues Of the witnesses their arrest
were sealed under the penalty of
Siberia. No,Nihillsm will not die till
the people OF Russia will long for ami
hilation OF the monstrous systom of
autocracy.-[Ex.
